About The Swan Inn

Rowberrow sits among the rolling farmland and wooded hills of the Mendips, and it's here, in the heart of Winscombe's countryside, that The Swan Inn makes its home as a traditional Somerset pub with rooms. The surrounding lanes are made for walking and cycling, with the limestone drama of Cheddar Gorge and the underground passages of Wookey Hole both within easy reach.

The inn itself keeps things simple with five bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, and accessible rooms are available for those who need them. Guests can expect free on-site parking, a 24 hour reception, and drinks available in the room, along with breakfast to start the day. Pets are welcome, so the trip needn't mean leaving anyone behind.

Downstairs, the bar and restaurant serve as the natural hub of the place, in keeping with its village-pub character, and there are further pubs, restaurants and eateries nearby for anyone who fancies a change of scene. A golf course sits within reach too, adding another option for guests looking to fill their days beyond the gorge and the caves.
