The Black Swan Hotel is situated in an enviable location in the heart of Helmsley – the Gateway to the North York Moors. It is as atmospheric and as historic a coaching inn as you are likely to find anywhere in the UK; dating back to the 15th Century, the Black Swan Hotel started its long and intriguing life as a coaching inn in the centre of the small North Yorkshire market town of Helmsley, and has evolved over the centuries into its eclectic and enchanting combination of Elizabethan, Georgian and Tudor architecture, and exudes great character and charm. Despite its characterful, rambling nature, the Black Swan is certainly not behind the times when it comes to amenities, and the facilities provided are up to the standards demanded by today’s discerning hotel guest – a delightful combination of style and substance that is so difficult to achieve.
Helmsley is an enchanting little market town in North Yorkshire, bisected by the road running between Scarborough, Pickering and Thirsk. With the delightful backdrop of Ryedale and the Hambleton Hills, and standing at the fringes of the North York Moors National Park, Helmsley makes a superb base from which to explore this picturesque part of Yorkshire. Helmsley also marks the starting point, or the finishing point, of the breathtaking Cleveland Way, a 110-mile pathway taking in the scenic splendour of the North York Moors with everything from heathered moorland and rolling dales to ancient woodland and rugged coastline as it wends its way to the seaside town of Filey. Those who would choose not to venture quite so far will find that Helmsley offers much of interest, from its romantic ruined castle and stunning five-acre walled garden to the quaint and pleasant selection of tearooms, restaurants, pubs and shops in the town itself. Standing in the heart of the town overlooking Helmsley’s historic Market Place, The Black Swan Hotel has been offering its own unique brand of charming accommodation and warm Yorkshire hospitality for centuries, and 500 years on still makes a great base from which to explore North Yorkshire.
