Decorated in warm, relaxing colours, the en suite rooms combine period features with modern facilities. Each includes a flat-screen plasma TV and facilities for making tea and coffee. The on site Weavers' House Spa has 6 treatment rooms, 2 relaxation suites, a sauna, steam room, spa boutique and an outdoor vitality pool and terrace. The Swan Hotel & Spa serves modern British cuisine in its Gallery Restaurant, made using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Prior reservation is recommended.

What people say

The whole experience - the setting of the hotel in a historical village, the old building itself sympathetically decorated and furnished, but particularly the attentiveness and polite friendliness of staff. It was a Pearl Wedding celebration and the staff made it really special - a great place to be pampered and relax. The food was excellent and the afternoon tea an experience in itself. We have been there many times, and the staff are always so welcoming, the food and service are great, it's near where we need to be in East Anglia, and we love it!!.

Polite staff, great location, the fact you could sit in peace and quite beside open fireplaces with a glass of wine and let the world go by.We left there totally de-sressed. The room and the food were excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food served was always very good .The hotel location, the hotel itself and restaurant all excellent. Location and atmosphere of an 'old world' hotel.The general ambience was excellent. The food was very good. the staff were very good. Character of the place. Atmosphere of the hotel. real log fires. Log fires. The Swan is an attractive Old Worlde style of hotel that looks inviting but looks can be deceptive. Nothing at all - congratulations!. All drinks were expensive. Lack of lifts, bathroom showers.Consider that more information should be given on the number of steps/stairs around the hotel. A lift, or alternative set of stairs, would have been helpful; but probably impractical given the age and design of the buildings. Breakfast service (not food) somewhat erratic - eg cooked food arriving whilst cereals still being eaten! Fellow guest sent his back.On one of the hottest nights of the year the room was very hot and the fan insufficient to make much of an impression upon it. Food quality excellent, but portions were small. Quite cold - no double glazing in very old windows. supplements for everything extra particularly menue. Private function in restaurant so evening meal was served in small, very cold, characterless room. Spoke about it at checkout but receptionist unhelpful and rude. Have since emailed manager but no response. I tried to put all my comments but there was not enough room to detail even the tiniest comment as to how we felt about our stay.
