Restaurant and Boutique Inn PREMIER Oliver James New Market Beccles
Restaurant and Boutique Inn The Swan House Boutique Inn and Restaurant is one of Beccles finest establishments. Predating 1540, the beautiful Grade II listed building is set in the very heart of Beccles and is truly part of the town s fabric. During 30 years here, owner and designer Roland Blunk has created something very special, with a fine dining menu in the restaurant, the main room itself complete with a large inglenook fireplace. There s also a private party room and snug bar. Outside you ll discover a most attractive internal courtyard, as well as al-fresco dining in the summer months with views of St Michael s Church that dates back to 1369. Five guest suites can be found on the first and second floors. Each has been individually designed by the owner to stunning effect, with high quality materials and handcrafted bespoke fittings complementing the period features. On the top floor there is the owner s one bedroom en-suite accommodation, as well as an office.
