Great location, clean and guide book site/app was great.<br/><br/>No coffee machine and only one toilet paper provided. Aga was too hot for the room for summer but not hot enough to use the oven to cook

Pickering is a lovely place to stay and great base to explore the North York Moors. The cottage was spacious, with lovely comfortable beds, and felt easy to relax in after a busy day.

The house was very modern and had everything you would need. A lovely little courtyard at the back with plenty of seating. one of the bedrooms had 2 sinks,<br/><br/>Only one bathroom in which was the toilet. The shower head was static and not adjustable, so for a women trying not to get her hair wet was diffiicult.

The house was amazing. Close enough to walk to amenties. We had a lovely time.<br/><br/>The only issue with the house was that the AGA cooker was on and there was instructions not to turn it off. It was 30 degrees the day we arrived and the heat in the house was hard to handle. We opened the doors but when we went to bed the heat kept us awake for ages. That was the only pitfall.

The lock box flap was a bit stiff, we took about 10 minutes to get it open!<br/><br/>It would be great to improve by getting blackout blinds or curtains! Everything else was perfect!

Location, comfort, well equipped. Massive beds. Would recommend and visit again.<br/><br/>Finding the property was difficult, parking near the property can be an issue. The Arga oven takes too long to cook. Would have been nice to have a later check out

Terrible deal as no decent washing facilities until maintenance sorted with 1 night to go. Complained everyday and no answers or full communication on how they are resolving

The bedrooms were excellent and the beds were very comfortable. The kichen was very well equipped and cosy with the Aga. The location was brilliant and so close to all the shops pubs and attractions.<br/><br/>The bathroom needs a bit of an update on some of the loose fittings. Also the size of the shower is a shame considering the size of the room .

Everything you needed was there, we bought some extras but everything you need is there.<br/><br/>The cooker was a little fiddly it's not a criticism as I've never encountered an aga. Once I sussed it it was fine.

We had a lovely stay here. it was a great location, right in the centre of Pickering. Hosts were able to split two of the beds up to suit our party better. <br/>Thank you very much for our stay!

Extremely well placed for for the heritage railway and museums.

The location was good.<br/><br/>One bathroom between three bedrooms (two on another floor). No parking outside (workmen had this reserved). Very noisy in the morning - started at 7am on first morning and 6:30 on the 2nd morning. Impossible to sleep. We checked out a day early and Booking.Com (so far) have not refunded the last night. Worst stay I have ever had on the Booking.com site.
