Beautiful Cottage

We were a party of 4 two couples with my dog. We had a fantastic time the cottage was very clean and well equipped with a lovely gas fire, some nice biscuits for us and treats for Ella's on arrival. Would defiantly like to return in the summer to enjoy the lovely garden. Recomend

6/10 Okay

Nice cottage with a lot going for it but also some issues

The cottage is well located for Pickering and parking was never a problem. Downstairs is quite spacious and pretty comfortable. Everywhere is nicely decorated too. The kitchen is large with the slightly odd arrangement of having to go outside to a back utility area for the dishwasher and washing machine. The garden is very nice, a great place to sit out with a drink in the sun. However, one of the most important elements in any hotel or self catering accommodation is the quality of the bed. The master bedroom mattress simply wasn't up to the standard we expect of a 4 star cottage. It's a king sized continuously sprung mattress which is very springy and every time one of you moves the other person can feel it. I would expected at least a good quality pocket sprung mattress or maybe a hybrid memory foam/pocket sprung. As a result we did not sleep well. The second bedroom is ok but there is absolutely no usable storage space, there is just one wardrobe in the main bedroom. Also cleanliness, we'd expect the place to be immaculate (we have a number of 4 star holiday rentals ourselves so know what's expected). There were several cobwebs, the rim around the bath between the panel and bath was dirty, one of our towels was dirty and the dish drainer needs replacing. The grouting in the bathroom also needs cleaning/replacing. Also the tie backs in the main bedroom were literally falling out of the wall. Given that there are much better places we've stayed in locally, we won't be returning.

Thank you very much for your feedback. We have never responded to a review before because up to now, they have always been positive. This is our first review with negative comments in 5 years, so we take its contents extremely seriously. Firstly, the 4 star rating is awarded to us by Visit England and the cottage has to pass stringent tests. This includes the quality of the mattress. We are shocked at the comments regarding the cleanliness as we consistently score highly in this area. On our last annual inspection, we received 95% for the quality of the cleaning. We have also carried out our own inspections since the comments and have found no further issues. The dirty towel is unacceptable, but if we had been told, we would have changed it immediately. We’ve looked into how it happened, as a it has never happened before, but it remains a mystery and one that will never be repeated. We are unsure how to respond to the comment regarding no storage in the second bedroom, as there is a wardrobe with a storage draw in the room. Finally, Lavender cottage is our only holiday let and not a business, but somewhere we love to escape to. It is full of our own personal belongings and most of the feedback is that Lavender is a real home from home. In light of your comments we have monitored reviews since your visit and all comments have been positive. Thanks again for your feedback and we’re very sorry we won’t be seeing you again. Ann and Tony

Fantastic

Great experience all round. I was immediately impressed by the customer service, flexibility and assistance that was provided by Angela. It was apparent very early on that she cared about the experience her customers would receive, and would be willing to go the extra mile. The cottage was lovely, warm, comfy and we arrived to a welcome message with tea, biscuits and a bowl of dog treats. Throughout the stay I had a couple of questions and Angela provided information via message almost immediately.

Lovely Pretty Little Cottage

The cottage was great and a lovely little garden although it was November !! but the dogs enjoyed the outside space. Cottage just as described and true to the photos . Great Location to Pickering town and close to all facilities. Very warm and toasty and a nice gas wood burn effect stove in the living room . Very good communication from Angela the owner I would certainly recommend this to friends and we hope to return again sometime .

Fabulous stay

Lavender Cottage is a beautiful, quirky holiday cottage. We were very impressed, very clean throughout. With everything we needed. The garden was a welcome place to relax on an afternoon and the cottage is so cosy on an evening, when we wanted to wind down. Comfy beds and tastefully decorated. We hope to return next year. A big thank you from all the family

Lovely little cottage

Great cottage in Pickering and the ideal base for a week exploring the Yorkshire Dales and Coast. Very helpful, local owners and overall a great stay. Great enclosed garden at the rear of the property, the only small downside is that it is located on a very busy road so you needs your wits about you when travelling with a young family but all-in-all we would stay again.

Cosy cottage in Pickering

A lovely home from home in good location. Very comfortable and cosy. Low doorways need to be remembered by taller visitors! Downstairs bathroom might not suit everyone but wasn’t a problem for us. Everything you would need is provided and comprehensive information folders tell you everything you need to know . Lavender cottage is a credit to the owners who have clearly put a lot of love and thought into their lovely home.

Walking distance of steam locomotives - perfect!

The cottage is well placed and comfortable. Parking on the road might seem a menace but it all worked really well - with care just needed when unpacking/packing up and frequent crossing required. To be within walking distance of the attractive town, the steam railway, walks around the castle etc never mind the CoOp, was a real positive. The town is charming and to be so near to facilities made for a very relaxing time. Malton is only a few miles away, with trains to York and on to Durham, and Goathland and the North York Moors are easily reached by car too. So, a charming cottage in a good spot. Low ceilings just need to be remembered. The lighting, flooring, bedding are all positives. The garden is nicely enclosed and dog friendly. A warm and welcoming property.

Perfectly located and perfect for a family

The property is indeed centrally located in Pickering and we could have eaten out every night at a different restaurant or indeed cooked in every night. The house is quirky and perfect for 4 people with a lovely garden which is enclosed and perfect for dogs. The parking is on the road but was never a problem - only once when we returned during the day did we have to park more than 50m from the house. The bedrooms are both doubles with one slightly bigger than the other. There is a nice TV with speakers and somewhere to play DVDs - overall we had a perfect time and visited everywhere from Whitby to Scarborough, Helmsley to Malton. All are within 45 mins - many closer. The GNYR steam railway is perfectly located and the area is also perfect for cyclists. The house has a covered area where bikes can be kept in the garden; they were perfectly safe there. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Schönes Cottage mitten in Pickering

Die Besitzer haben viel Liebe, Geld und Mühe in dieses nette, kleine Haus gesteckt, das über einen sehr schönen Garten verfügt. Es ist alles vorhanden, was man brauchen könnte. Ich empfehle es unbedingt weiter. Für zwei Personen optimal, für vier auch gut, aber das zweite Schlafzimmer ist sehr klein, weil halt damals so gebaut wurde. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten direkt in der Nähe.
