A warm welcome awaits you….
Whether you are looking for the ideal location for an overnight stay, or to host a conference, a wedding or a family celebration, The Three Swans Hotel offers the perfect choice.
The former 16th century coaching inn blends traditional hospitality with the comfort of a modern hotel and has been providing excellent food, drink and warm hospitality for over 500 hundred years. The hotel is perfectly placed in the centre of the historic market town of Market Harborough and has it’s own large residents car park. There are easy links to local motorways and major road networks, and it is close to the town’s railway station which has mainline services to London and the North.
It is as comfortable, welcoming and elegant today as it was in its coaching heyday, when visited by King Charles 1 the day before the famous battle of Naseby in 1645. In 1688, Queen Anne, whilst still Princess of Denmark, stayed in Market Harborough, when the hotel provided lodgings for her and her considerable entourage, including the Earl of Dorset and the Bishop of London.
The earliest reference found for the hotel, makes it clear just how old it’s association as an inn is, as it is referred to in the will of Richard Cade, dated 27th November 1517. Published records show that the hotel was the pick-up point and stop over for the prestigious thrice weekly London coach run and postal service as early as 1765.
The elaborate gallows sign which overhangs the High Street is considered to be one of the finest in England. Certainly the wrought iron work is a splendid example of craftsmanship which dates back to the 18th century. The original inn dates from 1517 when it was known as ‘Ye Sygnet of Swanne’.
