The White Swan Inn(Pickering, Yorkshire, UK) |
|||
|
|
In the town of Pickering, The White Swan is at once a 16th century coaching inn, a debonair retreat , a wine buff's enclave and a gastronomic Shangri-La. True indulgence is found in the exhaustive details like The White Company toiletries and fresh cotton buds in the ample bathrooms, glossy magazines waiting in your bedroom and delectable home-made conserves, ice-creams and bread vying for attention in the restaurant. Immaculate presentation is not the only thing that makes this hotel stand out. The White Swan Inn is one of just five UK restaurants supplied by the Ginger Pig - voted National Food Producer of the Year 2005 - and the only one outside London. Salivate at the same lamb as at The River Café, or the same calves liver as at Fergus Henderson's St John's of Smithfield. The talented Buchanans have exceptional skills. Deidre - one of the first Dames de la Jurade de Saint Emilion - has stocked the wine cellar unusually well, with clarets back to 1934 and an outstanding range of Saint Emilion. They haven't overlooked a warming selection of malt whiskies and well-kept Yorkshire ales, either. Pickering is the perfect gateway for exploring the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors National Park, which begins just two miles up the road. Castle Howard, York and the steam train to Whitby are also within easy striking distance.
