  • "Overall this was a lovely cottage."

    In a good location and easy to park up. Very nice welcome pack with all sorts of goodies which we appreciated. Kitchen well stocked. Did find TV difficult (then we are technically challenged). If there was one thing that disappointed it was the hardness of the towels. Plenty of them but could do with fabric softener ..... But smashing little bolt hole and would definitely return.

  • "Despite the disappointing weather we enjoyed our stay."

    We found the cottage warm and cosy despite the cold weather outside. We hardly used the cooking facilities so can comment on them. Two little niggles. The latch on the side entrance didn't seem to work for us. The two sofas were comfortable byt too low and slippery for us so getting up off them was quite a challenge. Plenty of little additions which gave a country cottage atmosphere. Very convenenient for bus services and NYMR.

    THank you for your feedback, that is very helpful. I am sorry about the Yorkshire weather, I hope you have better luck next time! Property Owner

  • "Very pleasant cottage with garden."

    Many homely touches and the welcome pack was a nice touch. The kitchen surfaces and appliances could have been cleaner, and one of the bath towels was not a clean one. Beds and sofa were soft but not uncomfortable. 09:00 checkout is extremely early, especially given that you have to pack and clean up after breakfast.

    I am so sorry about the towels; we have looked into this oversight and have upgraded our practices. We agree that 9am is rather early for a checkout, and we have since changed this to 10am. But we always try to be as flexible as possible about check-in and check-out times. Next time, please just give us a call and we'll see what we can do. Property Owner

  • "Very disappointed with this cottage, firstly we were expecting all foodstuffs to be removed prior to our arrival."

    Secondly the settees in lounge were low and very uncomfortably soft. Bed mattress was lumpy, needs changing. As do settees.! Blind in kitchen un-usable, was tied up. As a blind retailer/fitter, found it disappointingly poor. Kettle unusable, need a good clean filter and inside. Did not use any of utensils or pots pans or any think, we bought our own. We have stayed in Pickering 6 or 7 times, at a cottage a few door's away Kings Haven and never had any problems there, on the 5 occasions we stayed there. We love Pickering and all of Yorkshire, we will be back again but alas not at lockton cottage. Sorry to be so blunt, but somtimes you have to say it as it is for owner's to step up to the mark, and not take customers for granted.

    It is an easy walk from Pickering centre, a pretty town which we enjoyed exploring and especially watching the steam trains arrive and depart. It was also perfectly located to visit lots of Yorkshire's beautiful towns and country side. The only minus was the traffic, which the owner does mention on the details of the cottage so we were expecting.

  • "Disappointed with the overall quality of the white goods and their cleanliness."

    Fridge had not been defrosted, Hoover not emptied and needs fixing. General tidiness of kitchen i.e. greasy toaster with previous stays crumbs. Bed uncomfortable needs new mattress, maybe move someone’s personal birth control from bedside drawer! Settee is uncomfortable. Just disappointed as we have stayed in many Sykes Cottages and we often visit the Yorkshire. Have been trying to contact Sykes privately with photos but impossible. Information in cottage needs updating as reading we were given impression owners were based in Italy hence why we didn’t contact them directly. Just needs a little updating and love and would be a special place to stay.

    We are sorry that you didn't find everything as you would have liked, and only wish that you had let us know so that we could have sorted things out immediately. We have sorted out the issues you mention. Property Owner

    Cosy and homely and immaculately clean. Beautifully decorated and with excellent amenities. We had a few questions about the facilities for our toddler as we weren't sure if he would fit in a travel cot. The owner could not have been more helpful and even ordered some bed guards in case we needed them. These were fitted and a baby gate made available. The cottage itself was convenient for day trips to Scarborough, Whitby, York and Goathland but we just scratched the surface of this beautiful area. Off road parking was an excellent bonus too. A lovely holiday and we are sure to book again.

  • "The cottage is situated on the main road in to Pickering, but due to it's entry porch from the street and window glazing we never felt that the outside noise was intrusive."

    The rear off-street parking and garden likewise made for a cosy bit of seclusion away from the street, and the nice extra touches (little gifts left out for our arrival etc) we felt welcomed and supported throughout our week long stay. All of Pickering's main attractions are a short walk away, but again once the sun goes down the cottage takes on a cosy 'feel' and you have your own little oasis even in a bustling little town. Pickering and the Moors is a place we find ourselves returning to time and again, and Lockton Cottage will certainly be one property we will look to whenever we book.

    Bountiful welcome basket was well received. Pity that some obvious maintenance issues that were clearly not new, had not been attended to. Loose capping on the outside steps causing me to fall over, miher tap in kitchen needs attention as water spurts out from base when cold tap turned on, old break in patio table pushed back together and nearly had a full hot mug of tea in my lap and I noticed that one of the chairs had a broken horizontal stabilising spar brokenl. The Amazon TV turned out to be disconnected as we discovered on last day. All the above issues were within 2-3 hours of arrival but the balance of the two weeks were fine. I emailed the owners regarding the above but have had no response to date.

    We had a fantastic week in North Yorkshire and it started from the moment we arrived at our cottage - it was beautiful and full of character and was, without doubt, the best-equipped cottage we've ever stayed in. Our four-year-old son loved the garden and his cosy seaside themed bedroom and the overall furnishings were second to none. The cottage had a lovely homely feel but was modern in its features and immaculate - the welcome pack was much appreciated and included essentials along with a bottle of lovely red wine and Italian coffee. Packing at the back was ideal and a short walk into Pickering which has everything you need and a stone's throw from a great local pub. All in all great value for money I would definitely recommend this cottage to couples and small families.

The property

This beautifully presented, end-terrace stone cottage, is in the historic market town of Pickering, the gateway to the North York Moors National Park.

Renovated to a high standard, this Grade ll listed property is perfect for families and friends wanting to explore the stunning surrounding scenery and the nearby seaside resorts of Whitby and Scarborough.

Full of warmth and character, there is a bright and modern kitchen with a small dining area and a door opening onto the rear garden.

A cosy sitting room leads off from the kitchen, with a warming open fire set in the original fireplace, beamed ceiling and tongue and groove doors; a comfortable and welcoming room in which to relax after a busy day out.

Traditional cottage stairs take you up to the two pretty bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Tastefully furnished, with great attention to detail, the cottage has a lovely homely feel, ensuring guests have a very pleasant stay.

Outside to the rear, there are a couple of steps up to the sheltered lawned garden and patio, a perfect place for a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine!

With the added benefit of off road parking, rarely found in Pickering, guests can leave their cars safely behind.

A ten minute walk brings you into the hustle and bustle of this popular market town, where a wide array of individual shops, tempting tea rooms, pubs, restaurants and a weekly market along the main street await you.

There are many attractions in the immediate area, including the Beck Isle Museum and the castle ruins, whilst both young and old will enjoy a magical trip on the steam railway, which winds its way through the heather-clad moors to the small village of Grosmont.

Well worth visiting are the stately homes and gardens of Castle Howard (from Brideshead Revisited) and Duncombe Park, along with the pretty market towns of Helmsley and Kirkbymoorside.

Golfing enthusiasts can enjoy a round at the excellent courses at Malton and Kirkbymoorside, whilst culture lovers will enjoy Byland and Rievaulx Abbeys.

With easy access to the coast and wonderful walking through spectacular countryside, this splendid cottage provides a good base, all year round.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £50.
