Letting Accommodation consists of 14 bedrooms and large car park. The hotel is a highly popular town centre hospitality business in an historic Grade II listed building, a fundamental part of the town's business and commercial life. Owned since 2001 the owners are now looking to retire and currently does Bed and Breakfast, functions, meetings and wedding parties. The property's two bars and divisible function facility make The Swan a highly flexible venue which offers a wide range of seating capacity from 50 to over 100 people. The Piano Bar gives another 40 covers and is generally used as a private function area; however, this is an area that should be considered as a growth opportunity by making this a facility that is open throughout the week.
