Step Inside The Swan at Streatley
Just an hour outside London, set along the banks of the River Thames in Berkshire, The Swan at Streatley offers a countryside retreat designed for slowing down, reconnecting, and enjoying the simple pleasures of great food, restful bedrooms, and riverside wellness.
Today, as part of Coppa Club, The Swan has been thoughtfully reimagined as a modern escape, a place where guests come to eat and drink well, unwind in nature, and experience one of the region’s key destinations for a relaxed stay outside the city.
Whether visiting for a weekend break, a long lunch, or an overnight stay, The Swan blends historic character with contemporary comfort in one of Berkshire’s most picturesque settings.
A Historic Riverside Destination
The Swan’s story stretches back to the late 1600s, when it first welcomed travellers as a coaching inn along the Thames Valley route between London and Oxford.
Throughout the eighteenth century, it became an important stopping point for merchants, boatmen, and visitors crossing the river between Streatley and neighbouring Goring. As Victorian leisure travel grew, visitors arrived by train and boat to explore the countryside, establishing the area as one of England’s early holiday destinations.
In the 1970s, the hotel entered a vibrant chapter under British entertainer Danny La Rue, becoming a lively and much-loved Thames destination. A sensitive restoration in the early 2010s later transformed The Swan into a countryside retreat while preserving its historic character.
Today, guests continue to arrive for the same reasons they always have: rest, hospitality, and the timeless appeal of life beside the river.
