Horcum View is a well-loved cottage praised for its comfort, well-equipped facilities, and beautiful garden with bird-watching opportunities. The conservatory is a highlight, offering views of the moors and wildlife. The location is quiet and rural, ideal for a peaceful retreat, with local amenities a short drive away in Pickering. Guests appreciate the homely feel and often return for multiple stays.
There is insufficient information in the reviews to assess the cleanliness of the property, as no specific comments were made regarding this aspect.
The cottage is situated in a quiet, picturesque village, with easy access to local walks, steam trains, and a short drive to Pickering for shops. The rural setting is perfect for a tranquil getaway, though the distance to amenities is noted.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with special mentions of the cosy lounge, comfortable beds, and the conservatory as a relaxing space. The homely atmosphere contributes to the overall comfort of the stay.
The property is well-equipped like a home from home, with a well-tended garden and a conservatory for bird watching. The kitchen is noted to have everything needed, and the presence of TV with catch-up and DVDs adds to the facilities. However, one guest mentioned the lack of bird food as a minor issue.
Hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, leaving nice items for guests and providing bird food, although it's mentioned that such gifts are a delightful bonus and not guaranteed with every stay.

Unbelievable! Everything you need to have a memorable break is provided (even choccy biscuits) lazy mornings watching the birds feeding, hundreds of walks around and nearby and lots of places to visit all within an hour's drive, Lockton is a lovely village but be warned there is no pub or anywhere to eat other than a little cafe which was closed (Feb).I would definitely recommend a stay here and am confident you will be pleased.

Lovely cottage in very pleasant rural location. The cottage was comfortable and warm with everything you could need, a real home from home. We enjoyed watching the birds on the feeders from the comfort of the conservatory. The tea shop just down the road serves delicious lunches, probably better to book a table.

The accommodation is superbly equipped and has a conservatory with lovely views over a fabulous garden visited by many birds and the view extends to the countryside beyond.Excellent property and location with a lovely tea room 2 mins walk away. Would definitely recommend and return.
