We loved the Swans Nest hotel. It's very walkable to everything, yet being just slightly away from the immediate town centre made it very quiet.

10/10 Excellent

Really nice hotel, room was spacious, staff friendly and helpful. A bit of a wait for breakfast as were full, bar stopped serving at 11pm on a Friday even for residents and air con in room was intermittent and no remote, but these were minor things for a really nice hotel with good staff a pub and restaurant on site.

10/10 Excellent

The beds and feather pillows were amazingly soft and comfortable. The room had AC which was a huge plus because it had been so hot and hard to sleep at other hotels. The best sleep we’ve had on our trip so far. Loved the quaint town.

Great stay, everything very near and accessible
Alex, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

An excellent team of staff. Nothing too much trouble and they all seemed to be happy in their work. It really does make a difference. The food in the restaurant was delicious. The hotel could do with a lift but because it is a listed building that’s not possible. Would recommend the hotel and we will visit again.
