    We have stayed in many cottages across the country. Your cottage has been the best we have stayed in. The attention to detail, the quality of the furnishings, and the ambience of the cottage is brilliant. We arrived late on a Friday night. We were welcomed by a warm front room, with a welcome basket. We immediately felt at home. We spent a lot of days exploring the local area, however we really enjoyed coming back to your cottage to relax, make some lovely food in your well equipped kitchen and enjoying the relaxing atmosphere you have created. We both work very hard in our lives and this was a lovely haven of peace. Thank you Mel and Irene, you literally have the best rental property in Yorkshire. We will definitely be booking again. For other Potential guests: Russell’s bakery in the market place is stunning. Lovely produce and amazing cakes!! Nosh, they do lovely food, from breakfast through to lunch, using local produce where they can. My wife is coeliac and we have managed to negotiate this well in Pickering. Capplemans is a fish and chip restaurant that caters for coeliacs and gluten free diners. It’s collection only, but it’s a 5 minute walk from the cottage. It’s worth it! Previous guests have mentioned the on street parking issues. We managed to park on the street, not necessarily in the same spot, but not far at all. Thanks again!! We will be back soon!!

    wow , thank you so much for the really marvelous feedback , it does make us very proud to know how everyone finds our cottage so welcoming and friendly ,.

  • "This tastefully renovated house was a very comfortable and cosy retreat during a wet and windy week in February."

    Parking is on street but we never had problems finding a space. The chippy at the end of the road is excellent. Pickering is a lovely little town, perfectly situated for visits to the moors, York, Whitby and the coast. Would definitely recommend.

    The pictures make the cottage look amazing but it is even better in real life. When we arrived, there was a welcome pack which was over and above our expectations - milk, biscuits, crisps, treats for our dog, even a bottle of wine- a lovely touch that we didn't expect. The beds were really comfortable too. Location-wise, it was perfect for us. We had a fantastic holiday and we will definitely return - we would love to stay here again. Thank you Potter Hill Cottage!

    It had a lovely welcome hamper which was greatly appreciated as well as milk in the fridge! It was a short walk into Pickering with lovely shops, cafes and pubs. We found it a great base for visiting Scarborough, Whitby and York all our favourite places. The only downside was the parking unfortunatly our car got hit outside on our last night, this does not reflect the cottage at all as we loved it but just to be aware it is a very narrow street with double sided parking.

    sorry to hear about the car being bumped. first time ever that has happened. hope to see you again soon. Property Owner
