  I wouldn't say this was the best cottage we've stayed in but it's certainly very good.

  It was clean and comfortable. The downstairs cloakroom (WC and basin) is a good selling point and deserves to be mentioned in the listing. There were one or two omissions, but nothing show-stopping. We'd have expected spare kitchen roll, and maybe some cling film. The book of instructions for guests had details of a microwave which no longer exists (the current microwave instructions are with the microwave) but nothing about the main oven controls, which are a bit quirky. However, I Googled it and found something similar, which gave us the information needed. Previous reviews have criticised the WiFi so I was a bit apprehensive about that but I need not have been. It was better than we have at home and quite sufficient for streaming and for general use. It probably depends on what you're used to. We weren't using the third bedroom but I think the lack of storage space could be a problem. Also, some of the bedroom curtains could do with linings so that you don't wake at 5am. Overall, we had a good stay and I would recommend this cottage.

  The cottage is clean and modern.

  The owners have considered every eventuality as far as we could tell, everything was spotless, in excellent condition with some very considerate extra touches, like ice cubes in the freezer, a starter pack of logs and kindling, games and books to enjoy, along with plenty of local information, and the icing on the cake were the lovely Christmas decorations to make us feel at home. We would not hesitate in recommending the cottage to others, with one minor point to make, the need for a couple of pillows available in case anyone needs extra. Not a great problem though and didn't spoil our stay. The pub nearby was a pleasant spot with good beer and food available. The Gamecock in Austwick is an excellent spot for a lovely meal, and there are ample walks in the area for the keenest of ramblers, or the casual strollers to enjoy. All in all, we would give this pleasant little cottage 10 out of 10.

  What a cracking place to stay.

  It really teaches you to not judge a book by its cover. The property has a large open plan kitchen dining area, which was basically where we spent our time, for the short periods we were in. I was probably being pickie marking it down one on comfort. The beds were great and we slept well. The downside was the sofas. I have spinal problems and was unable to sit on them as they were to low and to soft. Great for most people I would imagine. If you stay here your ideally situated for visiting the best that North Yorkshire has to offer. Most places are within a 10 to 20 minute drive, Malham Cove, the 3 peaks, Gaping Gill and so the list goes on. The are untold number of walks on the door step too. The pub just down the road is amazing, good beer, food and dog friendly. I can highly recommend the fish and chip shop opposite co-op in Settle to. We will definitely be returning

  My husband and I had a lovely few nights stay here.

  On arrival the house was very clean (even my husband commented on the clean laundry smell as he went upstairs - that never happens at home!) When I booked the property, I remember reading a review saying don't judge the property on the photos.. and that is so true..! We had 2 very wet walking days and it was lovely to come back to a warm house and a hot shower - In fact the shower pressure was amazing!! For 2 nights we ate at the local pub. Very friendly landlord and lady, good home cooked food and plenty of it. For our last night we tried to get into the Game Cock in Austwick for dinner; unfortunately it was already fully booked (Wednesday in March, non school holidays). My advise would be to book ahead if you fancy this pub. We will definitely be visiting this beautiful area again and this will be our first choice for accommodation

  We’ve just returned from a weeks stay at Castle Cottage and could not have been happier with our choice to book!

  This is a gorgeous, extremely well looked after little cottage with everything we needed to be comfortable as a family of 4 staying with our dog. There is a lovely little sun trap of a garden where we enjoyed a few al fresco meals, and is only a two minute walk (if that) from Pickering town centre where there are lots of dog friendly pubs and eateries for when we didn’t fancy cooking. This was the perfect base from which to explore North Yorkshire, would recommend Falling Foss, Dalby Forest and a day trip to Whitby on NYMR from Pickering station. Communication from our hosts, Tracey and Ashley, was also top notch and we would not hesitate to book again. A proper little gem of a holiday let, you will not be disappointed!
