Das The White Swan ist derzeit das vornehmste Hotel in der Stadt Middleham und erfreut sich einer vorteilhaften Lage mit Aussicht auf den Marktplatz. Das Hotel umfasst 17 individuell eingerichtete Zimmer mit eigenem Bad und besticht durch ein Ambiente, das von einer traditionellen, mit Steinplatten gestalteten Bar, die Ihnen eine Auswahl an Fassbieren und Weinen im Gals bietet, und von einer modernen Brasserie mit 60 Plätzen bestimmt wird, in der Sie morgens Kaffee sowie jeden Tag ein Mittag- und ein Abendessen erhalten. Die Burg Middleham erlaubt Aussicht auf das Hotel und die Stadt und ist für ihre Pferderennbahn bekannt. Sie ist auch ein hervorragender Ausgangspunkt für Wanderer oder Besucher, die das Tal erkunden möchten. The area is steeped in history. The castles of Middleham, Richmond and Castle Bolton are within easy reach, as are Jervaulx and Fountains Abbey.

The market town of Leyburn is 10 minute drive away, with Harrogate, Ripon and York all within an hour's drive.

Middleham is a prominent racing town, and is known as the 'Newmarket of the North', with many of the country's top trainers based in the town. As such, the racecourses of Catterick, Ripon, Wetherby, Thirsk and York are within an hour's drive.

Local activities include the Forbidden Corner (a grotto) for the young and old, whilst Black Sheep brewery at Masham (20 minutes away) provide tours and a taste of the local brew. For food lovers, Hawes is the home of Wensleydale cheese, where tours can also be taken, and Brymor Ice Cream is also a favourite for those with a sweet tooth.

Fishing, walking, tennis, pony trekking and golf can all be arranged locally. The White Swan is one of Middleham's most popular and attractive inns, recently refurbished and extended due to the purchase of the town's old post office. The hotel now boasts a 60 seat brasserie and 5 new bedrooms.

The 17 rooms are individually decorated and have either a contemporary feel or a more traditional flavour, though all retain the charm of this historic inn, whilst incorporating the most up-to-date facilities.

The brasserie serves morning coffee, lunches including a range of sandwiches and dinner. The menu provides the very best modern, cosmopolitan cuisine, from pizza and pasta dishes to seasonal game and fish. The brasserie also has an early bird menu and a 'plat du jour' dish.

The atmospheric bar is full of cosy ambiance, with traditional flag floor and open fire in the winter, providing an ideal setting for a cosy drink.
