2 night break.

Another fabulous stay - our 3rd stay this year. Scott is so welcoming and friendly, rooms are clean and well equipped. Food (both evening meals and breakfast) are very good with excellent choice (especially important to me as a vegetarian). Thank you - We will be back!

Another amazing stay!

We had a lovely relaxing few days here last weekend.
Our superior room was very clean and spacious.
Meals were tasty and their service was attentive. 
They accommodated my gluten free diet without fuss, which I greatly appreciated. 
We will definately be going back and I have already recommended this pub to friends and family.

Relaxing weekend break

We booked this for my 60th birthday. Paid in advance for 2 x 3 course evening meals and B&B.  On the morning of my birthday husband suffered a stroke and was rushed into hospital. I contacted the landlord and explained the situation to him. I asked if we could rearrange our stay, given the circumstances. He refused, said he wouldn’t be able to rent the room out and that his business came first! He suggested I asked any of my friends if they could go instead!. As you can imagine I was upset and shocked at his heartless response. He didn’t even have the decency to offer a credit note for the evening meal. Absolutely no compassion and zero customer care. So he has £140 in his pocket for nothing. I am absolutely disgusted. Avoid at all costs.

DISGUSTED

Had a lovely weekend away, food was lovely and nicly presented, service very attentive. 
Scott and Mo couldn't have been more helpful..Definitely be back for the Gammon and eggs beautiful. 
Nice walks with the dogs and chill out,  to take in the beautiful surroundings

Blackswan

Was very apprehensive after reading previous reviews but think these people must have gone to  a different place to us. Rooms were nice and clean, food great and lovely scenery. No complaints from us. 

Great 2 night stay

What can I say. We had two nights bed and breakfast with one nights evening meal gifted to us as a gift. We were apprehensive because of some of the negative reviews on here, but we shouldn't have worried. From the minute we walked in through the door we were met by the delightful Mo who checked us in and showed us to our room, a superior double, which more than lived up to our expectations. It was huge, much bigger than your average  hotel room, well furnished with plenty of wardrobe and drawer  space. Coffee making facilities were ready on a side table and there was a cosy ensuite bathroom with a large bath and excellent overhead shower, with shower gel and hand soap provided.

We had drinks in the bar which was cozy and well stocked and we can only say Mo behind the bar was a joy to spend time with, a lovely young lady with a very pleasant and welcoming manor.

The evening meal was excellent with a good choice of starters and main meals. Breakfast on both mornings was again, excellent, and we were served by Sean, who was polite  and welcoming. There was a choice  of cereals and warm dishes, we opted for the Yorkshire breakfast which was really good and set us up for the day.

All in all we had a fabulous two day stay at the Black Swan and will definitely be back in the future, it's position is excellent for exploring that area of Yorkshire and the facilities and food are excellent. A very big thank you to Mo and Sean for making our stay such a pleasant and enjoyable one. 

Brilliant stay

We were a little apprehensive having seen previous reviews but our experience was totally different! 
Our room, no7, spacious, clean and a lovely comfortable bed. Overlooking caravan site but no noise whatsoever. 
The 2 ladies serving evening meal were so friendly and welcoming.
Scott, our host, was also friendly and approachable giving lots of information about the area.
We had a very good stay here and would recommend it. Thankyou.

Very enjoyable 

Just returned from a weekend break to this campsite behind the pub, first impression was good but that changed within minutes, the landlord greets you as you drive in and walks you down to your pitch- £40 per night to pitch up on a middle section of the sight which is grass and a steep gradient, campers and caravans are hemmed in from every side so no chance of privacy at all as you are overlooked on every side, we made a point of saying we were not happy being put on such a steep incline but was told by the landlord/owner that there is no such thing as a flat campsite 🤷‍♀️4 flagstones later with much elbow grease to level it up we managed to make the most of a bad situation.... hemmed in like cattle for this price is disgraceful but it seemed his beer and waiting clique/entourage were more important that keeping the customers happy, the first night was met by an unruly loud vulgar couple arguing and swearing until 4am, yet no one from the management team challenged this or asked them to leave.
There are zero facilities to recycle anything, the bin area was disgusting with food, plastic, glass , broken electrical goods all just thrown in to the same bins which were already overflowing on our first day...... please do not waste your hard earned cash on this shocking place, the mere fact that none of these reviews have be given a reply by the owners speaks volumes.

Avoid at all costs ..RUDE!!

Well, The Black Swan certinally employed a great website designer.  Looks can be deceiving. I'm stuggling to work out how they've got a 4 star rating on TA and Booking.com ...something doesnt seem to add up.  A friend described it up quite well as 'camp site pub'.   My mum said if you've nothing good to say don't.

Wish I looked before booking, but checking out 'scores on the doors' is well worth a look.  Decide for yourself.
