It is in the heart of the little town which makes walking to everything easy. The staff were very nice and love the hotel as much as we did. No elevator for those that over pack!

Stayed at The Black Swan for an overnight trip. Location excellent, lovely walks from the door. Took our dog, were provided with a room close to an outside door which was great. Room very clean and spacious. Bed was comfortable. Quiet room. Staff at the hotel were lovely and made us feel welcome. Lovely sunny beer garden which we sat in and enjoyed our evening meal with drinks. Parking was tight and limited but again we were lucky to have got a space when we arrived. We were shocked about the 3 star food hygiene rating and this put us off wanting to eat here. However we enjoyed our meals after deciding we should try. The kettle in the room was also full of limescale. These are the only two faults I could complain about. I’m hoping they are working towards improving there scores on the door and will change the kettle in the room (42) Thankyou for our stay.

Could be better for the money

Seemed understaffed and stressy. Staff quite rude at times. Breakfast was slow, and overcooked/dry. Room lacked basics such as bar of soap, flannel, or bottle of water. Not cool for £215 room. Room was comfy though, location excellent, and the building quaint and excellent. Would have given a higher score if staff had been nicer and room had more to it. Not a luxury hotel experience.
