Was working at Lincolnshire showground and needed to a last min place to stay. Although 8 miles away its one straight road to where we needed to be. Great price, nice location and a pub across the road with good food. Didnt have the breakfast as we were out by 6:30. Parking in site. Decent shower, large room.

We only used the room as a base overnight whilst visiting Lincolnshire showground but the hosts made us feel welcome and showed us around the room on check in. The kitchenette was a nice addition, especially the fridge so we could keep our drinks for the weekend cool overnight. We’ll be looking to book again for next year!

Lincoln visit.

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 .

Old school style and value for money

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.

After a longer than expected journey due to dreaded roadworks on the A1 we were welcomed by our hosts who helped us to our room with our case. Room very clean with everything you could need. Breakfast excellent quality and well cooked. I would highly recommend the Black Swan and the local pub the Ingelby Arms just a very short walk away

My stay at Black Swan

I enjoyed staying here as it was out of the way and more in the countryside. Staff were friendly and the rooms were well kept, but my room was facing the road so was a bit noisy sometimes. Parking could be tricky sometimes as, although there were a few spaces, there must have been some contractors staying with big vans whom parked a bit greedily and left little space so this was an issue at my particular stay. Cooked breakfast was nice and fresh and there was also the option of cereal and toast.
However overall it was a lovely stay.

Fantastic dog friendly guest house

In a lovely location, We stayed in one of the converted barns which was a very comfortable bedroom with ensuite. It was spotless, beds were clean and comfortable and had lots of little extra touches.

Breakfast was cooked to perfection and the owners could not have made us more welcome. We were visiting relatives in the area but it was ideally placed for visiting the local area.

A Great Homely Guest House

This is lovely place with a warm welcome and attentive owners. Clean, comfortable, not fancy but homely and the breakfast was excellent. We needed an early start so needed an early breakfast which was provided outside normal breakfast hours. We liked it so much we booked for the following weekend and cancelled our booking at a big hotel nearby. We ate at the Hume Arms which is about a mile from Black Swan, the food was excellent but it is advisable to book in advance, they were booked up when we went but catered for us in the lounge area as the restaurant was full.
