Top Rievaulx Abbey Hotel Reviews

The Black Swan - The Inn Collection Group

10/10 Excellent

"It was very nice, only criticism I’d have is we arrived 10 mins late for breakfast which we’d paid for, so were told they missed it 😔they hadn’t even finished clearing away and considering they serve food all day, I’d have thought they could of offered us something rather than recommend a cafe by the river, so a bit disappointing on that score."

Plenty of relaxing space for 6 people too. Amanda, the host was great, she was there to greet us and available for any questions we had. Although the property is pet friendly it definitely doesn’t smell of dog!Shops, eateries, pubs and bars within easy reach. Would definitely recommend!"
