Stayed one night as I'd over stretched it on the beer front.
Simple clean rooms with crisp bed linen. decent service and cheap price. What more could you ask for

Never really drink downstairs its a bit clinical and quiet, bar staff are all robots with their personality chip taken out

Big pub in a nice location. 2 real ales on including Abbot Ale. Food has a decent selection but can take a while to arrive. A pretty good pub. 8/10

Old buildings need constant repair and the Swan is no exception. Bar nice enough. Food very acceptable. Rooms of good standard though not exceptional. Staff all very helpful

On the hotel front, clean, comfortable and reasonably priced. Didn't try the bar due to an aversion to Greene King. The buffet breakfast has been done away with - they are now cooked to order and quality is greatly improved.

Quite right - it is a hotel so I'll dispense with that aspect first. Clean, comfortable rooms, polite attentive staff who could come from Mars for all I care. Reasonable prices. Always happy to stay at this or any other of the Old English franchise.
Pub bit. Not so good. Greene King ales are not the greatest in my opinion and there was not even a decent guest ale so I was stuck with Abbot. Menu is hearty with pretentions to gastro which the Greene King central kitchen can't really pull off. You won't starve but it won't rock your world either. There is fortunately a decent Italian place just up the road. Breakfast is a rather sad buffet affair with crusted scrambled eggs, undercooked bacon and 'Tiger Tank' sausages (skin virtually impenetrable!!) Definitely needs work on the catering side hence my low score.
Incidentally all credit to the lads at Central Tyres for getting the Rev out of the s*** late on a Saturday afternoon.
