I had great expectations of The White Swan but, after a three day break, I felt it had completely lost its charm of my visit twenty years previously with my late wife on honeymoon. Perhaps it was a mistake to return and perhaps time does persuade the memory that the old days were great but no, basic standards were poor.... more

We booked this lovely Tudor coaching inn (with free parking) on the main street of this pretty village to be near a wedding venue. Reception area is cramped and there are many stairs so it would not be suitable for those with limited mobility. There are quaint rooms with beams above this pub and restaurant. Tea making equipment and hairdryer... more

The hotel rooms were dated our room over looked the dustbin area. The rooms are small and cramped. The food was tasteless and when oredered took along tome to come, Booked the Hotel via an Internet site and was quoted a price . But when came to check out the price had increased by £70 no refund offered better hotels... more

quite a mixed bunch of reviews on this site, but in fairness the worst ones seem to be more historic. Our stay was largely fine. Room was pretty quiet, clean, with a good comfortable bed. Breakfasts were copious (very good choice of fresh fruit), and the buffet hot food meant you could have as much as you wanted. Most of... more

Having read conflicting reviews on the Internet, we did not know quite what to expect, except that the WS is an historic, aged hotel in the centre of Stratford, a town I knew well as a youngster. It is not the kind of accommodation we would normally stop at but we needed two nights in town and the deal on... more

i stayed here accidentally in July when there was a mix up with my B&B. A friend had a room and I shared with her. The building is gorgeous, the lounges and restaurant cosy and easy to lose yourself in. The hotel goes a lot further back than the historic facade - if you are booking in and want a... more

On our first visit to Stratford Upon Avon in 37 years we booked a two day stay at The White Swan Hotel and were very pleased with our choice. The hotel is full of character, spotlessly clean and staff very friendly. Having read negative reviews on the decor of the bedrooms we were pleasantly surprised by the high standard of... more

Stayed here for one night in June 2007. I thought the hotel was great value for money, and it was wonderful to stay in a building with so much history to it (it was built in 1450 and there is a fantastic mural in the bar dating from 1550). Our room was lovely with lots of charm, it was large,... more

Bear in mind this is an old hotel in a heavily used tourist town, so it is unlikley to be trendy and sparkling. Besides, you get what you pay for, and The White Swan ranks perfectly well against some horrendous experiences I have had in similar situations. Yes, its a little worse for wear in places, and you wont find... more
