The Manor at Sway

Nice, quirky hotel with a very warm welcome and helpful staff. The disappointment was the dinner! It was all rather over-priced with puddings at £6.95. While my seafodd pasta was lovely one in our party had an in-edible steak and a couple of people had badly-cooked aspsaragus - char-grilled and woody. We went elsewhere for dinner on the 2nd night.

The hotel was lovely and had everything we needed. Staff were very friendly and keen to be of assistance. The garden area was nice and quiet and the rooms were clean with lovely views.

We went for a one night 'Get away from Christmas'. The owner,Tim and the reception staff have a wonderful can-do attitude. Our room (15) was right at the top of the hotel with masses of light, huge proportions and immaculately refurbished - Can't wait to revisit and see the new bar/restaurant & public areas after their January refit. Well done Tim & the team!

I booked this hotel knowing that it was currently through some renovations. What I didn't expect as a single person travelling was to be placed up on the top floor with three other vacant rooms all currently being renovated, mine being the only room not being worked on and which was very dated sort of thing you would expect in a bed and breakfast house. And guess what, it was right outside the out dated caged lift. everything outside the room had a nice layer of dust on it. But the room was clean, out fashioned, but clean. Nice touch was a piece of shortbread and muffin under a glass dome. When the workman had finished at the end of the day, the rooms were sorted and guests moved in. What I saw, these newly renovated rooms looked great. So don't go into room no 11 unless its been renovated, or unless you have a fettish on caged lifts! Food was lovely, gardens pretty, but there is absolutely nothing nearby to spend your money on. Wont be going back there that's for sure.

Very good services. The food from restaurant is good. Located in a small quiet town. Good as a base for visiting new forest with car.
