“This was our 4th visit to Coopers cottagr & it will be our last.”

Prior to arriving at the cottage we had.not been informed of the change in car park arrangements, the use of CCTV & "items for sale" out side the only entrance/exit to the cottage. We shared our concerns with Sykes. Who really did not want to know, the last message on 27th September they told us we would here back from the owner. This never happened, very disappointed and disgusted with the whole experience.

“Coopers cottage is a really lovely place to stay, close to everything you need, shops,pub,place's to eat and NYMR steam trains.”

Coopers Cottage has everything you need for a great stay in North Yorkshire. Matt the owner was very helpful with information about the area and places to go. We found the bed in the front bedroom was very hard and uncomfortable and could do with a memory foam topper. Great stay thank you.

Marian June 2024

“Very comfortable quirky cottage, enjoyed our stay.”

Good location. The property is located in a quiet area although very near to the town. As your information said, the stairs were very steep and a bit disconcerting for oldies like us with one side completely open but a sturdy rail on the other side! However, that was fine and we had a good stay in a comfy cottage.

Claire May 2024

“We had a wonderful stay in Cooper's cottage.”

The owners were very helpful and there was a very nice welcome gift of wine and chocolates. The cottage oozes charm and original features. The beds were very comfortable and despite being on the main road the cottage was very quiet.The location is superb,near all the facilities and bus stops for getting around. We will be booking again!

“We enjoyed our stay at this cottage but firstly the listing need amended .”

.we drove up and down road looking for it opposite royal oak pub that is no longer there..

Chris May 2024

“Very nice cottage but please be aware garden seating area is shared and around 30m from property door so very inconvenient, especially if you require privacy.”

Also stairway is very dangerous as no hand rail separating between yourself and a 3/4ft fall into the kitchen.

- Chris, May 2024
Caroline April 2024

“We always look for a property with off street parking, due to slight disability.”

So were disappointed to receive an email shortly before our stay advising that due to maintenance work we would not be allowed to park off road, no builders arrived during our stay and you could clearly see from the gravel drive and seating up the drive, that no private parking is ever available! And was very pleased we didn’t take our 3 year old grandson, due to the open staircase on one side, not sure how this has passed Sykes Cottages usual high standard, have used Sykes for the past 20 years, was very disappointed with this cottage!

Brian April 2024

“We really enjoyed our stay.”

The cottage was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen tap is very loose but we are sure this will be fixed. It’s in a very good position in Pickering. Parking wasn’t a problem. We had a restful break.

“Beautiful cottage, had a fabulous week in coopers cottage, visited lots of different places a fantastic base for the North Yorkshire area.”

Pickering itself is a beautiful place nice pubs and places to eat. Thank you for a fantastic week away.

“The property honestly just needs some TLC just a few little things but they all added up.”

Kettle has bits every time you use I gave up on Sunday when realised and then had to boil water each time in microwave . Bath leaks when emptying, shower door doesn't stay closed as you wash and water doesn't drain away very quickly so looks like that might flood bathroom floor too. Nearly every blind broken/ not working in some way and bed side light didn't work. The hoover (left for us to use is as bad as the kettle just not fit for purpose) I had to unblock and remove all thecred hair wrapped around it before I could use then I realised it still didn't suck anything up really. Also as most cupboards under worktop empty you could fit in a dishwasher easily. As I said just little things .

“I very much enjoyed my stay at Coopers cottage, its location so close to the Centre of Pickering is very handy and the town is lovely for a visitor.”

The surrounding areas are great too, so close to the moors and to other interesting towns and villages. My dog loved exploring with me and the town is very dog friendly. The steam train does not run during the winter, but I'd certainly like to come back when it is running because the route looks spectacular. The cottage was comfortable and well equipped. Some minor repairs are required, especially the shower tray, as it has not been installed level and due to this, the water does not drain well enough and I was concerned that it would flood the floor, so I only used the bath. The tap in the kitchen was loose also, which made it difficult to use. I was worried about parking, but this wasn't difficult, I parked on the road but the pass to park in the nearby car park for free was great. Overall, it was a lovely week away.

“We had a lovely winter break at Coopers Cottage.”

It is well placed for local walks, restaurants and pubs. We enjoyed the log burner on chilly evenings, and a long soak in the bath after a walk. We had days out in Whitby, Scarborough and Filey which were easily reached from the cottage. A good base for holidays and the dog had a great time!

Well situated close to shops cafes and buses as bus stops outside cottage Cottage needs some TLC and a deep clean Mattress needs changing on bed in front bedroom as uncomfortable or maybe a mattress topper Pickering is a lovely little town and very dog friendly

“Lovely second stay at Coopers cottage Cozy little place close to shops, pubs/restaurants and supermarkets (no need to pack a weeks worth of shopping!”

) Also close to Whitby and Scarborough so had some lovely days out, my daughter, granddaughter and I Matt the owner was very helpful and he would not of let us go without anything, asking if there was anything we needed throughout our stay Great for dogs, I recommend Dolby forest not far from the cottage for a good walk (20 mins in car) Nice touch the wine, chocolates and milk We will see you agin next year Thanks Matt

Judith October 2023

“We had a lovely stay.”

Well positioned cottage very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay wished it was longer. The dog enjoyed it and there was a brilliant pullover gate at the top of the stairs to stop her getting in the bedrooms. The only things we found were missing was a second oven glove (very difficult to get things out of the oven with one) and a tea cosy (no point of a pot without a cosy).

- Judith, October 2023
Nicholas October 2023

“The property was attractive but disappointing.”

It was grubby in kitchen and bathroom. The toilet smelt of urine. The shower screen and sink was dirty. In kitchen the draining board was dirty. All taps grubby and stiff. In our opinion the stairs are unsafe and should have a rail.

- Nicholas, October 2023
Ann October 2023

“The cottage was lovely we had a great time perfect for my dog as garden was enclosed.”

Well equipped kitchen and comfortable living room and bedrooms.

“The house was impeccable, and had all amenities.”

Extremely well located, easy for parking. Easy to access any tourist point nearby. I loved the massive bathroom. Thanks for the wine, chocolates and milk!! The Indian restaurant next door is fantastic and people are extremely nice.

Doreen July 2023

“Had a perfectly lovely week at Coopers cottage, it was in a brilliant location to get around and soak up all the North Yorkshire offers.”

The Cottage was so quirky with excellent amenities and the bathroom was amazing! The Fridge Freezer was a God send with having 3 dogs on natural fresh food.. a lovely safe courtyard for them to be outside, The beds were so comfortable with lots of space in the bedrooms..all in all a perfect week, shops a plenty in arms reach so really didnt want to leave… thankyou Matthew and Joanna Coopers Cottage is a little gem and the welcome gifts were very much appreciated xx

Kathryn June 2023

“Coopers cottage was quirky.”

Central to alot of places. Clean and tidy.But ashame about the bathroom tap so very Stiff ,Ajob to turn it on and when it was on couldnt turn it off.No shaver point in a lovely bathroom,my husbands shave ran out of charge. Kitchen tap the oher way so very loose.

- Kathryn, June 2023
Stephen June 2023

“The cottage was ok, BUT we felt that the maintenance of the property was not up to scratch.”

The kettle badly needed descaling, the toaster was full of crumbs so had to empty it before I could use it. The shower was lovely but the shower door kept opening whilst showering, worried that it would flood the floor in the bathroom. It also drained very slowly. The reception on the tv in the lounge was extremely poor. Maybe moving the microwave away from the BT hub, might improve the wifi. We also had some health and safety concerns and whilst we appreciate that it is a old cottage with steep stairs, we felt that there should have been some rail/barrier on the open side of the stairs, to prevent falls. Also the kitchen taps hot and cold were the wrong way round. The cold tap should be on the right hand side. The information pack provided is out of date. There is no public recycling bin and The Sun public house does not serve food. With a small amount of effort these things could be easily rectified.

- Stephen, June 2023
Karen May 2023

“I couldn’t sleep soundly due to the proximity to the busy road as I am a light sleeper and heavy traffic started rumbling past very early each morning.”

The cottage itself was okay but lacked little touches like soap in the bathroom and air freshener. The kitchen was dated especially the tiling and could do with a refurb. Nice bathroom but the basin tap is too tight to use comfortably and needs adjustment.

- Karen, May 2023
Sarah March 2023

“Lovely cottage .”

Excellent base for around the area. Easy reach of places of interest such as Helmsley Scarborough etc.justa couple of things:TV in lounge would buffer perhaps internet connection not great. Shower door didn't shut fully and was concerned about water leaking. But in general the cottage was great value and loved the bath.used both takeaways on either side and local shop very handy. Would fully recommend and good parking inside the enclosure. Thank you

Ian February 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay at your lovely cottage.”

We slept well in the very comfortable bed after long coastal walks. The bathroom was as described excellent shower and superb bath . Kitchen was great although we ate out most of the time. The welcome pack was also a very nice touch especially the lovely red wine. We would recommend Cooper's as a great base and also Pickering was great with good restaurants and fantastic pubs , everywhere was dog friendly and very welcoming. Thanks for having us and our dogs .

Elizabeth December 2022

“A great location, with a lovely homely querkie place to stay.”

Great bathroom and it's nice to have a shower that works. Nice touch with milk tea and coffee provided. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Would definitely recommend and would return. Just one thing, is that the hoover didn't work, and when you bring your pets, i like to give a hoover around. X

Martin October 2022

“Lovely little cottage, quirky and comfortable.”

The cottage is well equipped with a fantastic bathroom, very comfortable beds, lovely wood / coal burner in the living room. The kitchen has everything you need with a good size table to eat at. Overall a very nice place to stay, location is very central for touring this beautiful area with shops a places to eat a short walk away. The only negative is the staircase, I wouldn’t be happy having young children staying or elderly for that matter. But as stated it’s a lovely place to stay and I would recommend it.

- Martin, October 2022
Louise August 2022

“The cottage was just what we were looking for for a getaway for our weeks holiday.”

It is very central to get to other towns and villages. A little letdown as it stated that there wasoff road parking, which we took this to be at the cottage, not on the local carpark. I emailed and sent a text message days before our stay asking if there was any chance to get into the cottage before 4.00pm. I had no response untill I messaged on the day at 1.30 asking about were to find the key. I had a response instantly with where to park and where the key safe was, saying the cottage was ready for us. This was to late to know that we could get in earlier as we left later from our home so we were not having to hang around waiting to get in. Also there is only one very small window that opens upstairs so if there was a fire you would have to smash windows to get out safely.

- Louise, August 2022
Phil July 2022

“In general we thought that the property was poor and in need of some finishing touches.”

The skirting board in the bathroom was not fixed to the wall properly and had gaps behind. Windows to the front of the property were sealed closed and couldn't be opened in the hot weather. The beds were very uncomfortable and lumpy. In the lounge the sofa was quite possibly broken as when you sat in certain areas you felt like you fell through the top of the sofa. In the kitchen tiles were cracked / broken. The two teapots were dirty and needed to be cleaned before use. The listing says that there is a barbecue but this could not be found. There is an undercover seated area outside but this is filthy and could not be used. In general the whole house was shabby and needs an overhaul and also needs a good clean from top to bottom and all the blinds were full of dust, radiators were full of dirt and dust and a large accumulation of dust was behind the grandfather clocks

- Phil, July 2022
Helen July 2022

“Fantastic property in a ideal location.”

Has everything you need for your stay. Fully equipped and dog friendly. A grade 2 listed building with steep stairs but that is part of the charm. Can't fault the kitchen facilities and equipment provided. The bath is fantastic and the shower is wonderful and powerful. We had a brilliant time and dog friendly as long as the main gates are shut.

I am really sorry but didn't like the cottage the stairs are not safe for the older people or young kids with it being open plan , not homily enough for us , kitchen cold with the door having large gaps , beds felt the springs didn't sleep well, on the good side bathroom amazing, and the log fire , kitchen plenty of storage, nice and clean , a great lotation, enjoyed the wine and mints and eggs

“A lovely cosy property in thats in a great location for visits to the NY Moors, all seaside towns in N Yorkshire and York.”

We've stayed there twice now so obviously it fits our needs. Pickering has everything youll need during your stay and very friendly. One improvement for me would be an opening window in the bedroom as my personal choice is an open window at night.

- Andrew, February 2022
Catherine January 2022

“Had a super week in this beautiful part of England.”

Cottage was conveniently situated, plenty of small stores and a Lidl. Thought it might be a bit noisy,but the back room was quiet. Lovely bathroom and good central heating system. Appreciated the wine and biscuits. Pickering is delightful,and I enjoyed my morning walk around castle with my dog before heading off to the moors. Thank you Matthew.

“Cottage was in need of some love and a little tlc.”

Wheelie bin overflowing on entrance, blinds thick with dust, basic cutlery(teaspoons) not provided, beds very uncomfortable. The cottage is situated in good commuting distance of Whitby and could be a great base for a holiday but unfortunately has been neglected.

Faye July 2020

“Having read the reviews before booking we were a little bit torn, however this cottage was fantastic and absolutely suited us as a family.”

The parking was fine for our Skoda Roomster and my children loved the bathroom, which to be fair is huge and very well laid out. If you have younger children it’s probably best to know the stairs are open and that they are steep, however, that said my five year old was absolutely fine after a few trips running up and down! We hope to visit again!

- Faye, July 2020
Gill July 2020

“Good value holiday cottage, clean, comfortable and quite.”

Shared walled gravel court yard/car park with cottage attached at back of Coopers Cottage, sat outside a couple of times in the evening (no views other than the walls), but nice to be able to have some outside space. Lots of nice villages within driving distance/walking distance (if you like walking), Thornton Le Dale (1 hour walk away), Hole of Horcum (15 minutes drive), Whitby & Scarborough 30 - 40 mins drive. We had a meal at Indian restaurant in Pickering, 4 Spices (5 minute walks from cottage) and gave the food 10/10. Not all pubs were open when we stayed last week (re Covid19). Nice bath and separate shower in cottage.

- Gill, July 2020
Cecilia March 2020

Was very disappointed upon arrival the cottage was filthy every surface covered in dust floors filthy carpet in room and stair carpet look like never been hoovered beds were really uncomfortable all cutlery and plates were filthy mucky teapot looked like it had never been washed kettle pitted with lime scale we ended up eating out all the time which cost us more because of the state of the kitchen we didn’t want to eat there the mother in law had a cottage down the road from us through yourselves and it was lovely clean and tidy the WiFi was very poor at Coopers cottage to

Frank November 2019

“My wife, granddaughter and myself were happy with the cottage.”

It was very atmospheric and we were thrilled with that. With it being cold weather it would be nice to have a couple of throws to sit and watch tv. However, you can always take fluffy socks and a jumper. The tv upstairs is small for the room and we couldn't get it to work at all. In the bedrooms there was only 1 socket with plug in adaptors. Nowhere to charge phone, laptop and iPads etc. A weak wifi signal. Could do with a shaving socket in the bathroom. Luxury bathroom with quite a high bath, so be aware of that. Combi boiler meant lots of hot water. The beds were comfy and warm. One of the quilts was eiderdown, so be aware if you have allergies just ask for a different one. One of the bedrooms had a privacy curtain wall. That was ok for us. It was fab as our base. It's between a Chinese and an Indian takeaway. You can't notice smells at all. We tried the Indian takeaway which was very tasty. There's a canny little shop nearby. Out of the gate, take a left and walk approximately 100m, cross the road and it's next to the fish shop. All in all, having been to many other apartments and cottages, this was great and suitable for 3 people or 2 couples. It was definitely an experience, walking in the steps of others through the centuries.

- Frank, November 2019
Susan October 2019

“We had such a brilliant holiday with our family.”

.we stayed in the 2 cottages that are both together. They had everything you needed to make the stay very comfortable. We even had tea coffee sugar milk and cakes upon arrival Thankyou

- Susan, October 2019
Sally September 2019

“Described in different parts of the web site as an end of terrace and mid-terrace cottage, nowhere did it say it was a terrace of shops and the cottage was sandwiched between a Chinese takeaway and an Indian restaurant/takeaway.”

We found the rooms dark and draughty, not at all like the photos on the website. The steps up to the bathroom had to be negotiated sideways. There was no frosted glass in either of the bathroom windows, and no blind or curtain at the front window, we hung a bath towel over it! After struggling to get into the high bath and slipping, then unable to get out again, I dare not use the shower again, a bath mat or rail may have helped but the side of the bath was very high. We came home on Thursday as my husband was unable to sleep very well due to the noise into the early hours. We have stayed in other cottages before and we were very disappointed with Coopers Cottage.

- Sally, September 2019
Robert August 2019

“The cottage looked fantastic in the pictures.”

. in reality it was nothing like them. It was jammed between a Chinese take away and Indian restaurant. The bathroom windows were not fitted with frosted glass and was visible from the main road outside as no blinds or curtains were fitted to the front. To top it off, the staff from the Indian restaurant stood on the wall opposite the cottage and looked right into the bedroom. The place was dated and to be honest we nearly went straight home. The only thing we could do was leave early in the morning and only come back to sleep. We did cut our holiday short by coming home on the Thursday instead of Saturday. I know the place was grade 2 listed but I've stayed in them before and the standards were much better.

Sarah June 2019

“The cottage was lovely and clean, and accommodation suited us well.”

The courtyard was lovely and safe for the dog, and great to have a safe place for the car. Sharing the space wasn’t an issue. Pickering is a lovely town, very dog friendly and a fab base to explore the Yorkshire Moors and coastline.

- Sarah, June 2019
Janice March 2019

“Coopers Cottage in Pickering was a lovely location for access to many parts of the North Yorkshire Moors.”

The cottage itself had everything we needed, was clean and warm. We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet aspect of the cottage even though it was close to a main road. The second bedroom had a heavy curtain as a partition between the stairs and the bedroom instead of a wall, which did not bother my friend and I as it gave us enough privacy. On arrival there was a welcome pack including tea, coffee, milk and biscuits. My friend and I would certainly use Coopers Cottage again.

“Fabulous dog friendly cottage, although it was on a fairly busy road, we were not disturbed by traffic noise.”

The cottage provided everything we needed and would certainly recommend to others looking for a holiday with plenty of walking opportunities and excess to good local facilities.

“Great little cottage in a great little town.”

Close to all the pubs, restaurants and shops, surrounded by lovely walks which the dogs certainty enjoyed

- Doug, October 2018
David September 2018

“The cottage is comfortable and very close to the centre of Pickering.”

The outside space is only really suitable to park a small car (Focus size max) as it is shared with the neighbouring cottage, and is not really suited to sitting outside. There is an Indian restaurant one side and a Chinese takeaway the other, once inside the cottage you wouldn’t know they were there. The town is ideally located for touring the Moores and coast. It’s a 10 min walk to Pickering Castle, which is ideal for walking dogs through the woods.

- David, September 2018
Susan September 2018

“The sofa was particularly comfortable, often they are a bit sad.”

Also the suggestions for local dog walks were very helpful, in fact all the supplementary advice was useful.

Stephanie August 2018

“Coopers Cottage is a lovely characterful and spacious cottage, with really high ceilings, which was a relief for my rather tall husband!”

Pickering is a super town, with an amazing castle, beautiful paintings in the church, a great range of shops, places to eat and a steam train station. In addition, it is REALLY dog friendly - absolutely perfect for us!

- Stephanie, August 2018
Sadie July 2018

“Booking with Sykes was very easy.”

Contact with the owner was great he gave us some good tips on walks, pubs, resturants etc. Pickering itself is quite small but very quaint everyone was very friendly and dogs were welcome everywhere! We never had a bad meal - the indian next door is to die for! The only down side was that the courtyard isn't really a welcoming place to relax in which was a shame as the weather was beautiful.

- Sadie, July 2018

“The cottage was very well presented and we enjoyed using the cottage and the outside area.”

It was comfortable and very nicely laid out, To a high standard. It was convenient to walk into Pickering and a good location to visit the whole area. We hope to book it again in the future. Thank you.

“The photos were misleading as the sitting room furniture had been changed and a tv put up over the fireplace completely changing the room.”

The outside sitting area had changed completely with nothing appropriate to sit on which was such a shame as the area was a sun trap and it would have been nice to sit out in the evening. I wouldn't have booked this cottage if I had known there wasn't anywhere to sit outside. Upstairs was nice. Spacious bedrooms, comfy beds and a large bathroom. The main road is very busy in the mornings so very noisy. The indian restaurant and Chinese takeaway were both brilliant and there was no noise or smell from them at all. The location of the cottage was perfect for exploring the area and Pickering is an absolute delight.

David April 2018

“This is a great quirky cottage in a perfect location to explore the North Yorkshire moors and coastline.”

I had a brilliant time and look forward to returning. Robins Hood Bay is a must for a visit with great walks in the area.

- David, April 2018
Elizabeth March 2018

“Had another great stay at Cooper's Cottage.”

Matt, the owner, is really helpful. The photos don't do the cottage justice as the front room has been updated and the bathroom, which isn't pictured, is really lovely. I'd love to visit again with my Mum, but unfortunately the stairs into the bathroom would be too tricky for her. I will be back though! The communication from Sykes and the owners was brilliant - have used Sykes again and again and will continue to do so.

- Elizabeth, March 2018
Sue February 2018

“Everything about our holiday was good.”

We copped for the February 2018 snow, but the cottage was lovely and warm, especially the bedrooms. Pickering was a great place to visit with lots of independent shops; a bit different to large city centres with their ubiquitous high street stores.

“Great little quaint cottage,if this cottage could tell storries of the past i would be first in line to hear them.”

Marianne October 2017

“Superb location and very pleased to be able to take the dogs.”

Andrew September 2017

“I was very pleased and happy with the cottage.”

I will definitely use sykes cottages again if i stay in UK for my holidays. I will recommend Sykes cottages to all my friends and anyone who wants a vacation in UK.

- Andrew, September 2017
Kylie July 2017

“Excellent location for Pickering and surrounding area.”

Enclosed area which was ideal for the dogs. Basic cottage but completely met our needs. Stairs would benefit from banister/rails at other side as they are steep and open onto the kitchen.

- Kylie, July 2017
Anita March 2017

“Great little cottage with added bonus of parking ,excellent location for local eating or food shopping and also great for moors walking or visit to coast .”

Certainly would stay again.

- Anita, March 2017
J February 2017

“Good value for money, very warm and cosy.”

Ideal for a winter break. Well placed for local amenities, shops etc , and for trips out to the Moors. (One negative for the property, difficult to sit up in bed due to headboard design!)

- J, February 2017

- Angela, December 2016
Andy November 2016

“First holiday cottage and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.”

Pickering is a great place to stay with loads to do, and easy access to other locations - e.g. Whitby, Scarborough and Flamborough Head Cottage was great with everything needed. Really dog friendly with great takeaways and good pubs.

- Andy, November 2016
Christina June 2016

- Linda, May 2016
Guy April 2016

“The cottage is quirky but comfortable and not pretentious.”

It is a great place just to chill and relax with a great host! We love N.Yorks and being in the centre of Pickering gave us the chance to explore the countryside in the day by car and some very nice pubs at night without having to drive! We loved our week here and would definitely return.

- Guy, April 2016

Ronald November 2015

“Coopers Cottage was a perfect fit for rambling around North Yorkshire and the East Riding.”

The Cottage was very warm and welcoming - the owner was always easily contactable and gave great advice about pubs and real ales. The cottage was well appointed without being over-fussy and you felt easily at home - no ostentatious ornamentation to fret over, everything felt practical and workable. It gave what a holiday needs - relaxation! I highly recommend this cottage and this lovely location.

- Ronald, November 2015

“Coopers Cottage was very comfortable and clean on our arrival.”

Central location for the whole area.

- Simon, April 2014
Morgan December 2013

“We stayed in Coopers Cottage over the Christmas week with our 12 week old baby.”

It is very cosy with so much unexpected space in the kitchen and upstairs! The bathroom is fab with a separate space to get dressed in and there are two double beds, one in a cosy bedroom and the other on a lovely mezzanine floor. This was great as we had so much stuff with us for the baby that we could spread out very effectively. Parking is easy, Pickering High Street is a two minute walk, the cottage is next to a good Indian but it is also detached from it so no smells or noise but the bonus of having good food very close! Overall we could not recommend the cottage enough, very friendly and accommodating owners, great break.

- Morgan, December 2013
Clive July 2013
