Housed in the charming village of Thaxted is the traditional Swan Hotel, occupying a centuries-old coaching inn. Local attractions consist of quaint old world architecture, including the local church and the Tower Windmill, but the main attraction of Thaxted is slow pace of life. Guests can unwind in front of the Swan’s roaring log fire in the winter months or curl up with a good book in one of the hotel’s modern guest rooms. Accessible via road or rail, the hotel is just eight miles from Newport Station.
