We had a lovely holiday in Pickering! The house is very spacious and well equipped with lots of storage for all your belongings. The house is also very cosy and warm despite the size and was very quick to heat up. It is a good base for visiting different areas in York and Pickering itself has lots of shops and amenities within walking distance. Would defo rent this house again! Thanks for having us 😃
