What guests are saying
Cobblers Cottage is a lovely property and perfectly placed for a short walk into the centre of Pickering.
We were, however, extremely disappointed in the cleanliness of the interior. The kitchen especially was disappointing. Food on the cutlery, stained mugs, stained sink, dirty microwave plate, a stain in the fridge which had crusted over, a stained and cracked freezer shelf door, food fragments in the bottom of the fridge and in the one pan that we used. I had to buy bleach, soak the mugs and clean enough cutlery/crockery for our stay. The stains appeared to be tannin from tea bags. The settee was ripped and very grubby and I doubt the carpet had been hoovered before we went. We never found the promised Welcome Pack so the cooker needed help from Chatgpt to get it going. Stains on the tablecloth and in the wall next to the toilet. The stool in the master bedroom hadn't been dusted for weeks. There was a bald patch in the bedroom carpet which looked like a moth attack. I do have photos of some of these issues. On the plus side the bedding was pristine and of good quality and the toilets were clean. We've contacted Sykes' Customer Services but have had no reply. We have booked through them for many years and have always had excellent service and properties. I read the reviews before we booked and a couple mentioned cleanliness but I hoped that this had been addressed. We also noted that the last few pages of the Guest Book had been ripped out. The storage box at the side of the settee had on it a magazine from 2011, an extension lead and a handful of gravel. It really felt we were staying in someone's house whilst they had just popped out. It is a shame as we would have returned due to the cottage being so lovely. I declined leaving a review until I had had a response from Sykes but as one has been requested again then here it is.
Hi loved the stay Cobblers Cottage it wad so clean and very comfortable would definitely recommend it thanks again .
Ps see ya next year.
Accommodation worked a treat, plenty of space for everyone, including a large dog crate.
Loved the fixed stair gate at the bottom of the stairs. We cooked a lot during our stay and there is plenty of space and all the equipment. The laundry cupboard/room is upstairs accessible through one of the bedrooms which didn’t match the description. The weather was great so didn’t use the log burner (or central heating) but I’m sure it would be a real treat. Yes you do hear the road but you quickly tune it out, our dog loved watching folk walk past the window I’m sure he thought it was a big television screen. The whole party of 5 adults enjoyed our stay and we will probably return as it’s just great.
