“When Victor Buchanan took over this 16th-century inn from his parents in the mid-1990s, he refurbished it with imagination. The new bedrooms, fashioned from former workshops, in restful colours and with slate floors, are contemporary without being bland, with elegant touches such as tall glass bedside lamps and Perspex armchairs. The Club Room is an inviting modern version of the residents' lounge, with pool table, daily papers, magazines and honesty bar. There's also a convivial wood-panelled bar/sitting room and restaurant serving superior bistro food.”

“Whether you've booked one of our bedrooms or are simply visiting to dine in our restaurant, from the moment you walk through the door of our traditional 16th-century coaching inn you'll feel right at home. Our aim is to keep things simple and offer you the opportunity to relax and let us take the strain. From our stunning yet relaxed restaurant with its stone flagged floors and roaring fire in the winter which is known for its fantastic food from fresh local ingredients, to our wonderfully comfortable rooms, we offer a money back guarantee that you'll love The White Swan Inn... In our humble opinion the surrounding scenery is spectacular, the accommodation is luxurious, our food and wine is amongst the best in Britain and The White Swan team is about the friendliest you'll ever come across. Pick a price that suits you and come and see us soon!”
