Good stay
We had a good stay at The White Swan. The standard room which we booked was smaller than I expected but I checked with the receptionist as I thought they may have given us a 'cosy' room by mistake; she confirmed it was a standard. It was closed to everything we needed. Breakfast was good. We went out for dinner so can't comment on that.

Good and bad
Location was perfect for shopping and restaurants. Our room was OK, bed was comfortable. We were given a handicap room next to the elevator, which we did not request or need. The bathroom was large but when taking a shower water was everywhere in the bathroom. The voice in the elevator could be heard in our room every time some one used it and overall the room was small and very dark, even with lights turned on. I did appreciate the history of the building and the breakfast was delicious.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, in what was an impromptu visit.
The room was nice and cosy clean and the bed was very comfortable.
