Disappointing to say the least

We arrived at 1.30pm and asked for lunch but were told they didn't have a chef at the moment. We ate at another pub in the village where we were told that the place we were staying in hadn't had a chef for months! We had booked to attend a gig that night nearby so had no option but to stay there. No chef however, also meant no breakfast and so we left at 9.00am. No apologies given, and when we questioned the chalkboard in the bar offering food, we were told they 'hadnt had time to alter it'. Although the beds were comfy, and the shower pretty good, the windows were filthy, and the bathrom one had a broken catch so it couldn't be closed. Should have advised about the lack of food as it spoilt our stay really, as I booked months in advance

Comfortable stay with friendly staff.

Good position in Center of village has its own spacious car park. Very friendly. It’s an old pub in an old property it’s got character. Lighting in bedroom was poor, but beds very comfortable and room clean.

Awesome stay

Gorgeous night in a super comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Great to have a dog friendly room (though warning only the double room - number 5 - is dog friendly). Deep bath with great hot water (I love to bathe!)

Situated right in middle of Sturminster with parking round the back so no parking fees. The staff were friendly and helpful. Room was very clean with comfortable beds. Bathroom was clean but needed a bit of attention to mould in grouting around shower area. Lovely soft large towels

The Swan was dissapointing

Two days before arrival we were emailed to say there would be a loud disco below our room until 11.45pm. They offered cancellation but it was far too late to change our visit and rearrange, so we put up with it. The room was ok but wasnt cleaned on the 2nd day. No Breakfast available both days. Pub was loud and noisy, would suit some but not us. Had Friday evening meal in restaurant 1st Friday of December - we were the only two people in the restaurant! Food and service fine, but room "tired".

A lovey return visit

Our regular return to the Swan was very enjoyable. The room was clean and tidy. As always the welcome was warm and the service very good. A lovely old building but with modern and appropriate facilities. It was reasonable value for money. Looking forward to our next visit already!

Dorset does Halloween

Having booked the Swan in order to meet up with a friend, it was a bit of a surprise to find out that a live band was going to be playing- directly under our bedroom. In an even more surreal twist, the pub was taken over on Saturday night by all sorts of witches, ghouls, vampires, zombies and skeletons. The only thing to do was to embrace the madness and join in! The band was surprisingly good (80s rock) and we loved the whole community atmosphere. Awesome- thank you for a memorable stay!
