We based ourselves here for three days motorcycling around Wales and couldn’t have picked better! The location is great, and the onsite parking for us was a must have. We had room 16 which was a large twin. The room was immaculately clean and very well presented. Tea, coffee and biscuits were replenished each day as were clean towels. 10/10 for housekeeping. Breakfast was excellent and the guy who served us each morning was friendly and professional. He repeatedly checked we had everything we needed and our ordered arrived quickly and were of excellent quality. We didn’t eat at the Swan in the evenings as there are so many great places to eat in Hay and we wanted to try a few of them. We recommend Tomatitos tapas and the Sunday lunch at the Three Tuns was excellent. I would advise avoiding the Blue Boar which is the nearest pub to the Swan, our experience there was awful. All in all a great hotel in a lovely town. We will definitely be back to the Swan soon.
