"Lovely little cottage, just 3 things, I found the bed quite hard and uncomfortable, missed having a tv in the bedroom and I found it very hard to have a shower as no room to be able to get under the shower head."

"An excellent place to stay just less than 10 mins walk from the centre of Pickering."
The cottage is attached to the owners property so assistance is on hand if required, the place was really well equipped , spotlessly clean and we would certainly consider going back there. A good point to note for people with limited walking or wheelchair use is that the walk into Pickering is very flat and has nice wide footpaths. There is nice off road parking at the cottage which is a bonus. In all a great place to stay .

"We had a brilliant holiday in Pickering."
Westgate Cottage was lovely and clean. The owners are next door and were helpful and friendly but not intrusive, which was perfect. The cottage is comfortable, modern and well equipped, with everything we needed. Parking is conveniently in an allocated space just outside the house. It is perfectly placed for a short walk into town and great drives to the country and coast. There are some good quality takeaways and cafes within walking distance. Overall, I would highly recommend this cottage.

"The cottage was spacious and had all the facilities we wanted."
The beds and seating were very comfortable. It was good to be able to park right in front of the cottage. The Wifi couldn't really cope with 3 people on their laptops / iPads at the same time but that wasn't a major problem for us. I never found out how to open the bathroom window. We were very happy with our stay here.

"Westgate Cottage was the best one that we have stayed in."
It was very clean and cosy. It was fully equipped. Central to all amenities. It has a good car park and in fact you don’t have to use your car because there is a good bus service and steam train to Whitby.

"There are so many positives about staying in Westgate Cottage."
The location is ideal. The cottage is well furnished, clean and well equipped with almost anything you would need including a coffee pod machine and pods! The one small detail which we felt could have been provided was a small bistro table and chairs outside the door as there is no rear to the cottage. That said, it is advertised as having a communal garden area and we were blessed with exceptionally hot weather. There isn't a whole lot of space for outside seating due to accommodating parking spaces, so it is a compromise. We did feel though that a couple of folding chairs to enable us to sit out would have been the icing on the cake. This is a really lovely cottage and the owners are thoughtful and friendly.

Sarah and Chris are very welcoming and full of any advice you need to know about the area, and good places to visit. Incidentally the cottage is in an ideal area to visit many places without travelling too far.
We arrived to find a very nice welcome tray with cake, tea, coffee and milk, which was most appreciated. It was a pleasure to arrive back at the end of the day and be able to chill out in comfort. Would recommend.

Picture of garden slightly misleading as you have to cross the courtyard to access it but it has a good private parking space two steps from the door.
Pickering short walk away, steam train and countryside all easily reached without having to drive.Flamingoland 15 minutes in car and ideal for our teenager.

"Really well appointed cottage with everything needed for a home from home feel."
Even the tea,coffee & cake awaiting our arrival! Weather wasn't the best so after a long days walking it was a pleasure to come back to a warm comfortable cottage. The cottage is well placed to visit lots of places, we took the steam train to Goathland (heartbeat fame) walked Mallyan spout then on the rail trail to Gosmont & train back. Rydale folk museum was another fascinating day out with lunch in the pub next door. We also easily got to Whitby with in 40 minutes. We will be recommending both the cottage & the area to friends & family.
