The Old Cartway

Excellent holiday cottage - clean, good facilities, nice location, handy parking.

Zac was a great host and the 'welcome pack' was very much appreciated.

What’s not to like.

Beautiful cottage, exceptional welcome pack and Zak, the owner, was brilliant. We love our visits to Pickering and this was our first visit to the Old Cartway. I am sure we will be going back

Lovely cottage in a great location for countryside walks, the NYM steam railway and the coast.

Really warm welcome from Zak and lots of unexpected essentials and treats. Lots of space for a family of 5 with 4 adults and a teenager. Really well thought out and great facilities. We would go back...

The cottage is very clean and comfortable, we however did struggle with both the bar showers due to the temperature cartridges being faulty and not correctly blending the water at cooler temperatures.

(I'm a professional plumber). We did struggle with the road noise due to the cottage being on a busy road and it having a thin wooden front door. It literally feels like you are sitting on the pavement especially when the large lorries drive by which is every few minutes. We noticed that the first floor smoke alarm was missing from it's base plate. The cottage is very cosy a good size for a family and well positioned for exploring the Yorkshire moors and coast line. The road noise however would deter us from a re visit.

Beautiful cottage very comfy beds tv and games room for children really spoilt for choice had an joyable stay

Welcome pack lovely thought beautiful.

cottage everything you could need location.ideal.

Very well equipped cottage and very comfortable beds and bedding.

The property owner was very helpful and welcoming. It was good to have back garden and a space to park. It would have been nice to have wood supplied for the open fire, especially over Christmas period. The noise from the road could also be improved with secondary glazing in front room and front bedrooms. Other than that very comfortable.

There was no starter pack for the fire and we had to ask for some, very happy to supply but they didn't arrive until next day and with no instructions in the cottage for the central heating it got a bit nippy.

The traffic noise was an issue for us, it is constant even through the night. Secondary double glazing might help. Cottage itself was lovely and clean and the back garden nice and secure for dogs. Will certainly visit again.

Lovely well equipped cottage in a great location for exploring the area.

The cottage had everything you need and the enclosed garden with parking space was a bonus as we had our dog with us. A nice touch to have the little welcome pack and the owner is easily contactable if required.

We had a 3 generation stay for the week, grandparents, children and grandchildren.

What a beautiful home which is very well equipped and homely. The welcome pack was a great bonus and much appreciated. Beds were very comfortable and the additional shower really useful for grubby kids playing in the garden. The location is fantastic for exploring this area of the country either by car or by local bus ( although these take longer then you think at high season). Hosts were very helpful and we will definitely return. Highly recommend!!!

Lovely clean cottage with everything you need.

Comfortable bed and spacious garden. Appreciated the welcome package biscuits,crumpets and x buns. Only downside was the traffic noise but if you are used to this it wouldn’t be a problem. Enjoyed the stay

We enjoyed our short stay at The Old Cartway.

Excellent location. Beds very comfy, also pillows! The only down side was the traffic noise, and the boiler continued to fire up/pump throughout the night, even though the heating wasn't on, or the water being used? The welcome pack of biscuits, crumpets, milk and hot cross buns were very much appreciated. Thank you very much.

Absolutely wonderful, comfortable, and homely place perfectly located for exploring pickering, and the north Yorkshire coast.

We felt right at home with all the luxuries provided (plus the little extras like the delicious biscuits and crumpets) by the very attentive and fantastic host. We enjoyed it loads as a young family and would recommend to anyone.

Lovely clean cottage in a fab location Perfect for our girls weekend away we really enjoyed it It has everything we needed

Very clean and comfortable

Fantastic property in the perfect location for exploring Pickering and the wider area.

The cottage has everything you could need during your stay and more! Fantastic garden for our toddler and dog also. Highly recommend.

Very well equipped.

Excellent welcome pack, much appreciated. Adequate off road parking for a large SUV (Q7). As others have said, on main road. No double glazing so a little noisy in the master bedroom and lounge, however it is not that busy.

It is clear that the owners have invested a great deal of time and thought into this property.

However the significant amount of traffic noise diminishes the enjoyment of this property. I would recommend a more substantial, sound proof, front door and triple glazing be installed.

A cottage for the perfect get away.

Well placed for Pickering and touring the North Yorkshire Moors. The cottage has everything you’ll need for a break, a home from home

Had a lovely stay.

Beautiful house in a beautiful area

A very welcoming/ homely cottage with everything you would need.

Extremely comfortable double bed. Close to Pickering town centre and local amenities. Road noise was there but didn’t disturb us. Zac was very friendly and helpful when we arrived offering good advice on the best Indian and chippy- Yorkshire portions are certainly ones to fill you up!!! Plenty of places to visit within reasonable distances of the cottage.

This was a very nice cottage.

It was our fault because we didn't look at the pictures well enough so thought there were two double bedrooms. Otherwise it was clean comfortable and the kitchen was was very well equipped. The host was very helpful and welcoming. Pickering is well worth a visit and a good base for exploring so we would thoroughly recommend

A wonderful gem with all the home comforts you would need.

We made the owners aware of our late arrival and were so impressed that the lights had been turned on. This certainly made it easier with two tired children. We were also pleased with the milk and supplies that had been kindly left, it was very appreciated. The cottage is conveniently situated with only a 10 min walk into the centre of Pickering at the most. There is also off street parking and a great garden. It is certainly a tardis and very deceptive with more than enough space for a family of 4. It is very well equipped and comfortable and in February warm and cosy. We are certainly hoping to be back and would most definitely stay there again.

Beautiful property.

The owners have pretty much thought of everything you might need. Excellent quality throughout. Owner also went above and beyond to make it a comfortable stay.

The cottage was really beautiful and really well fitted with everything you could possibly need during your stay.

It was a perfect location too for walking into Pickering.

Lovely cottage.

Everything you could need & more. Zak was extremely helpful and the welcome pack a great addition. Pickering is a nice little village & central for visiting the coast, York, Harrogate etc. Would definitely stay again.

The property was in a great location; close to a park, a pub, fish and chips and the town centre.

It was clean and well equipped with everything you would need for your stay (including a lovely welcome pack). The owner was lovely and extremely helpful. All in all great place to stay and would definitely come back.

Fabulous !

Clean, tidy, beautifully cosy cottage. So handy for Pickering. It had everything we could ever need. Lovely to meet the owner on arrival and some wonderful goodies left for us which were so welcome after a long journey. I totally recommend this cottage and I will return ! Thank you Zak and family.

Really comfortable cottage with everything you need

A beautiful cottage, very well equipped and wonderfully clean.

Lovely linen on the beds and the beds are very comfortable. Hosts really helpful. Thank you very much!

Fabulous accommodation in perfect location for touring the sites of Yorkshire.

Welcome pack amazing and very helpful owner. Highly recommended

Fantastic quirky cottage with plenty space and facilities.

Owner very welcoming and the welcome pack much appreciated. Would happily have never left

This is a lovely cottage - clean, well maintained and spacious, with lots of lovely touches.

The traffic noise from fronting a busy road is a downside, but this is offset by the convenient location near shops etc, and at the rear of the house and in the garden it is very peaceful. The welcome pack was a lovely touch and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The cottage is beautifully decorated.

The only downside for us was the traffic noise from the main road and being unable to have the windows open because of this. This is to be expected with the location of the cottage, however if upvc windows and doors were fitted this would help to alleviate the noise when they are closed. Very well equipped.

The Old Cartway in Pickering was the perfect post-lockdown escape.

The cottage's interior is beautiful throughout. A lot of care and attention has been taken with the décor, which proved to be a real mood booster. It was a lovely place just to hang out and relax. We visited in late April after the first easing of lockdown restrictions, so it was a very outdoor-focused holiday and it was nice having such a cosy cottage to return to. We were sad to leave and could have easily stayed here an extra week. Hope to return again in the future.

Cottage in a great location as a base to explore East Yorkshire.

Zak and Ruth were lovely- with some nice welcome treats ( including delicious fresh eggs) and then, later, very understanding about a small mishap with a kettle !

A new kettle and a cafetiere were provided very quickly and their friendly approach was much appreciated.

Great cottage.

2nd time here and will return. location great and cottage comfortable clean and well equipped

Lovely place,lovely town,excellent touring centre and Zac and Ruth ,lovely people.

Will be going back.

Great cottage, great location, lovely owner and felt really safe.

Gorgeous cost cottage.

Large fluffy towels and good quality bedding. Warm welcome from the owner. Lovely welcome pack. Very near town centre about 10 minutes walk. We would definitely recommend this lovely cottage.

About a 10 minute walk and in an excellent location for central Pickering and NYMR Station .

A very high standard of refurbishment work has been carried out and is reflected in the standard of furnishings. A good gesture by the owners ( Zac & Ruth) is the supply of essential provisions. Would we return? You bet we would!

Lovely cottage in a lovely location we had an amazing time and would recommend and return.

Great host and such a lovely cottage for a family to enjoy.

The welcome pack left by the property owners was amazing and extremely appreciated!

The property was centrally located in a lovely market town with plenty to see and do.

realy nice clean comfortable and near amenities

The cottage was very well equipped and great location.

The noise from the main road was noticeable but we like to sleep with a window open and are use to living in a quiet village. It was very clean and the welcome bits and bobs( biscuits, juice, bread, milk etc) was really appreciated. A lovely cottage great for exploring the coast and North York Moors.

The Old Cartway was comfortable with tasteful decor and little touches that welcomed you as soon as you arrived.

The location was ideal and Zak the owner was very informed on good places to eat and even valet parked the car for us. We loved it all.

The Old Cartway was nice & clean, Warm, had was very well equipped.

Zak, meet us on arrival was very nice & took time to show us around and show us where everything was. A big thank you Zak, we had a wonderful week.

Fantastic cottage, ideally situated for town centre and main roads to Whitby, Scarborough etc.

Quaint, quirky cottage with lovely touches, loved it, so homely, didn't want to leave.

Excellent cottage with everything we needed and more!

Perfect location for visiting York, Scarborough, Whitby, Thirsk, North York Moors. Highly recommended.

A modernised listed cottage, private off road parking at the rear, clean, bright amd spacious.

The owners were very friendly and helpful. The fish and chip restaurant and the pub lived up to his recommendation. The scones and jam on arrival were a very nice touch. As others have said, it is on a busy main road but we did not find the noise too bad and the location was ideal for us. The Local Go Ape in Dalby Forest is highly recommended too.

Lovely to be met in person by the owners, I know this is not always possible but felt it was a nice touch.

Although the property was on a main road, when the weather is nice the enclosed rear garden is quiet and gets the sun all day.

The Cartway is a delightful terraced property, the owners Ruth & Zac and incredibly helpful and welcoming.

This property exceeded our expectations.

Lovely comfortable house which was spotlessly clean.

You are very close to a busy road but the noise didn't bother us too much.Tea, biscuit s and homemade scones awaited our arrival.There was plenty of room for 4 adults and a 10 year old.Go Ape at Dalby Forest is about 10 minutes drive away and well worth a visit .

This is a lovely, quirky cottage which was beautifully presented and perfectly clean.

Zak and Ruth met us when we arrived and were very welcoming and friendly and the welcome pack of home-made scones, butter, jam and cream plus biscuits, tea and milk was second to none. The only drawback is that the cottage is on a busy trunk road with heavy traffic thundering past the door all day and much of the night. Investment in double glazing on the front would make a difference as would the fitting of a less flimsy front door. Pickering and the surrounding area are beautiful.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and very welcoming.

Facilities are really good here. The only problem we had was that the house is on an extremely busy road (A170) and therefore very noisy in the lounge. That said it is also in an extremely good location. Would recommend.

This is a lovely comfortable cottage, spotlessly clean, with high quality equipment.

Owner very welcoming and even fixed my daughters brake lights for her. With the snow outside we couldn't have picked a better place to stay in and be comfortable. My 91 year old mother with severe mobility problems was able to move around the ground floor without any problems and use the shower, would definitely recommend downstairs snug/bedroom for anyone with stair problems. Beds wonderfully confortable. Many thanks for our stay.

Great cottage , perfect location .

Owners made us feel very welcome.

The Owners were very welcoming and there were home made scones, tea, chocolates on arrival.

We were able to park 2 cars securely within the back garden area. The cottage was very homely, very well equipped and presented tastefully. It's less than a ten minute walk to town - lots of eateries and some dog friendly. We had a relaxing holiday - thank you Zac and Ruth.
