The Swan sits in one of the Cotswolds’ most photographed villages. Overlooking the gentle flow of the River Coln and surrounded by honey-coloured stone cottages, this former 17th-century coaching inn blends heritage character with refined comfort. Known for its idyllic setting near Arlington Row, it is the perfect choice for romantic breaks, walking holidays, and food-led countryside escapes. Its idyllic setting means you are surrounded by rolling countryside, scenic walking routes, and postcard-perfect villages at every turn.

It is especially celebrated for its row of weavers’ cottages and for this landmark old inn ‒ today a wonderful homely-but-chic establishment.”
