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 :-)

As a lapsed Geordie its great to get back amongst the locals and my accent soon returns. 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.

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.

The barmaid was friendly enough though and I suspect once the refurbishment is complete it will be quite pleasant.

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.

We rush back from where we have been visiting and grab a pint before closing time.

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.
