I booked this hotel due to it's proximity to the nearby Civic Hall, where I was attending a 3 day showcase. The hotel was fully booked due to this, however there was an obvious shortage of staff over all 3 days. The 2 hour wait to eat on our first night ensured we didnt eat there for the rest of... more

There are an awful lot of hotels in Stratford but I wouldn't look any further than the White Swan. It is located right in the shopping area yet has its own car park. It is a very attractive period hotel and is in immaculate condition both inside and out. Pebble hotels have ensured the inside ambiance matches the exterior. It... more

There are too many problems to list. i would be here all night but lets just say it started when we checked into my room and the bed was unmade and grungy, towel on floor, glass of wine on side table, as if someone had had a little nap just before we arrived. weird. a catalogue of errors ensued. i... more

After a day of travelling around the English country side, my wife and I arrived at Stratford upon Avon, and proceeded to look for a room for the evening. The only hotel that had availability was the White Swan. This was the type of hotel we were looking for, historical building, good location. However, parking was offsite and we had... more

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

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
