Fantastic location with the heritage steam train to the front and Pickering Castle to the back, plus being easily walkable into Pickering. The cottage had great attention to detail, from the coat hooks in the bedroom to the resources onsite. Toasty warm in this cold weather and easily accessible instructions about equipment. A lot of thought has gone into the cottage and the owners kindly notified us that we could access it early. Amazing lemon drizzle cake, and everything you would need for a cuppa on arrival. One of the best cottages we have ever stayed at, - Thank you!

The location was perfect, with shops restaurants and the railway only a few minutes walk away. The cottage was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and equipped with everything needed for our stay. There was a lovely welcome pack with milk coffee tea, a gorgeous homemade lemon drizzle cake and more. We would not hesitate to recommend Beck Cottage and will definitely book again.
