The Black Swan in the busy little seaside destination of Seahouses is very much a local's pub…read more However, that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It is small and compact with a darts board and a jukebox and in some ways is a bit of a relief from the more touristy and cramped Olde Ship Inn and the nondescript hotel feel of the Bamburgh Castle Inn. The cask beer was excellent too, so basically if you're visiting Seahouses and don't want all the hassle of the more food orientated and touristy pubs why not pop in here for a good pint of beer :-)

We are going back on 3rd September lookout Sunday lunch on 4th As promised arrived back at Black Swan on 4th for Sunday Lunch, and once again arrived early to ensure a seat.

This hotel/Inn has a wonderful location overlooking Seahouses harbour. I reviewed it a few months…read moreago and gave it a poor review as the staff on that occasion were pretty unwelcoming and I found the place very soulless. However, we were back in the area and decided to give it another chance (it does have great views!) and we had a completely different experience. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming and the place had a buzzing vibrant atmosphere. We subsequently visited it several times during our weeks holiday and had the same service on each visit. I'd now happily recommend it to anyone and we'll certainly return when we are next in the area.

It is so pretty in the summer when it is adorned with flowers that you just can't help but want to stop off there as you're passing through :-) Inside it is rather more modern than you might expect and quite smart for a pub. There is a bar area, and a room off to the side with leather chairs and sofas and a TV. At the other end of the pub there is an extensive dining area and the pub does seem heavily geared towards dining. We had just popped in for a beer and there was Black Sheep and Old Speckled Hen on both of which were very pleasant. The staff were welcoming and friendly and we spent a relaxing and very enjoyable hour there.

I like that it was a kind of annex to the pub, so seemed really private. I forgot to book for breakfast, but the lady in the pub was extremely understanding and we had a cooked breakfast within a few minutes. (The Craster kipper was to die for!) All of the staff were friendly and extremely welcoming. Overall, it was excellent value. It was one of the most pleasant stays I've had in a pub and I will definitely be back. Absolutely excellent, in every respect.

Big pub/restaurant/B&B with ample dining space indoors and a large outside beer garden. Some areas…read morein the beer garden are sheltered from the rain by canopies. Beautiful situation at the west end of Beadnell village. The food is OK and not hugely overpriced. Local fish dishes are on offer as well as local beers. The atmosphere is very pleasant. Well suited to large and family parties. For many years the place was owned by a family, but a recent change of ownership may have contributed to a slight drop in standards. Food portions are not always generous and meals are not always as hot as one might wish for.

We rush back from where we have been visiting and grab a pint before closing time. They stock a complete array of local ales and if you look on the ceiling you will find all the different locally brewed brands they have had. The food is great, never had a meal we could complain about, lovely baked goats cheese starter, seafood broth, and of course, all locally caught. Recommended with a great and very brisk walk along the sands with views of Dunstanburgh castle. Fantastic photo opportunities abound here. In fact I hate to give this little place away, but don't worry you don't stand a chance of getting booked in anywhere around here, everyone else has discovered it well before we did.
