Swan Hotel

All was great except for the room. The Staff were really lovely and dinner and breakfast were great. The car parking was fine and convenient to the rear entrance. The room was Room 12, right at the top, on the 3rd or 4th Floor. It was not the room we saw when booking on line at Hotels.com as that room had 3 beds in it. The single beds were very small, there was no chair and only 2 hangers, no wardrobe. The main thing however was the smell !!! We eventually found out it was coming from the drain in the shower, so even with the velux window in the bedroom open it was overpowering.

There were some positives to our stay. Staff were helpful and friendly, room was very basic but clean, the bathroom seemed to be new and shower was nice and hot and powerful. The hotel was very well placed for visiting Bletchley Park which we did and would highly recommend. We walked and it took about 25 minutes. There were unfortunately also some negatives - yes the hotel is on a busy main road on a roundabout and the traffic noise is very loud and constant. The rooms are located above the bar - we were on the first floor and therefore the music was very loud through the floor right up until closing time making it impossible to sleep. Our room also stank of sewage which we did report - we ended up having to buy an air freshener and use it constantly as the smell got worse toward the end of the day. I think we were maybe just a little unlucky - we are not used to a lot of noise at night and generally go to bed quite early. Therefore, this hotel just didn’t work for us as we struggled to get any sleep both nights we were there.

Location for Bletchley Park superb. Plenty of Parking. Room comfy, clean, bathroom facilities look almost new. This is a popular local pub with great rooms, and open genuinely all day. Staff were wonderful and bar prices good. (£4.50 a pint) Will visit again if in the area. Beds (single only) were extremely comfortable Disappointments: No Friday evening meals. No alternative at all to dairy, so my non meat, but fish eating wife was limited to toast for breakfast.

Lovely clean and comfortable room, and bathroom was clean too. Staff were polite, and the breakfast was nice. Double glazed windows, so the traffic noise was minimal. Curtains were dark, so allowed for minimal light in the morning.

Lovely pub, lovely people, rooms were clean and comfy beds, but unfortunately the traffic is super loud, cars beeping on the round about under our window every 2 minutes in the morning, and for some reason the bathroom started really stinking of sewers through the night and was pretty unbearable in the morning! I didn’t mention it to any staff as I wasn’t feeling great in the morning so I hope they read this quickly so they can investigate the problem! Many thanks for your hospitality ☺️
