Guests say
The Farmhouse - Low Farm in Pickering is a tranquil and picturesque retreat, praised for its peaceful location and wildlife. Guests appreciate the property's spaciousness, comfortable beds, and the bonus of a laundry room. While some maintenance issues are noted, such as boiler problems and overgrown gardens, the property's charm and the helpfulness of the manager and owner during a mini crisis are well-regarded. The lack of Wi-Fi and phone reception is mentioned, but for many, it adds to the property's appeal as a place to unwind.
The property generally appears to be well-kept, with comfortable bedding and a welcoming atmosphere. However, there are comments about the oven needing cleaning and unemptied recycling bins, which suggest room for improvement in cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its beauty, quietness, and proximity to nature and walking paths. The views and wildlife are a highlight for many visitors, although some found the property slightly hard to find.
Guests find the beds very comfortable and the property spacious. The presence of a log burning stove and the peaceful environment contribute to the overall comfort. However, issues with the boiler affecting hot water supply slightly detract from the comfort score.
The farmhouse offers a range of facilities, including a large kitchen diner and a surprise laundry room. Nonetheless, there are several reports of boiler issues and a lack of information or instructions for appliances, indicating a need for better maintenance and clearer communication.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score for this category.

It is an ideal place to stay if you love walking. Me and my dog clocked up some serious miles, and saw some wonderful wildlife. The farmhouse is a lovely place to relax and unwind. We had days where we didn't go out; we lit the fires (there was a plentiful supply of wood), did some reading and just enjoyed the view. We had a mini crisis while staying there, and the manager and owner of the farmhouse were very helpful and supportive. We are very grateful for that. We will be regular visitors.

Very comfortable beds and bedding. But the property requires some maintenance. It is looking very tired. The gardens are very overgrown and no working WI-FI although it was advertised as having it.

It is in an excellent position, the bed was comfortable and the house warm and pleasant. However, generally speaking the place is a bit tired, particularly the bathroom and kitchen white goods (the fridge decided to freeze everything on our second night) and could do with some updating. On arrival the central heating did not work and neither did the WiFi. We contacted Shane and the next day both problems were sorted out by himself and BT. The central light in the bathroom did not work but that was not a problem as the mirror light was sufficient.
