Plenty of parking next to hotel room. In my case I could see my motorcycle from the hotel window. Large well appointed clean room with excellent en suite. Lovely views over surrounding hills. Cozy pub with real fire. Good full English breakfast and friendly staff. All good thanks and would stay again.

Great place to stay
Great pub in a lovely location with fantastic views from the garden. The rooms were very large, as were the beds (which were really comfy). The room had everything you’d need. The staff were great and friendly, and helped out getting a taxi. The food at the pub is great, and the beer is kept exceptionally well. A great place to stay and only a 2 mile walk into Masham. The owners old WW2 vehicles in the car park are very interesting too.

Two nights at Black Swan Inn
Hotels.com advertises that this hotel has air conditioning - it does not. However, the staff are very helpful and it was a pleasant if somewhat warm stay.

Great hotel, fabulous location
We stayed for just one night in the Luxury Double with Jacuzzi Bathroom. The room was very big and comfortable. The Jacuzzi bath was a bit snug. The food was very good and the breakfast was excellent. Be warned that the "internet price" doesn't include breakfast. The views from the room were stunning, if you ignored the small caravan site. Some of the reviews I have seen have said that the caravan site, which is part of the hotel, was noisy. We were there mid week out of school holidays, so hardly noticed it.

Masham Visit
Room was really nice, location was about 2 miles from Masham so we got a Taxi back on the night, only £7. Nice location for walking and visiting the countryside. Did not eat in the pub but called in for a pint which was ok.

Great little hotel with quality food
Nice stay, got a last minute deal for a great price. Clean room which seemed to be part of a new build, well finished with great amenities. Food in the Black Swan is very good and there are some great walks around the area - with details available on the hotels website
