We’ve been to the Swan a few times over the past few years. It’s a real shame to see such a nice hotel be neglected. It is in dire need of a refurb. Peeling wall paper in the bar area, mold on the bedrooms and restaurant, hall lights not working. We were so disappointed, especially as they market themselves as a high-end hotel

We chose this hotel as it was promoted as dog friendly and we were visiting the area for hikes with our pup. Overall we enjoyed our stay. We thought the food in the restaurant was really great - especially the Sunday roast! Parking was included which was great, and there's a really nice trail right from the property that was perfect for morning strolls. The staff were very friendly and the room was spacious and nice. We did feel that overall the establishment was understaffed and it led to a subpar experience in some ways. We were constantly left waiting in the restaurant for orders to be taken and things were forgotten on numerous occasions. At the spa, they let way too many people in and it was overcrowded, loud and not relaxing. There wasn't even a spot on the wall to lean on in the hot tubs. This was a bit disappointing as its a lovely spa and has so much potential. Only sharing this feedback in hopes some small changes could be made to bring the hotel up to it's full potential!

A little bit dated and our room had quite a few stains on carpet and upholstery. Service at both the evening meal and breakfast was slow and appeared to be a lack of organisation/experince.
