The hotel rooms were fine - comfortable and clean. However, we didn’t like the mass of pigeon mess and dead pigeons on the roof areas which were visible from the upstairs corridor windows. I did write to the hotel about this issue before posting a review but had no response so have to conclude that they don’t care!

Lovely couple of days

The Swan Hotel is a unique venue in a historic village which is like stepping back to Tudor times. Our large room had recently been refurbished and was lovely with a large super comfy bed. Personally I’d have preferred a walk in shower to one over the bath. Nice to have a safe in the room but positioning on the wardrobe floor wasn’t very practical.

BITTER SWEET!

Hotel excellent! Restaurant excellent! Staff & service outstanding! BUT the room we were expecting described as a Suffolk room according to the website! i.e a double room slightly larger than the Lavenham double room and is lighter and more airy could not have been further from the truth. The room allocated was a small dark room with two small ceiling height windows facing out onto a noisy main road. As the room was dark the electric lights needed to be kept switched on most of the time. The room was also very hot and stuffy requiring the electric fan (Provided by the hotel) to be kept in use most of the time, especially during the night! The bathroom which measured approximately 6' x6' ( No windows) housed a shower, wash basin and toilet! Located in the ceiling was an electric fan which unfortunately did not work so very unpleasant and humid when taking a shower etc. Please note: the room had excellent facilities ,toiletries dressing gowns TV Coffee/tea facilities etc. On making enquiries at the hotel reception! reference the room type? they advised that the room had been upgraded from a Lavenham to a Suffolk only 4 days before our arrival. As the room was pre-booked back in June 2024 for 2 nights the room was not as expected or good value for money.

5 Stars for Comfort

The Swan hotel is the perfect little get away for that homey type of feeling. Everything was of the best quality and comfort across the board was clearly on top of their list. All staff were eager to help and very welcoming. Our room was their standard but felt more like a junior suite. The food was delicious. The spa was perfect. 5 stars from me across the board.

We were a bit disappointed with the bar/outside service. We are sure the revenue of the hotel would improve if a member of a member of staff came out to the outside areas/bar to see if you would like anything else rather than you having to go inside and stand at the bar - often unmanned- for another order. See how the Greyhound organise themselves with customer service
