Couldn't fault it. The place is lovely and the food is amazing. We stopped last weekend when it snowed and the staff worked tirelessly to keep the pathways to the rooms clear and even cleaned the snow off the cars in the morning! We will definately come back More

Thank you for your kind review. Frank is the man responsible for most of the snow manouvres and he is worth his weight in gold. He has been busy this week as well. More

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

Thanks for your latest custom and your kind review. Glad you enjoyed it again. Great value indeed and a good reason for making sure that we have email addresses. For those that missed it Mr & Mrs R plus Olly stayed on a Sunday night for £112.50 Dinner B&B. (£40 towards dinner to be acurate) We only occasionally do these... 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

Thank you for your kind review - looks like you are fairly local so even more pleased you enjoyed your stay. Have you tried our new deli next door at Feast? We think it might be the only deli with a proper, restaurant trained chef. 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.

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

Thank you for your kind review and I hope we will continue to maintain our standards. If everyone had the same attitude to speaking up the second they need something (we'd be American) then life would be so much easier.

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

Glad you enjoyed your Christmas Lunch. Sorry we forgot what you ordered - I think we'll stop taking orders in November and then it won't happen again. In my view it is cheaper to have a great lunch somewhere like the White Swan than spend two day's shopping and one day preparing your own Christmas lunch at home. There is... 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.
