Nice hotel and friendly staff. They serve breakfast, dinner, and lunch. If you want breakfast I would recommend paying for it when you make your reservation as this will be less expensive.

The room is clean and simple, the location is easy to find, close to the main road. There is also parking space. The breakfast is good, some of the buffets also have staple foods to choose from. The hotel staff are also very friendly.

Superior Double - I think not ! This was what hubby had booked for our one night stay at The Swan Hotel. I would love the opinion of the management team as to why they think Room 11 deserves the title Superior Double ? Yes, it has a large double (if not more) bed taking up a lot of the space in the small room. It has curtains with frayed and perished linings, damaged lamp shades, windows with very poor paint work, ingrained dust lying at the bottom of the door frames, bath towels that were a light shade of grey !!! Thanks to the very helpful Sarah, we were moved to “one of the best room’s” Granted on first inspection it was so much bigger & brighter, a great shower room everything seemed 10/10. However, on closer inspection two lamps with bulbs that did not work, with cobwebs hanging down & disappointed to find even more frayed & perished curtain linings !! These are not expensive things to put right but think again how easy it is to let people down with false & misleading titles.

Visited the Swan for a drink and light bite with my family at lunchtime. The Swan is comfortable and food was great but what was really excellent were the staff. Attentive and welcoming, really making us feel valued. I would highly recommend a visit.

What a lovely hotel. The Swan at Hay has an older world charm enhanced by naturally friendly and helpful staff. Spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean and thoroughly relaxing. Many thanks.

This is a great hotel. The room we had was great for what we needed. The breakfast and evening meal were well presented and very tasty. The bar area seemed quite and may need an update, but the beer and staff here were excellent. I know the area is small, but something needs to be done about the parking, we got in eventually but having to pay for parking else where was not a great start, it should at least should be mentioned when booking.

Sadly expecting a better stay for the high tariff. Small room in need of TLC, English breakfast overpriced for size of portion. Best feature, the morning staff, lovely ladies.

There's nothing wrong with this hotel it's okay. Nice garden, food nice enough rooms clean, staff nice! But is that enough for £170.00 a night room only? I don't think so! Disappointing to say the least.
