Meetings
Located just 15 miles from Oxford, the Old Swan is a charming country pub nestled in 65 acres of idyllic grounds in the Cotswold village of Minster Lovell. The quintessentially English inn is full of charm and history, offering a relaxed atmosphere and delicious food.
The Old Swan provides a stunning retreat in a tranquil, creative, uplifting environment. The pub offers two meeting rooms that are fully equipped with AV equipment, high-speed WiFi, Nespresso machines, and natural daylight.
Day delegate and residential retreats are available. Alternatively, please contact us to discuss your requirements with our team, and we will create a bespoke package to suit your needs. Your dedicated events coordinator will be on hand to create a seamless experience for you, from the initial enquiry and preparing the contracts to liaising with the necessary departments, greeting you on the day and post-meeting follow-up.
Working-style lunches can be comfortably served in your meeting room. Alternatively, take a break and enjoy lunch in the relaxed environment of the Lovell Room. Take your breaks or syndicates on the outdoor terrace within the glorious, rural grounds on summer days.
