Second time I have stayed here and a pleasure to return. Staff were polite and helpful though a little inclined to use the royal "we"! It was certainly worth paying a bit more for something a bit better than a Prem. Evening meal was vey good, breakfast tasty

I always find it difficult to decide on my breakfast choice the night before, Seemed on day one to lack any sugar at breakfast ,staff were busy and I had finished my weetabix before I saw anyone. Coffee was okay but it would have been nice to have fresh coffee out of a cafetiere that I could easily top up; either that or provide bigger mugs rather than smallish cups.

I stay here once a year when i visit Blyton for a motorcycle track day. I cannot fault the Hotel for its comfort, cleanliness, good food, friendly, very professional and courteous staff and value for money. I have quite severe allergies and they are very conscious of how my meal is prepared. I guess the added bonus is they have no issues with motorcycle guests, as some place do. Car park is adjacent to the hotel.

My bathroom smelt quite strongly of stale water, that smell like old dishcloths. (no.7) That is my only complaint but it did not ruin my stay, just kept door closed.

Love the location and the staff are great !food is beautiful overall fantastic stay !

We have normally stayed in the hotel but on this occasion was put in a separate part . The room was quite small for a 3 night stay the longest we’ve been .The walls aren’t soundproof and through the night could hear people banging doors and generally being loud.Not that I’m a party pooper but can’t people just shut doors .We where next to the maids cupboard so we was up when the maids began due to the noise which we normally are early birds but didn’t plan to be up early as we had worked so hard so wanted a rest .lovely place and we do love going but my request next time would be to remain in the hotel that’s just my opinion everyone has a different idea of relaxation .

The staff throughout were exceptional, I am from a red star hotel background, these people were superb, truly friendly, keen to help, faultless . My only. Concern , the rooms were modern and spotless was the temperature, it wasn't a HOT day but the provided fan was required. Dinner was at a level way above average Gastro pub, breakfast faultless. These folk have recognized how to make life good for their customers and a bit easier for the staff, a pre ordered breakfast helps all round, decent sized car park, though the place must have 120 covers!, literally,🤪. The modern world of tech in booking and ordering aside, a BEAUTIFUL location, by a village riverside, lots of landscaped outdoor seating, whoever redid this country pub to this superb small hotel and restaurant needs applause. 😎😎

Aircon would have been nice, but a fan provided, and it is Northern england

Generally very nice & pleasant. Car park is a bit poky.

I paid for the breakfast but found the kitchen had run out of items early. I went for breakfast at 9:45 whereas it was supposed to end at 10. I was rudely told that I was late and the other customers had eaten all the food. I was also told to sit at a specific small table in the corner as the rest of the tables were being prepared for lunch. The staff should treat breakfast as their top priority until the official end time has passed. They knew I was coming because it was pre booked. This is poor service. The food that did arrive was good.

Fab location to where we needed, food in the restaurant for Dinner was fabulous. The rooms were clean, fresh and warm and whilst a little on the smaller size very comfortable and fit for purpose. Ingenious what they could fit into the rooms with sliding doors. Immaculately clean and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Breakfast for the continental option is a little lacking. There were a few pain au choc and croissants with jam, toast, but not much else. No proper coffee available only out of pre-made thermos.

Rooms have been created to a high standard, with quality fixtures, fittings and sanitaryware. Nice restaurant with rooms feel to the place. Well thought out use of space and plenty of safe parking on site or close by. Good selection of well kept real ale on tap.

Whilst I enjoyed the cooked breakfast, I did feel it was a bit of a 'light bite' compared to many I have enjoyed elsewhere. The staff were very focused on the restaurant side of the operation on arrival, so I felt that I was imposing on them. My poor timing most likely.

Staff were very helpful & friendly. Room & bathroom were very clean, bed very comfortable. We ate in the restaurant in the evening, both myself & my husband had a prawn cocktail to start, which was lovely. I had a sirloin steak & my husband had the rib eye steak. Both were exceptional. We both had the steak cooked medium rare, & they were cooked to perfection. For our dessert, I had sticky toffee pudding with ice cream & my husband had the strawberry cheesecake with clotted ice cream. Both desserts were excellent. The restaurant staff were very tentative and friendly. The following morning, I had the egg's benedict, & my husband had the full English breakfast. Safe to say, we absolutely loved our evening away for our wedding anniversary. Nothing was too much for the staff. Thank you so much to all the staff at The White Swan. We will definitely be returning very soon. 💗🥰

Nothing

Travelling on my motorcycle to be close to Blyton Airfield for a track day, a two night stay. Treated as 'equal' to any other guest. (any biker knows how that can sometimes be). Plenty of parking in hotel car park and feels secure. Lovely room overlooking the Green. Large walk in shower. Rooms are very clean. beds and pillows are very comfortable and the towels are good quality. All the usual tea/coffee/soap/shower gel. Ample room in wardrobe. All staff are super friendly and really professional. The absolute winner for me though was the restaurant. I am a coeliac and so over the years my expectation of a GF option for my meal usually means something is just taken away from the dish, so I am always losing out - (i.e. Think 'herb crusted Cod' - yes sir we have that as GF - no herb crust....) Well, The restaurant has a full separate GF menu and it was a joy to read and experience. Fish Pie, Lamb on pea puree and fresh veg (yes it was and al dente) I even had to double check the deserts - yes lemon tart and chocolate brownie were GF. And the food quality and presentation is also good. Wine was also good quality, could not fault my Pinot Noir. I don't really know the area, but this place is a hidden gem. Highly recommended.

I guess its all subjective but coming from an Architectural persuasion, the décor is lacking in finesse. Its a bit gaudy. Cool and classic would have been the way to go. No room safe for valuables, like my hard drive and laptop

Breakfast, room, dinner and bar

The extractor fan in the bathroom didn't work, made lots of noise but didn't extract. Radiator thermostat in room was stuck in off position. Bathroom sliding door too narrow to cover the opening. None of these spoiled my stay and this isn't a complaint, just comments for maintenance people which may be overlooked if guests don't give feedback.
