The decor and furnishings in the rooms were lovely. Both en-suite and had tea and coffee making facilities. The floor was a tad dusty though. There was a kitchen area in one of our rooms, with fridge, oven but no kitchen table so would have to sit on the bed to eat if you are self catering. Overall a good room at a reasonable price and Damian was very welcoming. Thank you

Just to note these rooms are above a pub so you will get noise from downstairs and the beer garden. We stayed on a Friday so was a bit noisy as they had a singer on until 12:30am but were not concerned with this. We had been to a concert so we were buzzing. However, this might annoy others who like to have an early night. I’m sure it will be quieter mid week but bear this in mind if staying on a weekend

It was very clean and all the staff were very kind and welcoming. Lovely and close to everything we needed and good value for money. The room was amazingly spacious and private being on the top floor. Cannot recommend the staff more highly, nothing was too much trouble & we were very accommodated with a toddler too. The room was clean & plenty of tea/coffee making facilities for in the morning.

My only improvements were that the shower didn’t get warm enough for us and ended up being a luke warm one. We bathed our toddler and the plug didn’t seal very well, after 5 mins she was paddling 🤣 not complaints per say! It was early so we didn’t ask for any assistance but I’ve a feeling we would have been accommodated if we’d have asked.

The Black Swan is a "Pub with Rooms" rather than a "Hotel", so no food or breakfast, which suited me just fine as I prefer to breakast later, and invariably arrived back after eating. Comfy bed, decent shower. It's a "locals" pub, not a "tourists" pub, with everyone knowing each other, and good atmosphere, and very welcoming, spending all the four evenings I stayed there chatting with the locals, barman (Alfie) landlord (Damian), and playing pool. Great place to relax after hard day's of coastal walking. About 10 mins walk from the railway station and buses, so a good base for getting to places along the coast too.

Bedside lamp would have been useful, but beside that everything was fine.

The staff were welcoming they carried our small cases up to the room. Bathroom was clean and roomy, plenty of towels. Beds were comfortable and we had tv though we didn't watch it. It was a 10 minute walk to the harbour which was great as we were planning to walk a lot. We were directed to a 24 hour car park just a few minutes away. We knew there was no breakfast but not far away was a very cheap and very good café. A few locals in the pub were very welcoming. When we ran out of tea, coffee etc extra was quickly provided. We were very impressed at the facilities for a low budget price. Much better than we expected.

We were extremely happy with our stay. The thing I found difficult (this is just a personal thing as my two friends had no problems) was the narrow and steep second flight of stairs. I have menieres disease which affects my balance so I felt rather anxious but my friends made sure I was safe. I'm sure if we had opted for a slightly more expensive room on a lower floor we could have done so.

•Excellent location 15 mins walk to open air theatre, the purpose of our visit to Scarbados, and less to the seafront etc. •great staff, especially Sam behind the bar who had great knowledge about the local area and made fan recommendations of where to eat etc. •fab links with other local businesses, taxi arranged by the bar man working on the day (another credit to the Swan) arrived within seconds would have been waiting ages otherwise given our stay was in peak time. •excellent value for money, room was clean and had all we needed (including a fridge for the lucozade to stay cool for the morning after!!), bed was very comfy and sky TV. •great atmosphere in the pub on return after our night out!

Nothing

Good central location. Staff very welcoming and friendly (one lady said she was cleaner and was a little abrupt, appeared more as a punter of the pub rather than staff). Barman was very welcoming and friendly. Rooms spacious and very clean.

Lady who claimed to be staff was very abrupt and made us feel a little uncomfortable. Toilet roll holder and seat were broken but didn’t affect our stay. Towels a little small, could have done with a couple more.

Highly recommended that the family room was better than we suspected. I loved that the 2 single beds were in a different room to our double bed. It was a great to give us all space for me and my friends and a having an private bathroom was bonus too not suitable for people with mobility issues due to stairs but great for a base to show my friends my hometown will definitely 😊 come and stay again staff we had interaction with was helpful and friendly 😊 definitely recommended 😊

We stayed in a deluxe apartment which was situated over 2 floors. I was in one room and my Mum was in the other. The beds were very comfortable and we each had an en suite and our own kettle and hot drink supplies. I was a little worried about the noise worth being upstairs in a pub but actually it was fine. Possibly would be much noisier during busier months but for us it was no issue Friendly staff and would not hesitate to use this place again if we were in the area

Mum is disabled and the nearest car park is a little walk away with a heavy overnight bag Now we have been once though we could overcome this by parking up outside and paying for half an hour and then moving the car but it is just something to be aware of For info - 24hr parking was £11 on Castle Road

Rooms over a traditional pub, just off the main shopping street and 5 minutes walk from the beach. Friendly staff, not too much noise from below, clean modern decor. We took the apartment so we had a room with a bathroom each with a great shared kitchen - absolutely fantastic value for money if you like your own space while travelling with friends.

Was tricky to leave bags on last day as it is a working pub and there is no one there when it is shut, apart from this it was all great.

The property is above a pub, but do not let that put you off, we had a family room, 2 massive rooms, 1 with a double bed lots of storage, sky tv, sofa and kettle with tea and coffee, the other room had two single beds, also with sky tv and enough storage for the kids clothes. Huge bathroom with shower and separate bath. The beds were so comfy and the duvets were lovely.

The floor was abit cricky but it wouldnt put me off staying there again.
