Julie (July 2025)
5* "We loved our stay at Trackside Cottage, it was everything we hoped for and Karen was extremely helpful prior to our arrival when due to personal circumstances we had to alter our dates slightly.
The cottage is super warm and cosy, lovely showers and well equipped in every aspect. The location is great for exploring Pickering or further afield. We had a lovely chocolate cake and Prosecco waiting for us on arrival
which was a lovely touch. We highly recommend this beautiful home. Thank you.."

5* "We had a lovely few days staying in Trackside Cottage. It was spotlessly clean and all amenities had been carefully thought through. The location was brilliant especially for access to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and the parking voucher was a real bonus. There was plenty of information about things to do, where to eat, etc. The chocolate cake, Prosecco and little chocolate eggs were really appreciated. We couldn’t fault it. One of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed in!"
