We loved our stay at the White Swan Inn and would definitely recommend it. The rooms was spacious. Bed was the most comfortable hotel bed we've ever had. Great location. Breakfast and happy hour are a fantastic bonus!

Fantastic experience. I was hoping for some quality time with my teenage kids, and we really enjoyed staying at the White Swan Inn, complete with an elevator with gates and an excellent breakfast!

We would definitely stay again and the loc...
