The owner of this business need to decide if the swan is a pub with rooms , or a hotel and focus on delivering what woul

A great stay

We had a lovely stay and the owner was very accommodating to all our requests. Lovely room right in the centre of Long Melford. We also had a nice lunch.

Though we were aware at the time of booking, it would be great if they offered breakfast. This is something we really enjoy when we are away. I imagine it may not be worth it due to only having a few rooms and having to staff it.

Sorry but will not be using this hotel again

The location is great & having stayed there earlier, before the change of management, I knew the rooms were very nice & comfortable. I was given a very small room but they were able to offer me an upgrade, for an extra £20, to a room I had stayed in earlier. On the website there are only 2 room choices, which should be amended.

Sadly since my last stay there the standard has deteriorated, it is not as good as it was, which many locals had mentioned to me. I have friends that live in the village. I stayed 2 nights & was shocked to see my room was not cleaned on my 2nd day, even though on the website it clearly states DAILY HOUSEKEEPING. Checking with the manageress she informed me they clean only every 2 days & that was on the website ! There was no mention of breakfast on the website & on arrival I was informed it was an extra £12.50 per person & had to order it for the following morning. On the following morning the Full English Breakfast arrived but the quality was not the best. Neither my friend or I managed to eat much of it. Overall I was very disappointed, especially with the attitude of the management, very little sympathy was shown.

Great Hotel in a Great Location

Friendly and accommodating staff. Great Location, spacious rooms and a convenient rear courtyard. Parking spaces directly outside hotel. The room had the best shower I have used in a hotel ever in my life, both the water pressure and functions were fantastic.

Was not impressed with the Tapas menu food ordered. We have ate here before without issue / high praise, so just personal opinion vs the choice on this occasion.

Nice relaxing stay .expected more for £170

Excellent room .all staff were excellent

For price point needs a mini fridge .we were given the wrong room to start with .had to ask for the heating to be put on both nights.charged extra for cups of teas and coffee at breakfast.never had that happen before .expect more for £170 a night and breakfast was extra

Dissapointing

The rooms are better than average and clean. Staff where helpful.

The menu came with a list of what was off the menu, only choices left were from a deep fat fryer. When my scampi and chips arrived it was overcooked. There was no breakfast available (maybe my mistake) but it added to my feeling the Swan was a missed opportunity.

Lovely stay which exceeded expectations. The room had a wow factor...

Room decor was wonderful. Location in High Street of busy village. The breakfast which was paid for separately was delicious. Lost of salmon in the Eggs Benny

Lovely place to stay and would definitely come back.

The room was really clean and had everything you needed.Also I would recommend to eat in the pub as food was fab.

The only thing is they don’t do a breakfast menu but they did recommend a few tea rooms in the high street.

A great stay in a super-comfortable pub!

The pub is in a delightful historic building that's both located so conveniently in Long Melford and so well converted for comfortable modern living. The roll-top bath in the room made for a really relaxed and comfortable soak. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

All good!

Chaotic organisation of the hotel and very stressful.

The room and location were good

Hotel didn’t serve breakfast and were only told this via a note in the room despite being called a B&B. Earliest breakfast wasn’t until 9.00 and long walk away. Had to leave via fire exit when pub was shut and couldn’t get back in until pub opened. Not given any check in instructions when we arrived.

A lovely birthday treat .

Plenty of parking on the street outside. Our room was spacious with a super comfy bed and linen. Large towels and great shower. Nice touch of bottled still and sparkling water in the room with tea and coffee making facility. Lovely rear garden. Good breakfast. The staff were very attentive and helpful throughout our stay.

The Swan unfortunately cannot help it's location which is the same as every hotel and pub with rooms in Long Melford as the road is surprisingly extremely busy and fast at night. Maybe some double glazing might help but we like to have the windows open. On the website there was no mention of breakfast, on check in we were given a breakfast list to choose from if we wanted ,to be filled out by 8pm which was fine . I think this needs to be on the website as we were a bit put off by when booking and thought we would have to find a cafe nearby. Also think it should include tea and coffee as costing £12 although very nice and very large( 2 rounds of toast included) felt penny pinching. Also a tip ,the pastries are 3 large ones for one, so in hind sight could have been shared .
