Very quirky and beautiful cottage. Great views over the green, everything you need. Plenty to see, do and experience in Pickering and locally. Had a wonderfully relaxing week, would recommend.

If you are looking for somewhere to stay in Pickering, 2 minutes from the town centre, this is for you. We were surprised to find that the house is on 4 floors, one bedroom in the basement; kitchen, front room and toilet on the ground floor; shower, bath, toilet and living room on the second floor; two bedrooms (double and two singles) on the top floor. The stairs are quite steep and probably not suitable for young children but fine for adults. There is no on-site parking but just across the road is street parking from 6.00 pm to 8.00 am. We were there for the NYMR steam gala and the house is about a 5 minute walk to the station. Nice and warm with central heating (it was getting nippy in September) and high speed WiFi. Highly recommended, in fact we have booked for another stay in October.
