It’s an old building. But so much character. The owner is great the breakfast is one of the best I’ve had in a hotel. Fresh hot which is usually not the case in a lot of hotels but the swan is hot fresh and excellent.

Full of friendly English charm

9.0

Great location in centre of Harleston with shops and eateries close by. The Swan is a characterful, traditional English hotel dating from the 1500s and will be loved by people who appreciate it for that. I felt welcomed throughout my two day stay by the proprietor and staff who were warm, friendly and helpful. My room was clean and bed so comfortable I slept very well. A live band played in the beer garden on the Sunday afternoon adding to a great atmosphere in the sunshine.

There was nothing to dislike. While some have said it needs updating, any refurbishing would need to be done carefully to maintain the character and charm of the hotel.

Great breakfast and friendly host. Quirkiness of the old building.

Service was fantastic, just needs a little updating internally.

Comfy stay in charming old pub

7.0

I stayed here for a friend's wedding so didn't visit the local area. It was a beautiful old building with lots of charm. Room was a little tired but clean and the bed was comfy. Staff were really helpful and friendly, and price included breakfast - full English, which was delicious. It was a perfect for what I needed.

The sat nav takes you to the front of the hotel and it's a one-way system so it took me quite some time and asking locals for directions to make it to the car park. I noticed that the car park sat nav postcode was on the greeting board, but would have been helpful to have this when I booked. Big car park with plenty of space once you find it!
