Our guests include many people of sense and sensibility - that is to say devotees of Jane Austen who make their pilgrimage to her cottage in the Chawton area of Alton during their stay with us.

The cottage now is a popular tourist attraction and museum dedicated to Janes life and work.

Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice were written here.

But you dont have to be a fan of Jane Austen to enjoy the pretty village of Chawton or the attractions of the Swan Hotel.Situated in the main high street of this pretty market town the Swan Hotel is a beautifully kept and presented Old English Hotel.Once inside youll discover a popular contemporary restaurant with eye-catching modern furniture on a striking mahogany floor.

A comfortable lounge ideal for a break from the shopping or sightseeing and a great meeting place for family and friends.
