when we arrived after 2pm a girl behind the bar showed us to our room this was small but OK.while we sat deciding what to do we had a water leak above the window beam just missing my husband.To re enter the pub after 4pm you have to ring a phone number either from your mobile or the phone box...

This is an ancient hotel in a village where there are almost as many horses (race horses) as there are people. The building is a fascinating collection of rooms and staircases. As an old property, it has some idiosyncrasies, so, if you're looking for modern convenience, this is probably not for you. If, however, you enjoy your comforts in character,... More

Only stayed here one night but despite the hotel being very old and alot creaky it is clean and comfortable. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant, i had a steak which was excellent and we enjoyed the full english breakfast the next morning. Service was good and there was plenty of choice on the restaurant menu. The only... More

We did not stay at the Black Swan, but went in for an evening meal. It's a charming-looking place and was recommended by a local couple. We sat in the dining room as opposed to the pub and things were awkward from the start. The young lady that took our orders seemed a bit bewildered by the whole thing and,... More

Menu looked good and the fire looked great so we popped in for Sunday lunch and a pint. Black Sheep ran off just we arrived so they slapped a new barrel on. Unfortunately, my pint came back with loads of sediment floating about in it (dropped barrel?), apparently this was normal... I brew. It's not. Lunch arrived but the pork... More

Didn't stay at this Hotel but called in for a snack. Can highly recommend the Seafood Chouder, best I've had for a while. We arrived 10mins after service was finished but were still served. The only downside was when the bar lady collected the dishes, and I said how much I enjoyed the food and thanked her for the hospitality,... More

Stayed here last week the 5th time we have stayed in the pub and the second time with Mel and Chris. They were very welcoming and general service was very good. Other reviews comment about the rooms being tired yes they are a bit but they are clean and I understand they will be updated soon. As for access and... More

A quaint old coaching house with rooms above.Located in the centre of the horse racing industry so be ready for an early morning call with numerous horses clip clopping by from 6am, but an interesting sight if you like horses. The rooms were small but well equipped and very oldy worldy.The breakfast was fine but unfortunately no evening meals were... More

I stayed at The Black Swan in Middleham last week and found it charming. Whilst we were there the owners Chris and Mel mentioned to us about the problems they were having with Groupon. They had over sold rooms. This i believe is a regular occurance with Groupon and should not reflect on the premises in question. Groupon are in... More
