The Swan Inn - Swinbrook

We had a laid-back lunch with delicious food and prompt, yet unobtrusive service.

We stopped by the Swan Inn one night to have dinner on a recent trip through the Cotswolds.

The pub is beautiful and offers excellent service and amazing food. I would definitely recommend it. Ver carta

Decided to book for Sunday lunch as down near Malmsbury for a party and having stayed in The Swan Inn's sister establishment The King's Head in
