About

Picturesque group of stone cottages set in open countryside on edge of the market town of Pickering.

The cottages have beamed ceilings, traditional stone fireplaces, and pantile roofs. They are spacious, superbly equipped, tastefully furnished with the emphasis on comfort. Some have four-poster beds. Large attractive gardens with garden house, play and barbecue area.

Nestling between Yorkshire's scenic heritage coast of Filey, Scarborough, Whitby and the historic City of York. Pickering has good local pubs serving real ale and tasty regional dishes. It boasts a superb indoor swimming pool along with its famous medieval castle and North York Moors Steam Railway. The North Yorkshire Moors National Park (Heartbeat and Harry Potter country) is on your doorstep; Whitby, Scarborough and York 40 minutes drive away.
