The Swan Hotel is a beautifully preserved and presented traditional English hotel, which still retains many of its original features. The popular contemporary restaurant boasts eye-catching modern furniture and a striking mahogany floor. The intimate restaurant has a varied menu of well-cooked dishes and is open for lunch and dinner. It also has a reasonably priced wine list.
