popped in for Sunday lunch two weeks ago, luckily we got a table in the window in the restaurant as every other table was taken. me, the missus and our new baby boy had our first lunch out and it was great, food, service and ambience. Went back last Tuesday for dinner with the boys, steak and chips, everyone agreed... More

The White Swan is the perfect Dales experience hotel-restaurant-pub – brilliant friendly atmosphere, lovely rooms, comfy beds, great bathrooms, fabulous local food breakfast, helpful welcoming staff, perfect wines & beers and very tasty food too. Perfectly situated in lovely Middleham. Could not be better. Good value too.

Having gone for a friend's birthday with a large group previously and stayed over and loved the food and ambience my husband and I decided to go for a meal out ourselves and we weren't disappointed. The food is very good, with a good choice and no silly prices but matches that of many overpriced restaurants/gastro pubs. There are tradition... More

Great position. Great food, excellent breakfast. Lovely staff. Great beer. If you don't know what a great pint tastes like try the Golden Sheep. Great old building with very comfortable rooms maintaining that old charm. Nice open fire in the pub bar. We have been several times and is perfect base for walking. Please don't tell too many people as... More

I chose the pizza with proper Italian pepperoni which was AWESOME, my mum had the roast belly pork which she said was brilliant, my grandad had the Whitby haddock and chips which he... More

Let me start by saying that we have stayed here, many, many times. It's the fabulous location, quirkiness and great, gloomy atmospheric bar which has drawn us back, time after time. What has always amused us in the past, has been the diabolical service.. for which The Swan had earned an enviable reputation!!! But there is a new charming Gaffer... More

A wonderful stay. Comfortable room in a convenient location. Excellent service. Delightful food

The White Swan, set overlooking the lovely market square in Middleham, is a friendly, clean and inviting hotel/pub/brasserie with plenty of character; log fires, wood beams, intimate bar etc We stayed in one of the more expensive (£95 per night) rooms at the front of hotel which was large, tastefully decorated and, particularly given the very nice cooked breakfast was...
