Woodpecker View is a converted barn attached to the owner’s farmhouse, complete with original beams and vaulted ceilings, located just outside the beautiful market town of Pickering. This well-equipped studio is light and airy with a beautiful, beamed living area and breathtaking floor to ceiling windows on one side, looking out over the patio and garden. The kitchenette has all you would need to make a cosy meal for two.

This lovely studio, located just outside Pickering amidst beautiful countryside, would make an ideal retreat for couples to enjoy the Vale of York and the North York Moors National Park. Whatever your interests, there is something for everyone, historic castles, museums, farms, walking, cycling, superb local markets with the very best Yorkshire produce and, of course, restaurants and tea rooms too numerous to mention. With walks and cycle routes direct from the doorstep and in a good 'dark skies' area, what is not to love?

This is the best property that we have stayed at, well presented and every thing you need is thought of down to equipment for the pooches. Feeding bowls, blankets, dog bed, feeding mat and treats! It is by far the best dog friendly cottage we have used and we will definitely be using it again in the future. A lovely welcome pack is supplied by JezRead more and Ginny, wine, bacon,sausage, eggs and cake! Tea,coffee,sugar and a small bottle of milk to get you started and the whole lot is gluten free so ideal if you are a coeliac of gluten intolerant. The cottage is a great place to explore North Yorkshire most destinations being around 15 miles away. I highly recommend this cottage absolutely fantastic Hide
