2 Bed Cottage in Pickering

About this property

Well located between Pickering and Thornton-le-Dale, this lovely cottage is a brilliant base for a family holiday packed with fun, fresh air, and unforgettable days out. Just 2 miles away, climb aboard the North Yorkshire Moors Railway for a steam train ride through beautiful moorland to Whitby. If you’re craving outdoor fun, Dalby Forest (11.5 miles) is a must-visit, boasting walking and cycling trails, forest play areas, and a treetop adventure course. For thrills and animal encounters, Flamingo Land (5.5 miles) combines theme park excitement with a zoo full of fascinating creatures. History hounds will enjoy a trip to Castle Howard (15.5 miles), where kids can let off steam in the gardens and adventure playground while the grown-ups soak up the past. For a day by the coast, Whitby, Scarborough, and Filey (all within 25 miles) promise sandy beaches, tasty fish and chips, and plenty of traditional coastal charm. Discover the vibrant city of York (26 miles) and explore the many shops, eateries and attractions within its historic walls.

Step into your peaceful retreat through a light-filled porch and into the heart of this welcoming holiday cottage. The bright and open-plan living space is designed for relaxed, luxurious comfort, complete with a crackling wood-burner and a snug sofa calling out for you to curl up with a good book. In the lounge, you’ll find a Smart TV, giving you instant access to thousands of movies, live sport, and catch-up shows for cosy nights in. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you’d expect, plus you'll find a wine cooler for those special evenings in. Off to the left of the lounge is the master bedroom, with a king-size bed, a large walk-through wardrobe, and views over the central courtyard and your private garden. The master en-suite bathroom awaits for long soaks after days out exploring. On the other side of the kitchen, the second bedroom has twin beds, garden views, a Smart TV and a sleek en-suite shower room. Bed linen, towels, bathrobes, and slippers are all provided for that hotel-style touch of indulgence.

To the front of the cottage, your enclosed patio garden is the perfect spot for some outdoor downtime. Fire up the BBQ and enjoy a relaxed al fresco dinner, or simply unwind in the comfortable seating and soak up the fresh air. When the day winds down, nothing beats slipping into your private hot tub for a starlit soak. There’s on-site parking for one car directly outside the cottage, with additional parking available if needed.
