“I cannot post a recommendation for the rooms because we only came for a meal although my impression is not only a first class restaurant with super service but also most probably a highly impressive accommodation. I would like to express our appreciation for the expert service from Hannah with regard to wine recommendation, such a great knowledge and then to be told that she is only in her 2nd week, unbelievably she already seemed to be “part of the furniture” as we say in London. Hopefully we will see her on our next visit to Hungerford.”

“Met by Hannah who was delightful. Friendly and welcoming. A true asset. Had a flat iron steak which was cooked as I had asked for. Last minute booking and rooms are very well appointed. Hannah also assisted in sorting out parking as market was on the following day. Great guest experience and all the staff were lovely. Thoroughly recommend.”

“Had a great stay, quiet location, nice comfortable room and meal was high quality. Service from the team was warm and excellent despite lots of demands on them. Bruce deserves a special mention for sorting my shirt stain, cannot thank you enough!”

“This was my third one night stay at the hotel. Great location in the middle of Hungerford. My bedroom (107) was large and clean with nice décor plus a big comfy bed. (Thanks for the upgrade). The room faced the road but was quiet enough for a good nights sleep. I thought the staff were exceptional and are a great asset to the hotel. A special shout out to Tracy and Hanna who were both friendly and helpful during my stay. The coffee and breakfast hit the spot. I would definitely recommend the Three Swans for accommodation and breakfast.”

“First time staying in Hungerford and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay for our Christmas vacation, than The Three Swans! The hospitality was first class and Manager Bruce and the team went above and beyond to ensure our family stay was a happy and memorable one. Much gratitude to the chef for accommodating me with my dietary requirements; I was able to choose an alternative for every dish that wasn't suitable for me; with Caitlin telling me: we want everyone to be happy! Also, a special shout out goes to Oliver; who's kindness shone through when I was left for an extra night without my family, waiting for my car to be repaired ......He was great company and kept me entertained. Thanks also to Olivia ('Liv'), who was friendly, kind and most efficient! Evie impressed me also, with her sincerity and happy nature. From the time I arrived, the staff made me feel as if I was being welcomed into one big happy family! Wonderful memories for myself and my family have been made; thanks to you guys! I have to finish by thanking Bruce especially .... He overwhelmed me with his kindness and sincerity in helping me with the assistance I needed to get my car repaired, as it developed a major problem as I arrived at the hotel on Christmas Eve! Bruce took complete control of the situation, as he could see I was stressed and upset. I shall carry his words with me forever; "We don't do problems here; only solutions." It made me cry and I wish to stress that this is a man who truly represents and lives by the hotel's motto of: 'HOSPITALITY FROM THE HEART.' Much love and thanks to you all!”
