Romantically set in 60 acres of woodland and orchards, The Old Swan is over 600 years old. With 5-star, elegant rooms and a croquet lawn. Just 27 miles from Cheltenham, the refurbished rooms are stylishly decorated with luxurious fabrics. The inn has recently been awarded 5 stars from Visit England. There is a cozy bar and dining room, which features exposed beams and an outside terrace. The Old Swan is a late medieval inn bursting with traditional charm and period features. With a riverside location, the hotel is surrounded by weeping willows and calm waters. Nearby Witney can be reached in 10 minutes, and picturesque Oxford city center is just 30 minutes’ drive. The A40 is just a few minutes away.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.0 for a two-person trip.

    Lovely property and village, the bar downstairs was open late, lots of grounds out back (including a playground), which is great for those with kids! The rooms have been refurbished quite stylishly and the bed was very comfortable.
