Loved the bar and restaurant area - the staff were friendly and helpful the downstairs bar and restaurant is really modern - was very busy being valentines when we went so most tables reserved understandably
The receptions in the middle of a busy bar - and the staff are trying run the restaurant and bar as well as reception- obviously difficult in busy times - The steps and stairs - in hindsight we should of requested a ground floor room, the rooms were wonky - tv wasn’t straight on the wall - dated furniture and I’m not a fan of the coffee machine, no instructions of how to use it either - no chair in room so you have to sit on the bed - albeit if one of wants to watch tv and other wants to snooze gets annoying- the room was clean overall

The value for money was exceptionally good! The room was absolutely stunning with a very comfortable bed. Chocolates, a variety of hot drinks and milk available in the room. The food in the restaurant was lovely and breakfast was one of the very best I’ve had!! Overall it was excellent! I will definitely be going back!
The interior was stunning throughout! Very stylish! It felt cosy but spacious.

3.0 / 10.0
The staff were friendly, the room was clean, very traditional room which was lovely
When we arrived there was an awful smell possibly from the drains when we flushed the toilet and used the basin.
This smell lingered our whole stay.
On the second night the beds were not made up from the previous night and there was no heating put on in our room the whole night - it was absolutely freezing all night.
The breakfasts were very slow and we were waiting an awfully long time for our food (around an hour).
We couldnt get into the hotel on the second night around 8pm, as they had no reception and the doors into the front of the hotel had been locked, fortunately after wandering around the outside of the hotel we managed to push open a side door obviously used for the staff (near the bar area) and woke the night watch man who opened the doors for my wife, it was near freezing outside. There really should have been some notification as to what to do if the doors of the hotel get locked. Would not stay again.

Room was tastefully decorated and comfortable. Shower room was clean and particularly liked the toiletries supplied.
There were plenty of places to eat locally, so the location was good and parking was free.
Bedding used was too small for the bed, so didn't stay on properly. No milk was supplied in the room for the first morning and there was a terrible noise right through the Saturday night, so much so that I hardly got any sleep despite using the ear plugs that were provided in the room.

Been here before, it’s a gem of a boutique hotel in the centre of Congleton market town. Staff, facilities, comfort and quality of the food made us come back and we’ll be back again soon!
There was a funny smell when we went in the room but possibly the bath in the main bedroom hadn’t been used for a while so we filled it and gave a good flush of water and the smell seemed to go away, the staff provided us with an air freshener but we only used it prior to running the bath and didn’t red it again.

What a beautiful place! I was so impressed from the moment I entered. The decor is very classy and I enjoyed my drink in the lounge area whilst waiting for my room key. The room itself was lovely and the perfect size for me. The facilities were great and I had a perfect night's sleep. Breakfast in the morning was plentiful and tasty, I went for the full English and enjoyed a fresh warm croissant afterwards. The staff I encountered were all pleasant and ready to assist you. I would definitely return if I'm in the area again.
Nothing really. The carpark at the back is very tiny and was full when I arrived. However, I located a pay and display a minute down the road which was fine.

The room was exceptional. It had everything I wanted. Looked luxurious. Was very clean. I especially liked the coffee machine, the fact that it had a robe and slippers and even ear plugs. As mine was an unplanned stop, all of these did help a lot.
I had a warm breakfast with a decent range of choices.
Despite the fact that the room I stayed in was in a separate building to the restaurant, it was hard getting a good night sleep. Unfortunately the window is far from being soundproof and as I got there on a Saturday night, I could hear all the people who went out of the restaurant for a smoke, or the staff that entered the storage space that was under my room.
Leaving aside the noise issue, I still think the room was worth the money.

A fabulous spot in Congleton. Lovely recently refurbished hotel. Comfortable and peaceful bedrooms. Pleasant bar area. Lovely staff. Definitely recommend the delicious breakfast with great service. Parking at the rear - don't forget to check in your vehicle on the touch screen at the bar.
It's worth a tour round the town - some lovely old buildings and the Garden of Remembrance is special Nearby is Brereton Heath Local Nature Reserve for a lovely walk around the lake. Jodrell Bank is a few miles away and was awesome!
Nothing. We were very happy with our stay at the Lion and Swan.

The room was very clean
Arrived through doors car park side. Make staff member told us to walk to other side of building up the steps. We had heavy bags and he offered no assistance at all. Checked. Offered help with bags this time. Told to leave them at check-in desk and they would follow us up. 20 minutes later no sign of bags. Steep stairs to room, no lift. Doors to bedroom corridors banging all day and night as closers not set properly. Requested quiet room, car noise all night. No food offering in the evening (approx 9pm). Breakfast was dreadful. Overcooked poached eggs. Food had obviously been sat on hot plate as everything was dry and overcooked. Toast cold. Buffet was a poor offering. Only fresh fruit was oranges. Won't be returning

Breakfast was of a good quality but more variation on the buffet would be good. The location seemed a bit small for the number of guests staying at the hotel.
It wasn't obvious where the reception desk was located unless it was manned.

Very clean, happy with the facilities - particularly liked the nice touch of a small glass bottle of milk in the fridge! Very good location and worked out very well for attending a function at the cricket club!
The room was a little on the small side

Breakfast was arguably the best we have experienced. Portions were spot on and compliments to your chef(s) cooked to a very high standard. Table service complimented the occasion well..
Very trivial comment. Refill coffee was not as good as the initial one. But hey, with such a breakfast, I am being very picky!!
