About
The Swan stands on Market Street in the middle of Wotton-under-Edge. The hotel dates it to the seventeenth century, and it was long a coaching inn; by 1907 it was meeting every train at Charfield station. It was extended along Market Street in the mid 1970s. Historic England lists the building Grade II and describes its front as 18th century.
There are 18 en-suite rooms on the hotel's tariff: standard doubles and twins, superior rooms, some of which take a third or fourth guest, and executive rooms including a four-poster. For 2026 a standard room is £145 a night, a superior £165 and an executive £185, with a light breakfast included and a cooked breakfast ordered from the menu. Check-in is from 3pm and check-out by 11am, with early or late for £25 a room when there is space, and wifi is free. There is no lift, and the rooms are on four floors, the highest up six flights, so ask for a first-floor room if stairs are a problem.
The restaurant serves lunch from noon to 3pm on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays, dinner from 5pm to 8.30pm Monday to Saturday, and food from noon to 8pm on Sundays, and there is a bar and a snug. Dogs are welcome for £10 a night. Cars go in the Chipping car park, about 90 m away. The Electric Picture House is a few doors along Market Street, and the walk to Wotton Hill and the Tyndale Monument starts in the town.
