Dove Cottage - Pickering,

Reviewed by Jacqueline, 16th August 2019

Small and cosy with just about everything you need. Great location for Whitby, Scarborough etc plus shops, cafes and pubs on the doorstep. Back yard was good for the dogs with plenty of nice walks round the castle. The only downside was that its on the main through road which is busy all day, every day and the noise and pollution was noticeable.

A really beautiful little cottage in a great location. The parking in the Black Swan worked perfectly and the pub itself made us very welcome. We would definitely go back for another visit.

Beautiful little cottage in a great location. We were very lucky with the weather so made use of the lovely little courtyard garden in the evenings. Would DEFINITELY stay again!

A lovely cottage that had everything that we required. It ideally located for the North York Moors for walking and exploring and for the coast. Lovely walk from Whitby to Robin Hoods Bay. Helmsley is a great village to visit.

Lovely but tiny cottage - don't bring any cats to swing. Kitchen is incredibly small but is well equipped. Excellent amenities around, great location. Parking can be a problem as its first come..

Lovely cottage let down by a bed with an old mattress that you roll into the middle with and really not convinced that the oven or fridge were cleaned. Pretty place though in a handy situation

We love Pickering and Dove Cottage is ideally located for enjoying both the town and the beautiful surroundings. The facilities within the cottage were first class and the owners had thought of everything you might need. Excellent.

Dove cottage is beautiful, everything you could wish for. Really lovely decor, comfortable, beautifully clean and real attention to detail. We hadnt realised the cottage was near the main road but it really doesnt detract from the overall loveliness ??

Super cottage, would definitely recommend. It is a little noisy at night and the main road is very close but those issues and the lack of dedicated parking are the only downsides.

Our stay at Dove Cottage was lovely! As a family of four, we required a home from home in a good location to explore the beautiful moors, and Dove Cottage delivered. There was a thoughtful basket of treats awaiting us on arrival and milk in the fridge- really kind. We didnt come across anything that the owners had overlooked. The town itself has maRead moreny local shops adding to its charm, as well as Lidl and CoOp- so plenty of choice and all in walking distance; ideal for families. We took the train from Pickering station through to Whitby- a great day out! The cottage is located on an A road and having read the reviews prior to booking we were aware of this and decided that we could deal with this given the other many benefits the accommodation had to offer. Neither of our children were disturbed by the traffic noise, us adults were a little, but as we were up and out early every day we chose to see it more as an alarm clock! Parking is first come first served, as mentioned and we did find ourselves driving by a couple of times trying to get parked, but as the owner says, spaces do become available quite quickly. I would highly recommend Dove Cottage. The moors and the surrounding area is beautiful and we found our accommodation to compliment this perfectly! Hide

I loved this little cottage. Beautifully presented and decorated, good quality, very well equipped and very clean. It really had everything you would need. I particularly loved the style of the master bedroom (French shabby chic) the light and airy kitchen and small but pretty courtyard garden.The road outside could be noisy but I slept well everRead morey night -even with the windows wide open- the bed and mattress were really comfortable. Every single item in the welcome hamper was gorgeous - no cost cutting there -and it got my holiday off to a flying start. A great cottage to explore the area from - and there is a lot to see- my favourtites ; Castle Howard, Bempton Cliffs RSPB and the steam train from Pickering station! Hide

We loved our stay at Dove cottage. The location was perfect, the place was very well appointed and nicely decorated. So much to do in the area: Dalby Forrest, Robin hoods Bay and Castle Howard to name a few spectacular things!!

This is a lovely cottage. The rooms are all beautifully furnished and comfortable. Pickering is a nice town and there are good places to eat and shop within walking distance.I didn't like the location. The description doesn't quite make clear that it is on an A road and next to two takeaways, creating a bit of noise and lack of privacy. It's not tRead morehe swanky end of town. Although you can park outside, the parking is always busy. This cottage is a good base for a touring or walking holiday, but not the place to go for rest and relaxation. Hide

Lovely cottage with a generous welcome pack which gets your break off to a lovely start. Hope to return.
