Stayed one night here , our room was lovely ,just a bit noisy as people moved around the rest of the hotel ,a bit disappointing as we had asked for a room with a bath and as no contact was made we assumed we would have one we didn't. Food and service very good ,well worth a visit

We stayed for one night in this hotel and in the end we enjoyed our visit, but it was not quite as we had expected. We stayed in a luxury room which was £160 a night, so we were assuming that the place itself as well as the room would be a cut above the average. When we arrived we... More

Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback. My apologies once again that you were not informed of the scheduled work prior to your visit; this was an internal communication error following which we have changed the way we pass on information to the reservation team so that they are fully briefed.

The Bull and Swan is a really nice hotel, the rooms are nicely decorated and have lovely things like proper coffee rather than instant, and high quality tea bags, not to mention the elderflower "tipple" taster which was very nice. It was also spotlessly clean and the bed comfortable. Service is friendly and good. What let this place down for... More

Thank you for your kind review of your room; I was thrilled to hear you enjoyed the ‘quirky’ little extras, the complimentary organic elderflower tipple being one of them. However, I am hugely disappointed that the food throughout your stay was not to our usual high standards. I do hope you give us another try so that we are able... More

Really good value alternative to the George. We needed a Sunday night over and tried to book the George well in advance but it was full. It was half the price at the Bull and good value for money. Service helpful and friendly. Breakfast excellent. Evening meal was unusual because we ate after the 6 -7 pm meal deal and... More

It was a pleasure to read your review and I absolutely appreciate you taking the time to post feedback. The entrance to our car park is indeed rather narrow; those a little less brave are most welcome to make use of the large car park at our sister hotel, The William Cecil, which is only just up the road. I... More

Just got back from an overnight stay at The Bull & Swan - what a wonderful place! Fantastic room - we stayed in The Stag - great size, comfortable beds, well stocked tea tray and the mini bottle of elderflower vodka was a welcome touch. The staff were great - in particular the very hard working bearded man who checked... More

We stayed here last night, in the Lyon room. As mentioned before the room has no shower, and the bath is in the room. The little bathroom is very cold, There was no plug next to the mirror for drying hair, although after asking if the other half wanted to come downstairs and use the tiolets in the bar, the... More

Whoever accepted the booking over the telephone completely ignored our requests. However, this was sorted out on arrival in a professional and pleasant manner and did not detract from a perfect 2 night stay. The B&S is a hotel that has managed to stay as a proper pub. Our dinner was very enjoyable and full marks too for having kippers... More
