The Swan is a charming property in the beautiful village of Lavenham, with a warm atmosphere and great staff who made dining a pleasurable experience. However, several basic expectations were not met, particularly regarding room comfort and noise management. While the food quality stood out, the accommodation left much to be desired in terms of maintenance and sleep quality, especially given the price point.
