About The Swan – A Columbo Edition Hotel
The Swan occupies an eighteenth-century building on the banks of the River Great Ouse in Littleport, a small town around six miles north of Ely. Deliberately kept intimate, the hotel has just five luxury bedrooms, each with river views, making it feel closer to a private house party than a conventional hotel.
Food and drink is a major part of the appeal, with The Brasserie offering a fine-dining menu built around local ingredients, Smoke n' Spice serving grill and barbecue dishes, and the more informal Riverside Bar opening onto a waterside terrace. Guests can also arrange fishing or boat trips directly from the hotel's own stretch of river.
Its position a short drive from Ely suits visitors who want cathedral sightseeing by day and a quieter, riverside setting to return to in the evening, with Cambridge also within easy reach for a day trip.
