If you’re planning to spend the festive season away from home, where better to enjoy traditional celebrations than in a traditional English inn?
Our hotels are located in the most beautiful parts of the country and there are over 50 fascinating and atmospheric properties to choose from. Treat yourself to the perfect English Christmas – with all the trimmings – courtesy of Old English Inns.
Then why not come back and sample another of our inns to see in the New Year?
Raise a glass to 2012 and then stay the night in the comfort of Old English Inns.
Our guests include many people of sense and sensibility - that is to say, devotees of Jane Austen, who make their pilgrimage to her cottage in the Chawton area of Alton during their stay with us.
The cottage now is a popular tourist attraction and museum dedicated to Jane's life and work.
Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice were written here. But you don't have to be a fan of Jane Austen to enjoy the pretty village of Chawton or the attractions of the Swan Hotel.
Situated in the main high street of this pretty market town the Swan Hotel is a beautifully kept & presented Old English Hotel.
Once inside you'll discover a popular contemporary restaurant with eye-catching modern furniture on a striking mahogany floor.
A comfortable lounge, ideal for a break from the shopping or sightseeing & a great meeting place for family and friends.
The Swan Hotel's 36 fully en-suite rooms, with colour TV, tea & coffee making facilities and a telephone also include a romantic 4 poster bedroom.
The Swan Hotel, dating back to 1554, still retains many of its original features. The intimate restaurant has a varied menu of well cooked dishes, which is open for lunch and dinner. It also has a reasonably priced wine list. The bar and lounge are rich in character, with open fireplaces, and filling bar meals and real ales.
