I think this is our 4th time coming here for a meal as a treat whilst visiting kirkby stephen for a week. We visited today on new year's day and it was absolutely fantastic.  We are made to feel so welcome,  it's such a cosy,  warm place with a wonderful atmosphere.  Every bit of our meal was so tasty, excellent value for money and the staff just brilliant. Probably another year before we can come again but can't wait. 

Absolutely fantastic 

We stayed in the black Swan (Room 3) while visiting family. We had the most amazing dinner in the restaurant. Definitely not pub grub but a delicious gourmet meal prepared by a very talented chef. All the staff were absolutely amazing, very friendly and welcoming. The room was beautiful and very comfortable and we slept like logs. Breakfast was fabulous too. Absolutely 5 star and can’t wait to come back.

5 Star - well deserved

This is our third visit but not for some time and we were keen to return. Booked a table for lunch and the service was wonderful - very attentive and warm and was especially child friendly. The food was standout - smoked trout, crayfish & scallop rissotto, cod with mussels, sea bream with shellfish sauce and a dhal. Good portion sizes and expert cooking. Highly recommend a visit here.

Absolute delight 

I think I've perhaps had the best roast beef Sunday lunch of my life today.  Thank you Black Swan.  Horseradish cream. Super crunchy roast potatoes. Cauliflower cheese. Amazing beef. Oh, and beautifully kept Black Sheep beer, and lovely staff - thanks guys!

Just fantastic

Excellent food and brilliant service .Absolutely devine and the area is quaint , loved the scenery .Would love to come back again and stay over for the weekend and explore the area. The pub was rustic , loved it.

Our party of six from various parts of Northern England, spent a wonderful 24 hours at The Black Swan.

Amazing food,  both at lunchtime and evening and staff were attentive, smiling and very professional. 
We did have a couple of problems which were attended to, to our satisfaction,  immediately. 
In the words of Michael Winner, breakfast "was historic".
We will  be back.

The Harrisons, Gilligans and Andersons.

Brilliant destination.

Great hotel in a lovely position with excellent walking from the door.
Fantastic food, great beer, comfy beds with lovely linen and most helpful and friendly staff.
Overall not a single complaint other than too much food!!

Brilliant stay

We was meant to have stayed at another place, but when we got there it was closed. Went to The Black Swan hoping to find a room for that night. They had a Yurk that we had. The staff was very friendly and helpful. What turned out to be a bad experience in the beginning turned out to be a very good one in the end, thanks to the staff. This all took place on the last bank holiday in August. Would highly recommend this place.

Highly Recommend

My friend and I were looking forward to our stay at the Black Swan.  We were very disappointed with the steak, unfortunately my friend became unwell and we had to check out next day instead of staying the two nights.  Another friend and I took up the unused night on Sunday and we had a replacement meal which was superb and a much more comfortable room.  This experience restored my faith in this hotel and will recommend it.

Disappointment to appreciation

Visited the Black Swan on a Sunday evening from the beginning was extremely impressed with the setting and the friendly welcome from the staff. The food was exceptional if not better than some Michelin stared restaurants I have also visited in Cumbria. 
Couldn’t have been more impressed, will definitely be back
