About this property
This 16th-century Cotswolds inn offers award-winning cuisine, free Wi-Fi and free parking in Swinbrook, just 5 minutes’ drive from the medieval market town of Burford. Nestled on the bank of the Windrush River, the building oozes character, with log fires, flagstone floors, and traditional oak-framed ceilings. Rooms at The Swan Inn Swinbrook are Pet-Free and are located in either the charming building itself, or in its converted stone barn. Every room has a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and an private bathroom. Some even boast a Victorian roll-top bath. The Swan's pub and restaurant have won numerous awards, including 2 AA Rosettes and the Good Pub Guide’s "Oxfordshire Country Dining Pub of the Year". British dishes with a modern twist are served using fresh, seasonal produce sourced from the surrounding area. Local ales and beers are stocked from the Cotswold Brewing Company. Although set in a tranquil location, the inn is just a 3-minute drive from the A40 and 7 minutes' drive from Burford. Oxford is 35 minutes’ drive away and Blenheim Palace, where Winston Churchill was born, is a 30-minute journey by car.
