For over 300 years, The Black Swan has been immersed in the history and day-to-day life of Pickering. Famous travellers, Coaching and the Pickering and Whitby railway are all part of it's past as an Inn, Hotel and social hub.
Booked for a meal on a Saturday night and despite it being extremely busy staff were very prompt, friendly and attentive. Liked the quirky decor and atmosphere. We both had pies and they were very tasty also selection of few different beers brewed on site was bonus! 🍺 will be visiting again.
Excellent Hotel, we stayed for a weekend break, the room was first class, as were the fixtures and fittings The staff and owners were warm and welcoming nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts were excellent as was the evening meal which we had on the day of our arrival. There was also excellent secure parking at the rear of the hotel. We would definitely recommend this hotel. Jill and Bob November 2023

Out door seating area was brilliant, with heaters ,and sheltered . It's an old inn so obviously stairs and steps , nooks and crannies , room had adjustable heating . We had a lovely stay, the staff were excellent. And breakfast delicious. Will stay again in a heartbeat
Arrived for a drink pre dinner reservation over the road . £17 for two drinks purchased and sat down to enjoy After 10 minutes we were advised that there was an online reservation on our table We said that we would enjoy our rather expensive drinks and leave. The young lady came back to inform us that the guests had arrived early, and that they would like us to leave now Again we said that we would rather finish our drinks Another of the bar staff came over with a refund of our drinks and Demanded that we leave The owner then also demanded that we leave immediately We again refused until we had finished our drinks This was in front of the whole pub If I could give no stars for service I would Avoid !
We have just arrived home after a wonderful stay at the Black Swan in Pickering, we stayed for three nights with friends, who also enjoyed every moment of their stay. The host Jill is very warm and welcoming and friendly, they also have Gemma who is an absolute asset to the pub and accommodation, The rooms were beautiful, immaculately clean, everything you need in the room, breakfast was delicious and everything was cooked to perfection and how we asked for it to be cooked. We liked it so much that we went back and stayed another night before we went home at the end of the week after having visited York for a few days. We would absolutely stay here again when visiting the area. We visited Pickering, Thorton, Lee, Dale, Fountain Abbey, York. We also had a lovely meal here at the pub, all the staff are very friendly and once again the place was absolutely immaculate. Highly recommend. Yes, lots of steps as described on their website and all of their access information. This is an old quirky building, with lots of character. They have also provided a lovely outdoor seating area which is a really nice touch. We look forward to returning. Five 🌟 from us. Best wishes, Andrea and Nick
