Our 16th century pub in the honey-stone village of Ascott-under-Wychwood is a stylish mix of rural chic and professional service.

With wooden beams and floor, eye-catching art, and what The Daily Telegraph calls, ‘a slightly funky sense of formality’.

There’s a very attractive private dining room down a winding corridor that seats up to 20. Meanwhile, outside you’ll find an delightful terrace garden with a wisteria-clad pergola. In short, the Swan offers all the character you hope to find in the heart of the Cotswolds.

It’s a great big, newly updated, spanking bloody excellent Cotswolds pub, I mean that as about the biggest compliment I can muster.

How many pubs-with-rooms also come with a sommelier? Not many, but then everything takes a surprising turn in this attractive former coaching inn.

The food is undoubtedly the main event at The Swan. Obviously hugely popular with the locals, the restaurant was buzzing on a Friday evening.
