The location genuinely couldn’t be better — right in the heart of everything. The flat itself is quirky, charming, and has a lot of potential. Having a lovely tea room just downstairs is a real treat (and definitely dangerous for the waistline). The outdoor seating area is great too and was a nice bonus. However, the downside is that the apartment isn’t kept very clean. We’re usually not overly fussy, but there were cobwebs throughout, the shower wasn’t properly cleaned, and my pillow looked like someone had stepped on it with dirty boots. There were also crumbs left from previous guests. A few fixtures, like the handrails and clothing rail, are loose and feel like they’re about to come off the wall, so be careful with those. The property is managed by Host & Stay, who send an overwhelming number of emails and texts — many of them unnecessary and at all hours. There are definitely better‑maintained places to stay in Pickering. That said, if this apartment were brought up to a decent st
A very spacious air b&b, we particularly liked the dining space. We found the provisions of things such as bin bags were a bit frugal and the lack of parking was tricky for us with a baby and involved moving our car a lot due to the time restrictions on the on-street parking. If you're happy to be out all day then this might not be an issue for others.
