Beautiful detached cottage ideally situated within easy reach of Pickering and the North York Moors
Beautiful detached cottage ideally situated within easy reach of Pickering and the North York Moors steam railway. Very quiet village with great pub a short walk away with the best Sunday lunch! Very friendly and helpful owners living on site always available if needed. Recently renovated cottage with everything you need including a generous welcome pack. A very relaxing 3 nights in September 2024. Highly recommended.
Easy check in, Chad the host was on hand when we arrived and showed us around the property including a good welcome pack. Everything you could need in the bungalow for a nice peaceful stay, near to a very good pub, and close to all the attractions of the north York moors. We will definitely return in the future.

We loved Craven Cottage it was over and above what we would have expected.
We loved Craven Cottage it was over and above what we would have expected. Location was very good easy to get to buses train stations and the Local pub was just a stroll away and very good. The owner of Craven Cottage was most helpful and friendly and was there if you need anything, the welcome pack was brilliant most unexpected Couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay we would definitely go back again.
