    We have stayed in many cottages across the country. Your cottage has been the best we have stayed in. The attention to detail, the quality of the furnishings, and the ambience of the cottage is brilliant. We arrived late on a Friday night. We were welcomed by a warm front room, with a welcome basket. We immediately felt at home. We spent a lot of days exploring the local area, however we really enjoyed coming back to your cottage to relax, make some lovely food in your well equipped kitchen and enjoying the relaxing atmosphere you have created. We both work very hard in our lives and this was a lovely haven of peace. Thank you Mel and Irene, you literally have the best rental property in Yorkshire. We will definitely be booking again. For other Potential guests: Russell’s bakery in the market place is stunning. Lovely produce and amazing cakes!! Nosh, they do lovely food, from breakfast through to lunch, using local produce where they can. My wife is coeliac and we have managed to negotiate this well in Pickering. Capplemans is a fish and chip restaurant that caters for coeliacs and gluten free diners. It’s collection only, but it’s a 5 minute walk from the cottage. It’s worth it! Previous guests have mentioned the on street parking issues. We managed to park on the street, not necessarily in the same spot, but not far at all. Thanks again!! We will be back soon!!
