We decided to take a midweek break in North Yorkshire and chose the Black Swan in Helmsley which is an attractive market town.The whole area has so much to see and do and is very near the coast so you can combine beautifu countryl scenery with bracing sea air! The Black Swan shouts comfort the minute you walk in the... More

After stating at The Feversham Arms we went here for lunch! Lovely and cosy with roaring fires and comfy sofas! Dogs were also allowed. Our food was superb and the prices reflected the quality. The staff were so friendly and professional. Can't wait to return! In fact I'd like to stay here! More

We booked the Black Swan Hotel back in the summer of 2011 for a Christmas Wedding in December of the same year, it was love at first sight, great villiage location, lovely old building inside and out, the bar area and rooms have been newly refurbished so no old and out of date rooms as previous reviews have commented on....

We arrived on a very wet afternoon, and were greeted with lovely roaring fires, and welcoming staff. The room was more spacious than expected, but a bit drab( maybe the weather and combination of old furniture).The bathroom needed a bit of TLC, we had cracked tiles and a badly scratched mirror, which we wouldn't have expected in this class of...

Had a weekend at the Black Swan and came away disappointed. The room was quite nice but there were a few small issues with the bathroom that showed lack of attention to detail. We go to hotels primarily for the food and with 2 AA rosettes we were hopeful it would be good. Breakfasts were fine although there was no... More

We called in for a coffee and light meal. On our previous visit we had been slightly disappointed but certainly had no issues this time. Very attentive and helpful staff, and good food, made the round trip worthwhile. I have no hesitation in recommending the Black Swan. More

We had stayed here a couple of years ago and enjoyed the experience - especially the food - so we thought we'd try it again. I gave it 4/5 but not 5/5 because I am rather picky and staying here isn't cheap so i expect attention to detail and what I got was a little rough round the edges. We... More

The Black Swan Hotel is a great place to stay. We stayed there a number of times over 2011 for both family weekends and short breaks with friends. The rooms are very good and clean with good service. The food in both restaurants is really good. The fine dinning restaurant is extremely good. During the day the tea room is... More
