About The Swan Hotel 0118 971 4700

The Swan Hotel at Lavenham takes up an idyllic setting in the eponymous Suffolk town. It is beautiful to look at, with tradition and history seeping through its walls and furnishings. Dating back as far as the 14th century, the Swan brings together three houses, so it is fairly small, fitting in perfectly with the town in which it resides. There are so many features that make this striking hotel such a stylish and attractive place in which to stay, including a timbered exterior and wooden beams, log fires during the winter, or maybe the French doors opening onto a courtyard garden.

Found on the High Street in the Lavenham town centre, the Swan Hotel lies amidst the Suffolk countryside, between Bury to the north and Sudbury to the south. The hotel is around 40 minutes from the lovely Cambridge and an hour or so from Stansted Airport. There is much rolling countryside to explore in the vicinity as well as beautiful little villages and a coastline to the east.

Suffolk’s Swan at Lavenham Hotel dates back to the beginning of the 15th century, while some parts even go to the end of the 14th century. Later on the houses were turned into an inn. This was a reputable establishment by the middle of the 17th century. In the 1800s the property had become an important trading post and it had stables that were suitable for no fewer than 50 horses. At this stage of history the Swan was known as The Capital Old – established Free House and Posting House. During the Second World War members of the RAF and the AAF stationed in Lavenham often frequented the bar at the Swan. There are various items from this time that bring to mind this fact, such as signatures on the walls and cap badges.

In total there are 45 bedrooms at the Swan at Lavenham Hotel Suffolk. There are several different room categories at the hotel, culminating in four-poster rooms and suites. For dining meanwhile, there is a restaurant and a brasserie where visitors can enjoy some tasty food and drink. If you’re looking to hold an event, such as a board meeting or a wedding reception for example, there are three facilities for such purposes, each of which is fairly small.
