“The Black Swan in Leyburn struck me as a proper, cozy pub at its heart, amplified by rooms above. Its central location makes exploring easy, and the inclusion of free parking in the market square is a genuine advantage. I think its dog-friendly attitude and commitment to local sourcing creates a genuine community feel, and is something that makes it stand out.”
