  Thank you

• "Loved the location, the 'feel' of the place with the open brickwork, beams and tiled floor, only comment for improvement would be: for the colder months, having a couple of throws or blankets in the games box to put on the leather sofa and to go over the guests would be perfect as it can be cold when you get back in an evening, noting we were there in mid March."

  Loved our week there though and a perfect location for exploring NE Yorkshire whilst having all amenities on hand within walking distance.

• "Very rustic cottage."

  We love it here and we've been before.A few things could be improved. For example the cushions on the sofas are very flat so it was hard to get comfortable.There were no logs for the fire or firelighters or kindling so we had to go and buy some.

• "An amazing property; [ the inside and outer garden space]; antique furniture to my taste."

  That Anita and Mathew have kept the pot sink and toilet system is a fine touch. Easy to find; thus key safe explained prior to arrival, parking not an issue; lots of places on the street; no disc needed. The garden, or pebble yard; an unusual area. sufficient for if you have a pet. If fine weather; it would be nice to sit out and dine. The area is close proximity to cafes , shops and such. An enjoyable period staying at cherry tree cottage; and would stay again. Thus is a grass lawn outside the gate,

  It would have been an asset to have a 'grab bar' alongside the toilet, either fixed or one that would pull out from left side of toilet. Absolute ideal location in Pickering I felt secure.

  The sink tap in kitchen could be further towards sink as water flows onto board and goes towards wall, tap pressure too much

  Comfy bed, surprisingly quite spacious kitchen. Despite being in the middle of Pickering it's tucked away and is quiet. Great base for exploring North Yorkshire. Can't do anything about the weather, but we found plenty to do and managed to avoid most of the rain. If I were to make one small suggestion, that would be having a pair of kitchen scissors (unless they were there and I just couldn't find them

  Firstly the entrance door had no stayback that held top door open and secondly the bottom door was a poor fit as although there was a door draft sausage dod type thing drafts seem to by pass it and a large draft was constantly there. secondly although you had left instructions to flush the loo it wasnt adequate. the tiolet had the oldy worldly touch but i think that it is nut practicle in the modern world and needs the header upgrading. hoping your not to upset of my complains but was asked to highlight my thoughts.

• "I really liked the unspoilt feel of the building, sufficiently converted for comfort without losing its character."

  The wooden bolt which closes the bottom half of the door is EXTREMELY stiff. I was never sure I'd be able to open / close it. I had to keep the bottom half bolted shut to prevent the neighbours' large dog bursting in. I kept the top half open to let in more light and to air the place whenever I was in. I had to buy an elastic cord to hold the top half open (I did look round for string) as it just swung shut each time. The hard floor and leather sofa/chair is a great option for keeping the place clean as dogs are allowed but the soft furnishings have absorbed the smell of dog, especially the cushions, which a person plumps up around their back and shoulders in use and so they are in close human contact - could these be changed weekly and laundered? All you would need is two sets. I found the bed and bed linen supremely comfortable! With the hair dryer plugged in there is no mirror within reach - upstairs or downstairs. Thank you for the wine, chocolates, milk, tea and coffee, they were very welcoming. I found the oven easy to use (I have gas at home) but having to use pan lids that were too large meant the condensation from boiling etc constantly spilled over onto the the stove top. The kitchen tap splashes/drips onto the painted shelf because it is too far back from the sink. When it rained a lot of water came in through the wall and puddled on the stone window ledge behind the sink (where all the soil is) - this then seeped away somewhere over the next couple of hours! I knew to expect dogs in the shared courtyard and I am not scared of dogs. I also know you ask people to use the shared spaces respectfully. However this message might need reinforcing. My thigh was hurt and bruised by the neighbours' large boisterous dog which constantly jumped up at me when I was going in and out and they were outside with the dogs. They tried holding it by its back legs but this was not effective. I really enjoyed my stay. I make these comments not as a criticism but as helpful feedback.

  Cherry Tree is cosy and warm, could do with a little tlc but I understand it’s getting refurbished soon. The parking permit is a welcome extra.

  Some of the kitchen utensils needed cleaning before use. There was no parking permit despite being told it would be on the table. My wife bruised her knee when one of the kitchen unit doors came away as it wasn’t secured by its hinges but by chains!

  Thank you for taking the time to write feedback. We apologise for not providing wine for you, this was an oversight on our part. The previous guests accidentally took the parking permit, and since your stay, it has been replaced. We have fixed the kitchen cupboard as well.

  Wine, chocolate and milk a nice welcoming touch. The antiquated toilet could do with replacing, frustratingly difficult to flush, not eco friendly and incongruous with the very modern shower and mirrored lighting. Inadequate wine glasses, 1 very small one with chip in base and 1 extremely large one, not ideal for a romantic meal!!!! There was an awful smell in and around the fridge area in the kitchen, we informed the host so hopefully this will now have been addressed.

  Lovely cozy cottage with nice wood burning stove which we made full use of. The cottage is in a good position for walking into town but also for access to other places. It is set back from main road so quiet, with a parking area and nice courtyard which I’m sure is lovely in the summer.

  The cottage was fine although we had some interesting moments with working the shower (figuring out where water was coming from, water going cold, we like simple!). Also we had neighbours who were friendly enough but so were their dogs. My partner is a bit nervous around dogs and struggled with having to dodge the dogs jumping up at us every time we encountered them and trying to get into our cottage. The weather was beautiful but we were not comfortable sitting in the garden because there was no peace from the dogs. Pickering is a very dog friendly area so anyone not keen, or has any issues with dogs should take this into account. Otherwise a great area to explore. Pickering is a lovely little town, lots of tearooms and pubs for food, all really nice.

• "Overall, the cottage was lovely and dog friendly."

  However, as mentioned by previous guests, the mattress needs to be upgraded as it was uncomfortable. There are some lovely period features at Cherry Tree cottage, beams in the kitchen, lovely banister railings and antiques items placed around the cottage, not to mention the lovely stable door is beautiful. Whilst we were there, we reported a strong smell of sewerage in the kitchen area and Matt called over to remedy this for us. However, it persisted and whilst not present all the time, made for an unpleasant experience at times. The cottage is well proportioned and the kitchen is spacious with lots of surface space too. The flag stone floors are a lovely focal point and the cottage was warm enough for us not to light the fire in March. Cherry tree cottage is a good base to explore North Yorkshire with the moors just a 15 minute drive away and Whitby and Scarborough within an hours drive. We did enjoy our stay here but more could be done in terms of comfort and making it a more pleasant place to stay.

  In easy reach of York, Whitby and Scarborough. Pickering and the surrounding villages were really delightful. The cottage did not meet our expectations though. The cottage we found to be grubby and in need of a thorough clean - we had to wash the crockery before we could use it. The lovely picture of the courtyard with its pleasant vista and seating was not in reality what you got - it has altered somewhat and looks quite different now - very sparse. We also found it quite noisy in the evening because on either side of the cottage is a restaurant and a take away with quite noisy extractor fans. All in all we did have a wonderful time and are very reluctant to write such a negative review.
