Our stay was lovely: the manageress, bar staff and waitresses were all welcoming. They provided information about the local area and showed interest when we returned after our days out.
We stayed three nights in a very comfortable room, with a good selection at breakfast. We ate in one evening which very tasty.
We would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous stay at The White Swan Inn for two nights. Lovely area and only 30 minutes from Whitby along the most amazing road. Hotel was everything we had hoped for, friendly, cozy, great restaurant, bar and atmosphere. Lovely fires welcomed you back after a chilly day. Room was comfortable, clean and lots of tea and coffee and water available. Breakfast was amazing too. Lovely team

We had a lovely room with a separate living area . The staff were all so friendly and obliging and the hotel was close to the NorthYorkshire Moors Railway station at Pickering so walking there took 5 mins. Pickering itself is charming with a good selection of shops and bakeries so there is enough for all tastes. We would return again to the White Swan.

A lovely place to stay in the middle of Pickering, and very handy for the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Excellent food and friendly service.
If you are less able then we would suggest checking with the hotel beforehand as there are stairs in the main building, and our bath was not easy to get into or out of.
Otherwise excellent and will stay again.

Excellent hotel, loved it
The rooms are so nice, good toiletries and even a little fridge and the breakfast was absolutely amazing with such good quality produce
The bar area with the fire is so cosy and a good choice of drinks
The only slight criticism is you could hear people easily in other rooms and the corridor

Milli was so helpful when my wife was concerned about getting onto the 4 poster bed and Milli immediately offered us three rooms as a swap. Nothing was a problem. Everything from start to finish was perfect and we will stay again. Also the breakfast was amazing

The place looks rather unappealing from the kerbside but oh my what a pleasant surprise inside. We were lucky enough to get upgraded to a ‘hideaway’ room around the back and it was beautiful. Gorgeous furnishings and the bedding was luxurious. The food in the restaurant was delicious and I couldn’t fault anything about our stay. Thanks to the team at the White Swan.

We only stayed for 2nights on our way back from Scotland but wished we could have stayed longer. All the staff were very attentive and friendly especially Millie, she was great and managed so well under pressure when a member of staff called in sick at short notice.
Our room was spotless as was the bathroom and the bed very big and very comfortable.
We ate in the restaurant both nights and were delighted with the choice and standard of the food.
We would not hesitate to recommend The White Swan and hope that we can visit again.

We were on the top floor so with no lift the stairs were not easy when you're 86y old
