Nice comfortable small hotel in quaint hamlet
One night stay in a superior room with king size bed. Comfortable room with heating on full so turned down radiators. Kettle and Coffee machine but no milk so fetched some. Nice bar area and large dining hall. Prebooked dinner at Mill House which is sister hotel and across the road and had breakfast there as no chef turned in.

Lovely stay in the countryside.
Recently stayed at the Old Swan for our wedding anniversary and it was a really nice hotel and restaurant. Lovely little gem in the middle of the countryside, a building with a lot of character.
The room was nice and the bed was comfortable. The shower was good, although would be no good if you were very tall!
The games room in the pub was great, we spent our afternoon playing shuffleboard and a Cotswolds version of monopoly.
We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel, both of which were very nice. The staff were attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Not a great stay!
Okay! However short staffed. Not an over welming experience.
Would have expected a much better staff friendlier atmosphere for the price of the room!
Food just okay!
Not worth the money to stay there!!

Brilliant stay, check in was quick and smooth. Show to our rooms which were clean and spacious with large king bed. Staff were excellent during the stay and even did us a meal which wasn't on the recently updated menu. Breakfast freshly cooked and again adapted the choice for my colleague.

Beautiful place and the food was amazing! Just need to put a mirror, plug and chair in the same area in the room and it would be perfect (minor thing in a room that was otherwise lovely).

It was a great break. Only issue was the 24/7 music from the public system,the speaker in the dining room was right under my bedroom. Being an old building the soundproofing is non existent

A lovely pretty location. Staff were friendly and attentive, kitchen could be a little slow at times and food was ok. Some aspects of room needed some care, radiators needed bleeding although oil rads were supplied, loose toilet seat and taps. We still enjoyed our stay as these were not big issues.

There is nothing not to like. I have stayed at 5 star hotels all over the world - this is hands down one of the best I have ever stayed at. Beyond unbelievable service.
