Excellent stay at The Swan. Staff were friendly, competent and nothing was too much trouble for them. Only one issue- my TV didn’t work properly and I was unable to access many channels. Normally this would not be an issue as I rarely watch it whilst away., but I missed a lot of the Olympics which I would have liked to see. The staff did their best but were unable to solve the problem. This didn’t impact on my stay however, and I look forward to returning as soon as possible. Thanks to everyone x

Sadly disappointing
Was in the Swan at Grassmere for a family birthday group booking. Was disappointed to see that the option of a deal of staying 2 nights with free dinner on the first night wasn’t offered through Hotels.com as it was offered at the Swan Hotel. Our rooms weren’t cleaned, bins not emptied or tea/coffee replenished during the stay and when I queried this the duty manager said that they should have been done but they must’ve been short staffed and gave me towels etc to do it myself. Food isn’t cheap and I ordered mussels in a sauce that was full of broken shells and what I would call barnacles still attached to the shells which were falling off into the sauce. It was sent back to the kitchen and replaced with a fresh dish of mussels which were clean and much better than the first time. Staff were pleasant enough but told us that it was more of a pub with rooms than a hotel. Some of my family had been at the Swan some years ago and loved it - but unfortunately none of us will be returning.
