Pickering Dalby Forest Visitor Centre Hotels

"This is a lovely pub with quality rooms,a good restaurant and friendly service. Secure parking was a nice bonus. The room facilities include tea and coffee making facilities. The central position on the main street was ideal for local amenities."

"The breakfast was outstanding and the owner couldn’t have been more accommodating "

"Perfect cottage for a family Christmas. The cottage was very spacious and was decked out for Christmas. It is situated in the heart of the village with local pubs and shops just around the corner. "

"Lovely little place with great dog walks and local pubs nearby. Thank you "

"The house was lovely. Nicely decorated and spacious enough for us. The location was excellent and parking was adequate and right outside the door. The lounge confort was lacking. Sofa and chairs were not suitable for lounging, we were unable to sit together comfortably - chairs in lounge had the comfort level of dining chairs. Lot of cobwebs in the tiny slot windows in lounge and bathroom, there were plates etc still in the dishwasher. Light pull in downstairs toilet had snapped off at the ceiling and was just left on the window sill. The lovely open fire which we had seen on the photos and were really looking forward to, couldn't be used because knob to turn it on was removed. We had looked forward to this cosy, weekend and it changed our whole perspective. All of this, however would have been ok if the communication had been there. I would have just contacted the host but I booked and messaged immediately, two days before we arrived, to ask whether we would be able to park in the car park a little early as check in wasn't until 4pm. I didn't receive an answer. I also didn't receive any access information and I messaged to ask for it on the morning of travel. It was suggested that I hadn't looked properly and that I must have missed it - even though the booking website told me to contact the property direct, for access information. I then had to message again to ask for access information, which annoyed me. Shame but this spoiled the overall effect for us."

"Everything was excellent."

"The cottage was lovely, very cosy and inviting. We spent a week exploring the area and enjoying the local walks. Thornton-le-Dale, Pickering and Helmsley were all interesting places to spend some time in. All in all we had a lovely peaceful week's stay."

"Lock Cottage is simply but comfortably furnished and very roomy. It is situated on a quiet and attractive street. The only downside was the shower being in the bath which wasn’t obvious from the photos and it’s something we try to avoid as we find them difficult to get in and out of. Nearby is Levisham which has a very attractive pub, The Horseshoe, as well as Levisham station where you can watch the steam trains on their way through between Pickering and Whitby."
