The Experience

The house has all the quirks of a Grade II* listed building – ancient beams and mullioned windows – and it’s smack in the middle of a charming Cotswolds village. Sunny mornings are for coffee in the courtyard and wandering round Sherston’s quaint streets. Plan a countryside walk with the inn’s maps, stroll through the Arboretum, or visit pretty Tetbury – its boutiques and antiques are a 15-minute drive.

Owner Rupert is based in London so local Chris will leave breakfast things in the fridge, as well as logs, kindling and flowers. The kitchen is well-equipped with Le Creuset pans and all you need for cooking for a group, the larder has a good stash of essentials and the village shop is just across the road.

Stop by for an afternoon ale at the fantastic Rattlebone pub and pick up a bottle for dinner from Sherston Wine or Balcony House Cellars on your way home – or drive 30 minutes to Bath or Bristol for the evening.

Reviews

A very comfortable base, in a grade II* former C16th coaching inn, smack back in the middle of a thriving Cotswold village, with everything on your doorstep. What's not to love?
Inspected Becky Sawday's Inspector
Anne, Brussels

Our family had a wonderful time in „The Old Swan“, an old charming Inn with with a super-equipped kitchen and cozy rooms. We did great hikes in the area and cooked together in the evening and felt like at home. Rupert gave us great tips and all communication with him was easy and uncomplicated. Sherston is an ideal base for touring the Cotswolds and its beautiful gardens. We love to come back! 😊

Fabulous cottage !! A decent pub 200 yards down the road, a lovely cafe next door, a co-op over the road should be forget or urgently need something and centrally located for exploring all that The Cotswolds has to offer, what more could you ask for? We loved the village (everyone is very friendly) and had many days out, without having to travel too far. We have already booked to go again next year, as there was so many things we wanted to do, but just didn't have time for. Highly recommended..........

We had a lovely long weekend at Old Swan with my sister and enjoyed several local eateries - we meet her for a gourmet weekend every year. The cottage is a beautiful property and superbly equipped. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you so much.

Very clean well equipped cottage. Rupert provided everything in abundance. Kitchen had everything we needed. There were many places to walk to and the scenery was amazing. The Indian restaurant nearby had many tasty dishes. We also went for a meal to Whatley manor which was very nice.

Location

The neighbourhood

The old coaching inn has a rich past including housing Italian POWs in WW2 and then being a Lloyds bank - Rupert lovingly took it on and updated the inside a year ago. Castle Combe, Bath and Bristol are all within striking distance, Malmesbury with its historic Abbey is just five miles away and Highgrove Royal Gardens are a 10 minute drive. The Cotswolds is teeming with golf clubs, and there’s polo at Cirencester.

Local points of interest from Rupert Lang

  • Westonbirt Arboretum is less than a 10 minute drive or decent walk from the cottage. It is one of the finest tree collections in the world spread over approximately 600 acres, the arboretum is a fantastic day out for the entire family.
  • The historic market town of Tetbury is a perfect place to spend an afternoon. Famous for its extensive range of antique shops, now boasting a wealth of stylish boutiques, charming cafes and the ever popular Highgrove shop.
  • Malmesbury is a pretty hilltop market town steeped in history and offers visitors over 400 listed buildings, a 15th century Market Cross, a ruined 7th century Benedictine abbey and many independent shops, cafes and traditional pubs.
  • As Highgrove is just over 10 minutes from the property, we are the perfect place to stay if you wish to enjoy the Royal gardens. Having taken over 35 years in the making they are now considered some of the most creative and inspiring in the UK.
  • Situated within 30 minutes of Bath, Bristol, Cheltenham and a whole host of beautiful Cotswold towns and villages. The Old Swan has great links to the M4 and M5, making getting to and exploring from effortless.
  • The cottage is in an ideal location to visit the estate and gardens which are home to The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort. It is also a perfect property to stay whilst attending the annual Badminton Horse Trials.
