Reviews and Ratings
My stay at The Manor at Sway was a mixed experience. The rooms were very pleasant with an extremely comfortable bed which was much appreciated as I was suffering from a bad back. However, they were a bit on the chilly side. I did like the REN toiletries, decent tea and coffee, and the proper blackout curtains. Having a fan in the room was a nice touch.
I loved my stay at the hotel! The room was small but pleasant, and we were welcomed with some lovely treats. The comfortable bed made it perfect for enjoying a drink while watching the sunset. The service was impeccable, with friendly staff and thoughtful gestures like a welcome drink. The location was great for exploring the local area, though dining options were limited. The dining experience, while average, offered delicious salads. Overall, a charming stay with a few minor drawbacks.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although spacious, were a little noisy and could use some freshening up. The location was slightly misleading, but it was convenient for exploring the New Forest and the Coast. The dining was disappointing for the extra cost incurred, but the staff provided warm and professional service. However, the hotel's proximity to the railway station was a plus for easy access to nearby attractions.
