The Swan dates back to the late 14th century and has been welcoming guests from all walks of life ever since. Today it is a family-run pub offering fine food and drink in a relaxing atmosphere. There is a haycart arch across the road with the pubs name on. There are many paintings on the walls depicting the local area. Many of them were in lieu of payment for a room. This practise stopped in 1920. There are low roofs in the corridors in the hotel area. Edward Elgar (music composer) was a regular visitor. Hubert Parry (who wrote Jerusalem) also stayed here. There are quotes from Rudyard Kiplings (who also stayed here) Jungle Book adorn the beams in the bar. The ancient order of Frothblowers were formed here in 1924, their motto was Lubrication in Moderation.

They raised money for needy children, but this ended when the prohibition movement gained influence in Parliament.

The Swan has 12 en-suite rooms located in the main building and four cottage rooms in the old stable block. Many rooms retain original features and are decorated in a traditional style.
