Guests say
Hillcrest is a well-appointed cottage in Pickering, praised for its comfort, location, and value for money. Guests enjoyed the proximity to local attractions and amenities, with some minor concerns about street noise and maintenance issues.
Most guests found the cottage clean and well-furnished, though a few noted areas needing more attention, such as spider webs and a limescale-ridden kettle.
The location is highly regarded for its convenience to local shops, the NYMR steam railway, and attractions like Whitby and York. Some guests noted busy street noise.
The majority of guests found the beds comfortable and the house cosy, with a powerful shower and a warm atmosphere, although one review mentioned firm beds.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-stocked kitchen and a pleasurable RangeMaster. However, issues with heating controls, a fridge malfunction, and a lack of parking on-site were mentioned.
While guests appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and straightforward access, there were no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts.

We loved Hillcrest. Beautiful home with everything you need for your stay. Kitchen is very well equipped & my sister cooked the most amazing roast dinner for family during our break. Comfy beds & a lovely warm home.We know Pickering well as we have relatives there & the home is in a perfect position for an easy walk into town. Parking on the road not far from the house was not a problem. We'll definitely stay again and would recommend.

Had a fantastic week at Hillcrest. Absolutely brilliant place for a holiday if you like walking on the moors, riding bikes in Dalby Forest, eating fish n chips at Whitby. The cottage itself is very well appointed and amazing value for money. Would recommend and would come again thank you.
