Poorly thought out bathroom.

We stayed for 2 nights, whilst the room was very nice the bed was poorly made (quilt hanging out of the quilt cover). The bathroom extraction was almost non existent, it got extremely steamy after the shower was run. Also, I reported the fact that there is no shower cubicle, just a shower attachment over the bath with no shower curtain ! With even very careful handling this ultimately leads to getting the bathroom floor very wet. Finally, if you decide to take a bath instead, the toiletry containers are too high to reach without standing up to use them. Poorly thought out. Shame as the hotel and staff are great.

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.
