Book a cosy stay with family or friends at this cosy stone property located on the outskirts of Pickering, on the edge of the majestic North York Moors. You’ll be less than 1 mile from Pickering Castle as well as the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, where you can catch a steam train that’ll take you past the end of your garden.

You’ll enter the house into a well-equipped kitchen/diner with a table and chairs where you can enjoy leisurely meals during your stay. Also on the ground floor is a homely lounge with exposed ceiling beams and a fireplace containing a wood burner, along with sofas that are perfect for sinking into after a long day of exploring. From here, a carpeted flight of stairs leads to the first floor where you’ll find three cosy bedrooms – one king, one twin and one single, all of which have charming window seats. The house is decorated in a traditional style, in appealing neutral shades with cheerful pops of colour.

The good-sized garden has grass and a patio area with furniture where you can enjoy breakfast on a sunny morning while enjoying the surrounding greenery.

A comfy, cosy cottage that backs onto the NYMR railway tracks with excellent views of all passing trains. A quiet location (when no trains). Excellent walks right from the doorstep. Can walk to Pickering in 20 minutes along quiet tracks or quiet main road. Level crossing needs to be used to access the property but this is quick and easy to do with Read morethe push of a button. We loved the place and plan to return next year. Hide

Lovely cosy cottage snug and warm. Beautiful location waved to so many Santa's Express Steam Trains the days leading to Xmas Day....... Plenty of walks from the door with our two dogs. Beds were all comfy, as it was Xmas made alot of use of the oven - easy to use and very good working order, log burner was great, but only used once as cottage was Read morewarm anyway! We were lucky for the time of year the weather was mild. We walked into Pickering as only about a mile, as of most of the surrounding villages Pickering is lovely - would certainly reccomend. Hide

A cute little cottage, very warm, cosy and comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped. Lovely quiet location with the steam trains passing the garden and hearing lots of owls and other wildlife. Lots of walks from the cottage door and lots of lovely pubs and restaurants in the area. We would love to return.

Cottage is in excellent location for exploring the local area and for exercising our dogs on the many walking trails nearby. The cottage was very clean and the furniture was ok, but needed a coffee table or something table like in the living room to stand drinks etc on (we were worried about the possibility of spilling drinks on the sofas). The bRead moreasic equipment was good but crockery felt very cheap. Couldn't get radiators in bedrooms to come on at all (but living room one worked ok)(not major prob as it was not particularly cold, but could have been worse earlier in the season). Beds were very comfortable, but difficult to get rooms dark with only the slat type blinds fitted (especially at rear of property), so kept getting woken up at 5am by the daylight. These small niggles make the cottage seem less value for money, appreciate that the full occupancy would have been 5 persons and there was only the two of us. For us it felt reasonably spacious but suspect it would feel quite tight for five adults. Hide

We have visited the property before so knew what to expect. Many of the extras we had before such as games and vieos were missing. I assume this was due to covid! The location of the property made it difficult to walk the dog but overall a very enjoyable week.
