Brits love to be beside the seaside

Oh we do love to be beside the seaside, but if that’s not possible, then the next best thing is to be within easy striking distance of the Blue Flag beaches that have the coveted Quality Coast Award for cleanliness – as is The White Swan Inn at Pickering, North Yorkshire.

At the White Swan Inn they have the best of everything on site – fine food and wine, superior luxury accommodation and a warm welcome for guests of all ages and tastes when they arrive – and to cap it all, the White Swan is within an easy car ride of 3 of the recently voted best 6 beaches on the Yorkshire coast: Whitby West Cliff, Filey and Scarborough, so make sure you pack your buckets and spades when you stay at the Inn. And if you want to leave your car behind, you can even get to the Whitby beach by using the nearby North Yorkshire Moors steam railway - no parking problems once you get there, fantastic scenery from the train and better for the environment, too.

The White Swan Inn offers comfort, luxury and attention to detail, in fact everything you need to make your stay simply the best. Visit the website - white-swan.co.uk - for further details.
