Character, comfort and a hint of mischief

Once a coaching inn for restless travellers, The Bull & Swan now welcomes guests with roaring fires, hearty food and a generous pour of local spirit. Thoughtfully restored rooms offer an easy mix of comfort and character - ideal for weekend stays or a night well spent after dinner.


A place where heritage meets humour, it’s as suited to a Sunday pint as it is to a relaxed escape in the heart of Stamford.
