This cute, quirky Victorian cottage is ideal for couples, friends and small families looking for a reviving break amid the myriad attractions of the North York Moors area. Located down a quiet lane in the heart of historic Pickering, guests of this property have a wealth of independent shops, cafes and restaurants, a museum and a castle on their doorstep. Don’t miss a trip on the heritage steam trains of North Yorkshire Moors Railway – the line runs from Pickering to Grosmont, and in summer, the route extends all the way to the seaside at Whitby.
The period features of this two-storey cottage, such as exposed brickwork and beamed ceilings, have been lovingly restored while Arts and Crafts decor and furnishings further celebrate the property’s heritage. On the ground floor, there’s a comfortable lounge with a wood burner and Smart TV. The kitchen comes complete with a classic AGA range cooker and fold out dining table booth. From here, two steps lead up to a utility area which overlooks the courtyard garden. Also on the ground floor is a well-stocked games room complete with a snooker table, board games and a TV. From the ground-floor hallway, a steep cottage staircase leads up to the first floor. Here, you’ll find two good-sized bedrooms, one with a double bed and one twin with single beds, and a shower room.
The quaint courtyard garden is a pleasant spot to sit after a busy day out, decorated with quirky vintage signage. Here, cyclists can access bike storage for up to four bikes and off street parking is provided.
