    A large party was booked in and we had the room above the area of where they was. It was noisy, you couldn’t just sit in a cosy pub and relax due to the kids screaming. They seemed to dominate the pub.

    Continental breakfast included in stay which was better than we expected. Toast, Greek yogurt with berry compote and cereal. English breakfast additional cost.

    I didn't stay longer

    It was a last-minute stay for work purposes. On arrival I had a beautiful Happy welcome from the staff in the restaurant. Within 5 minutes of booking in, I was in an epic bath soaking my day of aches and pains away. The food served was fantastic. Spent the end of my day sat next an open fire. Before getting into a Super queen Super comfy bed. Ready for the day ahead of me. Would highly recommend The Swan Inn, for a stay, a great meal or even a drink 😊

    Our room (4) was directly above the kitchen so was quite noisy late and night and early in the morning. The mattress definitely needs replacing as it was sagging badly both sides with a big ridge down the middle! The included breakfast was very limited, anything cooked was extra money. We were also charged £25 for bringing a dog, which seems excessive give they don't provide anything for this. Other places we've been will provide a dog bowl, poo bags etc for less money.

    Very nice old pub building, beautifully decorated with open fires. Lovely staff. Good food (albeit expensive). Very nice room for the money we paid. Extra charges for dog and most breakfast items made what would otherwise have been an exceptional stay for the money just a good one. That said, we would return.

    We found the evening meal expensive for a family. The main courses and soft drinks were nearly as much as our one night’s accommodation. The food is delicious though.

    Very comfortable beds. Very clean. The continental breakfast is superb and was included in the night’s stay.

    When Im on the road I like a country pub with comfy rooms hot water warm fires and good food and a few local in the bar, oh and quiet location with good parking. The Swan lived up to and exceeded all my expectations and the bed and room were incredibly comfortable. Great value including delicious breakfast. This will be my new number one when looking for an overnight when passing theroough the Cotswolds. Well done to thee whole team - you get it absolutely right on all points!

    There were a few stains on the carpet by one of the windows but really not that big of a deal. Only one thing that would be amazing is to add a thin other curtain to let the light in but not be seen from the streets so that the blackout curtains don’t have to be completely shut.

    Everything! We loved every second of it, the food and drinks were outstanding! The bed was extremely comfortable and the lining was too die for. The bath was also so comfortable after a long cold day out it was just perfect. Not to mention the staff who was adorable and always helpful. The included breakfast was also incredible. So sad it went by so quick but cannot wait to be back :)

    Our only niggle was the bed dipped into the middle.

    The staff were very friendly and attentive and made us and our dog feel very welcome. The room was absolutely stunning - we stayed in the Cygnet suite, which was huge and everything about it was beautiful. We had a fabulous cooked breakfast to see us on our way - the best eggs Benedict I've ever had! Needless to say I would totally recommend the Swan.

    I don't usually write these reviews but I'm compelled to this time. This is the best pub/accommodation/location in the Cotswolds. The staff are warm, genuine, and welcoming. A real gem of a place to stay especially if you're visiting the Diddly Squat shop or Burford.

    Considering we stayed in brand new annex, I could hear everything going on in upstairs bedroom, zero soundproofing. No mirror in bedroom when using hairdryer.

    Gorgeous traditional pub with rooms, stayed in brand new annex in the cob room that has the wow factor! Tastefully decorated with high end furnishings and gorgeous bathroom. Also had evening meal in pub that was superb, served by very friendly and helpful staff. Great continental breakfast also included in room rate. Highly recommended despite minor issues.
