The location of old swan is excellent, you can hear the birds chirping in the room in the early morning. Open the window and you can see the ancient streets and thatched houses.
Strolling along the small streets, you will feel the taste of the British countryside.
The atmosphere is also very good when you arrive in the evening, and you can have a drink if you have time.
The stairs have a special sense of age, and the walls on the second floor are a bit crooked, which also gives a sense of place.

We stayed for two nights as we were attending a wedding in the locality. We had a ground floor room that opened up on to the courtyard which was rather lovely. Can relate to other reviews re the damp smell as entering the building but the room itself was fine. It was comfortable and equipped with everything would you need - iron, ironing board, tea, coffee, water, hairdryer etc. The only thing I would say is that the bathroom needed updating - we did have a problem with the flush on the toilet, but we cannot fault the response from the hotel. They were very proactive and turned a possible negative outcome to a positive one. We did have lunch at the pub and can recommend the sharing ploughman's. The hotel is a listed building and parts of it orginated from the 17th Century, so is full of old beams and wonky floors. It is however in a lovely location. We had breakfast across the road at the Minster Mill.

On arrival shown to room around shabby back passage into very dark and smelly room - seems the drains smell coming up through shower or toilet or possible damp. Went to the Resturant and the food was very basic and waitress rude and arrogant. Checked out early and refunded for next night as Birthday weekend ruined. Not very special.

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.

Churchill room at the Old Swan Inn. 1 night Stay. Cons: - The mattress has diverts in it as it was so used (couldn’t move easily, from the dips in the mattress- needs replacing or flipping asap). - The pillows only ‘felt’ like they had a handful of stuffing in them (had to use the decorative pillows to help prop our heads up). - Wall paper was coming away from the walls - WIFI didn’t work for our phones in the evening. Randomly started working from 7am onwards on the day we were leaving. Pros: - Kind staff - Lovely character building - Lovely location - Bathroom was lovely and clean - Somewhat quiet. 2 planes flew low around midnight and 7am (obviously the hotel can’t control that). RAF base nearby - Brize Norton flight path. Was the room worth £185 for room only? - hell no. Not even close. Would we stay there again? Honestly? No. But nice location

Wonderful place, excellent rooms, comfy bed, friendly staff and obviously a great chef as the food was top quality, produce and delivery. Couldn’t fault it.
