"We loved the location of the property."
It was very clean. There was good communication ahead of the visit. The bed was comfortable. Garden was ideal. The only thing we would recommend is to have information on local walks. Even the shops did not have walks. We ended up walking elsewhere which is a shame as I am sure walks round Pickering are lovely.

"We have stayed in Pickering at this time of year for over 30 years now, and love the area."
We were new to Castle cottage though. It is a beautiful holiday home, very comfortable with everything you need. It is situated a short walk from the high street and right by the castle which gives easy access to lovely dog walks.

"An absolutely lovely little cottage."
Ideally situated for the castle, the town and the railway. Really cosy little home from home. Mike and Liz were really helpful before the visit and the welcome pack exceeded anything we've ever had before. Hopefully be back again in the future

"The cottage was cosy, clean and welcoming."
The welcome pack and flowers were a lovely touch. The small back garden was charming and very secure for our little dog. It had all the facilities we needed and was within a couple of minutes walk of the town centre, pubs and restaurants. Being so close to the Castle was also a big bonus as it gave us an opportunity to walk the dog for a constitutional before setting off for the day. Parking wasn't an issue as there always seemed to be a space on the road. We would certainly stay again.

"The cottage is in a great location, only 5 minutes into town and nice and quiet at night."
Parking can be a bit of a challenge at times as it can get fairly busy. The cottage was fairly clean on arrival, fireplace a little dusty and the microwave door wasn’t cleaned but other than that I was happy with the standard of cleaning throughout. The kitchen is very well equipped. One downside is the size of the fridge, for a family of 4 there was no where near enough room for a weeks worth of essentials and had to keep leaving items outside in the cold. The fridge was also a little temperamental and kept turning on and off throughout our stay. The cottage has a lovely little garden, great for our dog. Bedrooms are comfortable and the master has plenty of space.

"We loved our stay at Castle Cottage."
Clean, comfortable, quaint and well equipped facilities. The fridge/freezer is a bit small, so did our food shopping daily in the town.
Great location to explore other near by towns, villages and seaside resorts. Pickering castle being literally on the doorstep was fantastic.
Would definitely recommend staying here and we hope to come back again soon.

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Castle cottage in Pickering, it is very clean and perfectly equipped for a family of 4 ."
The cottage is nicely decorated, really welcoming ( we found available all what we might need, including fresh flowers, logs for the fireplace, fresh milk and local biscuits) . We would surely come back if we plan to visit again the Yorkshire.

"A lovely holiday!"
Castle Cottage is a pretty, mid-terrace found towards the top of the road that gently climbs to Pickering Castle. It's very cosy and welcoming with some lovely period features as well as everything we needed to make our stay comfy. We found the beds very good and slept well, the sitting room perfect for us and the kitchen well-equipped although we didn't do much cooking as we preferred to eat out and relax. Plenty to see and do in the area, Pickering's a quaint place to wander and has excellent shops for everyday needed as well as a lively market day. We were blessed with a lot of lovely sunshine as well as a little English rain and enjoyed hearing the distant soundtrack of the steam railway. We loved Castle Cott and would be very happy to visit again.

Cottage was in a fantastic location, easy to get to town centre (5 mins walk) and castle is across the road with lots of different walking paths to follow. No problems parking outside on the road. Quiet and peaceful. Bed was comfortable, loved the log fire on colder nights. Felt like home from home, everything we needed for a wonderful break with our well behaved dog.

"We arrived to a really cute cottage, it was equipt with everything!"
The kids loved all the board games and we thought it was a fab idea it brought us all together to have family time. The location is perfect for the town center and flamingo land. My only complaints are the main bedroom window needs a blackout curtain as the street light is directly outside the window, also the wardrobe in the main bedroom makes a lot of noise, not ideal when you have small children in a cot next to it. Not enough to put us off we would love to stay here again.
