The cottage is cosy and comfortable, well equipped and spotless. Positioned opposite the NYMR, we so enjoyed the steam trains puffing by and from the small courtyard garden you can see Pickering castle. Pickering is a delightful town with all the amenities we required and. are only a few minutes walk away from the cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will recommend to family and friends.

The cottage was beautiful and everything we could have wanted was provided. Very comfortable beds. Lovely cosy lounge and very clean. The view of the steam trains from the lounge was fantastic and proximity to Pickering centre make this a very highly recommended stay. Thank you Yvonne and Bill

We are big train enthusiasts and this place couldn't have been more perfect. The place had an amazing view of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, but the cottage itself was also really charming and a lovely place to stay. Great location and the cottage had everything we needed :) Will definitely be staying here again when visiting North Yorkshire.
