The Black Swan, nestled in the heart of Henley- in-Arden, has opened following an extensive refurbishment. Heartwood Inns (formerly The White Brasserie Company) has lovingly restored The Black Swan’s charming Tudor- fronted Grade II listed building, ensuring it retains its original features. Its traditional character has been seamlessly blended with a new oak-framed extension, housing a bright, contemporary garden dining area.

The Black Swan hopes to become the go-to place for locals and visitors alike, with an abundance of independent boutiques, bookshops and antique shops nearby, providing a charming place for a pre-wedding getaway.
