Went for our 35th wedding anniversary. Absolutely top notch. I would have probably given the rooms 5* if we had booked sooner as we were in the last available room in the the attic & it was a hot day! Also very low beams. The staff were extremely friendly & knowledgeable about the area & the local food they served. The food was exceptional, would highly recommend a visit.

We took part in the garden tour experience, including dinner, bed and breakfast in one of the garden rooms. It was our second visit to The Black Swan and another amazing experience.

I have just had the most wonderful meal at the Black Swan. The Dexter Beef will live long in my memory! The service was faultless. Each course is explained by friendly staff. It was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday and retirement.
