Lovely accommodation for a reasonable price, would stay again.
Pros:

The inn is located right in the centre of Devizes, ten metres from the central bus station and a 5 minute walk from the canal. We did eat any meals at the inn as they were quite pricey and not included in the booking, but the dinner menu did look delicious (unless you are vegetarian/vegan, which seemed a little basic and overpriced). The rooms are spacious and clean, with lovely tea/coffee making facilities, fresh milk available, and cute little shortbreads provided. In summer, the hotel looks stunning with huge hanging baskets out front.

Cons:

One of the bathrooms (out of two booked rooms) wasn't entirely clean. Food was a bit pricey. Because of the central location, first floor rooms are quite exposed to the street.

Lovely hotel, friendly staff, rooms had everything you need, food great
Pros:

Wow! I loved this hotel. I was a bit worried about noise as rooms in pubs can be noisy when the pub’s open but no! Bonus traffic noise at all. My single room had everything you could need including a fan which was needed due to the warm weather. The coffee and tea bags were higher quality than you usually get and there was a mini fridge in the landing with fresh milk in little bottles and free bottled tap water. The restaurant served great food and breakfast was also good. The staff were helpful, storing my bike securely and were also very friendly.

Cons:

Everything was perfect

Pros:

The room was quiet and comfortable, with a super bathroom. There is a fridge in the hallway near the room with fresh milk jars and cold water bottles, and you can pop a bottle of wine in it as several guests had done!
The staff were really helpful with any request., have stayed in The Black Swan before and planning our next trip again soon. The restaurant menu is superb and the food really excellent.
Wonderful.

Had a lovely stay and the room was so comfortable and clean and quiet! Deluxe double room. Would def stay again
Pros:

Very central and great decoration

Cons:

It was a particularly hot day and night if there could have been some cold water cans left in the fridge at the top of the stairs as when we arrived back in after our event it was late and no where to get anything..the heat was stifling. Full English Breakfast was delicious and fresh coffee too .
