The rooms are not terribly well soundproofed, so you can hear voices and flushing toilets in the adjoining rooms. The moorings are in need of an overhaul, but the new owners are really on the ball with their improvements and this is clearly a mammoth, specialised job.

We have stayed many times, twice since the new owners took over. The location is first class, there is nowhere better (there is actually nowhere else!) that you can stay on this part of the Great Ouse. The new owners are very friendly. Their decor improvements to the pub and restaurant are fantastic. The rooms are decorated to a good standard with that priceless view and you can stay for just the one night if you wish, no minimum stays. It would be great if the local and boating community continued to support and get behind the new and improved Swan so it continues to thrive.

The breakfast (plated Full English) was quite expensive (£15 per person) and there was an additional charge for drinks, which I thought was quite cheeky. Otherwise, no complaints.

Lovely location with views of the river on the balcony, which I sat out on since a small table and chairs were provided. Within walking distance of Littleport centre, where there are a range of restaurants/takeaways and a Co-Op supermarket. The bedroom and bathroom were spacious and a selection of tea, coffee and toiletries were provided. Bed was comfortable and staff were friendly. Nice restaurant, where I ate dinner and breakfast, good quality and tasty food.

The staff were excellent particularly Kyle the Manager. I would highly recommend the Swan if you would like to visit Ely or Cambridgeshire. The locals were super friendly and at great atmosphere. Food really good and great breakfast. Would definitely go back.

Nothing it was a truly peaceful experience with fantastic views of the river.

The location, the food and the room was exceptional !! Very peaceful and comfortable The Room was immaculately clean and well presented with a great balcony looking over the river. Bathroom is probably the best bathroom I’ve had in a hotel. Food was fantastic And the service was perfect couldn’t be more helpful and friendly. A hidden gem I will definitely return.

unusual weather made the room very hot, with very little ventilation ( unless windows and door was opened, then this let the bugs in). there was very little storage space. The ventilation in the bathroom was poor, so there was mold growth on the bottom of the shower curtain, and in the grouting of some floor tiles. However. the staff were accommodating and replaced the shower curtain, and provided a small fan to help make the room a little cooler. The ventilation in the bathroom needs dramatically upgrading, and a ceiling fan should really be installed in the bedroom. One other issue was the lack of provision of breakfast, which we were led to believe would be available when we booked. Since Littleport had no obvious restaurants available for breakfast, and the room had no refrigerator to store some breakfast items in (such as milk and juice), this made getting breakfast a challenge.

location, and very nice dinner one evening. staff were excellent. The fact that the room was handicap accessible was a nice touch.
