Just want to a huge thanks to the owner at The Black Swan who went out of her way to help us arrange a cab when we were a bit stuck after mis-judging the length of our walk. She couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. While we waited we enjoyed a well-deserved cider whilst chatting away with her. Lovely friendly pub with great atmosphere. Wishing her all the best for the future.

We are staying in the village for the week, so as always, had to try the local for Sunday lunch. It was the best lunch out we have had in ages! Good choice of meat, we had the chicken, yummy! Also the champion of all, a fabulous gravy, which they gave an extra boat full, and I could have drank it! The staff who looked after us were SO nice and friendly. This pub is a must if you love good food and a good pint. 5 stars we had a great afternoon and will be going back. X

We were returning from a tour of Scotland and stumbled across this fantastic pub. It was quiz night so was fairly busy. Great beer. Great home made food.

Booked a week in the cottage here with mum, kids and friends. Lovely dog friendly and very safe establishment with all staff welcoming and attentive. Perfect base to explore the area. Despite leaving early due to an accident we will absolutely book again when able. Think this will be our annual destination due to the amazing staff, food, drink and location. We would all strongly recommend this for all types of holiday whether couples, friend or families. It’s better than home from home! Tracy Bell Holiday 3/8/20

Popped in here for a pint and some food last week. Most welcoming pub ever. The landlady let me try a variety of beers and steered me in the direction of a great pint. The dogs were made welcome and given treats by the staff team and pork scratchings by the regulars. The food was great and well priced and served on a plate. I come from down South so nowadays I'm use to buckets, slates, chopping boards etc. Really nice to have proper food on a plate, revolutionary stuff. Shame we had a drive to the tent otherwise we'd have stayed for the quiz. Brian the Jack**** puppy had the best time ever. A proper pub. We loved it

(Translated) Classic English pub from every village. Unfortunately it does not offer the kitchen service every day but the guy at the counter explained to us that having a limited use of local customers, it would become uneconomical to always activate it. Good beer and fair prices (Original) Classico pub inglese di ogni borgo. Purtroppo non offre il servizio cucina tutti i giorni ma il ragazzo al bancone ci ha spiegato che avendo un'utenza limitata agli avventori locali, diverrebbe antieconomico attivarlo sempre. Buona la birra e prezzi onesti

M. D.

(Translated) Nice friendly pub (Original) Beau pub conviviale

Called in around 3pm on a Tuesday for a drink and was greeted with a warm welcome by Jane behind the bar and one of the pooches. The beer was good and the pub looked like it would have lots of atmosphere when full. Booked a table for a meal in a couple of days, having read reviews on trip advisor. Looking forward to our next visit.

A. B.

Booked in for Sunday lunch, 4 adults and a large dog. We were looked after really well, staff are brilliant, Sunday lunch was absolutely delicious, can’t knock this place at all!

T. R.

One of the best pubs I have visited. Also possibly the most dog friendly. Good beer, good food, friendly staff. We are now under orders to visit next time we are in the area, as long as we bring our golden retriever!

A. P.

Friendly village pub with accommodation. We stayed one night on the way to Scotland. Convenient position close to A1 and also Bamburgh castle. Great cooked breakfast.

J. B.

Called in for a swift drink with the family on a Friday night. One of the friendliest pubs I've ever been in with the young lady behind the bar going out of her way to offer loads for the kids to do and even offered us a Bluetooth speaker so we could play our own music while we played darts. Drinks were good too with the blonde ale on the bar being served up just right. We will definitely return and I'd recommend without hesitation. Dog friendly too.

d. b.

Great little place. There is a friendly atmosphere and the staff are very friendly. We managed to get a table and spent the evening here having a drink. Not badly priced and the serve food as well.

j. f.

Great pub , with a fantastic owner who makes everyone and their dogs welcome.

M. B.

Lovely old fashioned pub, well supported by locals and visitors alike

M. J.

Lovely friendly cosy atmosphere and the food was excellent, also dogs are welcome and its ideal for people who just want to pop in grab a meal and quick drink. We would definitely go back and certainly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for good food and very welcoming friendly people

A. D.

Value for money, we had the standard Sunday Beef Dinner, it was ok, beef wasn't that nice, however for the price, I would consider it unfair to be over critical. Staff appeared friendly, and dogs welcome, however a customer next to us had their dog up on the seats...not acceptable.

C. N.

Friendly pub with lovely dogs roaming around. However do not take any notice of the sign outside which says Bar Food as they only cook on certain days. My husband and I were staying a few doors away and after a busy day out thought we would return to Belford for the evening and eat here only to be told they were not doing food that evening even though the sign out side said they were. Very disappointed. Had to drive back to Bamburgh to get a decent meal. Take the sign down when you're not cooking so people know.

A. G.

Lovely local pub with very friendly atmosphere and staff

L. C.

Very friendly tradition old pub very dog friendly. Lovely atmosphere unfortunately we didn't have a main course as too full from lunch but plenty to chose from we did have the cheese board with our drinks which went down very nicely

L. G.

Went here to see Jez Lowe and had a fantastic night. Music great, staff very friendly and helpful. Would go back just for these two things alone. Meals great, was a nice change to be spoilt. Keep up the good work!

j.

Stayed two nights there this weekend. We got the warmest welcome imaginable. Comfortable room, good food, friendly locals. Brilliant landlord and landlady. Not to mention the resident canines - Alfie and Dylan. Hi guys!

D. H.

Friendly little pub. Homemade food that was limited range but good quality. Number of dogs in while we were visiting which was ideal. Cheap and cheerful.

A. B.

Great wee traditional pub with live music. Great host and staff, tasty food and lovely accommodation.

B. P.

Great pub with excellent bear. Lost a star as they don't offer food, despite having a food menu on the wall???? Worth a visit for the beer though.

R. H.

Very dog friendly comfortable pub, felt at home as soon as we walked through the door.would recommend to anyone visiting the area the food looked good although we didn't have a main course just the cheese board which was great.

K. P.

Brilliant pub, very friendly and entertainment was fantastic x

J. H.

Had a lovely week at Belford Mains in November 2017 and had 3 evenings in The Black Swan. The beer was great and the company welcoming. Had a great singing night with guitars. Our Cavalier King Charles enjoyed the company of 2 blenheims. A smashing pub, well worth a visit.

L. E.

Very friendly chatty staff with sense of humour. Plenty of choice on the menu with gluten free and vegan options. We had a lovely time in this charming comfortable pub.

A. W.

a friendly family run pub that not only lets dogs in but dishes out treats to them too! A cozy open fire with friendly locals and nice food. Lovely :)

G. H.

Great pub and lovely food, the locals are a good bunch and with regular bands playing its always a lively atmosphere. Special shout out to Bob (I think that was his name) who made our visit very enjoyable.

J. G.

Fantastic pub! Richard and Jane make this a special pub to visit. If you are a dog owner, this is a must to visit. They give such a warm welcome with a cosy real fire always on the go.

T. V.

Nice small town pub. Had a few drinks and a meal here on a couple of days during the “Beast from the East” winter weekend in March 2018 when the village was effectively snowed in. Singer guitarist was on the Saturday night and it was pretty busy with the local crowd.

G. B.

Great pub, very efficient and friendly staff, couldn't be more helpful, I'd highly recommend this pub and I will definitely be back.

Local pub with friendly staff and regulars from the village. It is your typical local pub with hearty food, a good range of beers and lots of local information, it’s also dog friendly which is a bonus if you’ve brought your dog on holiday!

Whilst waiting for a bus (1hr 20mins) we were both offered 1/2 pint each, then when we decided bus wasn't coming for another hour went in and ordered a pint each. Lovely locals and lovely landlady - when the bus suddenly arrived she raced out to talk to the driver, then, amid great hilarity, found us coffee cups to put our beer into. Oh - and the beer was excellent too 😄 Thoroughly recommended. Fiona & Helen.
