Rose & Crown Hotel - A historic 1840s property with heritage gardens, boutique dining, and Swan Valley access

The 4-star Rose & Crown Hotel occupies a National Trust-listed 1841 Georgian building on 1 hectares in Guildford's Swan Street, featuring 28 motel-style rooms with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and tea/coffee facilities.
