The Swan Hotel

Beautiful location but noisy until the bar closed. Clean room but basic. There's not much on the menu for people requiring specific diets.

This hotel is a very old building with lots of history but with that means there are some quirks and you should not stay here if you you dislike years of use shown in slightly uneven floors, steps, windows. But, if like us you find these quirks charming then this is a wonderful place to stay. We stayed in Room 2 which is situated facing the river with three windows to view this from - one in the bathroom if you like a view whilst on the throne!! The rooms are not air-conditioned but a fan was located in the room when we arrived and once the windows had been opened and the fan pointing out of one window to draw push the hot air out, the room was cool in minutes! In the morning though, the room was very warm as the sun shone through all 3 windows. The shower is lovely but pressure is lacking. There is almost limited surfaces to put items on, even the kettle and drinks facilities were tiny - my personal choice would be to remove the wardrobe and provide a few hooks on the wall and put a small table and 2 chairs in the room but what works for us might not work for all and the room was workable for us for 1 night. The bed and pillows were VERY comfortable - i slept the best I have in several weeks! Overall, i enjoyed my stay here and woukd stay here for 1 night again in the future but for a longer duration I would most likely look for somewhere with the additional surface space. The restaurant here was also lovely and sitting by the river enjoying a drink was wonderful.

Bed wasn’t very comfortable as it was 2 single mattresses pushed together so there was a hard lump in the middle they also kept moving apart. No parking at all 1 night I had to park on the other side of town. Take this into account if you are expecting parking close by, you may get lucky but most of the time you won’t.

Lovely spot on the river - Upton is a really nice little town, with lots of pubs and places to eat. Comfy, clean room. Caveats: parking was easy but very limited (on no-through road), so may get tricky when town is busier. Radiator in bathroom slightly hotter than the sun - a good thing but be careful.

Great location ,river views excellent food , Only offer cooked breakfast which was excellent but no fruit or cereals ,parking can be tricky ,overall very good would stay again

Nice little hotel right at the river front! Easy check-in/out, the room was small but spotless clean. Very quiet setting at a cul-de sac road. No noises during night, pub downstairs doesn't bother at all. Only parking is scarce, but available on the nearby roads. Would go back anytime!

Parking is non existent and there is no parking nearby rooms are very small and the whole place is dated and needs a refurb.

Wonderful place to stay. Food, facilities and staff were excellent. A great little find. Will definitely stay here again

Lovely location great view of the river from our room. Room was lovely and clean. Hand wash and shower gel was provided and smelt lovely, good to see no single use little bottles. We arrived a little early but the room was ready so we were able to check in. We had dinner in the hotel and it was perfectly acceptable for pub grub. Outside seating area was really nice for an afternoon drink and lunch. Tasty breakfast, had the full English and there was plenty of it and freshly cooked.

No heating overnight and no apology when we checked out

Beautiful location but noisy until the bar closed. Clean room but basic. There's not much on the menu for people requiring specific diets.

For a 400 year old hotel the room was very well fitted out and comfortable with the bonus of sofa and two armchairs. Quiet despite town centre riverside location. Staff very helpful. Excellent evening meal of steak and chips and not overpriced. Good spot for exploring this area

Clean bright rooms, lovely bathroom, comfortable bed.

The manager was ace and was very obliging, thank you. The young staff were helful but could do with a bit more genuine person reactions.... or become good actors. The room was clean, bright and very comfotable with lovely views.

Staff that we encountered seemed to give different information about breakfast. On enquiring about format we were told ‘ 9 ish’ no set price as we could select from menu, however on taking breakfast full English was only option. It was a good breakfast but had to chase staff for a cup, more tea/coffee, only gave 2 cubes of sugar ?? If you wanted an early start 9/9.30 is too late . Lovely room in a lovely location but again some small niggles. Had to provide our own shampoo/ shower gel, security door wasn’t secure (always open).

Although the bed were clean, the carpets and decor could do with a clean

Room 2 Due to age of hotel and location of windows, unable to fit a shower over bath, hand held shower head with no shower curtain so impossible to stop water going over the floor.

Lovely stay at the swan. A very comfortable room at a lovely spot by the side of the river.

Room was comfortable.

Stayed in room 1. Very comfortable and spacious. Lovely view of river

Nice place in a nice town. The food was great. Offering breakfast only between 8:30 and 9:00 is not suitable for business travellers and like others
