Superb location with a view over the Vale of York to the North Yorkshire Moors on a good day. The room was spacious and the bed really comfortable. We had four nights of excellent sleep. The staff and other guests were all friendly and we enjoyed all our breakfasts and dinners. A highlight was listening to the curlews calling in the village and on the walks recommended by the staff. Coming from York, it was delightful to see swallows and swifts, goldfinches and thrushes and so many hares.

It was a little basic. There was no box of tissues and a limited selection of teas in the room but we were comfortable.

From arriving till we left the whole experience was wonderful, from the friendly greeting by SCOTT who looked after us from beginning to the end,catering for all our needs to the quality of the food and the good selection of guest beers we certainly enjoyed ourselves, the room was very nice with quality fittings plenty of fluffy towels, a huge bed ,underfloor heating to keep you warm the weather was a bit chilly on our stay. We will certainly be back to stay ,such a friendly atmosphere in the bar with visitors from throughout the UK .SEE you soon ,John Coan Widnes

Excellent location excellent restaurant meals and fair price. Quiet location and walks in the area .Room very spacious and warm and modern.

Very poor atmosphere in the public areas . It was quiet when we arrived with only 6 or so locals outside and then in the bar inside. Appreciate quiet but still lack of atmosphere. I would suggest a tv in the restaurant area to lighten things up instead of depressing cd . Owner on site but didn't really mingle or chat to non locals but we would still return.

Dinner: Great quality and large portions. Breakfast: superb Yorkshire breakfast. Room: Vary large room, with all necessary facilities. Nice to have a decent size cup and saucer for morning tea! Comfortable and warm bar with great beers (Black Sheep). Friendly staff (Scott)

Free Wifi was initially temperamental, but soon sorted itself out.

The room was spacious and comfortable, with underfloor heating and a lovely bath tub. The location is spot on, with beautiful views and very peaceful. We had an evening meal which was absolutely fantastic! Nice bar area with a cosy fire and a decent selection of drinks.

There is no door between the bedroom and bathroom which could be a little awkward.

The welcome was great. The staff were very friendly without being intrusive. The room was large clean and comfortable. The bathroom was fabulous and the towels were big enough for a larger person. We had dinner and breakfast and both were great

The toiletries could have been individual rather than large bottles but they were quality items

The staff were amazing and the location was stunning. Nice clean room with a gorgeous view. Very comfortable and chilled.

The only snag I have really was that when I booked the room it said that there was a bath. That's the main reason I chose the room, I wanted a nice relaxing bath after a very intense hike.

Breakfast was fine. The evening meal was excellent and at a reasonable price. The staff, particularly Scott made us feel instantly welcome. The locals were also a really friendly bunch. We had an excellent stay and really didn't want to leave. We will definitely return to The Black Swan one day.

Its difficult to fault anything. Everything was perfect.

The room was great. Spacious, extremely comfortable bed, decent shower in a good-sized bathroom. Staff were lovely - efficient and helpful.

The wi fi is a bit of a pain - with the caravan park behind - there is too much demand on the system. Breakfast was OK

Lovely place and location all staff were really friendly and nice plus met Bailey working behind the bar so we had a great stay only one thing I wasn't keen on and that is when food is served on wood squares just put food on a plate simple really

Food on wooden boards and not on plates apart from that lovely stay
