Accommodation Description:
An ideal base for Business and Leisure Guests. Situated in the Heart of Alton, you do not need a Taxi or Bus to access the Towns local facilities.Our guests include many people of sense and sensibility - that is to say, devotees of Jane Austen, who make their pilgrimage to her cottage in the Chawton area of Alton during their stay with us

The cottage now is a popular tourist attraction and museum dedicated to Janes life and work. Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice were written here. But you dont have to be a fan of Jane Austen to enjoy the pretty village of Chawton or the attractions of the Swan Hotel
