Four Stars/Two AA Rosette Restaurant
The Swan dates back to the 15th Century when it played a key role
in Lavenham's wool trade. Today it is a quintessential English country
hotel and restaurant, proud of its achievement of an AA four star
82% rating and two AA Rosettes. Ancient oak beams and inglenook
fireplaces blend beautifully with rich furnishings and fabrics to
create the perfect ambiance for rest and relaxation. The historic
Old Bar boasts a wonderful collection of memorabilia, including
a wall signed by British and American airmen stationed at Lavenham
Airfield during World War II.
The
Swan is a wonderful place in which to celebrate a variety of special
occasions, including romantic weddings, christenings and family
get-togethers.
Each of the Swan's 45 enchanting bedrooms boast a mix of rich fabrics
and contemporary furnishings co-ordinated in soft and mellow colours.
All of our bedrooms have been refurbished and designed by local
designer, Roger Balmer.
Named
after local Suffolk villages, many of our bedrooms are original
in style with luxurious fabrics and furniture. From classic double
rooms to mezzanine suites and four poster beds, they are sure to
delight. Oak beams and original Medieval wall paintings abound and
you will take great delight wandering through the corridors and
discovering the truly original character of The Swan. Each bedroom
has an en-suite bathroom, plasma TV screen and tea and coffee making
facilities.
Guests
can relax in the welcoming bar, or enjoy a traditional afternoon
tea in the charming lounge, furnished with comfortable sofas and
fresh flowers, while the courtyard gardens make a pleasant setting
for an aperitif on warm summer evenings prior to enjoying the finest
food in the award-winning restaurant.
The
picturesque village of Lavenham is an ideal base from which to explore
the many attractions in Suffolk, including the historic houses of
Kentwell Hall, Melford Hall and Gainsborough House. Other highlights
in the area include the beautiful Suffolk Heritage Coast, and Dedham
and Flatford Mill, which greatly inspired the painter John Constable.
Lavenham, itself, once the region's centre for the wool trade, boasts
an array of perfectly-preserved half-timbered buildings, many painted
in the traditional Suffolk pink, and is today one of the most visited
villages in Suffolk. Of particular note is the 16th century Corpus
Christi Guildhall and the Perpendicular church of St Peter and St
Paul with a large nave and tall flint tower. Special offers are
available throughout the year offering excellent value for money.
