All soft pastels, country comfort and dashes of colour, the Swan sits beside the River Windrush in tiny Swinbrook, 3 miles east of Burford. Six cosy, elegant rooms in a former barn overlook orchards – the plush top-floor suite is perfect for families – while five delightful rooms in the newer riverside cottage have a more contemporary style. There’s an excellent restaurant.
Downton Abbey fans: this is the pub where Lady Sybil and Branson planned their elopement.
