Old Swan & Minster Mill, School Hill, Witney, Oxfordshire

The Old Swan, a romantic 600 year old inn, and adjoining Minster Mill, are set within 65 acres of surrounding gardens and wild flower water meadows on the River Windrush in the Cotswolds. Located a short drive from Oxford, between the picturesque and bustling market towns of Witney and Burford, the setting is sublime. In the historic village of Old Minster, the ruins of Minster Lovell Hall and Medieval Dovecote are just a short walk through the village of honey-coloured thatched cottages fronted by charming gardens. The sixteen luxurious and comfortable bedrooms at the Old Swan are beautifully refurbished with the finest fabrics, stylish linens and contemporary bathrooms. The ambience of the original inn has been maintained throughout, with polished stone floors, lovingly restored antique furnishings, beamed ceilings and log fires in winter. The Dining Rooms and Bar serve delicious gastro-pub inspired dishes which concentrate on seasonal local produce with a modern English twist. Situated alongside the Old Swan, the Minster Mill on the River Windrush is home to a further 40 modern double rooms all overlooking the gardens and Mill Race. The perfect countryside retreat.
