Overview
Property code: OC-Y035

Enjoy admiring the local steam trains passing just behind your garden fence at this charming cottage, perfectly situated on the outskirts of Pickering. Idyllic Yorkshire countryside surrounds this rural retreat so you can head out on walks through the lovely landscape or through the pretty town.

After a long walk, let your canine companion curl up on the rug in front of the gorgeous wood burner in the cosy living room as you hunker down on the comfortable sofas and catch up with your favourite programme on the TV. Lead the way through to the contemporary kitchen/diner featuring everything you need to get creative, a farmhouse-style dining table and plenty of room for Rover’s bowl. Take a relaxing soak in the family bathroom before washing off mucky pups before bedtime. Let your waggy-tailed friend relax on their favourite blanket as you retreat upstairs to any of the three beautiful bedrooms upstairs, each featuring a welcome calming neutral colour palette. Your four-legged friend will have a ball bouncing around the enclosed lawned garden as you watch the steam trains chug by along the track beyond the garden fence.

Pickering is a bustling and vibrant market town set at the edge of the majestic North York Moors, full of independent shops selling the best local produce. Explore the stunning North York Moors National Park with its unspoilt beauty offering thousands of miles for you and your canine companion to enjoy, including the iconic Cleveland Way boasting a tail-wagging journey through some scenic heather moorland, beginning from the quaint village of Helmsley, 13.5 miles away. Sniff out the breathtaking Dalby Forest, 13.5 miles away, to ramble through some stunning woodland scenery as your pup finds plenty of sticks to fetch. The Yorkshire coastline 19 miles away provides several spectacular seaside routes you’ll go mutts for.

Lovely cosy cottage snug and warm. Beautiful location waved to so many Santa's Express Steam Trains the days leading to Xmas Day....... Plenty of walks from the door with our two dogs. Beds were all comfy, as it was Xmas made alot of use of the oven - easy to use and very good working order, log burner was great, but only used once as cottage was Read morewarm anyway! We were lucky for the time of year the weather was mild. We walked into Pickering as only about a mile, as of most of the surrounding villages Pickering is lovely - would certainly reccomend. Hide

A cute little cottage, very warm, cosy and comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped. Lovely quiet location with the steam trains passing the garden and hearing lots of owls and other wildlife. Lots of walks from the cottage door and lots of lovely pubs and restaurants in the area. We would love to return.

Cottage is in excellent location for exploring the local area and for exercising our dogs on the many walking trails nearby. The cottage was very clean and the furniture was ok, but needed a coffee table or something table like in the living room to stand drinks etc on (we were worried about the possibility of spilling drinks on the sofas). The bRead moreasic equipment was good but crockery felt very cheap. Couldn't get radiators in bedrooms to come on at all (but living room one worked ok)(not major prob as it was not particularly cold, but could have been worse earlier in the season). Beds were very comfortable, but difficult to get rooms dark with only the slat type blinds fitted (especially at rear of property), so kept getting woken up at 5am by the daylight. These small niggles make the cottage seem less value for money, appreciate that the full occupancy would have been 5 persons and there was only the two of us. For us it felt reasonably spacious but suspect it would feel quite tight for five adults. Hide

We have visited the property before so knew what to expect. Many of the extras we had before such as games and vieos were missing. I assume this was due to covid! The location of the property made it difficult to walk the dog but overall a very enjoyable week.
