The Swan Hotel Wells

The Swan Hotel Wells

10/10 Excellent
"We were very happy with our huge room! There was a sitting area with couch and comfortable, along with a wonderfully comfy bed. The bathroom was spotless and appeared freshly renovated, and had a beautiful standing tub, with separate shower. We really enjoyed our breakfast. Everything was fresh and beautifully cooked, and service was above and beyond perfect. In fact, all staff we encountered were welcoming and kind."
