Well what can I say . Amazing guest house. Very clean and the family was really kind and friendly. Breakfast was amazing. Clean rooms every day and fresh towels I would highly recommend say here if you’re in the area thank again the black swan guest house . 👍👍👍👍

Brilliant guest house

My husband and l were booked in for two nights .. due to an unfortunate family emergency we were unable to use our booking. The owner of the Black Swan must have been the kindest more empathetic host we have yet to encounter, and assured us that it was not a problem and contacted BOOKING.Com for us to cancel. We can’t thank him enough and will definitely be looking forward to booking at a later time. 
If this is the way he treats customers what a wonderful place it must be to stay. 
Thank you …

The kindest host.. thank you

I actually stayed here in April 2022, but never wrote a review at the time as I was going through some personal difficulties and didn't have the time or headspace. From the outside it looked lovely, an old coaching inn, however a little dated and dark on the inside. The woman who "greeted" me came across as quite cold. I was put in one of the front bedrooms with a four poster bed, it looked lovely but I couldn't sleep a wink. Traffic noise all night long. The next day I mentioned the noise but they said they couldn't move me as all rooms were fully booked. I remember on one morning I woke up and there was no hot water- the owners were out so I was forced to wait hours until they got home to sort it. Turned out it was an oil burner which gets turned off at certain times of the day, which I found extremely odd for a hotel. They offered me to use another bathroom to see if there was hot water there, which I did, and mid - showering the lady owner let herself into bedroom and said something like " your not the sort of customer we want" which shocked me a bit. I said nothing and pretended I couldn't hear her as I was going through enough in my life at the time and couldn't take the extra stress. Decided not to stay the last night of my booking as I was too exhausted from lack of sleep. Although the male owner was friendly enough I really disliked the woman - she came across as a narcissist who couldn't take any sort of customer complaints. Recently drove past this guest house and thought i should finally leave a review. Wasn't exactly the happiest of stays.

Stayed in April 2022

Clean B&B, very nice and helpful hosts. Place could do with a bit of refurbishment as it is very old fashioned. Breakfast was ok, cooked fresh and served by the very nice lady, but not outstanding . Misleading also as on our booking there were  no options other than what I booked, which appeared as if breakfast was included in the price, but actually it was not, and we had to pay £8 each extra ( per day) , so website needs updating to make this clear to people wishing to stay there. Some people have said that the pub across the road was lovely with great food at a reasonable price. We took a walk to have a look, and the place is very run down and dirty, cannot comment on the food served as owners were away so no food available, but we would not have eaten there anyway because of the lack of cleanliness! Quite close to Gainsborough so we had a little look there . A few eateries and pubs there, and shops . Lincoln about 30 plus minutes away , which is very nice! Overall a clean and quiet place, but nothing else in the village , and on a personal note if we went to visit Lincoln again, we wouldn’t choose to stay there .

Lincoln visit.

Just had a two night stay to visit Lincoln. A nice clean and friendly guest house. The owners are very pleasant and helpful.
The room was clean and quite comfortable, and very quiet, but it was rather small and needs updating/refurbishing as very old fashioned. 
Booked through Hotels.com and was misleading as we thought our booking included breakfast, because there was no options offered other than the one we booked, and The Black Swan website also says that it is a free breakfast, but were told on arrival that our booking was room only, therefore the breakfast charge is £8 each extra. The website needs updating to make this clear to customers.
We had breakfast once, which was cooked to order and served by the very nice lady, and it was quite nice, but would not say amazing as other reviews have said!
The place is quite close to Gainsborough so we had a little look around there, where there are some eateries, pubs and shops, if needed. We were about 30 minutes (plus) away from Lincoln which was really nice . We explored everywhere there, including the beautiful Cathederal and Castle area, well worth a visit.
There is one pub in the village which sounded very nice from previous reviews, so we popped to have a look as food is meant to be good and reasonable. Cannot comment on food as the owners were away in France, so no food available, but we would not have eaten there anyway , as the place was run down and dirty, so not for us!
Overall a nice stay, place is clean and very nice hosts. I would say no more than a 3* property though, not a 4*.  if we were to visit Lincoln again we would not choose to stay there, we would go closer ( or in ) Lincoln itself.

Lincoln visit

Lovely hosts, nice location in a quiet village.

Lovely friendly convenient. Visited with friends for a bag making retreat.  We were greeted with a very warm welcome and shown to our rooms. Very clean with ample supply of shower gel and towels. Lovely selection of tea/coffee/hot chocolate replenished daily. The breakfast was amazing. All cooked to order with quality ingredients and endless supply of drinks. Plus a selection of cold cereals and jams for toast. We ate our meals at the village pub across the road (Ingleby Arms). We were spoilt by the choice of lovely pub food at very reasonable prices and huge portions. One not to be missed.

A short drive into Lincoln where there is an array of historical sites and lovely shops.

I would thoroughly recommend a stay as the value and level of hospitality is outstanding. We were fortunate with beautiful weather and a lovely place to sit in the garden.

Amazing hospitality

I loved staying here. Room was nice, parking easy. John even helped me with family history! Amazing. Very welcoming place. Thankyou.

Old school guest house in a small village near Lincoln. I'm not sure why this guest house is here other than for historical and Roman reasons but we fell upon it after a long drive and it was all we needed. Quiet, clean room, with comfy bed and ensuite.Best of all was a good quality tasty cooked breakfast next morning served in a pleasant cordial manner.Value for money and a nice experience.

Old school style and value for money

Amazing stay thanks to the fabulous owners who were welcoming and friendly . Nothing was too much trouble for them, superb breakfast and welcoming atmosphere. The room was large and very comfortable bed. Well recommend. 5*
