The White Swan Inn

We had a wonderful time at the White Swan and would happily stay again. The staff were so welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. We had a lovely, pretty room and the food was delicious (we had dinner both nights!). This is a really lovely hotel and would highly recommend :-)

14th April 5pm Just went with my brother for a drink ... lovely relaxed place comfy seating ...the young barman was very polite and friendly ... made the whole experience a very good one and I'll come again and maybe next time stay for a few nights Graham

Excellent location, with easy parking, and just a short walk from Pickering Station if intending to travel on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Staff very friendly and helpful, comfortable room (vintage) and excellent breakfasts and evening meal.

Staff can make or break a place and at the White Swan they definitely make it! Every member we met were great 😁. We had a lovely two night stay (Travelzoo) room was clean and comfy and the breakfast was excellent. We ate in the restaurant the first evening and we both enjoyed our meals, same with lunch in the bar.

We have visited this area of North Yorkshire many times and we had popped into The White Swan for a drink but this time whilst visiting the NYMR to see Sir Nigel Gresley steam train, we decided to stay and we were absolutely glad we did. We booked in a Hideaway room as we have a dog. These rooms are well appointed and extremely comfortable whilst being practical with stone under heated flooring and your room door allowing direct access outside, a great bonus when travelling with your four legged friend. The dinner was superb and the staff members fitted us in as we had not booked which was just fantastic.The food was traditional and very high quality, certainly made with locally sourced ingredients as was the breakfast with a wide choice of offerings to set you up for the day….the sausages are amazing. The White Swan has now become one of our favourites and we shall certainly be back in the not too distant future

We stayed here for 2 nights bed and breakfast on the Travelzoo deal and had a very nice stay, some good points and some not so good:- Good points Room 1, Lovely room with a separate lounge area, shower great, bed very comfortable, the breakfasts were absolutely top notch, plenty of choice, all good quality products, The staff were lovely, nothing too much trouble and very polite and helpful. The Not so good points:- Room 1, very noisy early in the mornings with all the traffic and deliveries as you are right over the alleyway to the car park, noisy on the 2nd night due to being attached to the bar next door. We ate in the restaurant on the 1st night having the fish and chips and the Lamb and both were very nice however when we looked at the very limited menu there was nothing we fancied on the 2nd night so went across the road for a curry which was lovely and one of the nicest we have had. One thing I will say is the drinks are expensive especially the wine, we looked at the wine menu and the lowest priced Sauvignon Blanc was £40 a bottle! (It does say in the information booklet that they don’t do a big mark up on wine but there are surely a lot cheaper more affordable ones available for the average drinkers who don’t want fine wines) A pint of flat Morretti was £6.30, ( the waitress was actually doing her best to get a head on the drink as she poured it) Overall we had a very nice stay and would definitely return in a quieter room hopefully, and we would have liked to have spent more money and time in the hotel but the prices put us off I am afraid.
