Old Swan & Minster Mill

The Old Swan captures the charm of bygone years, throw in a good measure of modern convenience, add to it the laid-back atmosphere of the gastro-pub inspired dining room and log-fired bar and you’ll feel like there’s no place like it. The setting couldn’t be more romantic if it tried.
Next door at the Minster Mill, you’ll find a slightly less posh country-cousin. A bit of an upstart; funky modern rooms, smaller and without the history but all with the familiar style and personal touches that the de Savary Family cram in by the bucket-load. Here on a budget and also offering flexibility for small groups and private parties.
Romantically set in over 60 acres of gardens and orchards surrounded by the remains of the royal hunting forest of Wychwood, the Old Swan and Minster Mill has been at the centre of village life for over 600 years.
Families welcome.
Open all year.
