This is in a lovely location and if you’re looking for a very peaceful time, this is the place for you As for the food very very nice I’m a bit partial to sausage and mash and I would say it was probably the best sausage and mash that I’ve had for a long time
The only problem that we had was the tables outside they were very sticky from drinks where they haven’t been cleaned or wiped down and this caused a lot of problems with the wasps. I understand that when your outside you are going to get insects, but you can limit that by making sure the tables are clean and not sticky and putting wasp traps up that actually work

The property was absolutely stunning, combining Victorian elegance with modern touches done in a thoughtful way. The shower was huge, the bed was comfortable and the refreshments were lovely. A few suggestions - a door was creaking a lot when we first arrived and we were a little disconcerted to find that the door out to the back area from our room was left unlocked. In addition, the cushions and blanket on the bed were very scratchy which wasn't great due to sensory issues. Other than that, everything was well-kempt and just beautiful. Breakfast was delicious (the bacon was more burnt than crispy but that's down to personal preference I suppose) and the server was lovely. Thanks for making the night before my wedding so special.

I have loved the Old Swan for years. It is a magical place. The garden was pleasant. The rooms good sized. The bathrooms updated and just fine.
Needs a real thorough cleaning. Not just furniture dusting and vacuuming. The sills, the rafters, the window frames. It deserves more love. It is not air conditioned, so the windows need to be able to open at night. A small fan pushing around hot air doesn’t work well enough.

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
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.

Beautiful accommodation, really lovely quiet location and typical Cotswolds style. So cosy inside and room was perfect. Comfy bed, great shower. Tasty breakfast. Nice pub style downstairs and games available to play which was nice for a chilled evening. Lots of parking on site, large outdoor area when it was warm and sunny. Reasonably priced. Staff very helpful and friendly, would definitely stay again.
Food was slightly overpriced in our view for nice meals but nothing fancy for the price, as was the alcohol.. pricey for a standard glass of wine.

The property was set in an idyllic location and oozed with old English charm. Our room was spacious, comfortable and very clean. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. It certainly set you up for the day.
I had used the the hotel website to ask for additional requirements for our stay but on arrival some of these had not been done. However the manager went above and beyond to sort this out and all ended very well.

Breakfast service poor - took a long time to arrive. Arrived separately so I had finished by time other breakfast arrived. Fruit salad was supposed to be pomegranate, passion fruit, melon and pineapple- I just got melon and pineapple! Had to ask for toilet to be cleaned on arrival as a few hairs on toilet seat 🤨

Food was good, hearty breakfast and varied. All day food menu was limited but pleasant. Staff were very efficient and accommodating. Lovely roaring fires in the bar. Lots of history and character to the building. Lots of walks to explore when the weather is dry.
In our room the mattress needs replacing, it wasn't firm, very bouncy. Bedroom and bathroom could do with a refurbishment. Damp smell in the corridor outside our room.

Breakfast was great. The room comfy and cosy. The place has “olde worlde” charm and feel to it, and we liked it, a lot. The bar is a small maze of nooks and crannies and that makes it fun.
I’m being really picky but arriving at 3pm i really think the room should have been ready. I don’t know if it is a value for money place, it’s great but perhaps a little expensive for what’s on offer.

Definitely best place to stay. We are 100% coming back next year. Very clean. Love the garden outside for my dog . Dog friendly and staff there were very very friendly, helpful. Nice place to relax and enjoy your stay. The food is delicious. The atmosphere is so good and you feel so relaxed there. Old style building and fireplace making you so cozy and comfortable. Pls book your stay . We are from London and I can’t wait to be back there.
Nothing! All was perfect!!!!
