  • Views of passing steam trains behind the garden fence as the property sits on NYRM line
Property code: OC-Y035

This charming cottage, set over two levels and with an enclosed garden, on the outskirts of Pickering, is ideal for families or friends who are train enthusiasts, as you can watch the steam trains passing just behind your garden fence. The bustling market town of Pickering is home to a weekly market, various independent shops, cafes, and tea rooms to drop by and indulge in after a day of exploring Pickering Castle and the Beck Isle Museum of Rural Life.

A pretty property full of character has been decorated in soothing tones to create a relaxing home-from-home, perfect for spending quality time together. Enter through the back garden into the lounge, and the beautiful exposed wooden ceiling takes your eye. Sink into the comfortable sofas, throw a log on the wood burner in the cooler months and spend time chatting or watching the TV. Stairs from the lounge lead to the first floor. A contemporary kitchen/dining room has all the appliances you need to cook up a storm, wc and a bathroom completes the downstairs. On the first floor you’ll find three bedrooms - one king-size, one single and one twin with a window seat. Outside is an enclosed garden at the rear with seating from which to watch the steam trains.

You can catch the steam train from Pickering for a journey over the North York Moors to the popular seaside town of Whitby and enjoy the beautiful countryside along the route. Head into the moors to the picturesque village of Goathland (16 miles) and walk the three-mile Mallyan Spout / Beck Hole loop. Seasoned walkers should go to Newton Dale (10 miles) for walks between three to seven miles to enjoy. Cayton Bay Beach and Scarborough, the later with cliff tops and delicious fish and chips, are less than 20 miles away.

We booked this cottage as it was next to the North York Moors railway and in that way it did not disappoint! Great to watch the Flying Scotsman go past many times. We enjoyed the woodburner in the evenings and it was an easy walk into Pickering and to the NYMR station. However I found the cottage very dark with its thick walls and small windows, yRead moreou couldnt do anything in the kitchen without a light on. We gave up the double bed to our son who was working from home as the internet was better in that room but the single beds were not that comfortable, we could feel the springs in the mattresses. Having said that the cottage had everything we needed and we appreciated the very clear instructions for the rubbish and recycling collection. Hide

The cottage is in an ideal location for watching steam trains go past & only a short walk from Pickering Station & town centre. Shame there was no BBQ, despite there being tools and lighters for one. The freezer needs replacing asap!

Family all loved the location of the cottage and we enjoyed our week. Could do with upgrading the ground floor as water was seeping through the flooring all week.

Very disappointed in the cottage, dark and dingy, the equipment was lacking in lots of ways, we had to go out and buy several cooking utensils, we go away in holiday cottages over four times a year, this one was not one we would return to.

A comfy, cosy cottage that backs onto the NYMR railway tracks with excellent views of all passing trains. A quiet location (when no trains). Excellent walks right from the doorstep. Can walk to Pickering in 20 minutes along quiet tracks or quiet main road. Level crossing needs to be used to access the property but this is quick and easy to do with Read morethe push of a button. We loved the place and plan to return next year. Hide
