The Swan Inn

We stayed for two nights and met with 22 more family members for a meal in the barn on the second night for a 60th birthday celebration . We had 2 double rooms and 1 twin room and all were superb. The presentation of each room, the small personal touches such as soft classical music playing from the radio in the bedroom when we arrived, the guided tour of the honesty room and clear instructions for the rooms facilities made us feel instantly welcome. The staff are fantastic, the food is exquisite and I can’t wait to return.

We have wanted to come since the pub reopened based on the strength of the reviews. Booked through Mr and Mrs Smith but could have easily booked direct. Room 10, Elgar - at the end of the corridor on first floor and not above the pub. It was quiet but a little road noise early in the evening before the traffic died down which it did given the rural location. Lovely room, could not fault. The pantry has great cakes and the like plus a very well stocked honesty bar with some stunning wines. Breakfast was good and one of the best kippers I have ever had ! We slightly struggled with the dinner menu as staying two nights. On the second night, the only special was a large piece of beef, too large for a single person as the smaller size had sold out. The poussin on a bed of tomatoes was a little too full of tomatoes. Good not great I am afraid. Service was friendly but other tables had missing dishes which in one case never appeared. Charming pub / hotel, worth trying as in a great location and they are still feeling their way
