The Bull and Swan

We went as two families meeting up for fun stay . We were really looking forward to meet up . The hotel is beautiful. It’s old and filled with history. It’s quirky and unique. We had lovely large room for 3 of us . My husband, my 13 year old daughter and myself. As did our friends . The rooms are close to main road so as expected there was noise . As list building I knew they could not do anything to change this. The furnishings in bedroom, bathroom and whole hotel was outstanding . The staff were very helpful and friendly . The only problem was the beds . We had booked family room and was expecting bed for my 13 yr old . There was a camp bed at end of large double bed . I can only describe it as more of a sun lounger with very thin cover to lay on made up . My 13 year old had very little sleep as it was very uncomfortable. As adults it was not stable or strong enough for one of us to safely sleep on . My daughter fell out of it . Because she was unable to sleep had impact on us all. I would advise in future family rooms should have bed in them as stated .This was not a bed by any stretch or imagination . Could easily be resolved by a simple mattress on wheels under the large bed could be pull out for use and would be safer and more comfortable. We would return but as a couple . We loved the ambiance and friendliness. Such a shame re beds in family rooms .

Full of character Lovely pub/hotel with lots of old world charm. Clean and comfortable in a great location. Stayed for Sunday lunch which was excellent. Bedroom was spacious and had everything you could need. My only very slight negative was the traffic noise, as our room was at the front.

Excellent service and lovely staff who were very attentive. The room we had was large and extremely comfortable including a lovely mattress. The food served (evening meal and breakfast) was delicious and well prepared. We would definitely stay there again.

Had a lovely stay here and would recommend. It’s a very old building and as quirky and uneven as any old building is. The rooms are an amazing size, warm and comfy. The breakfast is fab! A basket of pastries, fruit and yogurt and a menu of hot food. Highly recommend the full bull and the avocado on toast.

Pleasant stay Clean & comfortable room above the pub. Very comfy bed and good bath/shower. Bathroom and loo were outside of our room behind a curtain, which was fine for us, though did feel like anyone could potentially go in as there was direct access from the street up some stairs (unlikely, of course, but felt a bit strange!) Old & atmospheric, but felt could have done with a few touch ups. Thought it was a bit expensive for the money, though appreciate Stamford is pricey. Food in the pub was lovely, and friendly staff.

Great place Great place, lovely staff
