"The property was as advertised."
It was clean and extremely comfortable. The area was amazing for walks in the country. The quaint little town of pickering was a few minutes walk. Overall an amazing stay.

"Wonderful little cottage in probably the best location in Pickering, just far enough out of town for absolute peace and quiet, we are very familiar with Pickering so knew exactly where it was before we booked, Castle cottage is perfect for 2 people, great enclosed garden for your pooch to mooch ,a lovely kitchen and a lovely bathroom (the shower was that good we had 2 every day) we slept well in the comfortable bed and always managed to park right outside."
..our only slight grumble is that we found the seating in the lounge very uncomfortable, we realise that being a small cottage that space is an issue but after a day out walking/exploring it would of been nice to kick back with your feet up and relax ,we struggled to get comfortable though. This wouldn't stop us coming back as we love Pickering and Castle cottage!

"We’ve just returned from a weeks stay at Castle Cottage and could not have been happier with our choice to book!"
This is a gorgeous, extremely well looked after little cottage with everything we needed to be comfortable as a family of 4 staying with our dog. There is a lovely little sun trap of a garden where we enjoyed a few al fresco meals, and is only a two minute walk (if that) from Pickering town centre where there are lots of dog friendly pubs and eateries for when we didn’t fancy cooking.
This was the perfect base from which to explore North Yorkshire, would recommend Falling Foss, Dalby Forest and a day trip to Whitby on NYMR from Pickering station. Communication from our hosts, Tracey and Ashley, was also top notch and we would not hesitate to book again. A proper little gem of a holiday let, you will not be disappointed!

"Thoroughly enjoyed the holiday a lovely relaxing break, just exactly what I needed."
I had a small problem with the keys, this was sorted almost immediately. Full instructions on how to work the appliances, very clean and comfortable. The place was lovely, nothing seemed to be too much trouble. My dog enjoyed being out in the garden. It was a shame I had only booked a week and I had to leave. I sincerely hope the future guests enjoy their stay just as much as I enjoyed mine. God Bless you and thank you.

"Such a beautiful, clean cottage."
Really enjoyed our stay. It was our home away from home. Even the kids said are we going home? After a day of exploring the beautiful area of Yorkshire. And they meant the cottage then. Definitely telling my friends about it! And maybe more Dutch people will visit the place!

"Fantastic cottage, oozing with character and beamed ceilings close to the castle and not too long a walk to all the amenities of Pickering."
Very pretty yet dog friendly garden with more grass beyond the cottage up towards the castle. Parking is on the street and can get busy but we managed fine.
Everything has been thought of within the cottage, with a well-stocked kitchen and lots of thoughtful touches throughout (the torches and night lights were so useful). The welcome pack was much appreciated.

"A warm, comfortable and well equipped little cottage."
Nice garden at the back which catches the sun at the bottom throughout the day. Very easy on street parking at the front door. Very comfortable bed. Excellent location; 50 yards from the castle and a 5/10 minute walk to the town centre and the Steam Railway. A couple of really good pubs close by.

"An excellent, well maintained and clean cottage."
There was plenty of space for a family of 3 and the kitchen and bathroom were very modern with everything we needed.
The beds were very comfy, particularly the double bed which had a new mattress.
The location is ideal with about a 10 minute walk to the centre of Pickering. It's on street parking but we got a space reasonably close each day. The road is wide enough for double parking to off load bags, etc.

"Cottage well equipped and very clean."
Nice welcome pack which was handy. In a very quiet location, parking was first come but we always managed to park. Ideal for dog owners, plenty of walks near by. Lovely garden but unfortunately didn't get to sit out, too cold. My only problem was the mattress has definitely seen better days, not comfy at all. There is a door between the lounge and the dining area which needs a mind your head sign as my husband banged his head on it many times, if your over 5ft8 remember to duck.

"A gorgeous cottage with wonderful facilities and amenities."
Upon arrival all of the rooms were exceptionally clean and well presented. The living room was welcoming, the dining area was beautiful, the kitchen was well stocked and the bathroom was exceptional. Upstairs, the bedrooms were very cosy and the beds were very comfortable. Behind the cottage, the garden was very well kept. The welcoming gift package was exceptional, providing the first night essentials of milk, tea, coffee and biscuits. Overall, my experience was pleasant and I'd love to return at a later time! I would definitely recommend staying at 12 Castlegate!

"Very happy with our stay in Castle Cottage."
It was cosy and comfortable. We were very grateful that they accepted our new elderly dog, which they didn't need to, so many thanks. If I could point out two worries, not problems, one being the stair hand rail which was so low we couldn't use it (just us being old no doubt) and secondly the washing machine wasn't working during our visit. Unfortunately we only bring a couple of change of clothes as we usually wash them whilst at the properties. Hand washed but nowhere to dry. Overall we enjoyed our visit and North Yorkshire was wonderful. Couldn't believe how quiet the cottage was.

"This lovely cottage, is just how it’s described, we were very lucky with the weather, so after being out during the day, we spent the lovely evenings sitting outside, the garden is beautiful well kept and private."
We cooked at the cottage a few times and everything we needed for use was there. Everywhere was clean. The shower was powerful with plenty of hot water. Going upstairs the main bedroom, was pretty, the bed lovely and comfortable. So if your looking for a gem of a place, look no further. 5 min walk your in the main town. Lovely restaurants which Tracey, the owner had recommended, pubs, shops, everything at hand, King Charles also visited Pickering on the Monday. So it was just a perfect week. Thank you toTracey and Ashley. For allowing us to stay in your beautiful cottage. We will return. From Linda Shaun and Molly.

"We had a lovely stay at Castle Cottage in early May 2023."
It is ideally located being walking distance from the shops, heritage train station (not main line) and right by the castle. We stayed with our three-year-old who loved the garden and the gentle sounds of the steam trains during the day. There are some nice walks you can take from the front door across the fields or beside the river and the train track. A short drive away are other beauty spots and market towns. Tracey and Ashley gave us some great recommendations beforehand for trips, walks and food. The cottage is compact but very comfortable and the kitchen is well-equipped. Space-wise it was perfect for two adults and one child and could easily fit another child. I think it would be workable, but a bit cosy, with more than two adults in the dining/living space. We had a brief problem with the hot water, which Ashley and Tracey had fixed within just a few hours, despite being out of the country on a holiday of their own (and in a different time zone). All in all we had a great time and would definitely recommend Castle Cottage.
