Guest Reviews:
- "We had a free upgrade to a suite which was lovely, although we didn’t have time to use the log burner as we spent so much time in the spa. We loved to cool pool and the hot tub outside. The heat experience was great, sauna, steam room and the aromatherapy room. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, with perfectly sized portions. The cheese board was fantastic. Would be very happy to come again." - "Beautiful, very comfortable hotel on the edge of the delightful town of Helmsley"

The Black Swan has been providing travelers with a warm welcome and famous hospitality for centuries. Once the main stop off for weary travelers on a stagecoach route linking Leeds to York, The Black Swan dates back to the 15th century. With an Elizabethan building on one end, a Tudor one to the other and a Georgian House in the middle, the Black Swan is wonderfully higgledy-piggledy, with bags of character. With its inviting open fires, cozy armchairs and warm welcome, The Black Swan is just the place to eat, drink, sleep and explore beautiful Helmsley from and attractions including nearby Rievaulx Abbey, Castle Howard, Helmsley Castle and Helmsley Walled Garden. Offering views of either market square or beautiful gardens, these recently refurbished bedrooms have fresh, traditional décor and tea and coffee facilities. All rooms feature a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, desk and free Wi-Fi.
