Swan Hotel

Great spot along the Cotswold...

Liked: This was a great stopping point for stages 3 and 4 of our reverse walk on the Cotswold Way. It was very clean, our room was great, we had a bath which was good for aching joints and the hospitality was fantastic - staff are very warm and friendly. The room also had all the things we might have needed, including a fan, which was very useful. The TV had all the channels for our evening watching.They also had a restaurant open on a monday evening, which is pretty tough to find - not a lot of choice of fine dining!We also chose this location as the bus services allowed us to take our car to the last part of each walk and then catch a bus to the start point. If anyone wants to do the same, the C6 to Charfield and then the Y* to Hawkesbury Upton on day 2 and the Stagecoach 620 service from Dunkirk to Old Sodbury Dog took us almost to where we needed to be. Perfect! WE will be back for stages 5 and 6 as I think the buses to the next stops are good from, Wotton under Edge.
Disliked: Very little. The bar is a little faded and the evening meal was good basic pub food - the is a local pub, after all.There was a continental breakfast included, which was fine for us, and it was a reasonable selection including fresh fruit. But the pastries in packets weren't nice. The pain au chocolate was inedible.

Disliked: N/a

Passable

Disliked: Not worth the money at all. Walking the Cotswolds Way, I stayed in a lot of accommodations, all of them were cheaper and had more to offer. Wouldn't recommend for such an absurd price.

Adequate but clean.

Liked: Continental breakfast, limited selection, fresh pastries would have been much nicer
Disliked: Rooms are stiflingly hot, hotel beds cheap and not the most comfortable. Shower was either tepid or burn.
