The Swan Hotel, Staines

We stayed at the Swan and used it as a base for trip to the UK and Europe. Accommodation was a little expensive but very comfortable and it does include a wonderful breakfast. The staff here are so friendly and helpful that it became a home away from home for us. We ate here many many times and yes it might be a little dearer than most but the service and view certainly make up for it. The Australian staff and assistant manager were excellent and are a credit to this pub and the managers. The beer selection was also a treat. Would thoroughly recommended this pub to anyone.

Goliath's comment was a little puzzling - could he be just a whingeing pom.
