usa > Accommodation > Swan Hotel, Bibury, Cotswolds
The Swan Hotel is an enchanting 17th century former coaching inn sitting in the heart of Bibury on the banks of the River Coln. This hidden corner of England is the perfect retreat for unpretentious comfort, a friendly atmosphere, wonderful food and fine wine.
Bibury, nestled in the hills of the Cotswolds, first earned its title of 'the most beautiful village in England' from the artist and craftsman, William Morris (1834-96). It is not hard to see why. From whichever direction you approach this village, it exudes charm from every house, tree and meadow. A superb spot from which to explore the Cotswolds.
The hotel has 18 individually furnished bedrooms, each
with their own lavish bathroom, and some with large Jacuzzi baths. Most rooms overlook the beautiful River Coln. The rooms all have colour televisions, direct dial telephones, tea and coffee-making facilities and en-suite bathrooms with Molton Brown luxury bath, shower and skincare products.
The Swan Hotel has always been an excellent venue for modern European-style cuisine and fine wines. Experience culinary delights at the Gallery Restaurant, a relaxed, romantic room decorated with oil paintings by the Dartmoor artist Katherine Lightfoot. Be tempted with a diverse choice of dishes, prepared from the freshest local produce, with seasonal twists redolent of your countryside location.
