The Black Swan Hotel is a Victorian inn in the heart of Ravenstonedale, Cumbria, nestled between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. Inside you'll find a well-stocked bar, characterful en-suite bedrooms and an award-winning restaurant, while outside guests can relax in a riverside garden home to red squirrels and free-range chickens. For something different, the hotel also offers luxury glamping yurts by the river, complete with wood-burning stoves and access to the hotel's facilities. Dogs are warmly welcomed throughout the bars and lounge, and several rooms and all three yurts are dog friendly. Just ten minutes from the M6 and close to the A66, it's a handy base for exploring the Eden Valley, with Kirkby Stephen and its shops just five miles away.
