Comfortable and enjoyable stay close to BRS

Not the first time we stayed here, because of its proximity to Bristol airport. But apart from that, this brewery owned pub is a very nice one. Good food, friendly staff and very comfortable rooms. Hope to be back soon.

The Swan Inn is a beautiful pub in a quiet country area with easy access to Cheddar. We loved the property and enjoyed our stay very much. We ate dinner one night and breakfast one morning and both meals were delicious. I’d highly recommend The Swan Inn if you’re looking for a quiet country stay in a lovely old pub.

Booked an overnight stay for an anniversary getaway. The room far exceeded my expectations. Everything was spotlessly clean. The facilities in the room were amazing and a great minibar with a complimentary drink. The food was amazing, we would definitely recommend this little pub.

Lovely venue, near to Cheddar.

One night stay for a mini break to Cheddar and Glastonbury with my little boy. The Swan Inn was lovely. Convenient location just a few minutes drive from Cheddar. We liked our room - nice decor and little welcome touches, plus it was very clean. Breakfast was great. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Brilliant Stay in beautiful location

We had an amazing 3 nights at the Swan. From the time we arrived to when we left the service was excellent. We were offered a drink from the bar when we arrived and on departure a coffee for the journey, never have we had this while staying in a pub! All the staff were friendly and very helpful, offering to help with our bags and any other needs we had. Our room, The Dolebury, was in an annex set aside from the actual pub and was beautiful and very clean. Complimentary water, tea and coffee and toiletries in the bathroom. Breakfasts were cooked to order and were delicious and plentiful. We also ate in the pub 2 evenings and the food was very tasty and good options. We would totally recommend this pub set in a beautiful tranquil location, though also very easy to reach places like Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole and Glastonbury. They were also super helpful at getting my husband’s wedding ring returned which he left in the bathroom when we checked out!!

Quiet overnight stay near Cheddar

The staff were excellent and the food was very good, although we did have to send our steaks back as medium rare came out as exceedingly rare. The replacements were spot on, however. The rooms were very nice, with comfortable beds and blackout curtains. The only disappointment was that they were adjacent to the Inn proper and facing the parking lot, so it felt more like staying at a high end motel. The laundry delivery truck came at 6am, parked not 30 feet from our door and woke us up doing linen exchange. An hour later it was the garbage truck picking up from the kitchen bin enclosure, which was right outside the rooms. We had to don a raincoat to go from our rooms to dinner in the Inn. None of this was expected when booking. The only upside to our rooms was the accessibility for my elderly mother. Be advised that the Inn is not within walking distance of anything, but only a short drive to the tourist town of Cheddar in the Cheddar Gorge, which has shops and restaurants.

Great short stay with our dogs

Stayed for 3 nights in Lookout with our 2 dogs. Received a warm welcome and great service throughout from Sam and his team. The room is spacious, comfortable, clean and well-appointed, and bathroom is nice. The room was warm given the time of year, but equipped with a fan and the team were happy to provide use of their fridge since there is no longer an in-room fridge - so no issue. We liked having a small terrace, also great to be able to park right outside the room - parking is free and plentiful. No noise issues either from the pub itself or from neighbouring rooms overnight, which was a relief with two watchful spaniels! Food is good - decent choice and quality. Breakfasts are fantastic and set us up nicely for long days of walking! The inn is well located for local walks and just a short drive to Cheddar etc. We would recommend, and will be back!
