Cosy, rustic and welcoming, idyllic English inn The Swan sits pretty just south of Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire. The feather in its cap is an open-all-day mod-British restaurant – steps from your bed – where you can start your mornings with hearty egg-based dishes, dip back in for leisurely lunches and while away evenings after long country strolls. The Swan’s no slouch on drinks either – Aperol spritzes and espresso martinis are on tap alongside English lagers and cask ales. We suggest you migrate post-haste to this serene countryside stay.
