Property details

A stylish stay at a revamped 18th-century country inn with an award-winning restaurant in the market town of Stafford – including breakfast and dinner options. Refundable hotel - book with confidence
  • A coaching inn with history: You get the best of both worlds at The Swan Hotel, located in the heart of Stafford, the market town rich in history and heritage. This 18th-century building has played host to some rather famous guests over the years, from fugitives in the Jacobite rebellion who were concealed in a priest hole to the likes of Charles I and Charles Dickens.

  • Old meets new: Combining period architecture with cosmopolitan design, you’re met with a pleasing decor in the guestrooms – all of which are beautifully appointed and very homely. 

  • Award-winning dining: Dining in the award-winning Brasserie is an extremely relaxed yet refined affair; not least for the contemporary British and Staffordshire dishes created with fresh and seasonal ingredients. Also worthy of your attention is the bar for its local ales and beers, expertly-crafted cocktails and soft drinks, and the on-site coffee house for its delicious brews, cakes, muffins, and pastries.

How to get there

The Swan Hotel is a five-minute drive from Stafford Railway Station. Subject to availability, The Swan Hotel offers car parking to guests at the rear of the property hotel (accessible via Mill Street).
