Quiet & comfortable
Great room with a small balcony overlooking the river. Nice menu for dinner & great choice of drinks from the bar. No breakfast available at the property despite whats hotels.com tell you but plenty of choice in Littleport. Great stay & would stay again.

OK for a short visit
Tiny balcony, ok for short visit. Train passing crossing annoying all night, but convenient and clean a bit dated though.

Bad experience
Used the hotel previously for work. Very clean and tidy. Booked for a second time and work arrangements changed. Forfeited 2 nights but was promised a refund on the 3rd. This was not given and the manager will not answer the phone.

8/10 Very Good

On arrival was abit hesitant to be honest as right near the railway line and car park had a large buzzing generator. Our fears were unfounded as facilities were excellent.Rooms were at the back , a series of chalets with their own locked security corridor .Motion sensor lights made it easy to see in the dark . Rooms were modern and very clean .Towels arranged like swans when we arrived making it look very luxurious.Rooms were warm and each room had a small balcony over looking the river . We ate in the swan pub and found the food lovely and at a good price .Akso had complimentary tea , coffee and wine .Plus an extensive information folder in room. Unfortunately the swan wasn’t providing breakfast but they had links to a local cafe which provided discount fir hotel guests . There was live music on Sat night but this stopped about midnight so did not disturb us . Travel into Ely took approx 15 mins . Would def recommend, staff very polite and accommodating.

Nice & Comfortable!
We had a very nice overnight stay at The Swan in a comfortable & quiet room overlooking the river. The room was round the back of the pub in a separate block so we were able to go out & come in when we wanted. It was very nicely & thoughtfully furnished and supplied - good beverage choices, wine & water, lovely fluffy towels, lots of hot water & a great shower. It was very warm though, a few degrees cooler would have suited us better but we were able to keep the window open all night which was ok. I was disappointed not to be able to get breakfast there as Hotels.com said we could but we found a nice place 10 mins walk up the road.

Nice Boutique Hotel on the Great Ouse
Lovely little hotel on the river, nice food and friendly staff. Just five rooms but each has veranda overlooking the river. Recently refurbished and under new management (I believe). I look forward to staying longer next time
