Everything was so perfect during our stay! The staff was so attentive and kind, we received a welcoming drink and even had turned down service every evening before bed. Breakfast was delicious and the hotel was just to beautiful and historic. The spa is also a nice addition, I had a very relaxing spa and steam room and the shower facilities are very nice. I definitely recommend the Swan, I want to come back and visit again!!
