  • "This was our first visit to Keep Cottage and after experiencing what a lovely well maintained, clean & homely place it was in which to spend a week in February, it certainly wont be our last."

    We where lucky enough to have some decent weather & took advantage of the conservatory overlooking the well maintained garden which will be a real bonus in warmer weather. Parking was on street in front of the cottage & was only a two minute walk to the shops & pubs etc. There is plenty to see & do in Pickering & is also an ideal base in which to tour the area. You only have to look at the lack of availability of bookings for Keep cottage to see that others are of the same opinion as us & are making return visits.

  • "This is a lovely clean cottage."

    The location is fabulous - the shops and cafes are a short walk into town also across the road is Pickering Castle with a lovely walk through the woods. The cottage is very comfortable and would describe as home from home. The welcome pack provided was appreciated and communication with the owners was great. The cottage is as described. Would definitely recommend this cottage and would definitely stay again if we are in Pickering.

  • "Amazing cottage full of charm in the best location in Pickering, very peaceful at night and hearing the birds and steam trains through the bedroom window in the morning was bliss!"

    Brilliant enclosed garden for our dog to explore and we could keep an eye on him whilst sitting in the beautiful sun room,plenty of parking outside, we never had any issues and we had 2 cars....what's there not to like about this place...would love to visit again in the warmer weather so we can enjoy the outside space more,ignore any negative comments on previous reviews as I think they are not accurate and I'm guessing the reviewer is the type of person who makes a song and dance if the postman forgets to close their gate!!!! If you book a holiday at Keep Cottage you will have great time like 99% of customers who already have.

  • "A wonderful cottage - great location."

    We have just returned from our August trip to Yorkshire and stayed at the delightful Keep Cottage! The cottage had everything we needed and more - two bathrooms, a dishwasher, a beautiful garden and a sun room which we used each night to relax in. The location was ideal a few minutes walk into Pickering but also only a 30 minute drive to the coast. It is on street parking but I never had an issue finding a spot even over a busy Bank Holiday. We also did a few walks in the surrounding area and overall we had a lovely week away. I would recommend Keep Cottage to all and I will return.

  • "We really enjoyed our stay at Keep Cottage."

    It's in an excellent location (on street parking but never had any issues getting parked near the cottage in the school summer hols) - 2 minutes from the castle and a 5 minute walk (down hill) from the town centre/trains. There's also some lovely walks through the woods and an adventure playground. Cappelman's fish and chips (where you can order via app and pop down to collect) was fantastic too, as was the Cedarbarn (between Pickering and Thornton) where we went for Sunday lunch. Was slightly concerned to read the negative review someone had posted from earlier in the summer but we thought the cottage was absolutely lovely - full of character, beds really comfy and a gorgeous, enclosed garden that our son loved playing in. Maybe the scatter cushions on the settees/chairs could do we a revamp (i.e. bit more stuffing) to make them a bit more comfy but that is a very, very minor point. I had a couple of questions for the owners, which I sent via text and they were really helpful and responded quickly - that said, all the info you need is in the folder when you arrive. We stay in Pickering a lot and love it - an excellent base for either going to the coast or in the other direction to Hemsley/Danby/Hutton le Hole/Dalby etc. and also near to Malton and Flamingoland and not that far from York. Thanks for a lovely stay.

  • "The cottage is in need of attention to bring it to the description listed, Having rented a number of cottages through Sykes and being very pleased previously this was very disappointing."

    The welcome pack of 5 biscuits tea and coffee and milk compared to others in previous cottages was poor and did not give you the feeling any real thought had gone into it simply for cheapness. The kitchen table being a pine slatted construction was very unhygienic with lots of debris between slats from previous guests. This would benefit from a glass top in order to allow proper cleaning, or replacement. The pans were dirty and the pizza pan had burnt on pizza toaster dirty. The upstand at the back of the kitchen worktop had gap allowing a build up of debris to occur and not allowing proper cleaning of worktops plus the top of the upstand covered in grease and dust. The kitchen floor is in need of a deep clean due to the type of flooring. The vacuum cleaner was solid with rubbish which means its operation would be very poor. The cushions in the living room were flat!! Giving no support in your back and have clearly not been replaced for many years. The doors on the en-suite bathroom cabinet were cracking. The bedrooms were adequate. The conservatory was nice and the garden was nice. We choose because of location and reviews however we do no not feel the reviews previously were accurate. I also wonder what involvement if any the owners actually have with the property, I would suggest not enough unless these are the standards the feel acceptable. I would also make the point about contacting guests regarding bins if needed should be done at a reasonable time not 10.05 pm. Pictures are available to support comments.

    We are sorry we didn’t meet your expectations, we will take your comments on board. We always try to provide a great holiday for our guests. Property Owner

    I’ve rated it 4 star for comfort purely due to the seating in the living room. We found the single chair low and the sofa backing onto the stairs quite hard and uncomfortable but it would not stop us from booking again. The beds were super comfy. Overall the four of us found the cottage very warm and welcoming and very well equipped. A big thank you to Mr & Mrs Holliday.

    Lovely comfortable rooms and great secure back garden. Everything as described. Really enjoyed it. Our only problem was that it was on a popular route to the castle and lots of people walking past the front windows with their dogs which set my dog barking a bit. So we had to keep the curtains shut. This didn't spoil our stay though.

    Lovely and clean on arrival. The owners obviously had put a lot of care and attention into making the cottage a welcoming cosy place, just right for a family of four + a dog + a Grandad! Were a little concerned whether Grandad would be ok with cottage stairs, so pleased to find they were very manageable. Beautiful enclosed garden which was lovely to sit out in the evenings. Very good location; easy walk straight into woods and around castle, and less than 5 minutes walk into town or to the NYMR. Parking on road outside not a problem, even though we had large people carrier. We would definitely like to return to Keep cottage again please!

    It is in the perfect location to enjoy Pickering and the surrounding areas. (Thornton-le-dale being one of our favourites!) Pickering castle is right on the doorstep and the North Yorkshire Moors Steam train station running to Whitby is just 5 minutes walk! We visited the Beck Isle museum for the first time this year and it was great, much bigger than it looked from the outside, this was enjoyed by both the children and adults - definitely worth a visit, also you can return for free anytime within 12 months of your visit if you keep your receipt! Helmsley castle, Rievaulx Abbey and Kirkham Priory (all English heritage properties) are all relatively close by and worth taking the time to visit if you can! We enjoyed breakfast in ‘Feast’ good quality food, friendly service. The White Swan next door is lovely for an evening meal, but make sure you book early! We can also recommend Capplemans fish and chip shop, which also has a dine in option! Gary and Rachel were extremely helpful, keeping in touch throughout the stay and prior to arrival making sure everything was just right for us. The cottage was super clean as always and the enclosed garden as beautiful as ever! We enjoyed having the log fire burning on some of the colder/wetter evenings, making the cottage even cosier! Our group consisted of 4 adults, 2 children and 1 dog and Keep Cottage met all of our needs perfectly.

  • "Lovely cottage fully deserving of the excellent reviews and 5 stars."

    Very well equipped and very clean. Ideally situated a few minutes walk from the centre of Pickering. The private garden was perfect for the glorious week of weather and I would imagine the cottage is lovely and cosy for a winter break. One hopefully helpful suggestion to the owners would be to supply a few comfortable garden loungers for maximum enjoyment of the garden in Summer and some sunshades ( there is little shade in the garden) and possibly a larger outdoor table( there is a smaller table with 4 chairs at the moment) so that 5 could comfortably sit round during the summer months. But in summary, a great cottage for a lovely break.
