Great cottage with loads of space and the rare gem of a parking space in Pickering! The interior was super clean and well-maintained with modern bathrooms and very comfy beds. We loved our stay and will definitely be coming back.

Good location for access to North Yorkshire, villages, coast and cities (York). Location in Pickering was great a few minutes walk from two supermarkets and town centre.
