I'd heard mixed reviews and as I didn't have much time to shop around I decided to phone and reserve a room here, as pictures were very premium on web. On the phone staff were very helpful and pleasant. After my 4 hour drive down I walked into bar too ask for keys was pleasantly welcomed and lead to my... More

We stayed here for one night to attend a party just around the corner. Having had The Swan as our local pub for a few years it was good to be back and great to see the pub packed on a Saturday night. We were very pleased to see complimentary water on the side as we walked in and although... More

Big mistake staying here, such shame to spoil a great day at the races by choosing to "sleep" here! Well we didn't sleep! Not only do you have to contend with the regular alarm clock style beeping of the level crossing 50 yards away, but if you are unlucky enough to stay in one of the downstairs rooms you have... More

After a change of management I decided to try again this handy hotel. Unfortunately the food is still of the same standard, we went on a curry night special and tried the Vietnamese Beef, with 50/50 rice and chips. The chips came lovely and crispy as well as hot. The main course as always arrives tepid and flavourless. It was... More

Stayed here recently on a Friday night then Sunday and Monday too. The location is excellent for anyone wanting to travel by train as it is right next door to the train station. On arriving on the Friday night we were worried when we saw the number of revellers outside the pub and were anxious about the potential noise levels... More

Having stayed here for a family visit in local area, i can recommend the swan to anyone. Read some reviews and can't understand what all the moaning is about. A very pleasant team in a lovely charming pub. Good service and quality beers on offer. Rooms were of a decent standard and will certainly stay or just pop in for... More

Having been a regular albeit 1/2 times a week I can only think Mr Brentford and JenniferHH are part of the old crowd that created such a chaotic atmosphere that my wife and I stopped visiting. We were not sure who would be arguing with who each week! The cask ale choice is now fantastic! The ladies bathrooms now have... More

I have just returned from a wonderful canal boat holiday with my grandchildren and on one of our many pit stops we popped into The Swan for a bit of lunch. The pub offers the perfect position not too far from the canal only a couple of minutes walk and has a lovely garden which the grandchildren loved. A lovely... More
