Reviews and Ratings
My stay at The Swan Hotel was delightful. The rooms were beautifully decorated, still maintaining their period charm. My room at the front had a picturesque view of the church and windmill, and the lovely fresh, clean white sheets added to the comfort. The service was top-notch, with staff who were lovely, friendly, and incredibly helpful. The location was excellent, perfect for exploring the charming town of Thaxted and its surroundings. The dining experience left a bit to be desired, but the overall value for money was good.
The Swan Hotel offers a comfy stay with charmingly furnished rooms in subtle heritage colors. The friendly service goes above and beyond to accommodate guests. While the location is central, some cleanliness issues and early closures of facilities affect the overall experience.
The hotel offers lovely rooms, very comfortable and nicely furnished. However, cleanliness could be improved in some areas. The service provided was friendly and welcoming. The location provides stunning views but was a bit noisy due to planes. Dining was good overall but could be better managed. Facilities are acceptable.
