Black Swan Inn

Just had the most amazing meal here, it was the seafood festival week so we dined of that menu and it did not disappoint. The scallops were cooked perfect the staff were really friendly. We will be back 😁

A lovely place to stay, room was very clean and had a bath and shower. Comfortable bed and extra pillows in the wardrobe. Room was very warm even without thermostat on. Had to have window open throughout the night so expected some noise yet was very quiet. Room was large but lacked cosines, was very simple and plain. No pictures on wall etc. WiFi was pretty much none existent and poor mobile signal so probably not the best place for families with internet and phone obsessed teens! Food was fantastic. Service was friendly. Unfortunately was unable to stay to have their breakfast due to myself taking ill and needing to leave prior to breakfast. In a lovely setting with countryside views. Would definitely return for an overnight stay.

We’ve just had a weekend here as we noticed the winter deal which was for DB&B. The food was delicious, a lovely breakfast and the evening meals were great too. I think they have a new chef 👍 Room was comfy with tv, nice large bathroom and comfy bed Staff were great. Really helpful and friendly We will def come back 😀

I recently stayed at The Black Swan when visiting the Polar Express at Leeming Bar. The hotel was very conveniently located, around an 18 minute drive from the Park and Ride for the Polar Express and less than a 10 minute drive to Masham, a small village with lots of pubs! Although we didn’t have time to eat in the pub for tea, we did have breakfast the following day which was very delicious! The menu wasn’t massive but we could chop and change items to have a breakfast of our choice. Alternative milk was also available on request. The man who was working at the reception and over breakfast was very friendly and helpful. Our room was very spacious, with a very large bed and nice views. The only negative was that there was a jacuzzi bath in it which was unfortunately out of order during our stay, but that is just one of those things! The shower was powerful which was nice! Overall I would definitly recommend The Black Swan for a budget friendly stay in the dales!

The bed was comfortable. No breakfast available until 08:30 as they didn’t open until then. So we had to go without, even though we had booked for bed and breakfast. When we arrived the day before we’d planned to buy lunch there but lunch was off that day (Saturday)

I don't usually write reviews on TripAdvisor but I felt the need to after a terrible ordeal at The Black Swan Inn. I booked 2 rooms for a nights stay over the phone and spoke directly to the manager. My Father-in-Law is disabled so I was assured on booking that he had an accessible room and bathroom. I booked a second room for myself, my partner and two young daughters (aged 4 and 1). On arrival we checked in and were shown to our rooms. The 'accessible room' was on the ground floor however other than that there was nothing accessible about it. There was a large step up into a tiny shower with no hand rails in the bathroom which was not suitable. I had requested a travel cot for my daughter which had no mattress and in the middle had the metal frame protruding. How a baby was expected to sleep in there I have no idea. The rooms were very dated. How this hotel has been given 4 stars I will never know. The staff were pretty useless at dealing with the situation so I asked to speak to the manager and was told he was away in London (not sure if I believed that). We were offered our money back. After paying £345 for 2 rooms I would have expected much higher standards. It was fairly late at night so we rang around other hotels in the area but no one had any rooms available which were suitable. The pub didn't look inviting to stay for food either so we decided not to eat there and ended up driving an hour and a half back home with two tried cranky children. Not ideal!
