The Bull and Swan

We went as two families meeting up for fun stay . We were really looking forward to meet up . The hotel is beautiful. It’s old and filled with history. It’s quirky and unique. We had lovely large room for 3 of us . My husband, my 13 year old daughter and myself. As did our friends . The rooms are close to main road so as expected there was noise . As list building I knew they could not do anything to change this. The furnishings in bedroom, bathroom and whole hotel was outstanding . The staff were very helpful and friendly . The only problem was the beds . We had booked family room and was expecting bed for my 13 yr old . There was a camp bed at end of large double bed . I can only describe it as more of a sun lounger with very thin cover to lay on made up . My 13 year old had very little sleep as it was very uncomfortable. As adults it was not stable or strong enough for one of us to safely sleep on . My daughter fell out of it . Because she was unable to sleep had impact on us all. I would advise in future family rooms should have bed in them as stated .This was not a bed by any stretch or imagination . Could easily be resolved by a simple mattress on wheels under the large bed could be pull out for use and would be safer and more comfortable. We would return but as a couple . We loved the ambiance and friendliness. Such a shame re beds in family rooms .

A wonderful place to stay. We had booked a Sunday stay deal which included a delicious Sunday roast lunch and wonderful breakfast. The room we were allocated was large, with a rolltop bath and everything you could need for a night's stay. Great selection of toiletries including a bubble bath :) The staff were very kind and attentive, and we very much enjoyed our stay. The road noise at night might be a bit of a distraction for some, but we slept really well, very comfy bed too.

Historic building full of character & charm, twisty stairs & low beams. Staff were all fantastic, cheerful & very helpful. We were lucky & were able to park almost outside, but the option of free parking just up the road was good. The main road is very busy which meant that with a room on the front with the windows open on a hot night, it was very noisy. There was a fan provided, which was also very noisy. Food was very good, with fresh ingredients from their own veg & herb garden at the back. Dinner here is worth considering; though my pork schnitzel was dry, the burgers are first class. Breakfast too was very tasty. Very central location.

Everything from the room, the staff to the food was brilliant. It was exactly what we were looking for for a family break. In a great location. We will definitely be coming back. Ps. Our son is now addicted to the cookie dough and ice cream from your restaurant!

Just returned from a couple of days away in Stamford for our Silver Wedding Anniversary. We stayed at the wonderful Bull and Swan. The hotel is lovely made extra special by the most friendly welcoming team. Everyone was wonderful, massive thanks to Jack who looked after us so well, going the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed…even when I was being slightly precious about toiletries.. The lady this morning, served our breakfast with a friendly smile….brilliant. The managers and everyone simply top class. We will absolutely return.. Thanks Team Bull and Swan..hospitality at its best.

Cosy place to stay. Every room has a different name and interior. Even at the street side, there is not too much noise from the traffic. Beds are comy with enough pillows. Lovely pub with outdoor heated seating area. Breakfast is well prepared and abundant. Personnel is friendly.
