Guests say
Bank Top Cottage in Pickering is highly praised for its great location, cleanliness, and comfort. Guests appreciate the welcoming host, Mike, and the property's proximity to the North Yorkshire Moors. The cottage is described as spacious, well-equipped, and ideal for both relaxation and exploring the area. The local pub and countryside add to the charm, making it a favourite for repeat visits.
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being 'spotlessly clean' and 'extremely clean'. One minor note was made about a mouldy bread bin, but this seems an isolated incident.
The location is consistently praised for being excellent, with its proximity to the North Yorkshire Moors, local attractions, and a welcoming pub nearby. The peaceful and beautiful setting is a highlight for many guests.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, noting spacious rooms and a cosy atmosphere. However, one guest mentioned a small double bed in a large bedroom, which suggests that bed size could be improved for enhanced comfort.
The cottage is described as well-equipped and maintained, with all necessary amenities. Some guests suggested improvements such as additional crockery and cutlery, and there were mixed feelings about the utility room's layout.
While guests express gratitude towards the host and appreciate the property's offerings, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.
