The lack of lifts and the layout of the rooms is very inconvenient and confusing. My fault for not checking but there is no AC which made for a warm room. However the staff was very accommodating and breakfast was nice.

A night at The Lion and Swan

Beautiful well thought out rooms. Well decorated and spotlessly clean. Our king room had a slipper bath with privacy screen and a beautiful wetroom with twin sinks ,shower, toilet and lovely fluffy towels. The Lion and Swan is in Congleton town center, with free car parking a large dining lounge area, restaurant and bar. A comprehensive menu and our meals,both dinner and breakfast ,were really very good. There is also an adjoining Pecks restaurant with its own menu offering high end dining. The staff compliment the premises and were efficient, friendly and happy.

We could not see a reason why this Hotel has been given a 4* rating. Whist the bedroom was warm, clean and comfortable, it was small and part of the TV was behind the cupboard. The lounge, the only place to buy food, other than the restaurant with an expensive and limited menu, closed early, at 5pm on the Friday. The staff were pleasant and helpful, but the Hotel was clearly understaffed.

Our room was absolutely lovely! We booked a standard room and it was beautiful with wooden beams. The shower was great and the bathroom was spotless. We really enjoyed breakfast and all the staff were really lovely. We would love to stay here again!

Nice centre of town accommodation. First impressions were very good. Friendly staff. We were in room 8 and the room looked directly down the high street. So lots of traffic and close to numerous public houses. Ear plugs were supplied by the hotel, but we dudnt feel the need to use them. We hesrd lots of public noise but that was only to be expected and didnt disturb our sleep.. The room on first impressions was warm and welcoming. Small fridge contained complimentary fresh milk & carraff of water. Only thing I found to pick at was the cleanliness of the bathroom. The bathroom its self was amazing, it just needed cleaning properly. There were dirty marks on the door, substance unknown. The panels of the door were covered in dust. Small cobwebs from the ceiling. The heated towel rail was thick with dust as was the head of the waterfall shower head. Breakfast was lovely . All fresh and good quality and served by friendly staff. Would I stay there again? YES.

No-one was on the check-in desk when we arrived and we had to go and fetch someoe from the bar to check us in. The breakfast service was slow. Otherwise, the hotel was lovely, well decorated and clean, comfy bed and brilliant location

Great staff, warm welcome and excellent service. Hotel is lovely with lots of character. Good facilities, tea/coffe machine, fridge, tv, geat powerful shower, clean and tidy and free wifi. Would have been a 5 star if it wasn't for the noise!! I stayed on a saturday night and the hotel is surrounded by bars. Be warned the area was very busy until the early hours, so you can imagine the noise. There was secondary glazing, which kept some the noise out, but still too noisey. Also a lot of noise from the hotel bar below. Unfortunately not much sleep had. I guess if your up all night on the town then you probably wont care , but if your after a quieter time then a week day would probably be best.
