I was able to stay in the oldest character room in the hotel, which was an amazing stay. Room pictured was the room I stayed in: wooden 4-poster bed, wonky architectural features, stained glass windows. Excellent staff, food, and great location. 5-7mins walk from train station. Within walking distance of all Shakespearean historic sites in Stratford-Upon-Avon, as well as the largest butterfly farm in the UK. Quiet building/room even though it faced onto the high street. Highly recommend a stay, and I'd consider returning here.

We have a wonderful twin room on the 2nd floor that was both quiet, spacious and well furnished. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. The breakfast was excellent and well worth having. I would recommend the hotel for anyone travelling to Stratford-on-Avon.

White Swan Hotel has English countryside charm like a beautiful cottage. The room is spacious and has good amenities. However, there two things that I should mention: firstly the room is not sound proof and you may hear loud conversations from inside the room in the hall and secondly, the air conditioning does not work well and it takes a long time to adjust the temperature. Otherwise, everything else is good. The restaurant run by the hotel offers delicious English cuisine and they give 15% discount to the food if you stay there. All attractions in town are within walking distance including the train station.

We booked a Superior Double room, which is one of the best they offer. The pictures on Expedia show several very nice rooms with big windows. We did not get one of those. We got the room with small windows looking out onto two roofs. The room felt very claustrophobic with views to broken down a/c equipment on one side and shabby artificial turf on the other. The room decor was drab and dated and the bathroom had a curtain for a door. We feel the pictures of the rooms were misleading. If you choose to stay at this hotel, specify the exact room you want. You do NOT want ours. Oh, and don’t order a Manhattan in the bar. The bartender told us, “I know how to make it, but it’s not listed so I’m not able to ring it up… ☹️

Lovely hotel and staff. At check-in, Lucy assisted us and gave us a map of the city. She told us all we needed to know about dining options at the hotel and was very pleasant. The restaurant was great and food was delicious. Breakfast is made to order!! The hotel is very convenient and within walking distance to all points of interest. Highly recommend!!
