Overall, we had a pleasant stay at this cottage. It's in a great location, within a 2-minute walk of Lidl and the village centre, and is ideally situated for exploring the area—around 30–40 minutes from Whitby and Scarborough, while also being close enough for a day trip to York. We stayed as two adults and an infant, and found the cottage to be very spacious. There would be plenty of room for two couples or a family. The kitchen was large and well-equipped with everything we needed, and it was a nice touch having TVs in the living room and both bedrooms. One thing to note is that the TVs don't have an aerial, so you'll need to use the smart TV apps (BBC iPlayer, ITVX, etc.) to watch television. Unfortunately, there were a few issues that let the property down. The mattress in the rear bedroom was heavily stained and badly sunken in the middle, making it very uncomfortable to sleep on. We ended up moving to the front bedroom, but it's right next to the main road, so traffic noise was

Good location close to all amenities. Lots of information from Host and Stay in advance re local area etc. As others have commented the front bedroom is a tad noisy with the proximity to the main road.

Great cottage with loads of space and the rare gem of a parking space in Pickering! The interior was super clean and well-maintained with modern bathrooms and very comfy beds. We loved our stay and will definitely be coming back.

Good location for access to North Yorkshire, villages, coast and cities (York). Location in Pickering was great a few minutes walk from two supermarkets and town centre. Good sized bedrooms with on-suite, kitchen was well equipped. Enjoyed our stay would reccomend to others as well as revisit ourselves.

Great spot in Pickering Really enjoyed my stay—clean, comfortable, and in a great location close to the town and countryside. Everything was as expected, and the host made things easy. A solid base for exploring the area. Would happily stay again.

This is a great place to stay in Pickering and explore all the activities around the North York Moors, whether it's the Heritage railway to Whitby, walking on the moors, visiting ruined abbeys, or more! The property is well-suited for four, with two bedrooms, which are quite separate, each having its own bathroom. The kitchen is huge and has a separate dining area too if you plan to eat in.

Great place and location. Unfortunately they require you to pay an additional deposit or take out extra insurance. In addition they required additional ID verification. The duplication was kind of absurd as that’s literally why AirBNB exists. At the end they offered a discount to book direct next time. A putty about the host as the place is great.

We needed somewhere to stay near Pickering station for NYMR, this place was absolutely perfect. It had a touch of luxury that I doubt you would find in nearby hotels. It acted as the perfect base for our stay. It felt like a luxury apartment. It would make an ideal base for anyone wishing to explore the area. Russells cafe for breakfast is recommended although there is a co-op barely 50 yards away. I would recommend this place thoroughly.

Lovely little cottage, very smart and comfortable. Done up to a high standard, very clean and well appointed. Great location in the middle of town, easy to find and walkable to everything. Front is on a fairly busy road though so bring ear plugs if you’re sleeping in the double room.

lovely cottage, very comfortable. lots of space. a bit hidden down a narrow road, but once you know, it's easy to get in and out of. Good communication, especially when called to check on check in details. value, but be aware you are next to the main road so the bedroom by the road side is a little noisy at times. would recommend a visit!

Beautiful property, great communication. Would definitely return. Kitchen probably needs a few more things to cook with, we had to purchase a frying pan. Also, no washing up sponges etc. which we also had to get. Upstairs neighbours know the bin days… have suggested they add them to the otherwise comprehensive local notes. Only very minor points, we had a cracking time, perfect for two couples as both rooms have a private bathroom. Would recommend Willowgate Bistro for a lovely meal.

Stylish but really really noisy!!! The cottage is split in two and what’s AirBnB’d is the ground floor only! Yes it’s on a busy main road but the upstairs occupants were really anti social with excessive noise right through to 3:30am in the morning! On the plus side it’s a spotless apartment, plenty of hot water and nice arrangement close to the Main Street in Pickering.

Great, clean, spacious property. In the heart of Pickering, we walked easily to the station and got the NYMR up to Whitby. Good driving distance to other places of interest. Lots of nice places to eat nearby and convenient for the shops.

Private parking space to rear is handy and was clean and well presented. However property is located next to main road which had heavy traffic. The windows are single glazed sash windows. So not much noise is prevented. You could also feel vibrations of lorries going by. We left after one night. Then mattresses are very soft which may be fine for some depending on your preference but I found it set my back off the next day. Our elderly dog could not settle as in alert from all the traffic. Told the host we’d left and they assumed we were still at the property and sending messages saying hope you are enjoying your stay and a few days later a message reminding us to checkout.

Lovely, all on one floor property which was spotlessly clean, full of all the amenities you would need. Comfortable beds, great showers, nice kitchen. Easy check in and a moments walk from Main st in Pickering. Also easy to get to Whitby, Malton, York and Beverly. Had a super time.

Overall a good experience. We came in late at night and had difficulty finding the cottage and when we called for assistance, the property manager line never called us back. Luckily we found it. The entrance to the parking area is pretty tight, so keep a lookout for that as you go in. Loved the modern kitchen and bathrooms and the living area was cozy.

We had a 3 night stay here unfortunately it wasn’t the best stay we have had, when we got there the code we had been given for the key box was wrong and had to wait for a phone call back which after a 4 hour drive was not needed, when we got into the building it did smell of cooking and one of the bath rooms had some hairs around the sink and toilet, it is well equipped and well decorated I can’t fault the decor at all the bathrooms are lovely apart from the hairs, the smaller bathroom however does have a slight problem that the window has no blind and the frosting is patchy so you can see straight though the glass, the WiFi extender also didn’t work we had to fix this ourself as the bedroom TV doesn’t work without it, there is also no shower gel, shampoo or other toiletries provided which is a shame as it doesn’t cost a lot to provide this, it was a nice stay but we wouldn’t stay again based on the cleanliness of the place and given the fact you are asked to clean down all of the hard surfaces before you leave does make me question why the hairs were missed if it was meant to be wiped down and then cleaned further. It’s unfortunate because it is a well equipped place just needs a bit more attention to detail when cleaning and maintaining the building.

Very Clean and fabulously decorated apartment. The only problems we had were the very hard pillows and no alternatives and there was a lack of place to get ready, mirror/ dressing table place. Some noise from the people upstairs but it was a Friday night and couldn’t be helped by the host. Overall a very nice stay!
