"An excellent, well maintained and clean cottage."
There was plenty of space for a family of 3 and the kitchen and bathroom were very modern with everything we needed.
The beds were very comfy, particularly the double bed which had a new mattress.
The location is ideal with about a 10 minute walk to the centre of Pickering. It's on street parking but we got a space reasonably close each day. The road is wide enough for double parking to off load bags, etc.

"Cottage well equipped and very clean."
Nice welcome pack which was handy. In a very quiet location, parking was first come but we always managed to park. Ideal for dog owners, plenty of walks near by. Lovely garden but unfortunately didn't get to sit out, too cold. My only problem was the mattress has definitely seen better days, not comfy at all. There is a door between the lounge and the dining area which needs a mind your head sign as my husband banged his head on it many times, if your over 5ft8 remember to duck.

"We stayed with young kids for a long weekend and had a great time."
The cottage is pretty much next to Pickering castle (lots of fun for kids to run round) and walking distance to the steam railway and shops of Pickering.
The cottage was very comfortable and clean. It had all the amenities we wished for and more (including a lovely welcome pack). Thank you for a wonderful stay.

"A gorgeous cottage with wonderful facilities and amenities."
Upon arrival all of the rooms were exceptionally clean and well presented. The living room was welcoming, the dining area was beautiful, the kitchen was well stocked and the bathroom was exceptional. Upstairs, the bedrooms were very cosy and the beds were very comfortable. Behind the cottage, the garden was very well kept. The welcoming gift package was exceptional, providing the first night essentials of milk, tea, coffee and biscuits. Overall, my experience was pleasant and I'd love to return at a later time! I would definitely recommend staying at 12 Castlegate!

"Very happy with our stay in Castle Cottage."
It was cosy and comfortable. We were very grateful that they accepted our new elderly dog, which they didn't need to, so many thanks. If I could point out two worries, not problems, one being the stair hand rail which was so low we couldn't use it (just us being old no doubt) and secondly the washing machine wasn't working during our visit. Unfortunately we only bring a couple of change of clothes as we usually wash them whilst at the properties. Hand washed but nowhere to dry. Overall we enjoyed our visit and North Yorkshire was wonderful. Couldn't believe how quiet the cottage was.

"This lovely cottage, is just how it’s described, we were very lucky with the weather, so after being out during the day, we spent the lovely evenings sitting outside, the garden is beautiful well kept and private."
We cooked at the cottage a few times and everything we needed for use was there. Everywhere was clean. The shower was powerful with plenty of hot water. Going upstairs the main bedroom, was pretty, the bed lovely and comfortable. So if your looking for a gem of a place, look no further. 5 min walk your in the main town. Lovely restaurants which Tracey, the owner had recommended, pubs, shops, everything at hand, King Charles also visited Pickering on the Monday. So it was just a perfect week. Thank you toTracey and Ashley. For allowing us to stay in your beautiful cottage. We will return. From Linda Shaun and Molly.

"We had a lovely stay at Castle Cottage in early May 2023."
It is ideally located being walking distance from the shops, heritage train station (not main line) and right by the castle. We stayed with our three-year-old who loved the garden and the gentle sounds of the steam trains during the day. There are some nice walks you can take from the front door across the fields or beside the river and the train track. A short drive away are other beauty spots and market towns. Tracey and Ashley gave us some great recommendations beforehand for trips, walks and food. The cottage is compact but very comfortable and the kitchen is well-equipped. Space-wise it was perfect for two adults and one child and could easily fit another child. I think it would be workable, but a bit cosy, with more than two adults in the dining/living space. We had a brief problem with the hot water, which Ashley and Tracey had fixed within just a few hours, despite being out of the country on a holiday of their own (and in a different time zone). All in all we had a great time and would definitely recommend Castle Cottage.

"This cottage is a little gem."
So cosy and comfortable. The hosts have supplied everything you could ever need for your stay. It was spotlessly clean, with some gorgeous original features. All topped off with a beautiful cottage garden with ample space to enjoy alfresco meals and evening drinks. They also supply lots of information about the town and local attractions and eateries for you to visits. Absolutely lovely.
