  “Really lovely stay from start to finish. I stayed overnight and had dinner here, which was lovely. The following day I needed somewhere quiet to attend a training course and the team went out of their way to accommodate me, providing a suitable space where I could work. Everyone was incredibly friendly, flexible and accommodating throughout my stay, which I really appreciated. Would highly recommend to anyone passing through the area who needs somewhere to stay. Thanks again for the wonderful hospitality!”

  “Had a table booked for 5 of us for 11am for brunch as we were booked onto the boat sailing at 1pm, so that would give us enough time to enjoy our food. Unfortunately we got told that they dont do brunch, and breakfast had stopped at 10.30am. We were told someone would come and take our order at 11.55 so we could get our food quicker. No one came to take our order so we had to go to the bar. Only to overhear a member of staff telling other customers that they would all have to order at the bar, which is fair enough. But why tell us someone would come and take our order. The item that I ordered, the staff couldn't find it on their till, stating it wasnt available, yet it was on the menu. They even had to check with the chef to be told they did do it. Our food finally arrived at 12.35, leaving us not a lot of time to enjoy what we had ordered. No complaints about the food, it was lovely. Won't be returning though due to booking for brunch and being told they dont serve it. Why are you able to book a table for 11am if you cant order food until 12pm?”

  “Stayed 2 nights in a Family room. 2 breakfasts, 1 dinner. Positives: Location is excellent and beautiful on the river. Pub is lovely. Breakfast quality was excellent. Staff are kind and helpful. Room: lovely view, good bathroom, clean and well stocked for water tea coffee etc. Downsides: Sofa bed uncomfortable, mattress very thin. Dinner was nice but they were understaffed, some elements underwhelming. Rest still very good though. Overall a lovely stay and definitely would recommend, hopefully the poor staff get extra help as they all seemed to be working really hard!”

  “Another gorgeous pub with lovely staff in beautiful surroundings. We visited yesterday for drinks and sat overlooking the broads. We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the views especially. Dog friendly and family friendly too and internally very pleasing. Visited 8th of July 2026”

  “We have been here for lunch so weren't worried about having an evening meal here which I'd chosen for my wife's birthday. It had been a hot day and the staithe and garden were full but there was plenty of room and spare tables inside but we were shown to a table that was on a main path way directly overlooked by another table on a raised floor next to it. I asked if we could be moved and were offered two other more secluded corner tables by a window. We order drinks and mine arrived promptly but I had to prompt staff for my wife's drink. We chose the duck. There was quite a long delay before it arrived and it did look as if it had been under heat lamp. Cabbage, which wasn't red as specified on the menu, looked a bit limp and duck looked dry. But it tasted very good and the duck tasted more moist than it looked. No trifle so we opted for the crumble accompanied by a chai latte. The Swan is a lovely, ancient pub packed with atmosphere right next a busy broads water way and excellent views. Pay display car park is free if you put you car number in a terminal in the pub. A txt we received beforehand told about the terminal but not that it related to the pay display car park”

  “Would not recommend this place as we had a truly awful experience. We were left waiting for our table then our food did not arrive even after asking where it was and after over 90 min wait we were told that they had only cooked 2 meals and the final two would be freshly cooked! The pork has been left under a hot lamp and all the vegetables were shriveled up. In the end we accepted a refund and free round of drinks but if Vintage Inns want this place to keep going they have to get their act together.”

  “We arrived here in the evening. The place seemed quiet with a few diners eating their dinner. I was in a party of four that had just arrived in the village. We asked if there was a table available for us and we were shown to our table in reasonable time. The lady took our drink order but then seemed to take forever to take our food order. We told someone else that we were waiting to give our order. The lady came back and our order was taken. It took 50 minutes before our food arrived. When it did arrive it was all very good quality and there was nothing wrong with it. Portion sizes were lovely and the food itself was delicious. Overall a good experience.”

  “Visited for a birthday , food fantastic , service was average as some customers got asked about allergies but we did not. Male waiter put serving cloth in his pocket which might contain a dirty hanky not good for food safety and did not wear an apron to hold it. Card machine only available at bar so as a disabled person had to queue to pay and great lot of pain.”

  “Beautiful hotel located on the river! We came for breakfast during a weekday in winter. Was welcomed and they had to check of breakfast was still being served as was quiet. Lovely decorated and lovely breakfast! The toast was beautiful! Drinks were great n the more expensive side but the food was reasonable priced especially for the portion size! Imagine this place is rammed in the summer! They put the fire on too which was lovely! Very friendly staff :) says theres a quiz night too wish we lived closer!”
