The Swan Hotel  

Nestling in the Suffolk countryside between Bury St. Edmunds and Sudbury, The Swan Hotel & Spa sits in historic Lavenham. Minutes from Little Hall Lavenham, Corpus Christi Guildhall, the Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul and Kentwell Hall, it’s a 4-star country hotel that’s family-friendly and steeped in local history.

Housed in a 15th-century wool merchant’s building, original oak beams and inglenook fireplaces meet rich fabrics and curated memorabilia. The hotel has 45 guestrooms with flat-screen TVs and a mix of historic charm and modern comforts. AA 4 Red Star rated, two AA Rosettes and Visit England Large Hotel of the Year 2013 give a clear nod to quality.

Pamper yourself in the on-site spa with massages and body treatments, unwind in the historic old bar with its signed wartime wall, and enjoy complimentary wireless internet and free self-parking. Expect calm Suffolk mornings and cozy, characterful corners throughout the property.

Three meeting rooms and wedding services make this a solid venue for events and conferences, backed by complimentary high-speed Wi‑Fi for delegates.

Dine across four restaurants and a coffee shop/café, with a cosy bar/lounge for drinks. With two AA Rosettes to its name, the hotel offers award-winning dining in a classic country setting.
