My husband and I spent a night here in early 2011 as a short weekend break to escape from London and spend some time together. We travelled by train and the B&B is only a short walk from the train station, which was great. Our host was really welcoming and the room was delightful, with the host’s own artwork on... More

My other half and I had a lovely weekend in pretty Tunbridge Wells staying in Swan Cottage. For one thing, the cottage is ideally located for the centre of town and the high street- I can't imagine it took us more than twenty minutes to walk anywhere. David (who runs the B&B) was charming and friendly, and more than happy... More

As a solo traveller I had a wonderful stay at Swan Cottage over the New Year period. The single room is cosy with everything you need laid on; the bathroom is to die for. The paintings bring a special vibrancy to this very special guest house. The attention David (the owner) pays to each detail makes for a great welcome.... More

Cosy warm room for one on first floor with sole use of seperate bath, shower, basin and shower. Loved the extra touch of bunch of grapes and a chocolate as well as the usual tea and coffee and Tv facilities. Close to the town centre and a reasonable foody pub. Perfect english breakfast with tasty sausages and bacon from the... More

We stayed one night at Swan Cottage, David was extremely helpful and welcoming, even letting us use his garage to park the car. The room is a good size, well furnished and decorated individually with a comfortable king size bed, good linen, very clean bathroom with excellent shower. Try and get directions before you attempt Tunbridge Wells high street in... More

We really enjoyed our stay here. The hospitality was very welcoming with the right amount of privacy. The rooms were lovely with thoughtful little touches such as the grapes by the bedside. I stayed in the single room. Please don't be put off by the fact that it isn't an en-suite. The bathroom (for my private use) was only next... More

My wife and I stayed one night here as part of a much longer overseas trip this year. We booked into a double bed room with ensuite. Hard not to simply use superlatives for Swan Cottage and its owner David Gurdon. The B&B is very well located near the centre of Royal Tunbridge Wells in a quaint and historic location.... More

If you need to stay in Tunbridge Wells and don't want a hotel look no further. Not usually a fan of B and B's but this one is different. Exceedingly clean and comfortable, quiet yet very central and with an excellent breakfast and charming, informative and friendly owner. What more can you ask for?

What can I say? Great B&B! If you stay in Royal Tunbridge Wells you can’t miss this one! I really enjoyed my staying here. We had some trouble of finding the B&B, because it’s located in a small street near the town centre. Luckily for us, guest keeper David was working outside and showed us the way. Besides that, location... More

Stayed here with a friend for one night between Christmas and New Year, David is a wonderful host and cooks a fab breakfast! The cottage is adorable and the room beautiful! We visited the Royal day spa, and it was a very short walk to and from. The cottage is very central and yet extremely quiet (we couldn't work this... More
