  Sunny Dale Cottage is a beautiful little home from home. Absolutely spotless and well equipped with everything you need for your stay. Beds are very comfy with crisp clean bedding. It has a bistro set out back and a couple of loungers which is fab as this is a little suntrap! We enjoyed sitting out taking in the last bit of sun after our day exploring. It’s located in a quiet spot off tucked away, your own little sanctuary ? There is a bakery close by with its own cafe which has a fantastic menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner also a great choice of cakes and sweet treats. Next door up from the bakery is the beer garden for The Buck, local pub, again the beer garden is lovely to sit and enjoy the sunshine whilst having a refreshment, they also serve pub meals however I personally felt they were overpriced for what you got. All in all I would recommend Sunny Dale Cottage and I will most certainly be back there myself, absolutely loved it! ? The only thing I would have liked was a full length mirror in the property however this is just a personal thing and by no means did this affect my stay ?

  Lovely cottage finished to a high standard. Arrived an hour early but wasn’t allowed to check in till time stated. So waited outside till the hour were up. Property all on one floor as didn’t want stairs. Unfortunately there were 2steep steps to the garden or patio, I wasn’t aware of this when I booked. Steps needs hand rails of which the host assured me it will be done shortly. Such a great location just 3 mins walk to the local pub. The Buck is a great pub but unfortunately found the New Inn staff rather rude. There is a great restaurant brandysnap which is a stone throw away. Beds were comfy singles pushed together so had a line down the middle if you were wanting a double. Would definitely stay again if the hand rails were on the steps to garden. Had amazing meal at the willow gate bistro in Pickering. It’s a real treat to dine there.

  Lockton Cottage - what a cottage!

  We had a fantastic week in North Yorkshire and it started from the moment we arrived at our cottage - it was beautiful and full of character and was, without doubt, the best-equipped cottage we've ever stayed in. Our four-year-old son loved the garden and his cosy seaside themed bedroom and the overall furnishings were second to none. The cottage had a lovely homely feel but was modern in its features and immaculate - the welcome pack was much appreciated and included essentials along with a bottle of lovely red wine and Italian coffee. Packing at the back was ideal and a short walk into Pickering which has everything you need and a stone's throw from a great local pub. All in all great value for money I would definitely recommend this cottage to couples and small families.

  Very disappointed with this cottage, firstly we were expecting all foodstuffs to be removed prior to our arrival.

  Secondly the settees in lounge were low and very uncomfortably soft. Bed mattress was lumpy, needs changing. As do settees.! Blind in kitchen un-usable, was tied up. As a blind retailer/fitter, found it disappointingly poor. Kettle unusable, need a good clean filter and inside. Did not use any of utensils or pots pans or any think, we bought our own. We have stayed in Pickering 6 or 7 times, at a cottage a few door's away Kings Haven and never had any problems there, on the 5 occasions we stayed there. We love Pickering and all of Yorkshire, we will be back again but alas not at lockton cottage. Sorry to be so blunt, but somtimes you have to say it as it is for owner's to step up to the mark, and not take customers for granted.

  Lovely comfortable cottage, superbly situated and, possibly, the best equipped we have ever stayed in.

  Bountiful welcome basket was well received. Pity that some obvious maintenance issues that were clearly not new, had not been attended to. Loose capping on the outside steps causing me to fall over, miher tap in kitchen needs attention as water spurts out from base when cold tap turned on, old break in patio table pushed back together and nearly had a full hot mug of tea in my lap and I noticed that one of the chairs had a broken horizontal stabilising spar brokenl. The Amazon TV turned out to be disconnected as we discovered on last day. All the above issues were within 2-3 hours of arrival but the balance of the two weeks were fine. I emailed the owners regarding the above but have had no response to date.
