I booked a room and a meal in the restaurant at the White Swan Inn for my partner's birthday. The information on the hotel website was more than tempting although rooms fairly expensive. After booking I checked reviews on trip advisor which raised some cause for concern as not all were favourible. In agreement with other reviewers the traditional rooms... more

My boyfriend spoilt me with a two day break in Pickering. I wasnt sure what to expect, not being an out doors kinda person! But the white swan fulfilled even more than my greatest expectations. We had a super time, the staff were full of knowledge of the area and we would have been lost as to what to do... more

Recently returned from our second visit to this small market town centre hotel. The location is central and as such rooms facing the street in front of the hotel can be a bit noisy weekend nights. the modern rooms in buildings at the back are much more quiet. We stayed in the contemporary suite, notable for having a bath in... more

EXCELLENT!!!! What more can I say? From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome and at home. The room was perfect, superb attention to minute detail. We will be back soon - with the in-laws next time!!! more

As a treat my boyfriend wanted to take me away for a weekend; anywhere I liked. The only criteria was that we had to combine lovely countryside walks with some rest and relaxation.

We had one of the superior contemporay rooms at the rear of the hotel and it was superb. A very good sized room, excellent... more

We had two interconnecting rooms in the new building towards the rear of the hotel. The rooms are fabulous and spacious with very comfortable large beds and lovely linen. I had the best shower... more

Small rooms in need of refurbishment in the main building or better rooms outside next to the car park, but getting soaked on the precarious walk to the main building for breakfast; all rooms at a high price but towels, toiletries and contents of the hospitality tray never replaced; poor breakfasts in a crowded dining room with too few staff;... more

As we drove across the empty moors having been sent that way by a sat nav with a sense of humour we began to relax into the rural life. It was to be a welcome break from our increasingly frantic life in Newcastle-upon-TYne -the party city. The market town of Pickering looked perfect as we drove in. The ducks and... more
