A popular restaurant with rooms "on the edge of the North York Moors" has been crowned among the best in the UK, according to writer Tabitha Joyce at Condé Nast Traveller. Introducing the travel guide, Tabitha said: “The past decade has seen the evolution of Britain’s inns. “Now a stay in the countryside is a sensitively seasoned experience as chefs serve up locally rooted feasts attached to cutting-edge sleepovers.
“From a 17th-century farmhouse in Kent, to a former blacksmith’s workshop in Cumbria, here are the UK’s most exciting restaurants-with-rooms.” Michelin-starred The Black Swan at Oldstead was featured in the list and was highlighted for its “Scandinavian-style” dining room, local lamb dish “paired with turnip and mint” and rooms with “copper bateau baths”.

All the reasons The Black Swan is among best restaurants with rooms Tabitha at Condé Nast Traveller wrote about the Banks' family establishment: “From the outside this place looks like a traditional countryside inn, but you’d be a bit confused if you walked in expecting to find a pint and a packet of scratchings. “Inside there are Afghan rugs, worn leather benches and flagstone floors, as well as home-brewed rhubarb schnapps in glass jugs, a demijohn of lemon verbancello and shelves lined with jars of pickled spruce and fermented woodruff.” @oldstead All About The Process, Episode 29: Fig Leaf Bourbon Our polytunn.
