A great place to stay
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

Nostalgic trip around Malton.
We had 5 nights in late October to revisit North Yorkshire.
The White Swan was an excellent location to do this.

Very enjoyable stay, and would return. Good food options. Our stay coincided with an England football game that was very noisy in the adjacent conservatory. Though, I appreciate this not a common occurrence.

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.

Lvely, friendly hotel.
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.

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.

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
