Staff and food were very good but stay was let down by a few niggles. I had booked a table for dinner but there was no record of it when I arrived. I had also asked for a room with a walk in shower but didn't get it. The biscuits on the tea tray were the smallest pieces of shortbread I have seen made worse by having no biscuits at all on my second night. The tea bags had not been replenished and why leave 3 cartons of long life milk for 2 people? I have stayed in many hotels with my dog and this was the first time there was no bag of goodies left for him. The garden was very nice but the garden furniture was tatty and in need of painting. The bed was uncomfortable and squeaky. There was a window in the room but we had to improvise with a coat hanger to keep it open. These are all quite minor niggles but enough for us not to return again.

This was a lovely place to stay which we chose partly because it has some EV charging facilities. The restaurant and bar have a good selection with well kept beer and the staff are helpful and friendly. We especially recommend the panna cotta, however, all the food was good. The bedroom and bathroom were a good size and well appointed with tea, coffee and water. We would visit again

Excellent hotel, highly recommend.

Return stay. Stayed here many times over the last few years, always a warm and friendly welcome, good service, good food and nice rooms. Also, good for business travellers, breakfast available from 7.30, unlike so many country hotels.
The Wheatsheaf is ideally positioned for me to travel out in whatever direction my work takes me.

Short break at the Wheatsheaf.

Had a lovely three night stay at the Wheatsheaf. Michael and Jo were always there and most helpful. Our room (no1) was upstairs and had a large settee in and still lots of space. We ate in the restaurant two nights and the food was delicious.

Excellent hotel

Very friendly, welcoming and helpful staff, from the manager Chris to those working in the restaurant. Nothing seemed too much trouble, and they went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. During a three night stay we had breakfast and dinner at the hotel, and all meals were delicious and plentiful. Would reluctantly recommend this hotel, simply because we would be worried it would become too popular, and there would be no room for our return visit!

Stay at the Wheatsheaf Swinton.

Builder work made access to our room difficult at times, especially as I have mobility problems. The room was ok, but chairs a bit threadbare and not particularly comfortable. For a 4 star hotel certainly not value for money.

Pleasant Country Hotel

A relaxing stay for a few days while partaking in another activity.

Opted for the executive room for a bit of comfort and was worth the extra.

The food was very nice, if the menu was a little limited in choice.

Staff were pleasant and very courteous.

A pleasant place to stay in glorious countryside

A very comfortable stay in an Executive Room. Pleasant staff and very helpful service throughout our visit. We ate well though the menu is perhaps a little ‘safe’. I had hoped for seasonal specials on the menu but was disappointed. The wine list is good and reasonably priced. On a chilly October evening it would have been nice to have a real fire in the lounge area but the grate was empty and thus lacked a cosy feel.

Check if your looking to go with pets

Booked via hotel.com as the page impaired that the rooms shown where available for pets. When we arrived we where told that only certain rooms are available for pets and we where downgraded to another room. No attempt was made to reduce the price. Talked to the manager and he promised to change the text online, which has been done, but no sign of a price adjustment.

Our bed was a little uncomfortable as it had a dip in the middle, but the breakfast and service where excellent.
