Late checkout might just be the most underrated luxury in travel.
Because really — who wants to wake up to an alarm on vacation? 
You’ve just gotten into vacation mode — mornings are slower, coffee tastes better, and then… bam. Suddenly it’s 9:45 a.m., and you’re stuffing socks into your suitcase like it’s a timed event. We don’t like that feeling either.
That’s why we’re offering something a little sweeter this summer: Complimentary late checkout for all stays from July 28 through August 28, 2025, when you mention our Sleep Late, Savor Summer campaign at booking.
What’s So Great About Late Checkout?
Everything.
More time to sleep in.
More time to enjoy breakfast.
One more moment on the porch with your book and a bottomless cup of coffee.
At The Whistling Swan Inn we believe slow mornings make for better memories.
That’s why during the Sleep Late, Savor Summer campaign, you’ll get an extra hour to soak up every last drop of summer — on us.
Late Checkout Added Perks
