About the business
The White Swan Hotel is a living piece of Stratford history. Our stunning half-timbered building has welcomed travelers since the 15th century – when you stay with us, you’ll literally sleep under ancient oak beams that have witnessed over five hundred years of stories. Yet while our foundations are old, our approach to comfort is thoroughly modern. Each of our 41 bedrooms has been beautifully refurbished (thanks to the Fuller's brewery family who restored the property) to combine historic character with contemporary luxury. Expect ultra-comfortable beds, elegant bathrooms, air conditioning, and thoughtful touches like homemade biscuits waiting on the tea tray. Every creaky floorboard and antique furnishing in our halls is paired with free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs – the best of old and new. Downstairs, our pub and dining room are the heart of the hotel. Adorned with vintage chandeliers and a grand fireplace, The White Swan’s restaurant serves delicious fresh food all day. We’re particularly proud of our seasonal British menu and, of course, the wide range of Fuller's award-winning ales on tap (after all, we are a Fuller's hotel). Locals love to pop in for a pint or Sunday lunch, and you’ll often find the place buzzing with friendly conversation – it’s a genuine slice of Stratford life. As locals ourselves, we cherish the town’s heritage and we’re enthusiastic ambassadors for everything Stratford has to offer. Our staff will happily chat with you about Shakespeare or point you to a lovely riverside walk. Staying at The White Swan isn’t just a room for the night – it’s joining a tradition of hospitality that’s been at the core of Stratford-upon-Avon for centuries. We can’t wait to share that rich tapestry of history and warmth with you.
