Stayed for two nights,good value for money, friendly staff, would certainly recommend. An excellent location to explore the surrounding villages and National Trust sites. Some NT sites tend to be closed on Mondays

A great place for a couple of nights away! Warm welcome with friendly, professional efficient service. Great, well presented and cooked food (even with my gluten intolerance) served in a lovely environment of newly refurbished dining rooms and bar. A great attention to detail is provided by keen and well trained staff and the owners attention to detail regarding interior... More

I discovered Bibury about 10 years ago and instantly fell in love with the village, my stepson lives about an 40 minutes from there so when ever we are that way we always stop there for a walk about, it's probably my favourite village in England , so when it came to choosing a wedding location the Swan hotel seemed...

My husband,brother, sister in law, and I just had lunch at the Swan Hotel. I had quiche and my husband had a burger. Even though we ordered a minute apart,my brother and sister in law hadn't gotten their order 45 minutes after my husband and I were served. They ordered quiche and a double glouster (cheese) sandwich.Quite a few people... More

Lovely location but the service is very poor. Staff are disorganised and unattentive which is a real letdown for what should be a quality hotel. It looks the part but is more like a coach party venue. Wish we had stayed at the Bibury Court.

We just returned from a wonderful two night stay with dinner. I originally booked for one night but we loved the hotel so much we stayed an extra night! I only wish it could have been longer. The Swan is in a picturesque location facing a beautiful trout stream and has a lovely garden and courtyard. It is a 17th... More

We were re-visiting Bibury on the way home from a week away, touring the Peak District and working our way down to Stratford Upon Avon and the Cotswolds. We simply fancied a quick and unplanned Sunday Lunch. The Swan Hotel, in a most enviable setting, always looks inviting. We were early and were shown to a well positioned table in... More

We spent two nights at The Swan which was very relaxing and we found the staff friendly and very eager to please, a little formal at first but more relaxed after a short time. Some of the previous comments seem a little unfair as we found no evidence of anything wanting in the service offered. The food in the Brasserie... More
