First stay at the Black Swan
A one night stay but will be back. Room was spacious and the bed was huge. Bathroom was clean and the toilet was fitted with soft close lids. I just hate lid slams at daft O clock in the morning. The reception staff were polite friendly and helpful. We ate an evening meal in the hotel, fortunately we ate early, as there was a lot of diners that night and the staff were struggling. The food was cooked to order we enjoyed the pie and the steamed pudding. Excellent chips. My boss had the pineapple and coconut sweet which was different and tasty. Would happily recommend the hotel.

Great location. Staff very good. Breakfast great. Carpets throughout could do with cleaning or replacing. Dogs throughout which was fine for me. My partner is allergic and reacted in the room as if dogs had been in there.
