Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently enjoy the Long Melford Swan's excellent food, including the popular tapas deal with cheese balls, tempura prawns, and squid, complemented by a Malbec. The hotel benefits from a convenient location and a nice outdoor area, with some rooms featuring quirky touches like a steel bathtub. While some guests have noted that breakfast requires pre-ordering and incurs an extra charge, many appreciate the spacious rooms and the convenience of parking spaces directly outside the hotel and a rear courtyard, as well as the fantastic water pressure in the showers.

charming stay

fine decor great comfort fantastic water pressure
we stayed in the one-bedroom suite. the decor was quite fine and the comfort was certainly great. i liked the steel bathtub in the bedroom (it was a fun, quirky feature!). i found the shower to have fantastic water pressure and multiple functions. the rear courtyard offered a convenient space and the parking spaces located directly outside the hotel made access easy.
the website didn't mention anything about breakfast, and upon arrival, i learned it cost an extra £12.50 per person and required pre-ordering (a bit of a surprise!).

i was disappointed that my room was not cleaned on the second day. the website said daily housekeeping was included, but the manager said cleaning was only every two days, and i couldn't find that information on the website (maybe i missed it?). the full english breakfast wasn't great either, i didn't eat much of it.
