Lovely room, comfy and warm. Great bed. View from small terrace over the river. Staff kind and helpful. Great food in the restaurant. Hannah was cooking and her steak was excellent!

We arrived at 3.45 but there was no one at the property. It said book in from 3pm and we were unable to get access until 5pm. Had travelled a long way and it was cold and dark. Unable to get through on the phone to anyone. The lighting outside in the car park, leading to the rooms was inadequate… it was PIR lighting and it doesn’t come on soon enough. Was very dark, tricky when you’re a bit older…No breakfast served at the property…

The size of the room and of the shower. We really enjoyed the shower (can fit 2 people). The mattress was comfortable only bad thing about it was it was two mattresses attached to each other so you could feel it in the middle. The view of the river was really nice. Even if it’s close to a railway we couldn’t hear the trains. Bathrobes are really nice. Parking on site.

The kettle needs to be changed, I wanted to make a coffee but I couldn’t because of the limescale. Also the water in the sink of the bathroom had a really strong smell of hard water, needs to be filtered.

The view from the room was beautiful and the size of the room exceeded expectations

There were people from the pub walking around in front of our little balcony so had no privacy as there were no net curtains. Also people chatting and banging doors til very late at night, and someone in a boat moored in front of our room playing loud music at 0230 in the morning, had to close the window. No fault of the hotel though. This didn’t mar our stay and plan to book again when around the area.

We arrived after a long journey to a very friendly welcome. The accommodation was great, all new looking and very clean. We had a balcony looking over the river. We had a great meal in the pub. We went for a walk around Littleport which is full of interesting history. We will return and stay a bit longer, there's plenty to do and visit from this location.

Nothing really, lots of tickling buggies at night outside being next to the river. I'll bring some Citronella candles next time.

Lovely location and easy to get to. Easy parking. Staff were really friendly and food was good. Not long to wait for orders. Great view from a little balcony. Got room 101 which was right by the entrance to the building, but didn't hear much noise other than when guests returned back to their rooms and when they left in the morning. Bed was very comfortable.

No breakfast. I didn't realise that there was no breakfast served at this hotel. Would have booked elsewhere, if I'm honest. It's kind of an expectation to have something available for breakfast in my opinion. It is likely that this was missed when the room was booked, so may not be the hotels fault that I was not aware.

Great location near the Ouse and the room looked over the river via a balcony. Large patio area and the beers were fine. The service was excellent. A bit tired, but work being done and lot of potential.

Disappointed that there was no breakfast facility. I understand there is a shortage of breakfast chefs in the area. A table with a selection of cereals and fruit (possibly a toaster and bread and marmalade etc.) shouldn't be too difficult to arrange. The hotel appears to have been recently taken over and work is being done to improve it

Room good size, great having sofa too. Enjoyed looking out at the river, & table & chairs would def be used in the summer. Concerned about pos traffic noise nearby, but slept well, and not a problem at all. Coffee machine with capsules was appreciated. Had a roast lunch in the Brasserie on Sunday, and was good and very filling. Would stay again.

Would like to see the car park area improved visually, by smartening up a little, maybe with some planters, and resurfacing, larger hotel signage at side, etc.

Lovely location with views of the river on the balcony, which I sat out on since a small table and chairs were provided. Within walking distance of Littleport centre, where there are a range of restaurants/takeaways and a Co-Op supermarket. The bedroom and bathroom were spacious and a selection of tea, coffee and toiletries were provided. Bed was comfortable and staff were friendly. Nice restaurant, where I ate dinner and breakfast, good quality and tasty food.

The breakfast (plated Full English) was quite expensive (£15 per person) and there was an additional charge for drinks, which I thought was quite cheeky. Otherwise, no complaints.

We have stayed many times, twice since the new owners took over. The location is first class, there is nowhere better (there is actually nowhere else!) that you can stay on this part of the Great Ouse. The new owners are very friendly. Their decor improvements to the pub and restaurant are fantastic. The rooms are decorated to a good standard with that priceless view and you can stay for just the one night if you wish, no minimum stays. It would be great if the local and boating community continued to support and get behind the new and improved Swan so it continues to thrive.

The rooms are not terribly well soundproofed, so you can hear voices and flushing toilets in the adjoining rooms. The moorings are in need of an overhaul, but the new owners are really on the ball with their improvements and this is clearly a mammoth, specialised job.
