Swan Hotel

Set amid the shops on Alton's main street, the historical Swan Hotel dates from 1554. It offers a free car park, full English breakfasts in the modern restaurant, and free Wi-Fi.

Swan Hotel is less than 2 miles from Jane Austen’s Cottage in Chawton. The cottage is where 'Sense and Sensibility' and 'Pride and Prejudice' were written.

The restaurant serves a varied menu until 22:00, every day. The bar and lounge have open fireplaces and offer bar meals and real ales.

Comfortable bedrooms come with a TV, tea and coffee facilities, and a CD player.

The Watercress Train Line runs from New Alresford to Alton and is home to Thomas the Tank Engine.
