The Black Swan

Delightful decor, superb service and fabulous food. So many beautiful touches, such as the swan biscuits on the refreshment tray, organic bathroom toiletries or the attentiveness of the staff. We intend to make an annual visit to this very special B&B.

The Black Swan is well established won many awards, and obviously has loyal guests who stay and dine there. We enjoyed this friendly comfortable country inn in a beautiful tranquil village well situated to tour this scenic area. We chose a room at the rear of the hotel which offers perhaps more privacy and peace. Well organised for those travelling with pets, it has an excellent kitchen, lovely pub, outdoor area for drinks and we met delightful fellow guests. Only quibble, ordered the menu specials on Fathers Day evening, obviously what had been served at lunch so not great. Would return here.

This small hotel & pub is run by people who know what they are doing and care! Its welcoming, warm, helpful and relaxing. It offers good value.. Its good to see the owners and the team wanting to make sure visitors are comfortable and enjoying their stay. This is not a boutique hotel, thank goodness. The food tastes as it should. The rooms are comfortable, the pub has plenty of locals who visit and eat there. Easy to get too, well placed for lots of interesting places, walks or daily trips. I'm so pleased I've found the Black Swan. I will return. My thanks to everyone there.
