A friend of ours had seen a glorious review of the Swan House in a Swedish newspaper, so we decided to meet there for her husband's birthday. The review was absolutely right, and Brendon absolutely deserves all his awards. The Swan House is a beautiful B & B ( actually much more than a B & B) set in the... More

This B & B is I am sure, the best one I have ever been to. The welcome from Brendon was great, it was like meeting an old friend, the room was wonderful, the bed was so comfy, and the breakfasts were divine ! Nothing was too much trouble, and we were advised of the best places to have dinner... More

This B&B is a beautiful building, tastefully decorated and the welcome was one of the best I have have. It was a busy weekend in Hastings due to the Jack In The Green Festival and Brendan telephoned a day before to help with parking and give advice about getting to B&B. I arrived before my partner and was welcomed into... More

We spent the night at what must be the best Bed and Breakfast on the whole south coast, a treasure. Swan House is a haven of comfortable, eclectic shabby-chic style in an historic half-timbered building. A fire smolders in a great open hearth and a well-stocked Honor Bar hides in the bookshelf. Our bedroom, a former bakery flour loft, has... More

As there was no space for our last night at Hastings at The Old Rectory, we were directed to the Swan House for our last night. Brendan made us immediately feel at home. Everything feels very authentic, beautiful decoration, superb breakfast. We stayed in the lovely little Garden room. Must be lovely in summer time as you can open the... More

Wow, what a find within easy reach of where i live. I took my husband for a night away for his birthday and we couldn't have asked for more from Swan House. Brendan gave us the most amazing welcome, it felt like we had been there many times before and we were put immediately at ease to make the most... More

There is no other word to describe Swan house from the moment you set foot in the door everything is absolutely wonderful. The warm welcome that Brendan gave made me feel instantly relaxed and at ease, even helping me to get the luggage out of the car while my husband went to park, we were then made a pot tea... More

My wife and I have just got back home after spending Easter at Swan House, a smallish b&b tucked into the maze of litte winding streets and alleyways that make up Hastings Old Town. The weather outside was cold, but the welcome inside could not have been warmer, starting with tea and biscuits on our arrival. Our bedroom - Artisan... More

Our third visit to Swan House and it was lovely again - the warmest of welcomes and a comfortable room with sumptuous bedding. Brendan was as attentive as ever, as was Harriet and her colleague in the kitchen when it came to breakfast. Nothing seems to be too much trouble and the atmosphere is relaxed and calming. My only qualm... More

We spent two nights at the hote. Brendan is a real people person - warm, welcomimng and attentive. Breakfasts were wonderful. The house is charming and in a most picturesque part of town. naturally a building so old tends to creak a bit, unlike facelss modern hotels.
