Weekend break
We were in a 'cosy' room at the far end of the hotel which meant it was generally quiet. Disappointed that there was no carpark or vouchers for the local parking so a 2 night stay had an additional charge for carpark that we weren't expecting. There was no information about this when we booked.
Breakfast was excellent and cooked to order.

This historic olde world hotel was full of character and history, including authentic wall paintings in the restaurant
Our visit was enhanced by the wonderful welcome by all of the White Swan staff.

Good stay
We had a good stay at The White Swan. The standard room which we booked was smaller than I expected but I checked with the receptionist as I thought they may have given us a 'cosy' room by mistake; she confirmed it was a standard. It was closed to everything we needed. Breakfast was good. We went out for dinner so can't comment on that.

Good and bad
Location was perfect for shopping and restaurants. Our room was OK, bed was comfortable. We were given a handicap room next to the elevator, which we did not request or need. The bathroom was large but when taking a shower water was everywhere in the bathroom. The voice in the elevator could be heard in our room every time some one used it and overall the room was small and very dark, even with lights turned on. I did appreciate the history of the building and the breakfast was delicious.
