  Great host. Very helpful. A property we all wanted to like. Ground floor showers let it down badly. Small en suites. Shower cubicles far too small. Really struggled whilst showering. These could also benefit from more hooks and shelves. Garden furniture cushions left outside. Consequently dirty and damp. This restricted our use of the patio overlooking the meadow. Also the seats by the river were unusable for the same reasons. We suggested a cushion box outside for storage. Suggest you stop chickens going onto the back patio. They left 'their mark' and we all trod this into the house. We all felt 'unsafe' crossing the bridge by car. It moved whilst crossing. We understand this bridge is being replaced. Outside area would benefit from some love and care. Bit scruffy. Dead plants in pots, weeds growing etc. Could hear noise from the industrial estate, but nothing can be done about that. Could be a great house to stay in, but we would return only if these items were attended to..

  A wonderful gem with all the home comforts you would need.

  We made the owners aware of our late arrival and were so impressed that the lights had been turned on. This certainly made it easier with two tired children. We were also pleased with the milk and supplies that had been kindly left, it was very appreciated. The cottage is conveniently situated with only a 10 min walk into the centre of Pickering at the most. There is also off street parking and a great garden. It is certainly a tardis and very deceptive with more than enough space for a family of 4. It is very well equipped and comfortable and in February warm and cosy. We are certainly hoping to be back and would most definitely stay there again.

  This is a beautiful cottage, superbly well kept with a garden and patio which were an absolute delightful advantage in the wonderful weather that we enjoyed during our stay. Had the weather been rubbish the cottage would still have been fantastic. We had the warmest of welcomes when we arrived and it was a pleasure to chat with our host/neighbour when our paths crossed. Trevor's unintrusive hospitality is exactly what is needed to enhance a cottage break. Whilst we were there, the electricity went off and he did everything he could (and a bit more) to get it fixed. This place definitely deserves the 5 stars we experienced 'rural retreaters' give it.

  The cottage is very clean and comfortable, we however did struggle with both the bar showers due to the temperature cartridges being faulty and not correctly blending the water at cooler temperatures.

  (I'm a professional plumber). We did struggle with the road noise due to the cottage being on a busy road and it having a thin wooden front door. It literally feels like you are sitting on the pavement especially when the large lorries drive by which is every few minutes. We noticed that the first floor smoke alarm was missing from it's base plate. The cottage is very cosy a good size for a family and well positioned for exploring the Yorkshire moors and coast line. The road noise however would deter us from a re visit.

  This is a lovely, quirky cottage which was beautifully presented and perfectly clean.

  Zak and Ruth met us when we arrived and were very welcoming and friendly and the welcome pack of home-made scones, butter, jam and cream plus biscuits, tea and milk was second to none. The only drawback is that the cottage is on a busy trunk road with heavy traffic thundering past the door all day and much of the night. Investment in double glazing on the front would make a difference as would the fitting of a less flimsy front door. Pickering and the surrounding area are beautiful.
