Stayed there for a night to take a bit of rest before my 7am flight. The self check in was very easy and I had no problem finding my way into my room. The room was cosy and clean, same with the bathroom that was located in front of it. Would definitely come back :)

Wanted to provide that manager Robert and all of staff at the swan hotel where absolutely outstanding, I had some luggage lost from my trip here, all staff provided me support and asking everyday if they could help me in anyway. Was attending to my brother's wedding and had all of my wedding outfits lost with my luggage. Yet again the staff at the swan provided me with support. Would stay here again, food is outstanding. The swan should be rated with the highest rating possible. Thanks for a wonderful stay, my luggage showed up one day before my brother's wedding.

We were not interested in Thaxted.
We were not interested in Thaxted. The reason for our trip was ro visit Duxford IWM. We went to see the museum on the Friday and the Flying Finale on the Saturday.
From the booking.com information Thaxted appeared to be much closer to Duxford that the actuality. We only used the hoted for evening dinner, sleep and breakfast.

The food in the hotel was not good, my lunch had hair in it, there was food all over the floor that hadn’t been cleaned from breakfast, my breakfast was greasy & some of it was cold & we wait 35 minutes for it to arrive.
The staff were very friendly but the bar service was slow.
They wanted to charge me an extra £10 for our dog so I pointed out all the issues & they removed the charge

Thaxted is a wonderful place full of history and lovely people. Go to see Webbs mill, the Guildhall and of course the Parish Church ( which in the past has had and still has a social conscience - when Adam delved and Eve span, who was then the gentleman ? ). Walk around Thaxted and take in the timber framed buildings - you are looking at 14th and 15th Century and later history. Look at those Alms Houses and think of all those people that were able to live there, where otherwise they may not have had a home. You might even get a chance to see the Morris Men - and Women. Gustav Holst was Choir Master at the Church - he wrote the Planet Suite whilst in Thaxted !

Beautiful quaint medieval Town.
Beautiful quaint medieval Town. The Church is absolutely beautiful and the local residents so friendly! Utterly refreshing stay in such a happy Town.
There were lots going on locally during this Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend. The Lighting of the Beacon was spectacular! Highly recommend!
We ate at the Swan and Parishes both were very good and value for money! I would say ideally a car would be good but lovely walks all around!
Stoney Lane is perfect for a short break as a couple. It’s a delightful tiny cottage full of beams and wonky floors, just a few steps from the centre of medieval Thaxted. There is lots to do in the area, and it’s location means that popping out in the locality is very straightforward. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. Communication from the owner was excellent.
The cottage is incredibly charming, and has everything you could need for a stay in Thaxted. The bed is large and comfortable, the kitchenette surprisingly spacious and well appointed and the lounge area very comfortable. The location, right opposite the church, is the perfect place to stay.
