We had 2 nights stay at the Royal Swan.
We had a great welcome at check in and the room was spacious with a good bathroom.
It wad very hot while we were there and we would have been grateful for aircon or even a fan.
However it was really good value for money.

From the outside it doesn’t look very inviting, but inside very clean, brooms clean, I had one night for business travel which was adequate for me only down side no on site restaurant , but there is a very good pub for food 10 minutes walk away , plenty of parking and good breakfast in the morning

We stayed for a night at Royal Swan Ashley Manor. It's a bit of a difficult find (even with satnav) as it's on a relatively fast treed road with little obvious signage. The outside is very unassuming and if you arrive late, you will likely have to find parking on the back lawn (it's fairly smooth and on a hot summer's day is actually preferred because there's shade there).

The rooms are not difficult to find, and your room key is an old-fashioned actual key attached to a large plexiglass plate. The room is fairly clean and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom we had was triangular and on the very small size, with a double-closet door entry that was frustrating in that it seemed unnecessary, was difficult to close due to interior trim that was falling out, and when opened the doors, the fan and light automatically turned one which means late-night visits to the washroom will wake up your partner with what at that time feels like a spotlight beam.

Regardless, the room was clean, we slept well, and the staff were very helpful and responsive to questions and concerns.

First the Good, Room clean and presented well, Shower very good,Pillows are not good go flat as soon as you put your head on.
The not so good,No food available which I knew before arriving, but the bar was also in darkness, only two draft pumps which were off, with only a very small selection of bottles consisting of Corona, thatchers and an ale. Not a relaxing mood on arriving, you need to go to local Pub for food and drink.
Overall it so just a bed for the night, for the price would like facilities to be open to relax.

Fantastic location with loads of parking. Staff were friendly. Rooms were huge with comfy beds and (once you’ve worked it out) good showers. We stayed in the heat wave and the rooms needed fans (on order by the hotel) and windows were tethered so wouldn’t fully open. Would happily stay again.

Good shower, with rain head and normal head, towels were plentiful and soft. All very clean. We did not have breakfast, but the room looked well appointed. Large lounge and reception areas, with a billiard table in one room. All the staff were lovely.

The room was a good size but very dated like staying at your grandma’s. The room was very clean, the towels were white, clean and soft. The bed was very comfortable and we both slept well. There is ample free parking. Overall a good stay for one night.

Yes the rooms are outdated, however, it was perfect for our one night stay. It was clean and quiet. I would easily stay for a weekend! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The elevator was out of service, so we did get help with our luggage. Highly recommend it and there was plenty of great free parking on the property. I think they are working on making some updates to the place, which would be fantastic!

We pre booked and paid for dinner only to find at check in that dinner wasn’t available and we had been booked at a pub 10 minutes away by car. We didn’t want to drive again we wanted to eat and relax after a day of travel. As there wasn’t an alternative we didn’t go to the pub where the main course was fine but not what we wanted. Had we been informed that dinner wasn’t available we would have booked elsewhere.

1) The walls of the room are thin, and I could hear voices from the next room. The next room guests were having a video call during midnight, which was very noisy.
2) I didn't order breakfast, nor the staff asked if I wanted at check-in, but the hotel told me to pay £30 at check-out, which, they said, meant to be for the breakfast. I explained that I didn't order/eat breakfast and I should have paid the whole amount. They confirmed and canceled the charge. Why does this kind of mistake happen?

Breakfast is ordered on arrival or in the evening. The cooked breakfast was delicious, extremely well cooked and served by attentive and friendly staff. There is also a well stocked breakfast buffet table with a range of fruit juice, cereals, yoghurt and fresh fruits. Make your own toast. Tea and coffee is served, which is a nice change from thermos pots.
The car park is quite large to the side/ rear of the building.
There is an option for express online check in and check out.
In all I can heartily recommend this property and the team there.

I stayed here for 4 nights. The staff are so welcoming, freindly, helpful and caring.
They made me feel part of the family and as I was a female travelling alone and miles from home I considered myself to be very privileged. It was a very humble experience.
6 stars to CJ and Nick for the service and welcome they provided.
Paul and Bryanna 5 stars.
The breakfast was really yummy and probably the hottest breakfast I have ever had.
I would definitely stay here again if I ever was in the area.
My bathroom was very tired and definately needs attending to.
I stayed in room 2 which was very quite. The bed was comfortable.
Plenty of free parking.

We were only staying one night, before a cruise, so we hadn't rented a car. The Royal Swan has plenty of parking, but without a car, dining options are limited. 2 very nice places are walkable in the daytime, but at night, we took an Uber. On our way to the cruise port, we saw many dining options nearby, but you need a car.

Like most old buildings there is always something that needs doing, if you look for it, but overall the property is in good character.

We stayed for 1 night for a business trip, but would stay for more nights as the feeling of the place is very good, and this is down to the staff, Peter is a excellent host and will do his best to make your stay as comfortable as possible, and Michael is very pleasant and will help you just as much, we can not comment on all the staff as we only meet 1 more staff member that served our breakfast (sorry cant remember her name) but was very pleasent and helped when needed.
