Nice stay with car parking on site . Enjoyed outdoor pool and hot tub on a sunny October afternoon really nice area .Spa relatively small .Hotel has plenty of lounge areas to relax and unwind . We stopped on B and B basis and breakfast was very good and service by all staff was excellent. Our room was a bit of s let down quite dated with miss matched furniture and the bathroom was also quite dated and shower lacked pressure/ power. Refreshments in room were good with lovely coffee and provision of robes and flip flops in the room great for spa use..Beds were very comfirtable .and rooms very clean.Radiator didnt work in our room but found heater in wsrdrobe ! Reception did say this would be seen too once it was reported .Great location for the town ,Helmsley Castle and for travelling to Castle Howard.the Abby etc .All staff were fabulous and are a credit to the hotel .

We usually stay at the Fairfax or the Feathers, but they were fully booked. We decided to try the Black Swan, probably shouldn’t have. The hotel is very tired despite the recent renovation - I can’t see where in the upper halls and bedrooms? The room was very basic. Bathrooms need updating, and in fact cleaning before guests arrive. We were very late to check in, despite this we had to ask for the bathroom to be cleaned as it had been forgotten about, hairs, old water marks and tide rings - grim! Though the lady member of staff did apologise profusely and was very nice at both dinner and check out - a real asset to the hotel. A room bug bare for me was nowhere to hang longer items like coats and dresses. The wardrobe was for shirts and folded trousers only. I had to hang long dresses on the light fitting. Also there is no shaver/toothbrush socket in the bathroom. Such little things that would make stays easier. We had dinner, which wasn’t bad for ‘pub grub’ but it wasn’t restaurant quality so to speak. I’d add that the gravy and sauce were more like water in both consistency and taste. Pies were great! Sadly we didn’t get to try the breakfast (which was included in our rate) as despite being a weekend, there are no room-service options and breakfasts aren’t available past 9.30am. So Sunday at 9.41am, we had to trot over to a nearby café to have breakfast. This was very annoying as you can imagine! I wouldn’t recommend staying here with so many better options locally. Which is a real shame, as the food used to be so much better and I would’ve expected after renovations the hotel would’ve seen an improvement. It has not. But, if you just want pub food and you’re in the area then maybe give it a go.
