The cottage has all the mod cons you will need. Everything is spotless and well maintained. There are lovely, fluffy white towels in the bathroom and shower room, lovely handwash too. The upstairs lounge is extremely comfortable, with two large sofas and a "reading" chair. Plenty of books and games, and of course a TV and WiFi. The kitchen is very well equipped and very modern, with a dining room off it. Plenty of nice crockery and cutlery. The cottage itself has lots of character, and is a 5 minute walk to the centre of Pickering which is a lovely market town with plenty of facilities, and of course boasts the North Yorkshire railway with steam trains running in the season, and for special occasions too. The hosts of Dovecote are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. We will be back!!

Steps in cottage all uneven from utility to kitchen and no hand rail. Hall way uneven floor. very dangerous an uneven trip hazard into the e suit bedroom. Steps to front door inside were massive we used the back door out of kitchen to prevent an accident. The hill outside the property itself was not a problem if you took your time to dodge the fallen apples which made it very slippy. Horrendous smell in main bathroom - like a Tom cats spray !! The damp smell in the bedrooms was overpowering. We had to leave doors and windows open day and night. The fridge is in the utility room and the kettle is down the stairs as is the cups?? Random we thought ?? We moved the kettle and the toaster to the utility for or stay. Itâs a shame because the property was clean enough. The equipment was good. The upstairs sitting room was really comfortable. We didnât enjoy the scale up the stairs. Thought they were pretty dangerous too.
