So much potential but...
A mixed review: Generous room, exceptionally comfortable bed, spacious shower. Friendly courteous staff, good food & drink. We chose The Black Swan as it was one of the few places which included breakfast in the price we paid. Alas we were let down on both mornings! The first morning was negated by a free main meal the following evening. The second, however, was a complete no show despite having arranged personally the specific time with the landlady the previous evening! We waited 45mins only for the place to stay in darkness. I have yet to receive any communication regarding this matter which is hugely disappointing. The fire door leading out from the accommodation was locked which is a significant worry as both windows in the room would not open.

Village pub.
Customer should be warned about the steep steps down to get from the car park to the pub or advised to unload at pub then park up.

Apart from the bed being comfortable and the room and bathroom being clean. The remainder of the pub is pretty shabby. Meals were very poor too.
