What a wonderful bed and breakfast. Close to Main Street, bed was super comfortable, and the house itself was beautiful with a huge front porch! Will definitely stay again!
I stayed at the Grey Swan Inn for 3 nights. It was very clean, peaceful and safe. If I end up coming back to the area, I would definitely stay here again. Very easy to book and communication with property management was excellent. Definitely an unexpected pleasant surprise!
What a wonderful and charming place! Great location in a really charming town. Comfortable room, wonderful public spaces. It felt like a real get away. I will definitely make an effort to visit again.
The historical era house was very clean, and had some nice antiques in parts of the house. The king bed was comfortable, and we enjoyed our stay.
We stayed in room 5. Recomendations:
A mirror on the bathroom, and a larger t.v.

Was in town for work like I am several times a year. I’ve never stayed here. It’s a beautiful place well-maintained it’s a little bit weird there is no staff, but it is very quiet. I had one night where I was there completely by myself so that was a little weird but all things considered I would definitely stay again.
We loved being at the grey swan. The building was very clean and the rooms were comfortable. We had only 2 complaints. One, our housemates came in late. Stomped. And got up early and emptied the breakfast offerings.
Two, the breakfast offerings were Very sparse. The cereals were all sweet (frosted flakes, Cocoa Puffs, sugar pops…). The fruit was orange and apples. No bananas. There were breakfast bars, again all sweet.
My point is a healthy alternative would have been nice.
But, again, the place was lovely and comfortable. And the price was right
This was a perfect place for our whole family on the one night we were in Blackstone. The old house is well appointed with all we needed and except for the very creaky steps we loved everything about it.
We needed a place to stay while visiting my mother in Kenbridge. The closest "chain hotels" were in South Hill over 25 miles away. After searching in the quaint little town of Blackstone I ran across this little gem and it did not disappoint. It originally advertised as a Bed and Breakfast but after reading the details, the owner explained why at this time, breakfast would not be served and I'm sure the price was adjusted for that because it was very reasonably priced. We loved our stay and will definitely stay again.

Nice place, however the shower cycled from nice to scalding to freezing and back again as others in the home used water.
Made it very uncomfortable.
