    Asked about: Executive King Room • Answered on 20 October 2019
  • Can our dog go in this classic twin room
    yes, the dogs are allowed in all our classic rooms and we do a extra charge of £15 per dog per night
    Asked about: Classic King/Twin Room • Answered on 30 November 2019
  • Hi, I know you are pet friendly but is their a restriction on which room we can have, because we are looking at the Feature King Room (we have a 12 and a half year old Cocker Spaniel)
    We have several dog friendly rooms available with differing room types. It will be fine to have this room with your dog.
    Answered on 20 June 2020
  • Hi, we've stayed at The Swan a few times last year and have always felt very welcome with the Dog (Max). I know you only normally allow Dogs in the Classic Rooms, but during our last stay you kindly welcomed us and Max into a Feature Double. Is that still an option? Regards Rob Carr & Clare Crofts x
    Good morning, please give us a call directly to discuss dog friendly rooms.
