Beautiful, cozy, warm and inviting. Didn't want to leave. You've done an outstanding job on the place and we loved every minute in there. Thanks for the warm welcome. Kev, Donna and Dogs.

“Lovely traditional cottage, very quiet and peaceful.”

Brian July 2024

“Overall the holiday accommodation was adequate for my needs, however as I am an 87 year old man there was a shortage of space around the bed.”

It would have been an asset to have a 'grab bar' alongside the toilet, either fixed or one that would pull out from left side of toilet. Absolute ideal location in Pickering I felt secure.

- Brian, July 2024
Adrian July 2024

“It's a nice enough place to stay in, the shower isn't that good' you either get blasted with freezing jets from two horizontal nozzles or after adjustment get scolded!”

The sink tap in kitchen could be further towards sink as water flows onto board and goes towards wall, tap pressure too much

- Adrian, July 2024

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, very relaxing,just what we needed.”

- James, June 2024
Jean May 2024

“Lovely quirky cottage with bags of character.”

Comfy bed, surprisingly quite spacious kitchen. Despite being in the middle of Pickering it's tucked away and is quiet. Great base for exploring North Yorkshire. Can't do anything about the weather, but we found plenty to do and managed to avoid most of the rain. If I were to make one small suggestion, that would be having a pair of kitchen scissors (unless they were there and I just couldn't find them

“Had a lovely stay in this cosy cottage everything you could have needed was there all amenities within walking distance a great base for exploring surrounding areas lovely country walks close by .”

Would definitely stay again

“Firstly would like to say that your cottage was lovely ,but a couple of things kept cropping up.”

Firstly the entrance door had no stayback that held top door open and secondly the bottom door was a poor fit as although there was a door draft sausage dod type thing drafts seem to by pass it and a large draft was constantly there. secondly although you had left instructions to flush the loo it wasnt adequate. the tiolet had the oldy worldly touch but i think that it is nut practicle in the modern world and needs the header upgrading. hoping your not to upset of my complains but was asked to highlight my thoughts.

- Angela, September 2023
Tony August 2023

“Lovely cottage, better than depicted.”

Would stay here again, Recommend Ryedale folk museum at Hutton Le Hole

Tracy August 2023

“The location of the cottage was brilliant, but the cottage needed some TLC.”

The bed wasn't very comfortable and the sette wasn't very comfortable .We parked out car on the court yard and got blocked in.

- Tracy, August 2023
Zoe July 2023

“Cottage was fabulous - very comfy”

- Zoe, July 2023
Anne Marie July 2023

“I really liked the unspoilt feel of the building, sufficiently converted for comfort without losing its character.”

The wooden bolt which closes the bottom half of the door is EXTREMELY stiff. I was never sure I'd be able to open / close it. I had to keep the bottom half bolted shut to prevent the neighbours' large dog bursting in. I kept the top half open to let in more light and to air the place whenever I was in. I had to buy an elastic cord to hold the top half open (I did look round for string) as it just swung shut each time. The hard floor and leather sofa/chair is a great option for keeping the place clean as dogs are allowed but the soft furnishings have absorbed the smell of dog, especially the cushions, which a person plumps up around their back and shoulders in use and so they are in close human contact - could these be changed weekly and laundered? All you would need is two sets. I found the bed and bed linen supremely comfortable! With the hair dryer plugged in there is no mirror within reach - upstairs or downstairs. Thank you for the wine, chocolates, milk, tea and coffee, they were very welcoming. I found the oven easy to use (I have gas at home) but having to use pan lids that were too large meant the condensation from boiling etc constantly spilled over onto the the stove top. The kitchen tap splashes/drips onto the painted shelf because it is too far back from the sink. When it rained a lot of water came in through the wall and puddled on the stone window ledge behind the sink (where all the soil is) - this then seeped away somewhere over the next couple of hours! I knew to expect dogs in the shared courtyard and I am not scared of dogs. I also know you ask people to use the shared spaces respectfully. However this message might need reinforcing. My thigh was hurt and bruised by the neighbours' large boisterous dog which constantly jumped up at me when I was going in and out and they were outside with the dogs. They tried holding it by its back legs but this was not effective. I really enjoyed my stay. I make these comments not as a criticism but as helpful feedback.

Susan June 2023

“A very quirky cottage, clean and tidy but seems a little unfinished in places.”

Wouldn't recommend it to tall people. It suited us well enough and we enjoyed our stay.

- Susan, June 2023
Gary May 2023

“Location is absolutely superb.”

Cleanliness of kitchen pots and pans was at best questionable… crockery was limited too. All in all the kitchen equipment let down what was otherwise a memorable stay. As a pet owner a really good cottage. Overall this could be a really great place with a little more TLC and attention to detail.

- Gary, May 2023
Anne April 2023

“Lovely characterful, peaceful cottage.”

Bigger inside than expected from photos. Well laid out. In walking distance of the centre of Pickering and shops, Pickering Castle and North York Moors steam railway. Convenient for the moors, Scarborough, Whitby and York. We had a lovely time there.

- Anne, April 2023
Iain David April 2023

“Did not have any kindling in the cottage, but that's not a big issue, easily sorted.”

Have stayed previously and recommended to others. The only thing which really disappointed was one of the previous users had put a kitchen knife back in the drawer without washing it.

- Iain David, April 2023
Clare March 2023

“We love this cottage and it was our second visit, the location is great and very dog friendly.”

Cherry Tree is cosy and warm, could do with a little tlc but I understand it’s getting refurbished soon. The parking permit is a welcome extra. There was no fuel for the wood burner and none available outside either but apart from that minor inconvenience we had a wonderful holiday and will definitely come again.

- Clare, March 2023
Lynne March 2023

“Kept well informed about booking quick response from owners when had queries good price for length of stay.”

.Cherry tree very quaint small but bigger than it looks on photographs bed comfy and was a wardrobe and chest of drawers on mezzanine level good strong and hot shower heating also good but still bit draughty around door and sitting room window areas.Husband managed to get fire going... eventually.Kitchen had everything you needed.Shared courtyard wasn't an issue as in March was not used for sitting out but in warmer months probably wouldn't be ideal there was some garden furniture but did not use and didn't look that comfy is also overlooked.Nearby Chinese and Indian restaurants did not bother us didn't find it particularly noisy overall enjoyed our stay.

- Lynne, March 2023
Nick February 2023

“Information suggested a bottle of wine and chocolates would be provided but there wasn’t any wine.”

Some of the kitchen utensils needed cleaning before use. There was no parking permit despite being told it would be on the table. My wife bruised her knee when one of the kitchen unit doors came away as it wasn’t secured by its hinges but by chains!

- Nick, February 2023

Thank you for taking the time to write feedback. We apologise for not providing wine for you, this was an oversight on our part. The previous guests accidentally took the parking permit, and since your stay, it has been replaced. We have fixed the kitchen cupboard as well. We hope you enjoyed your stay, and we would love you to book with us again. Property Owner
Jacqueline February 2023

“Stayed at this property in February with my husband and two dogs .”

We usually stay in more remote areas but absolutely loved the convenience of this cottage close to the shops. We were lucky with the weather during the days and in the evening the cottage was warm despite the high ceiling. Would have booked for next year if cottage wasn’t going to have some building work done . Meanwhile, if anyone reading this can squeeze a week in then do so. You won’t be disappointed

- Jacqueline, February 2023
Anthony December 2022

“Great place for people with a pooch.”

The enclosed long garden area is great for playing with them. The property is a really good old building with original wood beams and really thick walls. It has all the facilities you need including a wood/coal burner stove. Very comfortable bed and furniture with a large three seater settee. The owner kindly provided a starter package of fuel along with a box of chocolates and bottle of wine. It is a great place to use as a base for touring the area. Will probably visit it again next year.

- Anthony, December 2022
Christopher December 2022

“Fantastic location.”

Secure car parking. Log burner made the cottage feel very warm and comfortable.

Sarah November 2022

“Lovely cottage stayed there a year ago.”

It’s so handy with having the dogs will definitely be back. Can also walk into Pickering

- Sarah, November 2022
Tracy November 2022

“What a fantastic cottage, great location right in the town with the added bonus of private parking.”

The owner goes the extra mile by providing tea, coffee, milk, a bottle of wine and chocolates which is lovely. The cottage has everything you could need and was great for our dog being able to let him out safely. We loved this place and would highly recommend it.

- Tracy, November 2022
Mark September 2022

“Very enjoyable stay every thing we needed place lovely and clean”

- Mark, September 2022
Iain David August 2022

“Well situated and comfortable.”

Only minor issue was the vacuum cleaner didn't pick up very well when doing a clean round. Would definitely go back.

- Iain David, August 2022
Mark August 2022

“Overall we really enjoyed our stay at cherry tree cottage ….”

One criticism would be the uncomfortable bed

- Mark, August 2022
Deborah July 2022

“Cherry Tree cottage is a lovely place to stay.”

The off street parking and secure garden/parking area are great for dog owners and those who worry about parking issues! The cottage centrally placed to explore coast and countryside as well as being on the doorstep of a lovely Yorkshire town. We have stayed there 3 times now. It doesnt matter what time of year we stay, we always love the place and North Yorkshire.

- Deborah, July 2022
Ian June 2022

“Smells from take aways and shower kept going hot and cold otherwise had a lovely stay”

- Ian, June 2022
Julia May 2022

“This cottage is a little gem (actually not so little!”

) A generous size for two people (plus our dog). Beautiful, origional features in this barn conversion, very quirky and interesting. There is everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and upstairs is a comfy bed and a great power shower. Absolutely love the traditional toilet! The enclosed garden is perfect for anyone who brings their dog and there a several lovely seated areas for their human! I would not hesitate to book Cherry Tree Cottage again.

- Julia, May 2022
Elizabeth May 2022

“Our stay at the cottage was so enjoyable.”

It is so comfortable and cosy and the lovely welcome pack was especially appreciated . Cherry tree cottage is one of the best supplied cottages we have stayed at from cleaning materials and toilet rolls to kitchen utensils. Pickering is a perfect base to see north East Yorkshire and the cottage itself is only a five minute stroll from the centre.

- Elizabeth, May 2022
Neil April 2022

“We cannot praise this cottage enough, from the period manuscripts on the walls to the genuine beams and overall comfort.”

The little touches of eggs and milk plus a welcome bottle of wine made you feel welcome instantly, alongside the helpful hints of best chip shop, bar and restaurant. The parking permit for the local car park was a godsend and saved you having to worry about where to park every day. Would definitely book again in the future

- Neil, April 2022
Elizabeth March 2022

“Rustic, quirky little cottage, good location in lovely town of Pickering.”

Wine, chocolate and milk a nice welcoming touch. The antiquated toilet could do with replacing, frustratingly difficult to flush, not eco friendly and incongruous with the very modern shower and mirrored lighting. Inadequate wine glasses, 1 very small one with chip in base and 1 extremely large one, not ideal for a romantic meal!!!! There was an awful smell in and around the fridge area in the kitchen, we informed the host so hopefully this will now have been addressed.

- Elizabeth, March 2022
Clare March 2022

“Very pleasant property.”

The cottage is quirky and full of character, it had everything we needed and was cosy and warm. Lovely secure garden for dogs and close to all the local amenities. Pickering is a thriving town with plenty of shops, pubs, restaurants etc all within walking distance. We loved it and would definitely book again.

- Clare, March 2022
Tracey March 2022

“Excellent location and facilities, beautiful quirky cottage but the bed was very uncomfortable, sloped towards shower room.”

If the bed is rectified would be 10/10 all the way.

- Tracey, March 2022
Lorraine January 2022

“We stayed in Cherry Tree Cottage at the end of January.”

Lovely cozy cottage with nice wood burning stove which we made full use of. The cottage is in a good position for walking into town but also for access to other places. It is set back from main road so quiet, with a parking area and nice courtyard which I’m sure is lovely in the summer. There is a shop, Chinese and Indian nearby with plenty of other shops and eateries within a short walk. Would fully recommend this and cottage next door which the owner kindly showed us round as he was completing some work there.

- Lorraine, January 2022
Tracey January 2022

“Great location, close to the centre of Pickering, but set back from the road in a courtyard.”

Amazing renovation completed of a medieval property. Great for dogs, with lovely wooden and flagstone flooring - easy to clean for muddy paws. Very responsive owner, when I had a fault (which we managed to fix). Appreciated the bottle of wine.

- Tracey, January 2022
Robert November 2021

“We had a lovely time at Cherry Tree Cottage.”

The original features make this place very special as well as the antique decorative features. Cottage was clean and everything needed for a break away. Great location very close to the centre of Pickering yet quiet and tucked away. The dogs loved it too!

- Robert, November 2021
Sarah November 2021

“A lovely cottage in a lovely position very quirky inside.”

Great for walking into Pickering. Lovely area for the dogs all enclosed outside. Really enjoyed my weekend away.

“The hoover wasn't suitable for cleaning up after animals and humans.”

Shower was going hot /cold. Not able to maintain temperature. All else good.

- Joanne, September 2021
Diane September 2021

“Booked this cottage for a quiet break to do some walking around North Yorkshire Moors.”

The cottage was fine although we had some interesting moments with working the shower (figuring out where water was coming from, water going cold, we like simple!). Also we had neighbours who were friendly enough but so were their dogs. My partner is a bit nervous around dogs and struggled with having to dodge the dogs jumping up at us every time we encountered them and trying to get into our cottage. The weather was beautiful but we were not comfortable sitting in the garden because there was no peace from the dogs. Pickering is a very dog friendly area so anyone not keen, or has any issues with dogs should take this into account. Otherwise a great area to explore. Pickering is a lovely little town, lots of tearooms and pubs for food, all really nice.

- Diane, September 2021
Samantha August 2021

“Cherry Tree Cottage is beautiful, we loved everything about it, and it was perfect for us and our two dogs.”

The only downside was the noise at night from the restaurants, however it becomes bearable after a couple of nights

- Samantha, August 2021
Emma July 2021

Simon October 2020

“The cottage was perfect for us, it was 5 minutes walk into the town, 25 minutes to whitby an 20 minutes to Scarborough.”

Local amenities on the doorstep. Very clean , we loved it. The owners left some welcome gifts which we appreciated and emailed me some useful information regarding places to eat and to visit. Totally enjoyed our stay. We would definitely book it again

- Simon, October 2020
Susan September 2020

- Kimberly, September 2020
Kelly August 2020

“It was a nice converted stable.”

In walking distance of local amenities. Lovely location walks for us and our dogs to the castle. Wooded area. We had takeaway from Indian in Pickering high street. Lovely . Visited Scarborough. Whitby . Filey. All visitors adhered too corona virus rules. You need to have cash for Filey at tea shops and ice cream parlour which we found strange due to pandemic. So there was no ice cream for us. Had a wonderful time would stay at Cherry tree again.

- Kelly, August 2020
Graham July 2020

“This was an interesting place .”

We felt it was an experience. A quirky stable . Comfy bed , strange old fashioned toilet . Private parking . This place is for adults only . The town Pickering which is 5 minutes walk is lovely. If you like something different , this is for you .

- Graham, July 2020
Robin March 2020

“A unique stone cottage, central to many Yorkshire attractions.”

The cottage itself has every modern amenity that you could need. Plus, it's decorated with antique & vintage items. The location of Pickering, meant that we could get to places like York, Whitby & Scarborough. Also, there were many places of interest, closer to home.

- Robin, March 2020
Steve March 2020

“Overall, the cottage was lovely and dog friendly.”

However, as mentioned by previous guests, the mattress needs to be upgraded as it was uncomfortable. There are some lovely period features at Cherry Tree cottage, beams in the kitchen, lovely banister railings and antiques items placed around the cottage, not to mention the lovely stable door is beautiful. Whilst we were there, we reported a strong smell of sewerage in the kitchen area and Matt called over to remedy this for us. However, it persisted and whilst not present all the time, made for an unpleasant experience at times. The cottage is well proportioned and the kitchen is spacious with lots of surface space too. The flag stone floors are a lovely focal point and the cottage was warm enough for us not to light the fire in March. Cherry tree cottage is a good base to explore North Yorkshire with the moors just a 15 minute drive away and Whitby and Scarborough within an hours drive. We did enjoy our stay here but more could be done in terms of comfort and making it a more pleasant place to stay.

- Steve, March 2020
Karen February 2020

“Spent a lovely weekend at Cherry Tree Cottage, everything was as described.”

Definitely be returning.

- Karen, February 2020
Jacqui January 2020

“The location of the cottage was great as a base for visiting the local area.”

Pickering itself had loads of places to eat and a good choice of local shops. The cottage had everything we needed and more. Make sure you shut the curtain behind the door to prevent draughts but then we got really toasty with the fire going. Thoughtful touches made the start of our trip, lovely biscuits!

- Jacqui, January 2020
Deborah December 2019

“Lovely comfortable and relaxing cottage in a great location.”

Pickering is a lovely town with plenty of great pubs, cafes and a good selection of shops. We enjoyed a trip on the steam train to Whitby on New Years Day which we really enjoyed too. The area is beautiful for moorland and coastal walks. We had 2 dogs with us and found the cottage really suitable for them as it opens onto an enclosed yard so no worries of them escaping onto a road etc. We definitely want to stay again.

- Deborah, December 2019
Jackie December 2019

“Fantastic all round experience from start to finish”

- Jackie, December 2019
Susan October 2019

“This was our second visit to cherry tree and it was just as good as the second.”

..the dogs loved it we could just open the front door and let them do there own thing as it had a fully secured yard. we even bought our family with us this time who stayed in the cottage thats right next door.. Would highly reccomend it.. weve re booked again for next year

- Susan, October 2019
Kenneth August 2019

Lovely shower but I feel it may be time to ditch the loo and chain

- Kenneth, August 2019
Norman July 2019

It was in an ideal location within walking distance to the shops, cafes and restaurants. Would definitely go back.

- Norman, July 2019
Stuart June 2019

“This a lovely cottage full of carefully selected decor to match the character of the building, it is situated central in the town so is convenient to the shops on foot.”

We found the owner Mathew extremely helpful when we had a personal logistical problem. We would recommend this a great base for visiting the area

- Stuart, June 2019
Michelle June 2019

Rachael April 2019

“We had a lovely time at Cherry Tree Cottage, its in a great central location.”

It's a really different cottage, lots of quirky period features. There are some lovely pubs and restaurants nearby. A few reviews mentioned the noise from the restaurants either side. We only noticed the hum of the fan and it stopped at 10.30. If you want a very memorable cottage very close to town, then I would highly recommended Cherry Tree.

- Rachael, April 2019
Ruth March 2019

“Cute, cosy cottage, this is our second visit.”

Feel instantly relaxed as we walk through the door. Well placed for forest, moorland and coastal walks and it has everything you need right on the doorstep. We’ve had another lovely week. Thank you.

- Ruth, March 2019
Andrew March 2019

“Lovely cottage, really rustic and cosy.”

We felt that the owner could do more with the outside area as it didn't look like the picture on the website.

- Andrew, March 2019
Kenneth March 2019

“Very good traditional barn conversion.”

Excellent location. The old cistern toilet isn’t easy to operate and doesn’t always flush the waste away. But we would stay here again for sure.

Janine December 2018

“We had a lovely stay at Cherry Tree cottage.”

The only downside was it was very cold on arrival and being a converted barn with plenty of natural ventilation it did take a good day to heat up but once it was warm, it was lovely. The owner was great and answered any queries we had very quickly. It is a lovely cottage and uniquely quirky. It’s in a great location close to the small town centre but lovely and quiet.

- Janine, December 2018
Brian November 2018

“Where do I start?”

I emailed the owner before I went to the cottage about how clean it was as I had some information given on the website as to how other people had complained about it not being very clean while they were there. Sykes assured me that the cottage would have a deep clean before my arrival.

- Brian, November 2018
Elizabeth November 2018

“Could do with a refresh of furnishing”

- Elizabeth, November 2018
Julie October 2018

“The holiday was great.”

If there is one thing I would say is that even though it stated on the property gates for the public to keep clear. On a few occasions the public parked their cars there and therefore we could neither get in nor out of the property otherwise everything else was fine .

- Julie, October 2018
Maureen October 2018

“Cottage was lovely but on the 1st day there was a leak in kitchen we reported it ...”

Cottage was lovely but on the 1st day there was a leak in kitchen we reported it and the landlord came to check but a plumber was needled the plumber came back 4 days alway at tea time just around the time we were due to have our evening meal first time he was on his own the rest of the time there we two we couldn’t eat because the leak was under the sink so we had to stay in the lounge we asked them to come back sat as we would be leaving and the leak was not a problem as they’d isolated it but they can back fri tea time again I abandoned tea and put the tv on but they were rude laughing and joking so load I couldn’t hear the tv I thought they were very rude for days of the plumbers put a dampener on our break

We were left a local newspaper and a fruitcake on arrival which was a lovely touch. Great location. Loved our time there

“Cottage was in a poor state of repair, the vacum cleaner was totally inadequate ...”

Cottage was in a poor state of repair, the vacum cleaner was totally inadequate for a pet friendly property making it difficult to keep on top of the dog hair,

- Michael, July 2018
Karen July 2018

“We had a wonderful time - the cottage being central to where we wanted to visit.”

In easy reach of York, Whitby and Scarborough. Pickering and the surrounding villages were really delightful. The cottage did not meet our expectations though. The cottage we found to be grubby and in need of a thorough clean - we had to wash the crockery before we could use it. The lovely picture of the courtyard with its pleasant vista and seating was not in reality what you got - it has altered somewhat and looks quite different now - very sparse. We also found it quite noisy in the evening because on either side of the cottage is a restaurant and a take away with quite noisy extractor fans. All in all we did have a wonderful time and are very reluctant to write such a negative review.

- Karen, July 2018
Robina June 2018

“We loved the area and the cottage but unfortunately I found the cottage to be very grubby it needs a thorough cleaning from top to bottom, I even had to clean the washer inside before I could use it, my hubby wasn’t happy that a lot of the Crockery had chips and cracks in them, we had to come home early as I wasn’t happy in it.”

Could do better, such a shame.

- Robina, June 2018
Sue May 2018

“We really enjoyed our holiday at Cherry Tree Cottage Pickering.”

It was central to getting out and about. Our Dog enjoyed his holiday as well. We would definitely use Sykes Cottages again.

- Sue, May 2018

“Really characterful cottage, in a great location.”

Missing a bath mat, baking tray and hairdryer otherwise all facilities were met.

- Helen, May 2018
Andrew March 2018

“Lovely cosy and quirky little cottage, friendly owner, highly recommended.”

- Andrew, March 2018
Grant February 2018

“Good communications with the property owner before and during our stay - indeed he texted after we arrived to see that all was OK.”

The only downside was the snowie weather which limited our days out but the property is very close to an Indian restaurant , Chinese takeaway and several pubs - the latter allowed our dogs in as well - plus cafes so we still had plenty to do. Would recommend this property for a couple wanting a break away.

- Grant, February 2018
Doug February 2018

“Owners info sheet and pre holiday email gave all the additional information that we needed , very nice touch for the owner to take the time to go the extra .”

The property was close to Scarborough, Whitby, York and the Yorkshire moors. We had a fantastic time using the log burner and relaxing in the cottage. We also loved the fact that we could take our dog with us.

Lynn April 2016

“The cottage was located within a few minutes of the town centre.”

It had an enclosed garden which was excellent for our dog. It had a wood burning stove and central heating which made it very cosy in the evenings. Overall the cottage was excellent value for money.

“The cottage is ideally located in Pickering, close to all amenities, shops, pubs and restaurants.”

The cottage is quirky but very endearing, very warm and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cherry Cottage. We will be recommending it to friends and family and we will return at some point in the future.

“Cherry Tree cottage is a lovingly converted coach house and stables.”

It is very comfortable and well furnished. The shower is excellent and the bed very comfy. We had a great week with our 2 King Charles cavaliers. Visited Whitby, Scarborough, Malton, Helmsley and Eden camp [highly recommended] also had a couple of days enjoying Pickering and the walks. Would certainly recommend this cottage. Please try Capplemans fish and chip shop. Best we've ever had.

Deborah April 2015

“The overall unique character and "quirkiness" of this cottage makes it stand out from the crowd.”

Along with the very helpful owner who gave good advice regarding the local area and amenities. Also, the off road parking made loading and unloading - both luggage and dog - very easy.

“The cottage is lovely.”

It's romantic with loads of character and in a great location. The owner was really helpful and I couldn't recommend staying here more highly. Our long weekend break went so quickly and I was devastated when we had to leave. Thank you so much.

Jane October 2014

“It was a lovely, cosy cottage, ideal for a couple.”

The facilities were excellent and everything was as described in the booking details. The log burner was a great addition, the weather was very mild for the time of year, but lighting the log burner after a long day out made the cottage wonderfully cosy.

- Jane, October 2014
Rob August 2014

“Cherry Tree Cottage is beautiful with the "wow" factor as you walk through the door.”

Well furnished and interesting features. Great location, close to the town without all the noise. Parking on the road was easy enough if you don't fancy attempting the drive! Pickering is a great base to explore this area, and is a fab town in itself.

Pam September 2013

“This quaint, quirky cottage in Pickering was perfectly placed.”

Just minutes walk to shops, pubs, restaurants and the train station and yet once inside the wooden gate leading to the cottage it felt very private. It was perfect for taking the dog as once the gate was closed it was safe for her to be outdoors. As a bonus, the car was safely parked yards from the cottage in private. There was a comprehensive instruction booklet in the cottage and also a welcoming bottle of milk in the fridge as well as cookies. All amenities worked very well and we will go again I'm sure.

- Pam, September 2013
Verity September 2013

“Loved the cottage, it was warm, cosy and very inviting, and the wood burner was an extra special treat!”

The owners were very accommodating and helpful, and went above and beyond to answer any queries and made us very welcome. Pickering is a great starting point for exploring The North York Moors, and the East Coast on foot, and for next time for us definitely by bike also. We loved every minute of it!

- Verity, September 2013
Phil April 2013
