Fodor's Expert Review The Swan

Few inns can boast of a more idyllic setting than this mid-17th-century coaching inn, originally a row of cottages on the banks of the gently flowing River Coln. Inside the charm continues through cozy lounges to the richly decorated guest rooms. Cottage suites come with private gardens; one has a hot tub, another an open fireplace. The colorful Swan Brasserie serves Bibury trout from the local trout farm, or you can indulge in hearty 31-day dry-aged steaks and lemon tart with apple-and-cinnamon ice cream.
