Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Swan Inn, set in a beautiful Cotswold village, offers a cozy and quirky experience, especially appealing to those exploring the area. Guests often enjoy the lovely back garden with its BBQ and pizza oven, praising the pizzas in particular, such as the 'Hot Pig'. The individually styled rooms are generally comfortable, though some guests have noted that the free breakfast is a menu itemized for guests to choose from rather than an 'help yourself' arrangement.

i found the rooms to be of a good size with a large bed. tea and coffee making facilities were available. the outdoor area looked like a great place to relax in good weather. homemade pizzas were available at the pub.
the room was too hot, i noticed this. the dyson system needs improvement or a proper air conditioning system is needed. the electric sockets need relocation for easier access.
