Lovely 400 year old pub situated in small village opposite an imposing church with Alms Houses. There is also a windmill just down the road, open for viewing at weekends. The staff were really friendly, helpful and attentive. The meals were excellent with a wide choice, particularly breakfast. The pub was very busy when we arrived (a bank holiday) and... More

Hi, we stayed her with another couple for a weekend recently. We stayed in a room in the outside annex which was okay. Their was new carpet and furniture but the windows were still a bit grotty and the bathroom was a bit tired. Our friends stayed in the main part of the pub and although I didn't see their... More

Just stayed for 1 night (4-5 May 2013) at the Swan Hotel as we were attending a wedding reception nearby. We were welcomed warmly and checked in smoothly. Our room was comfortable with plenty of tea, coffee etc. The ensuite bathroom could probably benefit from some updating but this did not effect our stay. We had dinner in the evening... More

Made a prepaid reservation through Booking.com only to be told that payment hadn't been taken in advance. This is unfair to both the customer who may have already thought that they had paid and also unfair to the reception team who have to try and convince the guests they won't be paying twice. More the fault of booking.com (whom I... More

We booked The Swan to celebrate my birthday on the weekend of the 20th/21st April. When we arrived we found no parking spaces so had to park in a nearby public carpark (which wasn't too much of an issue). Our room, No. 18, well what can I say. It was in the coach house in the car park in a... More

Our party of 12(6 rooms) had a really great time,the staff were very helpful,especially the manager Paul, & a team member,Christina.The hotel is being slowly upgraded which needs to continue.In terms of value( we were on a very good offer) it was exceptional.I trust that the bar takings were better than normal.Patsy & Denis, Whitstable.

Regrettably this pub restaurant appears to be a little out of its depth: there were clearly not enough staff on duty to provide a fast and efficient service for its many diners when I and my family ate there midweek recently. This is surprising, as the meals seem to be shipped in rather than prepared fresh: on ordering a vegetarian... More

If this was an "old fashioned " school report I would have to, and do, say " Must try harder." Probably below average Old English Inn property, slightly shabby but then again most do need some investment as far as I have seen.On the other hand we do use them for the value factor. Pluses: Great location Pretty village Standard... More

Went to the Swan for an evening meal with friends, whilst the food was good, service was very unprofessional, from being called darling by the waitress when serving us, to being shouted at across the room by the manager just after finishing our meal, telling us to move in to the bar area so that the waitress could lay the...
