Despite only giving it an average rating had a good stay at the cottage and it had a good welcoming feel to it.It is close to pickering and makes a good central base for touring.Woodburner was very good and as previous reviews the toilet cistern was a novelty not seen one of these since leaving school a very long time ago.

We stayed in Cherry Tree Cottage for a week at the end of August. Pickering is a lovely town in itself and is the perfect location for exploring North Yorkshire, close enough to York, Whitby and some pretty villages and towns. The cottage is a short walk from the town. Parking in the drive is not for the nervous or spatially unaware, but was mastered easily enough with a bit of confidence. On road parking was easy enough to get as an alternative. The cottage is breathtaking on first view and furnished with everything that we needed for the week. We were a bit disappointed that the weather remained nice enough not to need the wood burner! It was the perfect choice for us and our dog (who was made welcome pretty much everywhere that we went) and we would definitely stay here again if returning "up north".

This is a cosy little cottage in Pickering. Comfy lounge with woodburner , although we didn't use it,no need because weather was good. Well equipped kitchen. Nice bathroom . Comfy bed once in it, especially if you sleep on the left. We did know this before we booked. There is off-road parking but anything bigger than a Honda Jazz, you will struggle to get in. Not much of a problem you can park in front go gates to unload and there was always plenty of free parking on the street. Plenty of places to eat in the Town. Can recommend both the Indian and the Chinese either side of you and the pub across the road does a tidy pint. Didn't try the food as they had recently taken over and we're not doing food. Turn right out the gate,20yrds, newsagent and then a Costcutter mini market, both good. Cross over road, go left,3-4 mins walk, little CoOp and a very good Chippy. Would stay again.

My boyfriend and I have just got back from 3 nights at Cherry Tree Cottage in Pickering having booked through Sykes Cottages and it exceeded our expectations for the money we paid. The cottage was immaculate; very traditional, well equipped and cosy with a log burner, stacks of wood and brilliant central heating which was much needed!

It's located just a couple of minutes walk from the town centre so ideal for a stroll out in the evening to the local pubs and restaurants. The owner's instructions were great, there is a key safe to gain access to the cottage which was straightforward and off-the-road parking at the back for a small car. Lovely comfy bed and excellent shower. All in all a fantastic break and I'd definitely recommend this cottage to others looking to explore the North Yorkshire Moors.
