Beautiful setting, room was nice and just basic amenities considering it was £300+ for the night there was no added extras. Nothing particularly stand out for this hotel. Breakfast was very slow and food ok. No phone signal, and wifi very poor.

Great place to stay, good food, would definitely stay again.

Bedroom not well ventilated as only a small window in bedroom which could only be opened slightly. Everywhere looked a bit tired and in need of refurbishment. WiFi took long time to connect. Poor reception on TV in room. Not sure how this hotel has a 5 star rating.

Let’s start with the positive, beautiful location and convenience for exploring and love the history of the buildings. That history comes with downsides, rooms are very small, drains always blocked and the towel rail was burning hot the whole time. Our room was next to the kitchen so always noisy. The service was inconsistent (mostly bad) and the food was average to poor (called it a risotto but came out looking like week old sushi rice). Much potential but needs some TLC, staff training and leadership.

Good venue for dog owners. Adjacent fields and walks . Bedrooms for dog owners a little tucked away . Gorgeous food but pricey . Breakfast good but let down by tepid coffee and cheap bread for toast . Overall very comfortable.

Excellent location in charming countryside and just a short drive to Witney and Burford. Staff were helpful and welcoming. Historic property with traditional pub feel, a log fire, cosy armchairs and nice gardens. Food in the pub was standard pub fare, fairly average and expensive but you are paying for the location. We had a lovely stay here.

Nice area, very cozy and welcoming. The surroundings are really cute. Prepare to come with boots because the walks can be very muddy.

4/10

A disappointing stay overall. Here’s why: We had two room, one for me one for my mother. 1. There’s not enough staff, we had to wait for someone to assist us every time we went to reception. There was always a wait at the bar because there was only ever one person serving. 2. On the evening of check in, my mother was asked to change rooms the next day since a mistake was made in their system. 3. If you’re thinking of doing some work while there, forget it. The WiFi will not connect. I waited overnight until it finally work, the staff just shrug and say there’s nothing they can do. 4. The restaurant menu is disappointing. Fish and chips and burgers and pasta. Nothing special and not even reasonable prices. The staff are young and untrained, they leave cutlery on the table that you won’t use. 5. The gents toilet was dirty. The toilet was not cleaned whilst I was there. See photo. Toilet brush was filthy. 6. The garden furniture with old and rickety. A large garden umbrella blew over one afternoon and nearly hit a guest. 7. Room change late, came back from a day out at around 4.30 and room had not yet been made up. Overall, it feels like they are running the place on a limited budget and cutting corners. It’s not really a professionally run hotel, disappointing. Could be so much better.

One night stay in a superior room with king size bed. Comfortable room with heating on full so turned down radiators. Kettle and Coffee machine but no milk so fetched some. Nice bar area and large dining hall. Prebooked dinner at Mill House which is sister hotel and across the road and had breakfast there as no chef turned in.

Lovely stay in a beautiful countryside location. The hotel room was well equipped, the venue itself has lots of charm and character and the staff were very friendly. Food was amazing!

Recently stayed at the Old Swan for our wedding anniversary and it was a really nice hotel and restaurant. Lovely little gem in the middle of the countryside, a building with a lot of character. The room was nice and the bed was comfortable. The shower was good, although would be no good if you were very tall! The games room in the pub was great, we spent our afternoon playing shuffleboard and a Cotswolds version of monopoly. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel, both of which were very nice. The staff were attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Beautiful place and the food was amazing! Just need to put a mirror, plug and chair in the same area in the room and it would be perfect (minor thing in a room that was otherwise lovely).

Beautiful quintessential Cotswolds Inn. Service was excellent, rooms were great, quality of food was excellent. Highly recommended.

4/10

After visiting the pub before checking in, things looked promising, it was very lovely and cosy. We checked in and were shown to our 2 rooms, through the side entrance. The entry way was dark tired and messy. The rooms at first glance looked lovely when first shown them, however once we had settled in the rooms were tired, dark and dirty. Lots of stains on the walls, floors and soft furnishings. The bathroom of the Harold was boiling, what was first thought to be underfloor heating was instead confirmed as the hot pipes, it was unbearable and heated the room up too. The Simpson room was dusty and no slippers were supplied but some old used ones were found in the dressing table drawer. The advert said there was air conditioning in both rooms, there was not. The Harold room was by a gate which was right next to a gate which was being used constantly. Both rooms were underneath family’s and a child could be heard running around. Other guests were not considerate of others in their rooms and so we were awake from around 6am. A poor hotel and a poor stay! Do not recommend.

Brilliant stay, check in was quick and smooth. Show to our rooms which were clean and spacious with large king bed. Staff were excellent during the stay and even did us a meal which wasn't on the recently updated menu. Breakfast freshly cooked and again adapted the choice for my colleague.

Okay! However short staffed. Not an over welming experience. Would have expected a much better staff friendlier atmosphere for the price of the room! Food just okay! Not worth the money to stay there!!

We really enjoyed staying at The Old Swan. Old building with lots of character. Could not fault service or cleanliness. A little pricey, but worth it. Would definitely recommend and we would not hesitate to book again.
