I was initially nervous to book a hotel on-line that no one I know had ever heard of or stayed at. What a wonderful surprise. The rooms are a nice size, the decor pleasant and the breakfast and dining area superb. I highly recommend the White Swan. more

The Joie de Vivre hotel website recommended the White Swan Inn based on my hotel preferences.
