Beautiful hotel

Wonderful hotel, such a beautiful old building. Food was delicious, we ate in the brasserie and had breakfast each morning in the gallery restaurant. The staff were spot on, very helpful and attentive. Lavenham itself is a very picturesque village, you feel you have been transported back to another era. Would definitely stay again.

A beautiful historic hotel

We have stayed at the Swan before and it is beautiful . This historic hotel is very well maintained and atmospheric. The staff are lovely and very friendly and the food in the restaurant is delicious and very well presented. Our room (no. 6) was spacious and very comfortable, although the bathroom was a bit challenging . We will definitely be back to Kavengam and the Swan .

We had a great weekend with family celebrating my husband’s 70th birthday. We stayed in the Constable suites which were lovely. We enjoyed using the spa, even the outside splash pool when it rained. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Lavenham is such a beautiful village to stay in.

10/10 Exceptional

Incredible building beautifully kept, loved the history. Great situation in lovely town, amazing old buildings and interesting little shops and galleries. The parking is a little snug but understandable. We waited a long time for bar food at 6.30pm on Saturday.

5 Stars for Comfort

The Swan hotel is the perfect little get away for that homey type of feeling. Everything was of the best quality and comfort across the board was clearly on top of their list. All staff were eager to help and very welcoming. Our room was their standard but felt more like a junior suite. The food was delicious. The spa was perfect. 5 stars from me across the board.
Jacqueline, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely couple of days

The Swan Hotel is a unique venue in a historic village which is like stepping back to Tudor times. Our large room had recently been refurbished and was lovely with a large super comfy bed. Personally I’d have preferred a walk in shower to one over the bath. Nice to have a safe in the room but positioning on the wardrobe floor wasn’t very practical.
Denise, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful Tudor building. Not friendly for those with much luggage but this is the nature of the building. Comfortable room. The dinner menu is gourmet but very expensive and not good value for money.
Paul, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely stay at The Swan

Had a great stay at the Swan. Friendly, helpful staff. Some really good food in hotel restaurant. First time using the small spa which was nice. Room a bit small, but this is a very, very old building so this has to be expected unless going for a higher grade room. Bathroom nice but bath a bit small for a soak, again probably constrained by the buildings size. Lovely area for a chilled, relaxed visit with a charming village and beautiful Church. Lots of charming tea houses and interesting pubs to walk to.
carl, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel rooms were fine - comfortable and clean. However, we didn’t like the mass of pigeon mess and dead pigeons on the roof areas which were visible from the upstairs corridor windows. I did write to the hotel about this issue before posting a review but had no response so have to conclude that they don’t care!
Angela, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Disappointing stay

The staff were execellent .The room very cosy for these price. The dinner in the dining room lacked atmosphere. My husband requested a rare as can be burger but was delivered dried and well over cooked . The downstairs lounge had moths flying around and we believe there must be a clothes moth infestation. The quality of the place has deteriorated since our last stay .
Robert, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Poorly thought out bathroom.

We stayed for 2 nights, whilst the room was very nice the bed was poorly made (quilt hanging out of the quilt cover). The bathroom extraction was almost non existent, it got extremely steamy after the shower was run. Also, I reported the fact that there is no shower cubicle, just a shower attachment over the bath with no shower curtain ! With even very careful handling this ultimately leads to getting the bathroom floor very wet. Finally, if you decide to take a bath instead, the toiletry containers are too high to reach without standing up to use them. Poorly thought out. Shame as the hotel and staff are great.
