“Located in a pretty little village, seemingly lost in time - this riverside inn offers elegant boutique bedrooms, a fine seasonal British menu and charming riverside cottages. Chickens freely roaming the garden and Mitford memorabilia add a unique charm to this quaint Cotswold retreat. ”

Hotel review

The legendary Mitford sisters grew up in the quintessentially English village of Swinbrook and to this day the Swan is owned by the last surviving sister, Debo, Dowager Duchess of Devonshire. While family photographs still adorn the wall, the inn is today run by Archie and Nicola Orr-Ewing (see King’s Head, Bledington). Bedrooms in a converted Cotswold barn, individually designed by Nicola, complement the excellent food and the loveliness of the riverside location. Why did the Dowager Duchess choose the Orr-Ewings as landlords? “I think it’s because we keep chickens”, says Archie. Don't expect perfection – things can be a bit hit or miss – but do expect a great ambience.
