Curates Egg.
Pros:

Lovely location, staff friendly, bed comfortable. Enjoyable breakfast.
Crab crostini which was the highlight of my stay. Monkfish scampi was a close second.

Cons:

Being woken up 3 times on the first night by the man next door urinating! Walls very thin.
Being sat next to the fire exit at dinner, considering I had to pay close to £100 for an adequate dinner (cassolet, with a tiny piece of cod and lacking in beans).
Paying extra for vegetables, the menu wasn't clear that vegetables came with my dish (Pork fillet which was delicious). Roasted root vegetables, and they were only carrots and were they roasted? I expected swede, parsnips, celeriac, etc.

A lovely stay in a wonderful location

The breakfast was very hearty and the traditional full came with two eggs which is always nice. The meats were good quality which is important.

The fruit juice tasted like a cheap carton juice.

Comfortable nights sleep would stay again
Pros:

We slept well at the Three swallows. Comfy bed. The rooms are chalet style by the side of the pub.. Small but had everything we needed for an overnight stay

Cons:

The rooms could do with a touch of paint and the shower wasn’t great pressure. Bathroom window didn’t close .

A 10/10 amazing place
Pros:

Absolutely amazing so clean and just comforting! Beds where so comfy and so much space in the room as well! With a topped up
Daily coffee, tea hot chocolate you name it the team accommodated it perfectly! The breakfast is to die for so much choice and cooked so fresh! If you are staying here you must have the evening meal in the restaurant also you must book as they do get busy we didn’t book However Chris and Bev kindly squeezed us in and the food was a 10/10 again so much choice and great value!
Residents are super friendly also we honestly didn’t want to leave! Huge thank you to Chris and Bev and all the team for making our stay just so wonderful we will be back with our little fur babies
Thanks again and we will see you soon
Lots of love
