Beautiful setting.

Not many places in the world are like a medieval gate, that is for sure!

Amazing place

Amazing place to stay, full of history. The accomodation is well laid out and is very comfortable. Having stopped at the other gatehouse earlier in the year this was massively larger and would suit a multiple night stay. Even with the external noise outside it's relatively quiet inside. Would be good if there was a history of the building available for visitors to read.....all in all though well worth booking

Wonderful, spacious, well equipped self-contained accommodation in an old tower

We loved the sense of space. A really nice kitchen on the ground floor, complete with a coffee machine. A large, relaxing lounge with a smart TV on the first floor. And then a very big bedroom, with en-suite bathroom, on the second floor. Great value for money, and a much nicer experience than stopping in an anonymous hotel.

About the host

Hosted by Host

Swanswell Gate was one of 12 original medieval city wall gates, and is one of only two remaining (the other being Cook Street Gate).

The building was completed around 1440 and was then known as Priory Gate, having originally served as the entrance to the prior’s land. Remains of Coventry’s city walls can be found in the adjacent Lady Herbert’s Garden.
