Kensington Mums reviews*
The Swan at Streatley
If you are after a tranquil escape with picturesque views then The Swan at Steatley is your go to family destination. Located on a wide stretch of the River Thames in the Chiltern hills, The Swan at Streatley is a converted 17th century inn with a terrace right at the water’s edge. We got to stay in guest room overlooking the gardens and water meadows, while enjoying indoor yoga, go paddle boarding, head off with a picnic, or just watch the river go by. This is the ultimate family countryside retreat.

Family Bedrooms with a view
We had a large family double room with river views. and every aspect of the room was just as enjoyable as the looks. The rooms are all beautifully appointed with every touch of comfort you could wish for. The kids absolutely loved the little room overlooking the River Thames, it was their corner to play and read their books quietly in the corner. This was my favourite, waking up to serene and picturesque views. Just what I needed for a little bit of self care and family time.
The shower room was simple to use and hot water was just amazing in the cold winter nights. There was complimentary shampoo and conditioner in the room which smelled divine. Some rooms have baths as well as showers, if this is important to you, please let staff know when you book.

Activities at the Swan at Streatley
We enjoyed lots of walking around the River Thames in the Chiltern hills, with lovely views and we even got to see Swans around. The kids liked sitting around the Summer house, while us parents enjoyed cosy nights in the library around the fire. The Hotel has other rooms including the Terrace, bar and snug. I was also invited to enjoy an indoor yoga class in the morning, a great way to move your body. You can also go paddle-boarding, hire a boat and go for a picnic weather permitting.
