  Our family had a wonderful relaxing 3 night stay at this beautifully recently restored cottage.

  Chris and Alison were so friendly and accommodating. I cant speak highly enough of the property itself, finished and furnished to the highest standard with plenty of luxury little extras like the hot tub, Gas BBQ, log burning fire, large free standing bath but to name a few. We were greeted by Chris and a lovely welcome pack which included Prosecco, flowers, treats, blankets and towels for our dog. All really nice touches that made us feel really welcome. There is a very comprehensive welcome pack put together by Chris and Alison that provided us with plenty of information and ideas for things to do that take advantage of all the area has to offer. We visited one of the many beautiful local beaches one day and spent another day in the cottage happily just enjoying the property. Staying in or going out you will have a lovely time her regardless. We will defiantly be coming again and if you are reading this thinking of a family break away LOOK NO FURTHER as we highly recommend this property! Many Thanks Chris and Alison ....and all the best for the future.

  The cottage is beautiful to look around with every amenity you could need. Plenty of space for 4 people staying. The beds comfortable, the shower worked perfectly, all the equipment worked properly. The Smart TV was a bonus as was able to pick up and stream. Wi-Fi reliable. Parking at the back was great. Plenty of space, not having to worry about getting a space and felt really secure. I had my gate helper with me, so easy to get in and out. The location is brilliant as it sits on the crossroads of the two main roads in this part of the world, so you were straight out on your journeys. Plenty to do in Pickering -the castle, the railway and the best find, the church on the hill. I would strongly recommend a visit here. Plenty of places to get food in the town - restaurants, cafes, takeaways - Cappelman's Fish and Chip restaurant was great. They now have a Lidl which meant getting food for the house was easy. Overall I fell in love with the property and Pickering and really want to come back with other family members

  I was very happy with my stay at Shep Cottage.

  The cottage is well designed and is in very good newly renovated / clean condition. It is warm, and everything works. There is lots of off-street car parking, and the outbuilding and patio area are great of you cycle, with both indoor and outdoor security loops for securing bikes, and facilities for washing bikes with a hose etc. The location is great, with uninterrupted views of the hills from the property itself, but easy access to a nearby cafe / farm shop (and a couple of breweries!), and then lots of other cafes, pubs and shops / supermarkets within just a few miles. There's plenty to do locally, and there is easy access by train to Bradford, Leeds etc. within a few miles. The owners provided helpful information before I arrived, and were contactable locally if there were any issues (which there weren't) and the whole stay was very straightforward. I'd be very happy to stay in this property again and would warmly recommend it to others, after staying in a wide range of other rental properties over the years.

  We have just had a lovely holiday at this beautiful immaculate cottage.

  We were the first guests to stay here after it was renovated so feel very privileged. The Cottage is absolutely amazing! It is exceptionally well equipped and has lovely views. Great warm welcome on arrival by Chris ( owner) who showed us round the Cottage and we even received treats for the dogs which was a lovely touch , plus welcome drinks and biscuits for ourselves. The Hot Tub was fantastic and very welcoming after a day out walking on the many beaches nearby. Plus a beautiful log burner which was very cosy and relaxing during the evenings. The hot tub was maintained daily by hosts Chris & Alison who live at the detached house close by with their beautiful dogs Rosie Mouse and Inka. The hosts are very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. At night you could hear a pin drop, the only sound was an Owl in the distance. It really is a peaceful relaxing place to stay. We can't wait to return! Highly Recommend a stay here you will not be disappointed.

  An expertly restored cottage that has overcome so many hurdles to emerge from the ashes of a derelict building.

  The owners, Chris and Alison have put so much time, effort and funds into this for our benefit. Yes, we pay for the privilege of spending time in the cottage, but it's worth every penny! The upside-down arrangement works beautifully, with the open plan lounge, dining and kitchen, intelligently laid out. The French doors off the kitchen onto the private decking with the generously sized hot tub and lower level seating with gas BBQ - a courtyard feel. No expense spared here and the little touches, throughout the property, give you a sense that the owners know those extras will be well received. Super, sleep inducing beds, comfortable leather sofas with throws, great log burner and tv with all the sky things to entertain if you've exhausted the games in the bookshelves. The property is positioned perfectly to explore all areas of the peninsula. Enjoy! We did.
