Property details

A traditional inn with a cosy bar in the North Yorkshire market town of Helmsley – includes breakfast and dinner credit
  • Scenic setting: For an upscale stay in the pretty North Yorkshire market town of Helmsley, The Black Swan and its collection of Tudor, Georgian, and Elizabethan buildings is ideal. The setting couldn’t be more breathtaking either, with the North York Moors waiting on your doorstep - think rolling hills, fragrant pine forests, plentiful wildlife, and a glittering coastline.

  • Elegant charm: All of the sumptuous and spoiling guestrooms at this characterful property boast an individual style, retaining their historic charm with printed wallpapers and a muted colour scheme, as well as comfy bedding and beautifully-upholstered furnishings.

  • Locally grown, homemade fare: Yorkshire is known for producing some of the finest food in the country, so it's no surprise that the Black Swan's menu takes advantage of its locally-grown ingredients. Enjoy British classics in a relaxed environment; if you're staying for the weekend, the mouthwatering Sunday roast is a must.

Market Place Helmsley, North Yorkshire YO62 5BJ

You’ll be staying in Helmsley, the pretty North Yorkshire market town on the boundary of the stunning North York Moors National Park. Given that it was voted “Best Market Town” in the 2015 Great British High Street Awards, it will come as no surprise that there’s no shortage of things to do, such as browsing in the antique shops and one-off boutiques, or visiting the ruins of the 12th-century Helmsley Castle.

Further highlights include following in the footsteps of the Cistercian monks on a picturesque woodland walk around Rievaulx Abbey, relaxing in the gorgeous Helmsley Walled Garden, and riding the North York Moors Steam Railway that doubled as the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter films.
