Room was small but had everything you need. Few shops and places to eat in walking distance. The food they served all just seem to come with chips and was abit overpriced.
lovely place to stay, staff where welcoming and helpful throughout, food was excellent in the restaurant - could not fault this stay and would highly recommend
The staff at all levels were helpful & friendly. They resolved my late arrival without an issue & provided an excellent breakfast in the morning.
It is a pity that the bar closes at 22:00 but that is my only concern.
A well located hotel with restaurant and bar. Food good quality and reasonable price. Room looks newly decorated en suite clean and fresh. Located well for access to Hemswell antique centre and Gainsborough
Decent sized hotel for a small village, good car park, pub on site, restaurant very good food and reasonably priced.
Staff are lovely and couldn’t be better.
Excellent Room, staff very welcoming, polite, friendly & helpful. Food was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyable stay for Valentine's night. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be coming back. Thank you 😊
Lovely room. Fab bath! Great choice on tv. Clean. All we needed.

Very good welcome to the White Swan. Our room was compact and comfortable. Despite being next to the entrance door and stairs we had a peaceful night's sleep.
They had noted my request and provided us with a room with an easily accessible walk- in shower.
I would suggest looking at the position of the toilet as it is very close to the wall and hand rail making access challenging.
The sliding bathroom door didn't close completely leaving a 6 inch gap, this was
resolved the next morning after reporting to reception.
Thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal.
All the staff were brilliant, the food was lovely and the restaurant was nice. The area around the swan was quiet nice woodland walks near by overall a lovely place to stay
Nice clean room with small ensuite shower room, modern and warm.
Pleasant bar well stocked, delightful food and menu options, well presented. On sight car parking.
Booked as a Christmas catch up for friends. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Service was excellent from check in through to the bar and restaurant staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal and breakfast the next morning also could not be faulted. Hopefully we will be back next year.
Very helpful & friendly staff, fine accommodation & food
