Comment From The Media
On food: "Tasty and immaculately presented ...wonderfully civilised" Paddy Burt, Daily Telegraph. If you want to see the full article, come and read it in our Entrance Hall, or buy Paddy's latest book "Room Service."
On wine: "Few other British restaurants offer such a rich choice of [St Emilion] wines" Financial Times
On atmosphere: "The Swan's restaurant is of the flagestones-and-flickering candlelight variety, and, like the rest of the hotel, it takes honest-to-goodness Yorkshire ingredients and coaxes them gently upmarket." The Sunday Times
The independently inspected Which Hotel Guide 2009 has this to say:
"...the staff are 'welcoming, efficient'....The newer, contemporary bedrooms, in an annexe, are 'exceptionally good, and free of traffic noise'....Darren Clemmit's 'country cooking' uses meat from the 'unique' local Ginger Pig food producer. 'Excellent meals, with high-quality ingredients, large portions, and good daily specials."
