Summary:
Centred in the middle of the historic market town of Pickering, North Yorkshire, Iris Cottage is a cosy ground floor apartment with plenty to offer guests looking for a quiet retreat. Sleeping up to four guests across two bedrooms, Iris Cottage is the perfect location for families and groups of friends to head to when looking for a getaway with lots to do on your doorstep with the beauties of the Yorkshire countryside at your fingertips.

The Space:
Iris Cottage has a cosy and homely living room, with wooden roof beams running elegantly across the ceilings, a comfy sofa, two matching, equally-comfortable armchairs and a flat-screen TV - this is a truly relaxing space for you to fall back on after your action-packed days exploring all that Pickering and the surrounding Yorkshire countryside has to offer.

The apartment's kitchen is full of character. With green wooden cupboards and drawers, the room is given a traditional, yet stylish look. All readily equipped with all the modern appliances that you’ll need to make the most of culinary grand designs from dishwasher to fridge-freezer, and kettle to oven and hobs. From there you can go ahead and take in the whole house for a meal together in the dining room, where four plush chairs surround the fine table set up.

Head to either of the two bedrooms and you’ll find tranquil spaces for easy living and soothing nights rest. There is a king size bedroom, as well as a super king. This bed can be split to form two singles, making Iris Cottage ideal for families staying with children. If this is something you are interested in, you will need to request this prior to your stay. All beds are made up using plush bedding and premium bed linens to ensure that you have the best night’s sleep possible. Both bedrooms are also en-suite. One has a bathtub, separate shower, WC, and wash basin, whilst the other en-suite boasts a shower, basin and WC.
