    friendly staff
    great location
    low water pressure
    poor lighting

    we had a fantastic stay in a really comfy n luxurious room with a huge bed. breakfast was delicious w lots of choices and the staff were super friendly. the location is perfect, right in the middle of pickering and walking distance to the castle and steam railway. also, there was helpful newspaper delivery every morning, which was a nice touch.

    only thing was the water pressure in the shower wasn't the best and the lighting in the room could be brighter. but these didn't ruin our trip.

    Cozy Atmosphere with Lovely Staff

    I had a fantastic stay in a really comfy room with a huge bed. The breakfast was delicious, featuring a great selection and quality ingredients. The location was perfect, right in the middle of Pickering, making it easy to explore local attractions like the steam railway. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which made all the difference. One area for improvement would be to ensure better soundproofing in the rooms to minimize noise from the street.

    Super comfy room with a huge bed. Loved the decor—definitely gave it a cozy vibe. Nice touches like homemade biscuits and tea/coffee facilities. The bathroom was clean and bright. Only downside was the shower pressure could’ve been better, but it wasn't a big deal.
