A fifteenth-century coaching inn on Sadler Street with 48 rooms and uninterrupted views of Wells Cathedral.
About The Swan Hotel
The Swan Hotel has stood on Sadler Street facing Wells Cathedral since it first opened as a coaching inn in the 1420s, and its position remains its defining feature: several of its 48 rooms look directly across to the cathedral's West Front and the green in front of it.
Rooms are individually designed, ranging from cosy traditional doubles to suites with four-poster beds and roll-top baths, and the hotel's restaurant serves modern British food built around West Country ingredients, with a terrace used for outdoor dining in summer.
As part of the Coaching Inn Group, the Swan combines its historic fabric with contemporary service, on-site parking and function rooms, making it equally suited to a weekend break or a wedding party visiting the cathedral.
