The Farmhouse - Low Farm in Pickering offers a tranquil, central location ideal for those seeking peace and quiet. Guests appreciate the stunning views, abundant wildlife, and the opportunity for lovely walks. While some guests encountered issues with hot water and boiler functionality, the cottage's charm and setting often outweigh the inconvenience. The lack of Wi-Fi and phone reception is noted, but for many, it adds to the property's appeal as a retreat from the hustle and bustle.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage's cleanliness is generally satisfactory, though there are comments about the oven needing a clean and unemptied recycling bins. These issues seem to be isolated rather than indicative of overall poor cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, scenic views, and proximity to nature and walking paths. It is considered great for exploring the area and enjoying the local scenery.
The cottage is described as cosy and relaxing, suggesting a comfortable stay. However, there were some concerns about a heavy duvet and lack of hot water which slightly impacted the comfort level.
Facilities are adequate but several reviews mention issues with the boiler and hot water, as well as a lack of instructions for appliances. These maintenance issues have affected the overall experience.
There is no mention of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Only suggestion would be to have logs all cut for the log burning stove . The previous owners always had an abundance of logs in the shed all cut . Having said that we will be back again.

a nice and cosy place to stay for sure, The only negative was the bins outside full of waste needed removing, and the property needed a sign erecting hard to find for most people!

We had no hot water on arrival or next morning, it was slightly lukewarm. There are no instructions or information in the cottage and no number to contact if you have a problem. I went on to Sykes website to look at reviews to see if anyone else had had a problem and whether they resolved it. There were two reports of problems in June. We had to go on line to find instructions for boiler and managed to sort it out. This is not really appropriate, there should be a contact number, even if only so owner can talk you through problem. Otherwise cottage as expected. Location is great for exploring area from east to west etc. Plenty of walks and lovely scenery full of variation.
