“The Swan in Littleport is a modern hotel in a convenient location, though soundproofing and housekeeping could use some attention. I noted the property's unique approach to on-site activities, such as cooking classes, which complements its pet-friendly policy and diverse dining options. Its riverside location and outdoor seating area create an appealing atmosphere with much potential.”

My room had a good view of the river. I appreciated the convenient location near the water, rooms face the river. The staff was cute and helpful at check-in.

I found the lack of breakfast options inconvenient. I had to find an alternative for my morning meal.

the room had a lovely balcony overlooking the river. it was a nice touch.

The room was quite cold upon arrival, and it took a while for the electric heater to warm it up. even then, the bathroom floor stayed freezing. It was like a travelodge room but at a higher price. i also noticed some peeling paint inside and outside, which gave the place a slightly rundown feel.

the veranda had many cobwebs. the table and chairs needed cleaning before i could use them. the tv remote seemed to be missing.
