Ear plugs supplied next to the bed for a reason.
Beautiful room, with a comfortable bed and very clean. The food was great and service very good. However, fundamental to staying in a hotel is getting a good night's sleep. I appreciate it's a 16th century building and probably heavily controlled in terms of building / planning regulations but my colleague in the next room and I were both kept awake most of the night by the street noise, and church bell opposite. Every hour on the hour. Every conversation you could hear from outside, every moped buzzing around and even normal conversations from passers by. We stayed at similarly aged hotels on our business trip who all had internal double glazing (not changing the exterior frames etc. If you wonder why there are two jars of ear plugs next to the bed...that's why. Shame as a lovely property and great food. Just don't expect to get alot of sleep

6/10 Good

The welcome was warm and I was shown to my room - a large well appointed room with an immaculate bathroom. All good so far. Unfortunately, it wasn't until I went to bed I realised the constant noise of traffic on the A22 that carried on until the early hours of the morning. This coupled with the Town Hall clock that chimed every hour resulted in a night of poor sleep. I should have realised that the noise would be excessive as the Swan had provided ear plugs by the bed. In the morning, I came down for breakfast and was quickly greeted with 'breakfast is extra'. This wasn't a problem but the price of £18.98 was excessive and I felt that being charged extra for coffee was unreasonable. The breakfast itself was fairly average and certainly didn't warrant the cost. In places the Swan is a bit tatty and, I would suggest that the tired single glazed windows could do with being replaced to counter the noise.

Overnight stay
Clean and comfortable room. We had a meal in the pub and the food was very good. Church bell was chiming through the night, hotel had thoughtfully supplied earplugs!

Very dirty and noisy!
Very dirty and noisy. The accommodation rooms are located by the busy kitchen entrance door and all i could smell was the kitchen and cooking all of the time (not ideal) My room was at the front of the pub/ hotel and could hear the busy road and roundabout throughout the night.

Exactly what you want from a nice pub with rooms. Clean, comfortable and a large bed. Nice toiletries provided, nice bedding and fluffy towels. Easy to go downstairs for breakfast or dinner or go out to the walkable options. We stayed here to enjoy 100 acre wood which is a short drive or walk away. Friendly staff at the hotel.

Great room, but service not so good
Very nice, spacious room, and bathroom. A bit disturbing at first was the kitchen fan outside the door, but one got used to the humming, and it was off after the kitchen had closed. During our 2 night stay there was no room cleaning or replenishing of tea/coffee etc. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent but pricey. They would not let us book breakfast with the room on arrival, so make sure if you want it to book with the room. Otherwise breakfast menu is more expensive. But there are lovely places in the village to have breakfast.

A nice dog friendly pub
We stayed in a double room with an extra bed for our adult daughter, plus our dog, which was amply big enough. It was clean and comfortable, although there were signs of wear in the decor. We had dinner which was OK but nothing particularly special. We ate in the bar because we had our dog with us so it was good they allowed dogs in the bar area. We marked it as 4 star because when we came to pay, it wasn't pointed out to us that they had already added a service charge so we automatically added another 10% and only noticed after we'd paid. Technically, our fault for not checking but it was obvious that we hadn't noticed so it would have been better if they'd said something.

Great find at a great price
Lovely room underneath the pub. Really easy parking and check in. Room very spacious, large TV, good sized shower cubicle. Bed extremely comfortable. Tea/coffee available in room, more oat milk than cows milk sachets would be great but plentiful even for a couple.

Not deep cleaned
We understand the hotel is pet friendly but we were unable to stay in room due to allergies. Not a deep clean as stated by staff. Cobweb over shower head dust around skirting . Room also smelt damp and black mould on grouting in shower. We couldn't stay the night so choose to drive home. I had emailed hotel next day but had no response .

We were warmly welcomed by a lovely lady I didn't catch her name) The room I requested (with a bath) hadn't been allocated to us but after a call this was sorted and the room we stayed in was lovely. We ate in the pub, my husbands beef short rib was only luke warm, they said it would be replaced but would take 20 mins,we said just to warm properly would be ok, which was done although I did think that some money should have been taken off or complimentary drinks offered but they were not. The breakfast was lovely but no cereal, yoghurt, fresh fruit or croissants which are usually offered at most hotels and b&b's.
