"My wife and I stopped here the night of a friend's wedding reception at the pub across the road. As soon as we walked up to the building (an amazing exterior in itself! , we were greeted by the owners and some locals doing a bit of DIY outside. Everyone was so friendly and happy to chat to us! The interior of the building is unexplainable, you have to see it to believe it! Quirky and eclectic just doesn't do it justice, wow! We were shown to our room which was again amazing and just what we needed for a quick afternoon nap to sleep off the hangover! The owners were so helpful and helped us out with anything and everything! To top it off we awoke from our nap to find one of the dogs sleeping outside our room which just made everything even more homely (we have 2 dogs ourselves . The dogs are really friendly and love a good scratch! Off we went to the reception across the green, returning early the next morning it was a treat to return to such a lovely room with a gorgeous bed!! The next morning obviously feeling a bit fragile we ventured downstairs for some breakfast. There wasn't really a menu, the chef/owner basically just said he could Cook whatever we wanted! This was the perfect way to start the recovery from the night before and the breakfast was gorgeous! After getting our bags together we had a wander around the antiques shop next door which was an absolute treasure trove in itself! An incredible place with friendly and welcoming staff. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer. Will definitely return!"

"I visited the Swann with four friends for a Christmas lunch. We had preordered our meals from their Christmas menu.. Three of us arrived together and we were told we would find our table in the conservatory as it had our name on it. She said she would come and take our drinks order. We sat there until our other two friends arrived and then she eventually came to take our order for drinks. Our starters came and my Brie bites were nice and the comments about the fish cake was it was OK. Then the plates were taken away and the mains brought in. Three traditional roasts arrived and we said we had only ordered two as I had ordered a nut roast. The waitress came in with the order they had written down and it showed three roasts and no nut roast. Fortunately I am not a vegetarian so I had little choice but to have the Turkey roast. It was OK, a bit overcooked was our verdict. Again the plates were taken away and the desserts arrived. I had ordered G&T cheesecake. I had never eaten a cheesecake like it. No resemblance to any type of cheese and not sure where the gin and tonics came in. We had to find someone to serve us coffee and then again to ask for the bill which we then had to take to the bar to pay. Talk about do it yourself! Sorry but I won’t be going back, it was just a pub serving food. The staff had no idea how to serve people properly or how to interact with their customers."
