About The Swan at Forest Row

Free on-site parking is a rare enough perk that it's worth mentioning first, and The Swan at Forest Row offers it to every guest arriving at its Lewes Road address. This is a straightforward pub-hotel setup, with a bar and restaurant at the heart of the building and a garden with outdoor seating for quieter moments.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, drinks available in-room, and family rooms for those travelling with children, who are also catered for with kids' meals in the restaurant. Breakfast is served on site, WiFi is free throughout, and reception operates around the clock. Pets are welcome, making this an easy choice for guests who don't want to leave the dog behind.

Forest Row sits within easy reach of Ashdown Forest, the Bluebell Railway and Sheffield Park and Garden, giving guests plenty to fill a day whether they fancy walking, a heritage train ride or a garden visit. Closer to the hotel there's a golf course nearby along with other pubs, bars and restaurants, and walking routes straight from the door.
