Cruck Cottage

Pickering sits on the edge of the North York Moors, surrounded by countryside ideal for walking, cycling and riding. The village itself has pubs, restaurants and shops, plus the Steam Preservation Railway if you fancy a day out. Whitby and Scarborough are within driving distance, as are Castle Howard and York.

Cruck Cottage is a detached property sleeping four across two bedrooms—a double and two singles—with one bathroom. Downstairs, the living and dining room has a woodburner, TV and games. The kitchen is equipped for proper cooking, and there's an enclosed courtyard garden with seating outside. You have private parking on site, and the essentials—heating, electricity, linen, towels and wifi—are provided. One dog stays free.

Sinnington, nearby, has an inn known for food. Dalby Forest offers cycle routes and picnic spots. Walking trails range from gentle riverside paths to moorland routes. There are bikes available to use during your stay, though at your own risk. No smoking inside the property.
