The White Swan

The bedroom was clean but quite cold and very dim lights. The place was advertised as bed and breakfast and restaurant with pub food. There was no food whatsoever and was told to walk down the street. There was a live band in the pub that was so loud we were unable to sleep one night until gone midnight. All I can say is will will not stay again.

The bar staff are amazing I cannot knock them but on booking it would have been nice to of been told there was a live band on. My entire room was shaking it was that loud still at 11.30pm at night. We’d booked the room thinking it would be a quiet room away from The pub. The band may as well of been playing next to my bed it was that loud. It’s not suitable as a hotel room if they’re going to have loud bands on and not inform paying guests. Aside from that the band was actually horrific I thought it was karaoke at one point the lead singer was that tone deaf. I’d of had a better nights sleep laid in the middle of the M1 to be honest!

Friendly staff , very welcoming . Comfortable bed, spacious room. Had an excellent stay

I see Trip Advisor lists the White Swan’s property amenities as having free breakfast but when my husband and I got there, we were told there was NO KITCHEN, so NO BREAKFAST! We weren’t told that on booking. Had to go down the road to the Advocate Arms Hotel for all our meals, which were all lovely, and we’d have definitely stayed at the Advocate had it not already been fully booked for the date we wanted. On arrival, we were told there would be a singer in the lounge that night and we might hear music in our room – that was an understatement, the music was so loud, it sounded like the singer was in our room with us! I had asked when the music would be finishing and was told @ 11pm but it went on way after that and seemed to get louder towards the end. This inn should not be taking in paying guests for accommodation, it really looks like it’s on its last legs, the rooms are very small with nowhere to put anything (we couldn’t get anything out of our suitcases) and if the owners want to stage live music, they cannot expect to have guests trying in vain to sleep upstairs.

A good location and clean comfy room, but the hotel itself seems to be on the decline, with the pub very poorly patronised. Good beer, but no food available at any time, staff only in evidence (at the bar) during pub opening times. Parking available and handy for exploring the area. Inexpensive, so maybe to be expected, but could easily be better.

Had a lovely stay but it was lacking in staff. My room was fine but noisy in the evenings.

Doesn't do food which website said it did not very clean, bins not empty from previous people, noisy, shower was still dirty

Only there for 1 night and arrived late so didn't really have much time but the Swan is well located and has a good range of drinks, including Real Ale (on Keg) in great condition. Check In and time in bar was great and well managed by staff member on duty.

I guess you get what you pay for. Apart from the beds being very comfortable everything else was tired and needed a bit of TLC. The room we were in needed decorating, curtain pole was falling off. If was dark and not very welcoming. However the rooms themselves were clean and tidy. No food at the pub during our stay so we went to the Advocate Arms which was superb.
