We find that light sleepers may prefer the twin room to the attic as the church clock chimes can be heard at the rear of the house.

The Kerrs
We had a great time staying at the Old Kings' Head, Pickering We were 4 adults and 4 children 1, 5, 9 & 12 This house was perfect, beds very comfy, lovely decor, bathrooms great and kitchen is the best well equipped kitchen for a family we have seen, kids plates/ cutlery , space, seats for all, etc everything that was needed. The downstairs basement with great toys, the beach equipment to borrow, somewhere to sit and a downstairs toilet just added to the family friendly house, not to mention the stairs gates already in place and doors that close properly :-) The location is on a quiet courtyard but so close to the lovely high street of Pickering. There is a park, ten minutes walk away and of course Flamingo Land a short drive. The area has lots to do and we will definitely be back again but for longer! Thank you Old King's Head
