The Swan Hotel, East Ilsley

This pub ticked all the boxes for me; good, home cooked and fairly priced food, exceptional well kept beers, roaring log fire, en suite bedrooms full of character, warm and plenty of piping hot water. The tv area was seperate and has sky sports to satisfy my love for football, rugby and cricket. Enjoyed the Tribute and Morlands. There was even a selection of books to browse while I waited for my dinner, the angus sirloin was superb. Sunday lunchtime was the place was heaving and dedicated to the magnificent roast I tried both the mouthwatering topside and leg of pork (crackling to die for). Next time I am in the area working, I will definitely stay there.
