A warm welcome at The Swan

The hotel is wonderfully welcoming inside too, no matter if you're tucking into quality grub in the pub or snoozing in one of its 20 gorgeously decorated bedrooms. All have modern en-suite bathrooms, plus the usual mod-cons - from complimentary Wi-Fi to fabulous tea and coffee-making facilities so you don't miss your morning cuppa.

The Swan Hotel has recently had an upgrade, so expect lots of lovely details in your plush double or superior room. Some bedrooms are dog friendly too. Simply let the hotel know you're bringing your pooch along in advance and they'll arrange the rest. Arriving into Thaxted by car? You'll have access to a free car park just around the corner from the hotel on Margaret Street.

Thaxted is a quintessential English village nestled in the heart of Essex. As well as a selection of charming places to wine and dine, there are plenty of historic attractions. Seek out the attractive medieval Guildhall in the village centre or pop inside its 14th century parish church. The 17th century Audley House and Gardens are also just up the road, while leafy Hatfield Forest is a brilliant location for a walk.
