From the moment we stepped in Box Tree Cottage we loved it! It felt really spacious, warm and welcoming. It had a lovely big garden area at the back which was secure, a benefit for our little dog. Also a parking space which was a bonus.The kitchen was well equipped and all the furnishings were extremely comfortable. A great base for exploring the surrounding area. There is no shortage of places to eat in Pickering plus take aways to choose from. We just wished we could have stayed longer!

We had a great week in Box Tree Cottage. It was beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean and equipped with everything we needed. It was a a 10 minute walk into Pickering and there is ample room for two cars to park behind each other in the parking space at the rear of the property.The surrounding countryside is fabulous for long walks or more gentle strolls, with pretty villages and coffee shops. The cottage is perfect for dogs. The garden is completely fenced with 4-5 feet fencing and a solid gate so no gaps for inquisitive dogs to get out. The garden itself is beautifully kept, equipped with tables and chairs and a lovely spot to sit. We highly recommend this cottage.
