What guests say
9.1 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 39 guest reviews
Guests overwhelmingly praise the Swift House Inn for its exceptional breakfast, friendly and attentive staff, and charming historic character within easy walking distance of town. The on-site restaurant Jessica's earns repeated compliments for both dinner and breakfast. Minor complaints include the detached parking lot, lack of in-room refrigerators, stairs in the historic building, and some worn carpeting, but these are consistently described as small issues against an otherwise outstanding stay.
