Very good hotel, well located near the town centre. The room was good, spacious and dog friendly. Hotel staff were very helpful and we really enjoyed our weekend stay. We will definitely be back.
Proximity to centre of Stratford was excellent. Room was a good size, clean but slightly dated (I think that there is refurbishment work going on at the moment). Really good value for money and added bonus of cheap parking and electric charge points in the car park. Would definitely stay at the Swans Nest again.

Average & dated. Breakfast average. Staff helpful , room clean enough, wouldn’t go again.
I had a mixed stay here. On the positive side, the location is excellent, and the hot breakfast was well-ordered and perfectly served. However, the hotel is average overall and needs some TLC. Upgrading the uninviting car park entrance would be a great place for management to start.
Stayed Friday and Saturday last week
Negatives first sugars in the dirty tea and coffee holders were empty,old sugar not been cleaned and bathroom fan very dirty,
Positives room was actually nice loved the shower good view and fantastic location our first visit to Stratford and we both loved it want to come back and will probably stay here again
Nice hotel, great location for the RSC, reasonable parking costs. Stayed in the Ophelia suite, the furniture was a bit tired but very clean. Good price. Would stay again
Excellent location within short distance of all amenities and great restaurants. Room very comfortable with walk in shower and slippers and gowns provided. Parking available. Will definitely stay there again.
Central location.
Friendly helpful staff.
Large room with comfortable twin beds.
Great bathroom with bath and shower.
We would certainly return to this hotel.
Excellent position for all attractions. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Hotel undergoing extension and renovation. This is affecting cleanliness and ease of access. Very comfortable accommodation with good quality mattresses and bed linen.
Loved it. Big and clean rooms. Close to city centre with an easy short walk. Staff were helpful and friendly. Only dined there once but food was great. Nice atmosphere…highly rate the stay. (We’re from Australia)

Good location. Quiet. Comfortable beds and rooms well equipped. However, room and communal spaces were tired and dirty. Building work was taking place with no prior warning on booking. Breakfast in restaurant was slow and food was served cold.
The hotel is centrally located in close proximity fo Stratford's many attractions & resturants. Our only annoyance being on Saturday afternoon, when the room cleaner said she was unable to clean the room, because of "health & safety" - fortunately, we had no requirments at that time - but the peculier excuse seemed acrimoneous with her duties!
The location of the hotel is perfect for anyone visiting the Royal Shakespeare theatre, or wanting to visit Stratford upon Avon. Located just by the river, it is walking distance to the town and it is a beautiful walk.
The staff are brilliant and even when there was a small issue with our room, it was sorted out immediately.
We've stayed here multiple times for the theatre and will stay again.
