Mr & Mrs G Williamson (28 June 2010)

From the point we pulled up outside the Black Swan, the postcard setting set us back in awesome. Once we parked the car to the rear we walked around to the front to sit on a bench just to take in the settings we found ourselves in. Within a minute we were approached and asked if we required any help, from that point the service was second to none. We booked in and were escorted to our room; it was the one with the four poster bed and the most amazing copper bath. The standard of the furnishings was top end. We had the fantastic feeling of being spoilt, being somewhere extra special. On arriving at the restaurant we were met with a very warm welcome and again treat with the greatest of respect. After enjoying a few tastes at the bar we proceeded up stairs to the table that was booked for us. For the next two hours we sat in sheer delight as one after another plate of pure artistic, culinary genius came to before us - pressed shoulder of lamb, yum! The qualities of the materials used were at a standard that any culinary expert would be excited with. I cannot tell you how much both my wife and I enjoyed the whole experience. It was amazing; we would or will return at the earliest opportunity.
