Cherry Tree Cottage, 17A Eastgate, Pickering, Pickering, North Yorkshire, YO18 7DU

The cottage is beautiful, loved the decor and it had everything we needed, the courtyard was perfect for our two dogs. The bottle of wine and biscuits and milk were an appreciated extra. Good location for exploring. Bit noisy at night with the restaurants but one does get used to it.

My fiancée and I stayed here for 5 days as our anniversary getaway. When we first arrived we loved the cottage and how it was kept in such an old style. There were also mince pies and a bottle of wine left out which was a very nice touch. It was however, very cold when we first entered and the heating had to be left on for the majority of our stay. Over time we also began noticing that the cottage wasn't particularly clean, including cobwebs and pet hair from previous visitors. The kitchen equipment (plates, pans, cutlery, etc) was also dirty and had to be washed before use which is obviously not ideal. This is due to previous visitors but we feel should also be checked by the owner. The shower was also very old looking but did still work to a good standard. The bathroom was very nice but there is a window behind the toilet which completely takes away the privacy of the bathroom; we covered this with a towel as we weren't comfortable using the bathroom otherwise. Since arriving we have also noticed that the photos used to advertise the property aren't up to date. There is only one sofa instead of two and the coffee table is different.

The village of Pickering is very sweet and it is really nice to walk around and talk to the lovely people. This cottage is situated on the main road into Pickering, which means that there is constant traffic noise, even through the night. It is also very hidden away, meaning that we did drive past it at first. Due to this, we rang the owner to ask for help, to which he didn't answer and didn't get in touch again, and also didn't welcome us on arrival. This gave us a negative impression of the owner and his services.

Overall we did enjoy our stay but wouldn't return or recommend.

Stayed for 4 nights over the new year ,a couple and a husky..met matt on arival was very helpful and friendly..the cottage is set out very well..large kitchen and living room with the bed and bathroom upstairs..parking available but a bit tight not a problem as there is free parking on the road ..the log burner kept the cottage nice and toasty..great location for visiting the coast ,Whitby and Scarborough within 30 min drive..Chinese and Indian takeaways are within a min away and it's 5 min walk into the town...Will be back again

We spent a lovely week in Cherry Tree cottage - accompanied by our labrador cross and we were all made to feel extremely welcome by Matt and Lisa on arrival. The cottage is well equipped and has loads of character and charm - including a lovely and very effective fuel burning stove - which we didnt think we would need - but did load up with coal - and it was lovely. We also had the bonus of the outside space which is secure and private and offers a good spot to sit out and have a drink in the sun. The location in Pickering is great - you can walk to sever

Just spent two weeks in CTC. Renovated 6 years ago, the property is as described and is on the A170. I can only re-emphasise what the last reviewer said in April about the noise. Luckily we read the review and came prepared with ear plugs. The owner has been very helpful and spoken to both establishments. Up shot is that the Indians will try to cut down their noisy early hours phone chatter, but the Chinese are allowed to cook a family meal after 11pm. The extractor starts at 12 noon. We have enjoyed a warm welcome in Pickering, which is a beautiful town and

disappointing stay, bed made from old timber very uncomfortable. Furniture and fittings of poor quality, also very noisy from restaurants either side and garage surrounding cottage. noisy industrial extractor fan until 12.00am. chatting from restaurant staff until early hours outside bedroom window. Outside space would benefit from some improvement . Overall very disappointing
