The rooms are simple but clean. Just what an walker needs. There was an friendly girl invite to the hotel and bar. Good tasted cold beer when arrived.Fantastic food at the evening. Nice women served the breakfast at the morning. Nice idea to leave the sticks and boots downstairs. Actually they dried the boots in front of a fan.

Don't go here. You're not welcome. Go to the campsite near the church where there are spare tents and you will be warmly welcomed whatever time of day you arrive. It's not a good experience at the White Swan despite it being the only place to eat in the village. The landlord has no customer service skills at all. We three senior experienced walkers were made to feel like children when we arrived. His instructions are extreme and the way he speaks is rude. After dinner we asked for coffee but were brusquely told he couldn't possibly serve us coffee and that we could only have drinks from the bar. The portions of food can only be described as mean - breakfast was one small tomato, one tiny fried egg and one small sausage. The atmosphere with other walkers at dinner was however it's saving grace. Great cameraderie. Hence the one star. Wish someone else would take this pub over.

Nice pub, decent menu. You have to order the food before 5pm and then it's cooked and ready to serve from 6.30. I had the liver and onions with veg and gravy. It was tasty. The veg cooked well. The gents opposite me had the pie which looked really good as well. They said it was. Pavlova for dessert. Nice, fresh. I don't drink any more, but there was a good selection of local ales as well.

I nearly did not go into this pub having read the previous reviews. As I stepped into the village after a 20 mile walk (coast to coast), they opened their doors unexpectedly As you would expect this time of year it is down season and business out in this part of the countryside don't operate the same as peak season. They offered me a seat and service immediately, and explained that you have to really book ahead this time of year to get food, and probably wouldn't usually open for business until around 7 or 8 pm (for locals I'm guessing) , however I was lucky and someone else booked ahead meaning I got served as well. I got offered a place to camp locally (as it was off season) I had an absolutely divine meal (although I had to wait, I was informed at the beginning that it is off season times tend to be longer) although under construction the shower facilities were modern, spacious and very clean (I didn't touch the walls when showering either). They sell home made coast to coast badges and medals for a very reasonable price (I bought 1) Given the opportunity I would not pass this place, I got chatting to the residential barman Kevin and the landlord steeve and his wife and they were most pleasant and sociable You can see they have invested a great deal into this pub and it should be appreciated. If I have a problem with a service I tend to take it up with the person providing as I tend to get a good response. Alternatively you can keep your mouth shut and be a keyboard warior to nearly no effect.

We were the first visitors of the day having walked from Richmond that morning. The landlord was “quirky” but quite friendly. We booked for dinner but had to take an early 6pm slot as they run a system of first to book has the 6pm slots and each subsequent booking is at progressively later 10 minute intervals. The other barman seems to have an odd personality for bar work but served our drinks and took our food order ok. It’s the only pub in the village. Food was nice and reasonable value.
