The Black Swan - Press, Radio and TV
We (Alan & Louise Dinnes & family) purchased the hotel in 2006 with no prior experience in the trade, but with blind enthusiasm have totally refurbished the building and added our own Village Store in 2007. We have now built a strong reputation for our hospitality and food, along with a fantastic Team of Staff who work very hard to make The Black Swan a great place to visit.
Periodically our endeavors are featured in the press, on radio and TV, and we record these articles here:
