The Swan Inn

Checked into hotel and was not told why where was ear plugs in the room. Untill every 15 minutes you can hear the church bells. This went on all night. Not their fault but should warn customers that you won’t sleep at all.

I stayed here overnight while on a trip for work. The rooms are very comfortable, set off the side of the pub in a converted barn. They are very modern, the bathroom was clean and had a very nice shower. The room had all the usual facilities you'd expect to see. There was a hair dryer, but no iron. Tea, coffee, kettle and biscuits were offered next to the bed which was was comfortable although what the pub does not tell you, is that there is a church across the way which rings it's bells every hour, on the hour and once every 15 minutes! I did wonder why the supplied ear plugs in the bathroom... I don't sleep much when away with work anyway, but it did impact whatever little sleep I did manage to get. It's fine for one night, but any more would be uncomfortable due to the church bells I'd imagine! The breakfast was tasty, I had the full English vegetarian option, but cereals were offered beforehand and the breakfast came with toast, coffee and juice. Sadly the dinner options at the pub did not offer much for vegetarians which is disappointing and I didn't manage to eat anything except a stick toffee pudding and custard - probably why I ate so much at breakfast the next day! Overall the bed was comfy and the breakfast was good but the church bells do affect the rating I'd give The Swan Inn. I didn't drive for this trip, but the parking is vast and free which is always a bonus and right outside the rooms.
