Chance Escapes
Comfortable well-equipped modern house a short drive from the coast, Bridlington, Flamborough, Filey etc. We also walked from the coast path back to the house across the fields. House is mainly comfortable although small double is, as described, a small double bed - so this room is not really sufficient for a good night’s sleep for a couple. Kitchen is well-equipped and there is plenty of parking (3 cars possible).

Durham lodge North Yorkshire
Lovely, clean, spacious lodge in a lovely setting with a perfectly placed hot tub. The lodge meet all our requirements. Plenty of storage space, extra bedding provided and all the essentials. Highly recommended.

Hidden Family Farm Paradise- near York & the Coast
We have just returned from a stay in this wonderful barn. Pictures don’t do it justice. It’s even more beautiful than the pictures show. Great location and really peaceful. The children loved seeing the chickens and horses. Great location and would definitely recommend for families wanting to go to Whitby , Dalby Forest and the little village of Thornton Le Dale with its lovely cafes.

Bel air The hideaway
An unusual tucked away single storey property, so much space for the 2 of us! Very quiet, off the street, with parking nearby. Conveniently located for beach or town. Comfortable bed and settees, cosy heating and all kitchen facilities. We shall return!

Stunning Accommodation surrounded by Countryside
Ben was an excellent host and I would really recommend his place for the location, if you are holidaying in Ripon it is very central. The house was clean and homely. Parking is on street and we managed to get a spot on the road every night the week we stayed but generally it had filled up by approximately 17:00, there is alternative parking in a carpark around the corner though. There is a nice running route through fields along the river out of Ripon and back in from the north. Thanks for the lovely stay.

Sunrise & Seaview with pool access
Another lovely stay in Rachel's luxury caravan away from all the hustle and bustle, we have now stayed four times in the past twelve months and never once had a problem thank you rachel from Ian and Christine.

No 27A Holiday Apartment
Another good stay at Lisa's Perfectly located for a short walk into town or the seafront.

Castle and Mount Views Scarborough
Short stay but everything was as expected and will definitely book again if another reason to visit the area arises.

Your guide to Pickering
Welcome to Pickering
Lying at the southern border of the dramatic North York Moors, Pickering is an ancient market town that can trace its roots to 270 BCE. St Peter and St Paul’s church was built in Saxon times, and contains some of the country’s most complete medieval wall paintings; Pickering Castle was begun by William the Conqueror. You can still walk around the ruins of its motte-and-bailey fortress (used by no fewer than six English kings), while the Beck Isle Museum offers a chance to see everyday life as it’s been lived here in more recent centuries.
The town’s marketplace and high street are still the thriving hub of the community, full of independent shops, cafes, and businesses from bakeries to antique stores, while the natural splendour (and glorious isolation) of the moors are practically on the doorstep. And if that’s not enough to quicken your pulse, you can always visit the nearby theme park Flamingo Land.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Pickering
The neighbouring North York Moors are at their most stunning in summer and autumn, when they’re ablaze with pink and purple heather and busy with bees, butterflies, and other colourful wildlife, making it an ideal time to stay in one of the area’s holiday cottages. Summer is also the warmest time to be walking on the moors, although temperatures can be unpredictable, so it’s always worth packing for all conditions and making sure you’ve checked the forecast before you head out. Pickering’s famous steam railway usually opens seasonally from March, although there have been limited winter services in recent years; the surrounding countryside can be particularly beautiful if you’re lucky enough to see it covered in snow. In October, Pickering hosts a Railway in Wartime weekend, when the streets of the town revert to 1940s style and WWII reenactments take place.
Top things to do in Pickering
Newbridge Park
Right below the towering stone walls of Pickering Castle sits this forested community park, whose woodland has been restored by local volunteers. It’s a great area for walking, and there’s also plenty here for mountain bikers, with cycle trails, a jump park, and a pump track. They’ve even turned a disused quarry into a pleasant picnic area.
North Yorkshire Moors Railway
This historic steam railway is one of the best in the country, and Pickering is its southern terminus. A ride along its 24-mile tracks will take you through beautiful Yorkshire countryside, where you’ll stop at a sequence of lovely villages, all the way to Whitby on the east coast. Even if you’re not planning a journey, it’s worth a visit to the station, whose vintage tearoom serves fresh pies and scones.
Kirk Theatre
There’s a real tradition of theatre-going in Pickering — the small town manages to maintain no fewer than three venues — and the Kirk is at its heart. Its home, a once-derelict Wesleyan chapel, is part of the town’s fascinating religious history as a centre for nonconformist believers in the 19th century, from Methodists to Quakers.
