We were staying here for one night enroute to Scotland and it made a very nice start to our holiday. The room was very clean and comfortable, with plenty of hot water for showering. We really enjoyed the food, which was all home cooked. The breakfast was lovely, with plenty of choice and the service was impeccable. Extremely friendly and lovely people. I would definitely recommend staying here.

We do find it difficult to get a dairy free alternative to milk wherever we stay, it's not only this particular hotel. The further north we travel, the less choice we have.

A pleasant enough room, if not particularly spacious, but much as you would expect in an old building such as this: at least the pub has kept its character. The host, Jackie, was welcoming and cheerful and all of the staff that we encountered were similarly helpful. The pub had a good number of locals in on the Sunday that we were there - always a good sign. The evening meal was tasty and well presented, although the menu was a bit heavy on dishes with cream sauces of one sort or another. Good, imaginative, well cooked food though. Breakfast was good, with a selection that should suit most tastes. A walk around the village revealed plenty of old, characterful buildings, several of which are working farms. All in all an enjoyable stay.

No complaints at all.

Had a superb 2 night break. Owners are very friendly and eager to ensure your comfort and satisfaction. Spotlessly clean and well furnished bedrooms and downstairs reception rooms and bar. Restaurant is very comfortable and food cooked to perfection by Steve owner, generous portions and everything sourced locally. We shall return and be happy to recommend to friends and family. Excellent location and plenty of parking spaces.

Everything was to our satisfaction and nothing to improve upon.

We stayed at the black swan for 3 nights and used it as a base to travel out around the Lake District. Steve and Jacky were very welcoming and there was always laughing and joy in the air. It has a really homely feel to it throughout our stay. The rooms are lovely and have everything you would need, the bed was very comfortable after long walks and activities. The breakfast was amazing and a perfect start to an active day. A superb place to stay, relax and enjoy everything the Lake District has to offer. Thank you Jacky & Steve

There wasn’t anything not to like!

The staff were very friendly, helpful and courteous, our room was spacious and very comfortable, we had an evening meal which was wonderful as was breakfast the next morning, the area was quiet and within easy reach of M6 . Would happily return and recommend to anyone.

Disabled parking wasn't possible sadly which meant having to park at the rear of property and make my way to the front to check in.

Location was excellent. Far enough off the busy main road to be quiet, yet close enough to be convenient. Lovely walks from the doorstep. Food ( both breakfast and dinner) were outstanding.

A little noise from restaurant and bar area. Also pillows were too hard. Neither of these things would stop us from staying here again. Staff were friendly, welcoming and efficient.

Comfortable bed, clean wardrobe and very quiet. Our evening meal in the restaurant was exceptional and the breakfast also very good. Hats off to Jackie and her family who run the hotel so brilliantly.

There were a few small things that betrayed the very old, lovely building that is the Black Swan however the interior is very nicely decorated, clean and comfortable.

*Traditional old pub *Good choice of evening meals and cooked breakfast *Good value for the money *When we stayed there was live music at one end of the bar which made for a lively atmosphere but not too loud that you couldn't have a conversation

*Bed was a small double - OK for us but if you were very tall might be an issue

Arrived in the cold & dark after a 7 hour drive to a warm welcome just in time for last orders (or 2) at the bar. Following a good nights sleep we had a great cooked breakfast before heading off for another long drive. In the light we could appreciate the beauty of the area around the hotel and vowed to return.

As an older property there are limitations you should consider but the charm of history outweighs the disadvantages

Good value for money. Food was excellent, home cooked and piping hot. Staff were very friendly and made you feel welcome.

The rooms are a little dated but having said that the bed was comfortable and we slept well. We didn’t use the shower as it was quite black and mouldy where the silicone and grout needs replacing
