  Enjoyable stay in a cosy and comfortable cottage

  Left on 04/13/2012 for a stay in February 2012
  
  

  The accommodation had everything we needed, including very comfortable beds, the only slight downside being the rather dated bathroom. The couple who were looking after the cottage were friendly and helpful and the location was excellent with lots to do and see in the area. Pickering itself is the start of the North Yorks Moors light railway and the coastal towns of Scarborough and Filey are only an hour's drive away.

  Gateside

  Left on 10/30/2011 for a stay in August 2011
  
  

  Gateside is very well equipped and comfortable. It benefits from a recently refitted kitchen which has been done to a very high standard. The 'upside down' accommodation was unusual but made the most of the views available. Great base for the moors with good links to Pickering and surrounding area.

  Excellent base

  Left on 10/24/2011 for a stay in August 2011
  
  

  Lovely and clean with everything you need to have as a base. Quiet location. Easy to get to all the places we wanted to visit, eg Whitby by steam train from Pickering, local museum in Pickering is worth a day's visit, local farmers' show was excellent. Base allowed us to relax on return from day out, plenty to do - well Yorkshire is God's own county!
