The hotel looks freshly done inside. Everything looks nice and new. The rooms are very clean and the bathrooms are very nice and big also. The dining room serves decent meals and a lovely breakfast. The staff are friendly and helpful. I would whole heartedly recommend this hotel. The town it's located in is also very pretty, with a lovely... More

Stayed for one night prior to a flight from Stansted. Full of praise for the place and the staff! Good food, nice atmosphere and very good value for money. Simply put, we will always stay here whenever we have a flight from Stansted!

We had eaten here when staying in the area for our daughter's wedding and found it good. So when an old uni friend from the States wanted to meet up with us in North Essex, it seemed the ideal place to stay. Our room was comfortable, with a big bathroom - a corner bath I didn't get time to try.... More

3 of us stayed at the Swan Hotel as we were working in the area and wanted a little treat as we were away working on a week-end and the Swan was just the ticket. A real lively atmosphere in the bar with some great beer on offer made for a really enjoyable evening. The food was excellent and very... More

Having just read the most recent review I think we must have stayed at a different pub! We were staying in the main building for 2 nights and both of us agreed we had never stayed in such a noisy place before. The noise that came from the plumbing system was unbelievable, and resembled, without exaggeration, a fog horn going... More

We have just stayed at the Swan for two nights, with two other couples. My husband and I had stayed previously in December so didn't hesitate to book again, this time it was an Old English Inns two-night offer, where else could you stay for £17.50 pppn and have fresh strawberries, followed by smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for breakfast?...

We had an excellant midweek lunch; Chicken breast,bacon and goats cheese cooked in a Provençal sauce. This was cooked perfectly, the service was quick and the food delivered piping hot. My compliments to the Chef.
