Amazing!

Amazing! I have stayed before in the pub but this time I was given the “cob”. A lovely annex out the back - absolutely beautiful and amazing value for money. Attentive service. Great outdoor space with a pizza oven. Will be going back soon for sure.

This is a great pub with v good food and stunning gardens to sit in the sun BUT do not stay in Room 6 (has bathtub) it’s top of the pub and like a furnace. Only one small window opens and all heat from pub gets trapped in the stairwell and into the room. Staff put a fan in there made no difference - even gave us bucket of ice but still horrifically hot - it NEEDS an aircon unit.

Really enjoyed our 1 night stay- lovely room, toiletries, great breakfast, staff were friendly and the outdoor area was lovely in the sun. However we were surprised that the hotel/ pub closed up at 11pm on a Saturday evening so when we got back from dinner we found ourselves locked out. Turns out we hadn’t been given a side door key on arrival. All was resolved but was a little surprised! We also found the rooms to have very very thin walls and floors.. so we were woken up by other guests very early

Beautiful Cotswolds stay

This is a very special place to stay. Wonderful welcoming hosts, and exceptional food. It’s very traditional but also luxurious and the open fires in the restaurant and individually decorated rooms are such a treat. I would highly recommended this hotel.

We can’t say enough good things about our stay at the Swan. It was absolutely magical and pure bliss. It was utter perfection and we couldn’t ask for a better stay. Thankyou to everyone who made this such a magical stay. Our honeymoon was perfect because of you all!

Super staff giving good service.

Great staff providing great service. The one disappointment was the bedroom which was looking rather tired and tatty in places. The bed was suffering from age and we could feel the springs. This detracted from what otherwise is a little gem of a hotel.
