The Black Swan at Helmsley offers a warm Yorkshire welcome, with a history dating back five centuries. Now a four-star boutique hotel, it combines antiques alongside contemporary art in its colourful interior. A stay here gives you time to unwind and savour delicious menus in the hotels newly refurbished two AA-Rosette restaurant, The Gallery, where seasonal Yorkshire dishes are given a creative and cosmopolitan twist by Australian born Head Chef Paul Peters. The hotel is also home to a gem of a Tearoom where you can enjoy an afternoon tea in the award winning tearoom, or beside one of its many log fires. Its enviable position means that the North York Moors is right on our doorstep, and the Yorkshire coastline and the historic city of York and the spa town of Harrogate are within easy driving distance. How would we describe the Black Swan? The Black Swan is ‘beautifully different’. It ooses ‘olde-worlde’ charm, whilst carefully combining classic contemporary design with handfuls of antiques to create a warm, home-from-home atmosphere.
