This place is lovely but we were disappointed with the staff. None of them made the usual interpersonal effort that we are used to. Maybe they are not happy..it seemed that way. Bar staff, reception, breakfast staff....all the same. Interaction makes all the difference for us.

A little piece of paradise in gods own county

Our fourth stay at The Black Swan and it never disappoints. We stayed with our dog Polly and as the hotel is dog friendly there were several other guests with their dogs. The hotel is always very peaceful and quiet when we stay and the room was very cosy and comfortable. Staff are always very friendly and engaging. Food and bar service always excellent. We’re planning on staying here again with family to celebrate my 60th as we love the pub, Helmsley and the area.

Lovely, quirky building with individual rooms and friendly staff. The breakfast selection was good and was beautifully cooked, but the dinner menu needs to be revisited. It wasn't a great selection and three out of the four meals our party had, were bland and didn't deliver the flavours promised in the description.

Okay. Leaves a lot to be desired

Stay all right. Too much self service for my liking and not nearly enough explanations on how exactly to serve yourself both at dinner and breakfast.

Staff are amazing people. However, the bathroom was disgusting with human pubic hair on the floor and bathtub. No toiletry supplies and had to get some at the front desk. Attempted to send photos, but email was bounced back.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

nice stay but room very small

the room was really small more like a cupboard number 63 avoid if you can as its not big enough to swing a cat around as we were only staying the one night i didn't complain but if i had been staying longer certainly would on the plus side it was clean. Bar areas and outside were plentiful although when the sun comes out people are vying for the tables in the sun. Quite a lot of steps into the beer garden so be careful as one of our party tripped and that was before alcohol! The chairs in the bar areas could have been a little more plush as they weren't the best for comfort.

The Staff were delightful but were very busy as they were covering many different duties. My bed was comfortable & I was pleased that there was a fan in the room. My Scampi at dinner was perfectly cooked. The Full English & the coffee were good. Car parking was available. I understand that Pets can stay but it might be a good idea to have a section of the hotel for Residents with Pets.
