    Property and Rooms were large an well furnished. Great for large family like us. Ample parking. Lovely walks and views straight from the door. And a nice tea room in the village. I Wasn’t sure after booking after seeing comments about master bedroom and shower room being through family room but it worked out really well as the 4 teenagers took the 2 rooms and bathroom while the 2 couples took the other bedrooms and downstairs bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped with a family table that seated all of us but some milk in the fridge would have been a nice welcome touch. There are 3 lounges each with a smart tv in each so everyone could have space and good wi fi essential when travelling with 6 gen Z’s the teenages liked the snug and we spent a lot of time here watching movies and playing some of the board games which were provided. It was surprising how difficult children’s charades were. As we could log in to our normal streaming accounts on the tv’s we had no issues with reception but even when watching normal had no issues. The garden is split between a walled seating area and large grassed paddock. The paddock was lovely and would be great for games it does have a pond fenced and a hedge around it but there were sheep next door and some small gaps to the neighbours garden so we didn’t feel secure letting our dog out without being well supervised- he did say hello to the neighbour once. This was a bit of a shame as a gate on the walled seated area would have been great and allowed us to relax a little more when out. It we still used the garden lots but had it felt more secure would probably have upped our rating. There’s loads to do locally and we used the area as a jumping off spot for the cost and moors and had a great time as well as just being around the house relaxing. Pickering had great local amenities and is about 10 minutes away. One gripe as a dog owner I like to leave the property well cleaned and the vacuum was missing a section from the wand so it was very short and difficult to use, took ages to go round and gave me back ache-invest in a better hoover and visitors are more likely to help you out and use it. We would definitely go back

    Hi Sally, it’s lovely that you enjoyed your stay. The garden is secure for dogs provided you don’t have a particularly adept escape artist!! We have a dog that has never managed to find its way out yet! Property Owner
