“Beck cottage provided an excellent base from which to explore North Yorkshire.”

The cottage is cosy and comfortable, well equipped and spotless. Positioned opposite the NYMR, we so enjoyed the steam trains puffing by and from the small courtyard garden you can see Pickering castle. Pickering is a delightful town with all the amenities we required and. are only a few minutes walk away from the cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will recommend to family and friends.

“Absolute gem of a cottage!”

We are big train enthusiasts and this place couldn't have been more perfect. The place had an amazing view of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, but the cottage itself was also really charming and a lovely place to stay. Great location and the cottage had everything we needed :) Will definitely be staying here again when visiting North Yorkshire.

Amanda December 2023

“When you can imagine living in a holiday cottage, then the owners have clearly done something right!”

Fantastic location with the heritage steam train to the front and Pickering Castle to the back, plus being easily walkable into Pickering. The cottage had great attention to detail, from the coat hooks in the bedroom to the resources onsite. Toasty warm in this cold weather and easily accessible instructions about equipment. A lot of thought has gone into the cottage and the owners kindly notified us that we could access it early. Amazing lemon drizzle cake, and everything you would need for a cuppa on arrival. One of the best cottages we have ever stayed at, - Thank you!

- Amanda, December 2023

Thank you for the kind feedback it’s much appreciated Kind regards Bill & Yvonne Property Owner

Rob October 2023

“This was our second visit to Beck Cottage and it was as lovely this time as it was the first.”

Great location for exploring with plenty of things relatively local to keep our 6 year old son busy and of course you can't beat the sight and sound of the steam trains passing by. The cottage is kept exceptionally clean and well appointed and the welcome pack is a great touch. The owners are very accomodating too as they changed their plans for us so we could book an extra night so we could take the boy on the NYMR Light Spectacular and their communication and care is top rate. Certainly hope to come back again!

- Rob, October 2023

Thank you very much for the feedback, we look for to your return Regards Bill & Yvonne Property Owner

“We had a lovely week in Beck cottage.”

The location was perfect, with shops restaurants and the railway only a few minutes walk away. The cottage was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and equipped with everything needed for our stay.

“Beck Cottage is lovely.”

It has everything you could wish for for a comfortable and relaxing break. The location is superb - overlooking the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and only a short walk into Pickering centre. The parking arrangement works well too. As well as being a nice place, Pickering is an ideal base from which to explore north Yorkshire.

Kirsty August 2023

“Beautiful cottage in a fantastic location.”

Beck Cottage was pristine inside and very comfortable with lovely beds and sofas. Everything you could possibly need was included, even things you wouldn't think of such as binoculars and torches, along with some lovely welcome gifts too. Beck Cottage is directly opposite a little level crossing just before the station at Pickering and we could watch the steam trains going past from the bedroom and lounge windows. It is just a few minutes walk into Pickering itself, and Pickering Castle is just behind the cottage and you can see it from the pretty little back patio. We will certainly return to Beck Cottage, and would give it 10/10.

- Kirsty, August 2023

Thank you for that great feedback , we look forward to you returning to Beck Cottage. Kind regards Bill & Yvonne Property Owner
Michael August 2023

Faye August 2023

“Beautiful cottage with lovely courtyard to sit in at the back.”

Great location for exploring Yorkshire and to sit and watch the steam trains from the lounge window. A short stroll into Pickering which is a lovely market town, and close to the train station which is worth going on the steam train to Whitby for the day. Would definitely stay again. Really enjoyed our relaxing stay thank you.

- Faye, August 2023

Thank you for the kind feedback,we’re pleased you had a good time . Kind regards Bill & Yvonne Property Owner
Elaine June 2023

“Lovely location with a good view of the level crossing just outside the NYMR station so we could watch the trains arrive & depart.”

The cottage was roomy, comfortable & very well appointed. I take it as read that the knives in any holiday cottage will be blunt but not here! Sharp, quality, Sabatier knives so my sharpener stayed packed. Comfortable beds & bed linen, a good shower & thick towels; all indicative of the thought & care the owners have put in. The parking permit was an added bonus in a town where parking is both difficult & expensive even with a Blue Badge. We plan to return next year.

- Elaine, June 2023

Thank you for the great feedback, we’re pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your return . Kind regards Bill & Yvonne Property Owner
Karl June 2023

Michelle May 2023

“This is an amazing cottage, everything is thought about to the fine detail.”

The setting is brilliant for access everywhere, from walks into town to country paths. Never slept so well on holiday the bed was comfy but the bedding was the best! Can’t wait to go again.

- Michelle, May 2023

Thank you for the great feedback, it’s great you had a good time Many thanks Bill & Yvonne Property Owner
Theresa April 2023

“The location was great and we liked watching the trains from the lounge window.”

Lovely welcome gifts which included home made cake. The owners had left the instructions for everything by each item, e.g. by oven, by TV, practical & helpful rather than having to find instructions in a folder. I liked that a mat had been provided for straighteners/tongs to cool down on, a small touch but again practical. No issues with the car park arrangements and a thoughtful card had been left with details of what work was being done next door & when. Basically we loved the cottage and had a great week

- Theresa, April 2023

Thank you for the kind feedback we’re pleased you had a good week Kind regards Bill & Yvonne Property Owner

Cosy and comfortable and the owners have thought of everything. Would not hesitate to go back to this beautiful cottage in a great area for seeing fabulous Yorkshire. (Please can you call me Mrs K or Mrs D on the published feedback as I have quite a distinctive first name).

“The cottage had everything you could could wish for.”

It was extremely well maintained and all furnishings, towels and bedding were good quality. The location was lovely to see the Santa Special train going past from the front window and we enjoyed lots of walks around the castle at the back. I would recommend the cottage to anyone wishing to visit Pickering.

“We cannot praise this cottage highly enough.”

The thought and attention to detail is second to none. Extremely clean, and everything in the cottage you could possibly need. It is truly a home from home. I would not hesitate to book this cottage again and fully intend to do so.

- Bernadette, December 2022

Thank you for the great feedback, we look forward to your next stay in Beck Cottage. Kind regards Bill & Yvonne Property Owner
Rob October 2022

“The cottage was as described on the website and was very spacious.”

Very comfortable and clean with great views of the railway from the front window and the sight of Pickering castle from the back door. Great location for exploring out onto the moors, going to the coast or travelling into York. No issues with parking in the car park over the road (a permit is provided for one car) and we heard no noise from the renovations next door (the owners left us a welcome pack with a card explaining what work was being done and when there may possibly be any noise which was a thoughtful touch). The kitchen was really well equipped and clean and the log burner in the lounge is highly efficient (we would suggest turning the central heating down if you intend to use the fire as the radiators are very efficient at keeping the cottage warm!!). One of the best cottages we have stayed in - highly recommended!

- Rob, October 2022

Thank you for your kind feedback , we really appreciate it. Kind regards Bill &Yvonne Property Owner
Paul October 2022

“What a lovely cottage.”

So clean , comfortable and well equipped with everything that you need. Lovely gifts left by the owner as well was a nice touch.

Beck cottage is also ideal to stay at for visiting Whitby Scarborough Briglington York and so many more places. We will definitely be back

Anita September 2022

“Very well equipped, cosy, cottage.”

It was spotlessly clean. The small extra touches, such as milk,tea etc were very much appreciated. The cottage is well placed for touring North Yorkshire and ideal for a railway enthusiast, with the NYMR on the doorstep. We would not hesitate to recommend the cottage to friends and family.

“We had a wonderful week at Beck Cottage with the family.”

Ideally situated opposite the steam railway in Pickering - such a delight to see the traditional steam trains going back & forth. The cottage was so comfy & cosy. Everywhere was exceptionally clean! All the fixtures & fittings were of high quality- the cottage had everything you could possibly need. The beds were super comfy too so we all enjoyed a good nights sleep after exploring North Yorkshire each day. Would definitely recommend Beck Cottage & we look forward to booking another family holiday there soon. Thank you!

You have furnished the cottage beautifully and made it a real home from home.

- Stuart, July 2022
Alex July 2022

“An excellently maintained and managed cottage with all the amenities you need.”

A pity that the ongoing renovation next door made the outdoor seating area unusable due to the dust and grime. Pickering is an ideal location to explore the north Yorkshire moors and coast by car, on foot and in some parts by the NYMR train service. There's also a wide variety of good to excellent eating places in Pickering and it's surrounding areas.

- Alex, July 2022
Simon June 2022

“Delightful cottage with comfortable bed and sofas.”

Lovely to sit in the living room and watch the trains go by 50 metres away. Couldn't fault it. Many good pubs & eateries a short walk away.

Christopher May 2022

“To be honest the cottage was pretty much perfect, and there was no activity on the building works during our stay.”

The location was great and directions arrival and departure was easy. We loved the birds and the feeders, and the house really was spotless when we arrived. The massive bonus for was the NYMR, we became know the the station staff and some of the drivers. Had a fantastic time and did not want to leave, there was a couple minor improvements that could be made, but here doesn't seem fair to state them.

- Christopher, May 2022
Karen April 2022

“This has to be one of the best cottages we’ve ever stayed at.”

The instructions for arrival were meticulous, as was the attention to detail within the cottage; there is even a butter knife! Beautifully decorated and very comfortable with a perfect location, within an easy walk of the town centre, but far enough away to be peaceful. I would definitely return!

- Karen, April 2022

“Wonderful cottage in Pickering perfectly located to walk to shops and resturants.”

Elizabeth March 2022

“We enjoyed our stay at Beck cottage, it is very well equipped, clean and comfortable with lots of nice little thoughtful touches.”

For example, magnifying mirrors and flexible lights to help when applying makeup, doing hair etc. The cottage is well placed to access all that Pickering and the surrounding area has to offer. We walked the town trail which we found in the cottage, it is worth doing as Pickering has some interesting history. The owners of the cottage were very pleasant and accommodating, helping us as much as they could, many thanks to them.

- Elizabeth, March 2022

Thank you for the kind feedback , we hope you will come to Beck Cottage again, Kind Regards Bill & Yvonne Property Owner
Linda March 2022

“Beck cottage provides very lovely and homely holiday accommodation, the owners have put a great deal of thought into providing everything you could possibly need (and more) for your stay.”

The rooms are spacious and have extremely comfortable sofas and beds and there is also a very well equipped kitchen with a dining table. There are lots of lovely touches throughout the cottage e.g fluffy towels. well placed mirrors and plenty of electrical sockets. and the owners have also provided lots of board games, and DVDs. Although the property doesn't have a garden there is a very cute outdoor seating space where you cans sit and watch the birds come down to feed from the well stocked bird feeders. The cottage is extremely well placed being only a short walk onto the high street where you can find lovely cafes, pubs serving food, independent food and gift shops, takeaways and a lovely Italian restaurant (Figaros). Lidl is also not too far from the cottage if you need a supermarket. If you enjoy walking it is ideal for lovely walks straight from the door and you don't have to travel too far to access the moors and the coast. And if you enjoy trains - it is directly opposite the NY Moors Steam Railway, sadly not operational during our stay (Opens April). All in all , a perfect cottage which we would definitely visit again.

Jon July 2020

“Beck Cottage was immaculate, clean and comfortable.”

Instructions had been left for just about everything which made life easier. There was a lovely welcome back including a delicious home made cake. Parking was just over the road opposite cottage and though the steam trains were off due to the current epidemic they were still running them every so often to test them out and you can watch them from the window. Pickering is a lovely town with plenty of shops, cafes, takeaways and pubs. Whitby, Scarborough and York are all just a short drive away and Flamingo land is only 20 minutes away. Overall a lovely stay at Beck Cottage and beautiful Yorkshire and will definitely return

The cottage was immaculate yes there was the steep stairs but it was not a problem to us . There is a tiny garden which is well planted up you can sit out there . Cannot fault this cottage at all one of the very best we have been in . Will be coming back in 2021 . A well worth hoilday in a lovely cottage . Thank you to Mr morris and family

The location was good. Pickering is a delightful market town and is in a great position for exploring the North Yorkshire countryside and the coast. We enjoyed having views of the steam trains from the living room window each day and appreciated the discount vouchers for travelling on NYMR! Pickering has some great tea rooms and restaurants available. We would recommend Beck Cottage for anybody looking for a holiday in this region.

“We had a fantastic time in Beck cottage and the surrounding areas.”

We enjoyed it so much that we have already booked again for next February. The cottage was very homely with everything you needed . A lovely welcome pack with home made cake, very thoughtful. There is lots to do in the area and if you get a chance then go and have a look in Beck Isle Museum in the heart of Pickering Such a lovely place and a fantastic holiday

Robin October 2018

“Since staying at Beck Cottage last year, the owners have made some changes (new carpets and decoration etc.”

) making it even better. The cottage is warm, clean and cosy. As for the view well, if you're into steam trains couldn't be better; the cottage overlooks a level crossing and you can sit comfortably on the sofa and watch the trains go by. The town shops are a simple five minute walk away, with a market on Mondays. There are two supermarkets; Co-op and Lidl. The cottage is a great base for exploring the Yorkshire Moors and is easy driving distance from Scarborough and Whitby on the coast and Sutton Bank and Castle Howard further inland.

Alison September 2018

“Couldn't recommend this cottage more, exceptionally clean with all the facilties you would need to enjoy a week away!”

We were opposite the steam railway which was fascinating, if you're worried about it being noisy then don't be as it hardly made any difference at all. We headed up to Scarborough and Whitby through the North Yorkshire National Park, absolutely stunning, and then headed down the coast through some picturesque villages, Saltburn was beautiful with a long beach ideal for a long walk, travelled to York one day which was full of old beautiful buildings and of course York Minster, Castle Howard is also a must see! We were lucky to have the village to walk to if we needed anything and of course some lovely country pubs! Great place, great cottage, stunning scenery what more could you want

Paul July 2018

“This is an absolutely superb holiday cottage.”

The whole was furnished, decorated and equipped to a very high standard indeed. We were warned about steep stairs, but Mr. Dawson, who suffers from arthritis, did not find them a problem at all! We would recommend this cottage to anyone. Quite excellent.

- Paul, July 2018

“Lovely comfortable cottage in a picturesque location.”

The cottage is well looked after and has everything you need.Not too far from any maln places to visit.Will be booking with Sykes again.

- Susan, May 2018
Janine May 2018

“The cottage was in a great location, so close to town and just opposite the steam trains, which made it interesting each morning to hear them starting up for the day.”

You can tell that this property is looked after and cleaned by the owners, not a management company, as the attention to detail made a big difference, and it was the best place we had stayed in Pickering.

- Janine, May 2018
Gordon April 2018

“I would heartily recommend Beck Cottage, we had an amazing stay there.”

As well as the cottage the town of Pickering and surrounding area is awesome (in the true sense of the word)

- Gordon, April 2018
Penny April 2018

“What's more to tell?”

The cottage was so lovely and the décor was beautiful. Right opposite the steam train crossing it was like being a child again! Pickering is a wonderful town with everything you need. So many castles, daffodils, walks, villages and seaside's. Sand looked so welcoming. Would recommend this cottage to anyone.

- Penny, April 2018

Tony March 2018

“We booked the cottage for a trip on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway as Pickering station is almost opposite the cottage.”

The owners were very helpful when we had a problem with the WI FI. They arrived within the hour. With a call to the provider it was soon sorted. The cottage is very comfortable with all you require for a long or short stay. The wood burning stove adds to the comfort also there is a washing machine, dishwasher, gas cooker and microwave.

- Tony, March 2018
Laura March 2018

“We had a fantastic week at Beck Cottage.”

It was absolutely spotless, really cosy & stylish, well-equipped and full of all the little touches that make it a pleasure to stay in. We'd definitely stay there again!

- Laura, March 2018
Rebekah February 2018

“Beck Cottage was a lovely place to stay.”

We enjoyed it so much that we've already booked it again for the summer! It's an extremely comfortable house, both well equipped and warm. Pickering is within walking distance so it's easy to find restaurants and bars that don't require a driver. Next time we'll do the steam railway and the castle as both of these were closed for the winter.

- Rebekah, February 2018
Lynne December 2017

“I booked this cottage purely because it had been previously owned by my Grandmother from the late sixties to the early nineties and I have many fond memories of the cottage and Pickering itself.”

I celebrated my sixtieth birthday at the cottage. The cottage has been much improved with the addition of new double glazed windows and a wood burning stove, although even on the coldest night in December, the gas central heating provided all the warmth required. The owners have made every effort to retain and enhance the "cottagey" feel with stripped internal doors. It really had the feeling of "home from home". The cottage is perfectly placed - opposite the NYMR - underneath the Castle - and within walking distance of the shops.

- Lynne, December 2017
Robin October 2017

David March 2017

“A great deal of thought and effort has been spent on this cottage.”

It has good quality fixtures and fittings including a comfortable bed and high quality linen. Having a washing machine and fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, there was nothing that was missing, like home from home. There was nothing to fault at all. It was spotlessly clean and could be used as the "standard" for all Sykes Cottages. Many thanks to the owners.

Sarah August 2016

“Very clean and comfortable cottage - we were thrilled to be so close to the steam railway and the trains.”

The small courtyard garden over looked by one of the towers of Pickering Castle was a haven for us and the local wildlife! Wesaw several species of butterfly, a robin and a tiny toad! We loved the cottage and it's location and would definitely book again. Many thanks to the owners for their attention to detail. The pint of milk in the fridge on arrival was most welcome!

- Sarah, August 2016

- Lindsay, July 2016
Susan June 2016

- Alan, September 2015
Robert August 2015

“The owners have added that little touch of luxury in things like kitchen equipment and especially beds and bedding.”

Fantastic to be woken - not too early - by a steam engine outside the window.Finally Pickering is a wonderful centre for castles, houses, and the coast.

- Robert, August 2015
Leonard June 2015

“Everything was enjoyable, the whole holiday was fantastic and Beck Cottage was just to die for in every way!”

The cottage was first class and every thing you would need for a relaxing stay, was supplied. I would like to say thank you very much to the owners.

“The standard of cleanliness meant we felt at home straight away.”

In close proximity to the railway, the first morning I watched the first steam train of the day (9.15) pulling out of the station from in bed. Had high quality bed linen and towels. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend and wouldn't hesitate to book this cottage again.

“We loved our holiday at Beck Cottage.”

In fact, we felt like we could have moved in! Everything was perfect and it was so nice to find a Welcome Package waiting for us, which was very kind. It was a perfect spot for a quiet time and so close to the town for all the facilities in Pickering. We found ourselves using the local Butchers, Bakers and Grocers, as well as the Tea rooms, rather than the Pubs and restaurants. We would happily go back to Beck Cottage.

“The cottage was perfect, it's location was great.”

It is a very busy road that runs past it but the noise wasn't too bad. Internally, there was everything we could have needed and the living room was so cosy and comfortable. We would definitely consider staying there again and would recommend it to family and friends.

Darren May 2014

“Beck Cottage was clean and tidy and newly decorated.”

The cottage had all the utensils we needed and was conveniently situated close to the town shops. The children loved hearing the trains go by in the mornings and walking to Pickering Castle. The drive to the coast took about half an hour.

- Darren, May 2014
Anne April 2014

“We were very impressed with the standard of Beck Cottage which is near to the town centre.”

You can even watch the steam train passing from the window! Pickering itself is a great base for getting to lots of interesting places in all directions without too much travelling involved. We would certainly recommend both the cottage and the town.

- Anne, April 2014
