Swan Hotel, Wadebridge

Simply awful. I've never reviewed a hotel before but felt compelled to after our stay.

Stayed the night here with my girlfriend and her brother on a cycle ride from Lands End to John O'Groats. Turned up after day of cycling and told to put our bikes in the rubbish bin area. While still locking our bikes up in this stinking area, a staff came out of the fire exit and started throwing rubbish down into the bins. He then proudly told us he would be cooking us breakfast in the morning.

Scruffy room and awful shower (which I have to admit we didn't complain about because we were just too knackered after our cycle ride).

Very loud Karaoke in the bar and exceptionally surly landlady who sneered when I came down to double check that it would be finished by 11pm (as it was incredibly loud).

Finished by the worst cooked breakfast I've ever had in the morning. Glad to get away from this place. And it was the most expensive on our whole trip, even though we had to share a room.
