The Black Swan at Oldstead★★★★★
Inspected by
Inspector comments
"Outstanding cuisine and rooms to match on the dramatic North York Moors."
Overview
The Black Swan, run by the Banks family, is set amidst the stunning scenery of the North York Moors National Park, and parts of it date back to the 16th century. The well-appointed, very comfortable and stylish bedrooms provide the perfect luxury getaway; some are on the ground floor overlooking the kitchen garden, while others are in the Georgian House and feature both baths and wet-room showers. The traditional bar and its open fire is the perfect setting for a pre-dinner drink. The majority of produce used here is homegrown/reared on the farm.

About the area
North Yorkshire, with its two National Parks and two designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is England’s largest county and one of the most rural. This is prime walking country, from the heather-clad heights of the North York Moors to the limestone country that is so typical of the Yorkshire Dales – a place of contrasts and discoveries, of history and legend.
