“In need of a bit of tlc”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

My partner and I called in here for a drink on the way home from a walk. We used to live in Bradford on Avon and this was one of our regular watering holes. Still is when we visit the town. I asked for a diet coke, out of stock until Tuesday. My partner asked for a pint of 6X, which is brewed in nearby Devizes by local brewery Wadworths. The Swan hasn't stocked this for 5 years!!
Looking at the decor of the bar area, at least 3 lights needed replacing. We have the same sort of lights at home, we could have provided them with spares. I went to the ladies. The same basin has had an "out of order" sign on it for months and the lock on the door of the loo I used was broken.

“Nice room - good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

Stayed in room 1 - lovely quiet room away from any noise. Room was really nicely decorated - it is a real shame that the bathroom was in need of an update. Loved the feeling of the building overall and was all very clean but agree with some of the other reviews that a few things need updating (windows/curtains, bathroom). Really lovely staff and excellent breakfast. A little on the expensive side but would probably go back.

Room Tip: Room 1 - lots of stairs but really nice and quiet.

“Very Poor”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2011

Where to start.

Ice cold room with curtains that did not fit the window. Very scruffy decoration and tatty carpet. Holes in the duvet cover. Plug missing in bath. Unable to get the shower to deliver anything more than lukewarm water. Noisy location. Expensive.

On the plus side the breakfast was good.

“Nice homely hotel - service seemed all a bit too much to give”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011

Stayed in room 1. Lovely room and very comfy - if a little squeaky - bed. Bathroom a bit shabby and tired though. The disappointment was when asking for lunch - or a drink a fraction late... the default answer seemed to be a grudging yes... I'll ask the chef - or ok, but you can only have one drink. We got what we wanted but were left feeling that we shouldn't have asked and that we were putting people out.
Fair enough I suppose but just didn't feel very valued.
Would we stay again? - probably, just.

Room Tip: Go superior - the rooms are definitely worth it...

“Shabby but still good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

The rooms are looking in need of TLC. Our bathroom had paint peeling off the walls but was otherwise a lovely room. Having said that the location is superb, the atmosphere in the public rooms is good and the English breakfast is one of the best we have had. we would still stay here again.
