A great family run place with good beer, great food and wonderfully accommodation and with some very friendly locals....I was only there one night but was made to feel very welcome and I would stay again in a heart beat!

We booked at the last minute to break up a drive to Scotland. We were met by Ben upon our arrival, very polite and courteous young man. He carried our bags up to the room. explained everything we needed to know. Dinner was excellent, great food, and good value, waitresses were very friendly. Back in the bar, a nice warm comfortable area with a real fire, Ben was serving, and is a good a barman as he is a receptionist. We had a great night chatting with him and a few locals. The bed was really comfortable, nice selection of drinks and biscuits in the room. Shower was lovely and powerful. Breakfast was gorgeous, the coffee was fantastic. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely book to stay at the Black Swan Inn.

nothing, just perfect.
An absolute gem of a place, we were made to feel very much at home from the moment we stepped in the place, a faultless stay, so friendly, lovely clean room and our evening meal was first class, beautifully cooked and prepared as was the breakfast. We will definitely be making a return visit and for a couple of nights next time.

“Unexpected great find”

Nothing.
The staff were excellent. I wasn't arriving until late, I hadn't told the hotel when I would arrive, and got a call from Ben whilst traveling to the hotel to advise that the kitchen was clearing down but they appreciate that I might want to eat something when I got there after the kitchen had closed and asked if there was anything he could prepare for our arrival. Never had that before, real customer service. The hotel was an ideal place to stay to break our journey to Scotland, literally 10 mins from the M6, and was welcoming, comfortable and very relaxing. If you need to stay in the Penrith area I would recommend the Black Swan.
