After calling a few guest houses by mobile, we were directed to give the Black swan Guest House a try. Upon arrival a few days later we met with John at the guest house. We were given the "Cromwell" Guest room which happened to be a self contaned bedsit with ensuite facilities. It was more than what we expected and... More

Our first stay at the Black Swan - when booking John was extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the area and resources. Upon arrival we were greeted by Judy who looked after us all weekend. She gave us advice on walks in the local area, best driving routes into Lincoln and even googled fancy dress shops for us. She even drove... More

Stayed two nights on business. Competent and efficient welcome by the owner family on arrival. My double room was on the small side but everything there and perfectly adequate. Ensuite? - again compact but good shower and above all - very clean. Breakfast? excellent choice and service and without fault. All in all excellent service. The downside then? The premises... More

This was our first experience of staying in bed and breakfast accommodation and we were very impressed. After a long trip from the South East we were greeted by Judy and John who showed us to our rooms and directed us to the local pub where we had our dinner. On our first morning we woke to a variety of... More

I'm very hard to please, but everything was just right - including very comfortable beds. And they even exercised our dog while we attended a conference. So he was happy too. Thank you Judy, John and Graham. More

My husband and our 2 teenage boys just stayed here in the Stable Bungalow for 5 nights and we absolutely loved it, it's a little drive out from Lincoln but was well worth the drive. Graham's freshly cooked breakfast each morning was excellent, nothing was too much trouble. We had 3 bedrooms, a bathroom and full size kitchen which was... More

I have been staying at the Black Swan for three nights per week for the last six months. Judy, John and Graham have been exceptional hosts during my stay and have been quite flexible if I had to make an adjustment to the booking arrangements. The rooms are comfortable (especially the bed) and very clean. Tea and coffee facilities in... More

We would have no hesitation in highly recommending the Black Swan. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts and they were both extremely friendly, attentive and professional. Our suite of rooms within the stable block was great and the breakfast was superb- couldn't fault it. There was a very relaxed atmosphere and we loved Scooby the cat! More
