Great Experience
Just returned from celebrating our wedding anniversary at the Black Swan. We stayed one night ,Saturday 21st June 2008.The staff were polite,courteous and couldn't do enought for you.The food was delightful and very well presented. We occupied room 15 which overlooked the market place.We will certainly be going back.

Exceptionally Good
We stayed at the Black Swan twice last year - our second visit being prompted by our good experience on the first. The first stay was part-sponsored by the hotel itself as part of a support initiative for us as fundraisers of a charity of event. The Black Swan kindly offered us rooms to stay over at their hotel. We really enjoyed it. The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful - and they even donated their tip to the charity. The food was exceptional. Our rooms were just the job. Our second visit was for my birthday. There... more
