Happy travellers
After a longer than expected journey due to dreaded roadworks on the A1 we were welcomed by our hosts who helped us to our room with our case. Room very clean with everything you could need. Breakfast excellent quality and well cooked. I would highly recommend the Black Swan and the local pub the Ingelby Arms just a very short walk away

I was more than catered for. The hosts were friendly and extremely helpful. Due to the weather the windows had to be open and the road and road junction were very noisy, it’s not the fault of the owners at all, just a shame how busy the roads were.

John was very helpful before we came. Graham greeted us warmly and Judy provided an excellent breakfast. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Could not recommend The Black Swan more highly.

My stay at Black Swan
I enjoyed staying here as it was out of the way and more in the countryside. Staff were friendly and the rooms were well kept, but my room was facing the road so was a bit noisy sometimes. Parking could be tricky sometimes as, although there were a few spaces, there must have been some contractors staying with big vans whom parked a bit greedily and left little space so this was an issue at my particular stay. Cooked breakfast was nice and fresh and there was also the option of cereal and toast. However overall it was a lovely stay.

A deeply pleasurable stay.
We really enjoyed getting to know our caring attentive hosts. Our stay was altogether relaxing and any stresses which we started with... did not hang around for long! If you want a comfortable and care-free few days away.. then The Black Swan will give you exactly that. BTW, all food superbly cooked too!

Fantastic dog friendly guest house
In a lovely location, We stayed in one of the converted barns which was a very comfortable bedroom with ensuite. It was spotless, beds were clean and comfortable and had lots of little extra touches. Breakfast was cooked to perfection and the owners could not have made us more welcome. We were visiting relatives in the area but it was ideally placed for visiting the local area.

Good Stuff Staff we're useful on the phone before arriving and directing me to where I had to go the next day. Bed and room we're comfortable and the tea and coffee supplied was great. Had a good nights rest and a great breakfast. Bad Stuff not much.. apart from it was a cold night and the room was cold in the morning and I couldn't figure out how to turn the heat up on the radiator.

A Great Homely Guest House
This is lovely place with a warm welcome and attentive owners. Clean, comfortable, not fancy but homely and the breakfast was excellent. We needed an early start so needed an early breakfast which was provided outside normal breakfast hours. We liked it so much we booked for the following weekend and cancelled our booking at a big hotel nearby. We ate at the Hume Arms which is about a mile from Black Swan, the food was excellent but it is advisable to book in advance, they were booked up when we went but catered for us in the lounge area as the restaurant was full.

Wonderful!
Had a short, but incredible stay at the Black Swan. It's very nice, quiet and clean, located in a very beautiful, little place, not too far away from Lincoln. The owners were lovely and took care of everything for me, much more than I would expect. Breakfast, Internet, beds and everything else were sublime, nothing to complain about!

Nice and friendly environment. Clean room and very silent. Breakfast fantastic. The only one point that need to be improved is the wireless network. It was slightly weak. But overall good for one night.

Lovely stay in this hotel for work. Was right next to the school we were visiting the next day. The breakfast was delicious and cooked to order so it was fresh and exactly what we wanted. The room was nice and quiet. I had a lovely stay. And the owners were really helpful and kind to us during our stay!

Our hosts were welcoming, thoughtful and accommodating, the room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was delicious and, as if this weren't enough, the bookshelf by our door played host to a gripping account of the Joan Crawford/Bette Davis feud.

A Lincolnshire treat
I had a week's stay in the Guest House, close to the West Burton station (20 min). The deluxe room had the 4 poster bed, and plenty of room. The bed is nice, but harder than I like. With the windows closed, the outside road noise is manageable, but not good if you want the window opened. The highlight is the breakfast, and the friendly hosts.

A lovely and friendly b&b to stay
We enjoyed our stay on saturday the 18th october the b& b was very nice very clean. But the bedroom was rather small but that didnt matter too much as we only stayed for one night ' the breakfast was lovely full english and as much as you wanted . We would just like to mention that the owners were lovely people and very friendly. Would recomend this b&b . Wendy & ted harris york
