We chose this hotel as it was close to the motorway and therefore convenient, this proved to be its only merit. The room was in an ugly annexe outside the pub looking over the car park. The room felt cold and damp. We managed to get the heating on though we had no instructions. The mattress was obviously the cheapest possible and gave me a bad night sleep. The room was clean and the breakfast Ok though the woman serving spoke poor english and made a couple of mistakes with our order. I would not reccommend this hotel.

We popped in here for a quick weekday lunch. The place has just been taken over and was still being re-decorated, and now has a young, enthusiastic couple running it. They have transformed the atmosphere and the food. A new chef has brought in fresh, (largely) local ingredients whose origin is listed on a blackboard. We had one starter between us and then sandwiches with chips. The generous (hardly starter-sized) serving of haddock and pea risotto served with a poached egg was impeccable. Both the smoked salmon with lemon mayo sandwich, and the beef with horseradish sandwich were excellent and well served with salad garnish.
Considering the quality, the prices are low. This strategy is in order to rebuild the reputation of this comfortable pub.
Early days, but a promising start.

EnjoyEd my stay here a young talented couple have just taken over full of ideas and a bit of a way to go first class service and a great place to stay

The Swan Hotel really does not live up to the "Hotel" label. Think youth hostel or student accommodation instead. The accommodation block is separate from the pub and the damp musty smell as I entered it, followed by the sight of mould growing up the walls and over the shower in my room was inexcusable.
The heating is either on maximum or completely off thanks to a timer rather than a temperature control and the mattress was lumpy.
It looks like the rooms have been recently redecorated, but not resolving the damp and heating problems before redecorating is a fundamental problem.
