Loved my time at the cottage. Peaceful, beautiful garden. Brand new kitchen with everything you need for your stay. Hosts available if needed and super friendly. Easy walking distant into Pickering with all its shops and amenities. Just the chilled out week I needed. I visited Castle Howard, Scampston Hall, Scarborough and also booked on a local yoga clas. Great location and great cottage!
