We booked last minute at the White Swan, one of our favourite places, and enjoyed a great deal. Tea or coffee on arrival, £20 towards our evening meal each which was brilliant and full english breakfast the next morning. The room was lovely, the staff as always helpful, and we were able to bring our little dog Olly too. We... More

We would escape here every weekend if we could. Just had another fantastic New Year break with the most amazing food and hospitality. The wine list is excellent and then you get to stay in a lovely comfy room with crisp White sheets and fluffy pillows. Breakfasts to die for and then a long walk in the loveliest countryside. More

We stayed in a contemporary courtyard room for one night. The staff at the Inn are very welcoming and we were given complimentary tea and coffee in the lounge on arrival. Our room was lovely with many additional and well thought out touches from the bath robes, magazines, tea pot and home made biscuits to the tea lights and matches... More

We were here for a birthday dinner followed by an overnight stay. The food was excellent, served in a well laid out dining room with a blazing fire. The service was efficient and attentive. Our accommodation was comfortable and we enjoyed reading the hotel information book left in the room, particularly the quirky sense of humour, e.g., "payment taken in... More

Had a wonderful relaxing 3 night stay between Christmas and the New Year. Lovely old Inn with real log fires - just the ticket to warm away the winter chills. Tastefully decorated bedroom designed with comfort in mind. Wonderful well presented food. We ate there twice in the evenings and thoroughly enjoyed the experience on both occasions. The hotel staff... More

I must comment on a superb evening my extended family experienced at the White Swan last week. There were 9 of us in our party (including 2 young children) and I must say we all enjoyed the food; it really was superb. My wife and I and our 2 kids stay in Pickering a few times a year and dine... More

We had an excellent stay at the White Swan for 3 nights between Christmas and New Year. The welcome on arrival, the room and all facilities were all of the highest quality. We had booked our first evening meal in the restaurant, intending to eat elsewhere perhaps on the other 2 evenings, but once we sampled the quality of food,... More

We had christmas dinner in the White Swan in Pickering this year. The surroundings are lovely, traditional but well designed. The staff were friendly but not 100% organised about the pre-booked choices I had given them in November so we had to order again. The food was delicious, very well presented and extremely tasty, without there being too much on... More

Discovered this place by accident as we usually stay in Whitby. Popped in one lunchtime for a bit of refreshment following a trip on the North York Moors Railway, and had a look around. Intrigued, we booked a couple of nights in December as it was our 30th wedding anniversary. Stayed in a courtyard room (no21), as it it easier... More
