Great hotel, cleanliness and location - perfect!
Really good stay. The hotel was exceptional - the decor, cleanliness, location and views are first class. Staff were really polite and attentive. Great place to stay in the lakes and we will be returning.

Thumbs up.
The hotel was lovely and the room we stayed in had a very comfy bed, tea and coffee facilities and a river view. The food was very nice although a little on the pricey side. I was a bit disappointed that the picture of the pool on the website which went outside was only accessible via the spa though. Breakfast was a little chaotic and took us sometime to get our breakfast ordered. Overall this was a great one night stay.

The worst hotel I never stayed at! Accidentally booked for the wrong date. Contacted the hotel about 3 months in advance to try and change the booking and given an absolute flat ‘no’ despite there still being availability at the correct date. Really poor customer service.

Great location, decent food and good bed. Dissapointed charged an extra £65 for a dog, when selected a pet friendly room via expedia. Customer service was very poor and one staff members attitude was awful. Expected better from a hotel such as the swan. Wont stay again, very stressful experience checking in, not relaxing as it should be.

Too many little things missing
Air con unit in the bedroom with a sign saying no longer working, but no fan. No bath mat or grab rails, only shower over bath and very slippery. No toilet brush. No shower cap or cotton buds. Large containers of shampoo and conditioner did not pump. Breakfast -make your own toast but it burns the toast and was told " it always does that !" Coffee was served but i'd almost finished my breakfast by the time it arrived.

Swan experience
Had a lovely stay at Swan Hotel, lovely view but windows could do with a wash. Pleasant and friendly staff. Disappointed in pool area of hotel, sauna out of order and steam room not working properly. One of the reasons why we decided to stay at this hotel was the leisure facilities. The spa at the end of hotel was a 2 hour experience and it seemed you had to book this, I'd rather come and go as I pleased. It was a special couple of days away for my 70th Birthday so a wee bit gutted it did not come up to expectations.

5 stars*** couldn't fault a thing
Couldn't fault a thing. Friendly staff, comfortable rooms with everything you need, hair dryer, iron (and board), tea making facilities, etc.. Restaurant and breakfast food all amazing, cater for all dietary requirements with a varied range. Great facilities, we enjoyed the pool/sauna/steam room, gym and playing pool. Can't rate the spa as unfortunately we were too late making bookings but goes to show how good it must be, snooze you lose, lol, but will definitely be booking again. Nothing was too much for the staff who were all friendly and helpful. Location/area was great, plenty of parking. Great location for visiting surrounding areas, walks attractions, etc. Highly recommend.

Really disappointed but could be great
Stayed in a pet friendly room (109), didn’t expect it to be perfect. The room: TV was damaged / dark in the middle not working properly. Walls and skirting boards were dirty, cobwebs all around the ceiling. Bathroom floor was dirty. Furniture was in need of a decent clean where pets had clearly been on them despite this being banned on the welcome note. I understand we booked a pet friendly room but it appeared basic cleaning had not been completed. We had an adjoining door and enjoyed being part of our neighbours conversation all night. Got a knock in the morning from staff asking if we’d checked out yet?? The Swan Inn: No evening meal available for a gluten free vegetarian and a lack of menu/allergen knowledge from staff, ordered salad and chips but had a reaction to gluten. Table service poor - ignored when we first arrived and took 20+ minutes to get 2 drinks. Staff missed starters on the table next to us and gave someone an alcoholic drink when they asked for 0%. A bit of a sh show. Breakfast took 45 minutes from ordering to arrive and was mostly cold. Had to wait 20 minutes again for a pot of tea, table next to us gave up waiting for their coffee. Spa - only got use of the health club and not to spa pictured when booking. Couldn’t access showers in the changing room as a maintenance guy was in them, sauna had litter in it, steam room not so steamy, swimwear dryer didn’t work. Positives - dog friendly roof over our head in a good location to see the lakes
