Fab oldie worldie

Loved the hotel and restaurant, such a beautiful building and rooms, outside lovely too, with croquet, giant chess and hoopla. Food was very nice, we had evening meal and breakfast. Staff friendly and attentive too. We’re definitely coming back. Fab location.

lovely quaint period property in a great location , few small things need attention , lack of signage, warm beer , cold coffee , outside patio needed cleaning , staff were trying but seemed under pressure

Nice stay

Beautiful setting, room was nice and just basic amenities considering it was £300+ for the night there was no added extras. Nothing particularly stand out for this hotel. Breakfast was very slow and food ok. No phone signal, and wifi very poor.

The cottage is very dirty and has a strong unpleasant smell — it really needs a deep cleaning. The service is not professional, and the food is poor

5 * ???

Bedroom not well ventilated as only a small window in bedroom which could only be opened slightly. Everywhere looked a bit tired and in need of refurbishment. WiFi took long time to connect. Poor reception on TV in room. Not sure how this hotel has a 5 star rating.
Sally, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent location in charming countryside and just a short drive to Witney and Burford. Staff were helpful and welcoming. Historic property with traditional pub feel, a log fire, cosy armchairs and nice gardens. Food in the pub was standard pub fare, fairly average and expensive but you are paying for the location. We had a lovely stay here.
Kate, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely position , good if travelling with dog .

Good venue for dog owners. Adjacent fields and walks . Bedrooms for dog owners a little tucked away . Gorgeous food but pricey . Breakfast good but let down by tepid coffee and cheap bread for toast . Overall very comfortable.

Doesn’t live up to the hype

Let’s start with the positive, beautiful location and convenience for exploring and love the history of the buildings. That history comes with downsides, rooms are very small, drains always blocked and the towel rail was burning hot the whole time. Our room was next to the kitchen so always noisy. The service was inconsistent (mostly bad) and the food was average to poor (called it a risotto but came out looking like week old sushi rice). Much potential but needs some TLC, staff training and leadership.

10/10 Exceptional

Nice area, very cozy and welcoming. The surroundings are really cute. Prepare to come with boots because the walks can be very muddy.
Louis-Ernest, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Disappointing for 500$ a night. Shower doesn’t get warm. WiFi doesn’t work. Breakfast was included but didn’t taste great. There was no beautiful garden or walking area around the property like I imagined and when I asked the front desk the walking path pamphlet they gave me is a dangerous one car road with no footpath. On my own I discovered that the sister property across the street has a decent walking path along the river. It just doesn’t match up the expectations created by their website. This feels like a 3 star hotel not 5 star.

The Manager and his team were an absolute joy and couldn’t do enough for you… and a special shout out to the lovely lady in Housekeeping for the bucket of ice!!! 😃 would most definitely recommend and stay again.

Beautiful character hotel

Lovely stay in a beautiful countryside location. The hotel room was well equipped, the venue itself has lots of charm and character and the staff were very friendly. Food was amazing!
Carly, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

FALSE ADVERTISING: I selected the Old Swan Hotel specifically because the listing on Expedia stated that the property offered air conditioning—an essential amenity for my stay. Upon arrival and check-in, I immediately noticed that the room was uncomfortably warm. I searched for the air conditioning controls but could not locate any. I then approached the front desk to inquire, and the receptionist informed me that the hotel does not have air conditioning in any of its rooms. This directly contradicts the information provided the Expedia site at the time of booking. This discrepancy constitutes false advertising and significantly impacted the comfort and quality of my stay. I feel misled by the inaccurate listing and believe this situation reflects a bait-and-switch experience.

Beautiful place and the food was amazing! Just need to put a mirror, plug and chair in the same area in the room and it would be perfect (minor thing in a room that was otherwise lovely).

Nice comfortable small hotel in quaint hamlet

One night stay in a superior room with king size bed. Comfortable room with heating on full so turned down radiators. Kettle and Coffee machine but no milk so fetched some. Nice bar area and large dining hall. Prebooked dinner at Mill House which is sister hotel and across the road and had breakfast there as no chef turned in.

Brilliant stay, check in was quick and smooth. Show to our rooms which were clean and spacious with large king bed. Staff were excellent during the stay and even did us a meal which wasn't on the recently updated menu. Breakfast freshly cooked and again adapted the choice for my colleague.
