The Bull and Swan

Stayed for a couple of days at The Bull & Swan and can thoroughly recommend. Every member of staff was great, breakfast was excellent , bedroom ( we were in Lyon) was spacious with water and fresh milk in the fridge. Lovely toiletries, bedroom was very comfortable. Car park at the William Cecil, about 5 mins walk . There’s some noise from the road outside but it didn’t bother us. Ideal for visiting Stamford and I’m sure we will be back

We visited as a group of 6 for our works Christmas meal. Initially we were allocated a side room which was very nice, however we all preferred to be in the hustle and bustle of the pub so after a request we were moved with no issues whatsoever. There was a very long wait for food (there was a party on this night and busy)however when it came, it was superb. 4 members had the burger and fries, all were extremely satisfied, 1 of us had fish and chips which was absolutely delicious and 1 had pork loin which they thoroughly enjoyed but had the least on the plate, so would recommend a side dish to that meal. Drinks menu was extensive. Staff were so polite, welcoming and professional. Decor of pub was fantastic. Really cosy. Everything was clean and fresh. We would definitely return again.

This inn is a little gem. Our room and bathroom were large and beautifully furnished in a ‘modern heritage’ style. Everything very clean. Breakfasts were ample and beautifully cooked, as was our evening meal. Staff were very helpful. Can’t think of any negatives, although our room meant we had a short walk through the garden to reach the restaurant, but we were fine with that!

We really enjoyed our one night stay at the Bull and Swan, Stamford. The pub/restaurant had a good, lively feel to it on our arrival and the manager checking us in to our room was efficient, informative and welcoming. Very easy parking at the sister hotel situated very nearby too which is good, especially being able to arrive early and spend time in the town. Our room was very large and comfortable and was very well equipped but still retained the character of an old building. Loved the walk in shower, and even better, the free standing bath with an excellent selection of toiletries. Room was clean and the bed very comfortable too. We enjoyed a good meal in the restaurant, excellent food and very attentive, efficient waitress and waiter, both of who very friendly and relaxed. Breakfast next day was excellent, a good choice and of good quality. My only complaint was that you are not permitted to pay by cash in the restaurant. I strongly disagree with this policy and as a rule do not use card only establishments. I did not however see notices on the website or in the bar, advising of this. They may have been there but both my husband and I did not see them. This is the reason why I have deducted a 'star' from the rating and the only reason why we would not stay there again.

The best staff I have come across anywhere in a long time. Bright, friendly, helpful and completely genuine. The room was spacious with a comfortable bed. The dog was very welcome and catered for. The food was good. Things to be aware of - parking is not on site but just up the road in the William Cecil. Double parking to drop bags was possible but not the easiest. Steep stairs up the some of the rooms. This is a pub and there was a Friday night DJ out back and the music could be heard until 11pm. We would stay again.

We have eaten at the pub a handful of times but never stayed. We were very impressed with the quality of the room and its finishing. Very comfortable bed, lovey linen and towels, and lots of space. Really appreciates the quality toiletries as well as the home made cookies on arrival. Most comfortable stay and most delicious, varied breakfast choices. Highly recommend!

Beautiful room in a great location with free parking two minutes walk away. We really enjoyed having a stand alone bath in the room. There is access to the parkland of Burleigh House from the car park which is a lovely place to walk.

Called in here Monday evening for food. The glazed ham hock was recommended and we went for this. Omg! Stunning dish sadly we couldn't finish it. Our waiter was excellent ( his recommendationfor ham hock) Lovely atmosphere wish we had stayed here also but next time we definitely will.
