The Black Swan, Helmsley

[1] It was a high-status, two-storey house facing the town's market place, with a parlour wing extending back from the left gable.

[1] In 2021, the hotel was refurbished by its owners, The Inn Collection Group, and celebrated the reopening by installing a temporary ice rink.

[4] In 2023, it temporarily served as the town's post office, after the convenience store previously hosting it unexpectedly closed.

The interior is largely altered, but the 16th-century hall retains visible beams including a massive bressumer.
