Very comfortable rooms and friendly, helpful staff. The food was excellent and probably the best hotel breakfast we've ever had! Beautiful setting but unfortunately for the hotel and village, the nearby farmers chose to muck spread on the hottest days of the year! This meant that sitting outside next to the river in the sunshine personally wasn't an option for us. Highly recommend and hope to be able to visit again.

WHAT A FIND!!!! A real gem After being let down with our original booking, we found the Black Lion Hotel. It's set in a small, quiet village near the river. We had a superb evening meal, the pub was busy in both the bar and restaurant area all evening, which is always a good sign.... the food was superb, service was excellent The room we stayed in was quiet, clean, the bathroom was a good size, the bed was comfy. The breakfast in the morning was superb quality made from local produce. One of the owners Rachel, sat and chatted with us after breakfast about the local area and the pub itself, which was really nice as she were preparing for a very busy Father's Day carvery afternoon and evening Its definitely a place we will return too stay and also to eat... I would recommend highly to anyone

The Black Swan is in a perfect spot to relax and walk about. The village is interesting and picture perfect. Location is handy for touring North Wales and Cheshire. The room was very comfortable and the pub and staff were friendly. Food delicious. Highly recommended.
