I arrived around 20:30 in the evening and was shown to my room. I was situated "road side" and was tired and hungry on arrival. At around 21:10 I wandered over to the local pub..... as far as I was made aware, this was the only place locally to eat, as the area is very issolated. I was unable to... More

Thank you for posting a review of your stay at our guest house, we always appreciate feedback. Sometimes, because we are only human, bookings can go wrong, and this sadly was one that did, partly through a lack of communication. Also, our recollection of events does not entirely tie in with your comments. However, we do regret that you did... More

We stayed for two nights bed and breakfast whilst visiting family in one of the family rooms (Cromwell Room) in a converted stable block. The room was well equipped with a double bed, single bed , bathroom and a kitchenette. The owners were very friendly and the breakfast was superb using locally sourced ingredients. Would recommend for a short break... More

I was searching online for a nights' accommodation to attend a wedding in Gainsborough. I rang several places but they were unable to accommodate my electric scooter. I rang the Black Swan and explained my disability requirements. The owner could not have been more helpful, even offering to move furniture if necessary. On arrival we were greeted by Judy who...

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

Needed a one night stay in a value for money B&B whilst on a business trip to Gainsborough. (It took me only 8 minutes to Gainsbrough centre which was 7 miles away, from leaving at 8:15am on a Thursday morning) The website gave one of the truest summaries of the guest house, and wasn't just marketing blurb - it's very...

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
