The Swan – A Columbo Edition Hotel

Set in a large village in East Cambridgeshire, in the Isle of Ely, The Swan is a stunning 18th century boutique hotel surrounded by the tranquil waters of the River Great Ouse, providing a relaxing escape into the countryside of Britain.

The Hotel offers 5 modern luxury bedrooms with various amenities, overseeing the River Great Ouse along with locally sourced, fresh upscaled food in “The Brasserie”, a Bar & Grill in “Smoke n’ Spice”, a Pub in the “Riverside Bar” and a stunning Terrace on the river allowing you to completely relax, unwind and experience true hospitality surrounded by Nature.

As we are literally on the River Great Ouse, you have plenty of choice from a spot of fishing the river, a boat trip or to just completely relax and put your feet up, sip on one of our sumptuous cocktails whilst enjoying the views and tranquillity of the water.

The Swan is only 20 miles from Cambridge town, offering endless opportunities for sightseeing, including The Prestigious Cambridge University, The Gin Laboratory and the Fitzwilliam Museum. The Swan is also ideally situated near a number of attractions around Ely, nestling under the big skies of the Fen countryside, in the shadow of its magnificent cathedral, widely acknowledged as one of the wonders of the medieval world.
