Disliked: N/A

Very disappointing- no worth the...

Liked: The meal was delicious, my steak being perfectly cooked and my crumble was yummy. Carpark is private and spacious and the staff were friendly
Disliked: Not so good:- We had dinner in the Swan Room which despite a radiator under the window was cold. Before we moved to the window it was cold enough for my wife to leave her outdoor coat on at the table. This room is in desperate need of 'warming up' and I'm not only talking about the heating. I know this stuff is subjective, but dark stone, white walls and bright 'naked' type light bulbs are not "cosy country inn". The room is cold and atmosphere-less. Some warm paint tones and colourful accessories to brighten the room up are desperately needed. Softer, warmer lighting should be tried - maybe colourful shades? The effect of the cold decor is that we weren't encouraged to stay longer with our meal and hence ordered less which translates in to lower income. The online menu differs slightly from the printed one. I really fancied the Sheperds Pie as advertised online with a pint of Hobgoblin Ruby, neither of which was available. They don't do Irish coffee!? Why? It's not rocket science and pretty much anyone can make it and it wasn't as though they were busy. The stairs from the lounge area to the bedrooms is STEEP and WINDING, beware! Another stair case from the carpark is available. Our room was overall nice but, some paintwork in our ensuite needed sprucing up and the divan base to the bed was yellowing discoloured - a bit yucky. The shaving mirror in the ensuite was missing and you needed training in Hogwarts magical skills to get the wc to flush. In context, the room was £155 for the night. Remember, this is a mid week low season rate without breakfast and quite frankly, not worth the money. Based on our experience, £110/night would have been a fair price. Lord knows what it is in the summer, but sadly there are so many others of this type to try, we wont be back.

Superb

Liked: excellent service, very comfortable rooms and great food at the restaurant
Disliked: room was a little too warm for me overnight

A relaxing weekend away in...

Liked: I have visited The Old Swan many times over the years. I love the ambience and also the old building. My visits here are now about reminiscence and memories while enjoying good food in comfortable surroundings.
Disliked: The stairs are a bit precarious but worth the effort.

Nice accommodation but all aspects...

Liked: Accommodation excellent. Liked the log fires
Disliked: Found restaurant lacking.First choice we ordered on limited menu unavailable,I had a very disappointing steak with many uncooked chips.Very cold in restaurant very expensive for poor quality food.Also at breakfast there were no tables available and had to wait over half an hour to be seated

Beautiful place but would opt...

Liked: The room was comfortable clean and full of character. Breakfast at the Mill was a beautiful setting and an excellent meal. Compliments to the chief on his excellent scrambled eggs.v
Disliked: I was disappointed with our dinner, the menu was the same as we had been offered at lunch and my main course was very small in size, although tasty. Staff at the Swan seemed rather short staff when we arrived and my husband had found his beef sandwich for lunch disappointing. The meat was pink and hard to chew.

Superb

Perfect hotel
