What else do you want? Shame that we discovered this great dinning place on our last day! Next time we will try to spend a couple of nights in this fabulous Black Swan.

A great find. Good food, good beer and fantastic location. Friendly helpful staff. Only stayed one night but would recommend without doubt.

What a find! Fantastic staff (especially Laura), fantastic rooms and brilliant food. This place has got it all. Off the beaten track somewhat but thriving with lots of visitors for meals and well frequented by locals.

Even though we were told there might be some disruption as the heating system was being updated, we never noticed. We ate in the dining room... More
