Stayed here on Fri 29th Nov. First impressions were good. all the staff were friendly and extremely helpful.
The room was well laid out, with a large warm bathroom. Plenty of space to move around. Our room overlooked the Christmas tree on the roundabout, which meant we had a bit of traffic noise through the night, but not intrusive or enough to disturb sleep. nice offering of teas, coffees, biscuits. Breakfast was made to order, so nice and hot with quality produce. we had a full cooked breakfast, which was delicious.
If I'm being really picky, the shower lacked any power, which meant I had to take the shower head off the riser rail and crouch in the bath.
Would definitely stay again and recommend.

pickering這個小鎮不錯，我們是到這裏坐蒸汽火車就住了一晚。這個酒店類似於家庭旅館，環境尚可，但服務基本沒有的。早餐含雙早，但是多出的一個小童要另外買，冷餐10英鎊，熱餐16英鎊，我們就説含早的兩個大人點熱餐，小孩另外加的點冷餐。服務員説大人的在餐單上隨便點，也沒有數量限制，我們一共點了好幾個菜品，以為都是一個個單品，結果每份都有配菜，我們看着吃不完了就讓他們沒有上的菜不要上了。最後結賬，説我們點的熱餐超過了兩份，並且沒有上的菜既然點了就都算在內，小孩那份也一定要按照熱餐來收費，爭辯未果，他們根本不聽解釋的。而且更過份的是，我們點餐的時候，我們也明明説了小孩要冷餐，點了超過了三個人的量，服務員為什麼不提醒我們？！服務太差了！

We love this hotel and have stayed quite a few times over the years. We had a Deluxe Room which was quite spacious and the bed was extremely comfy, not too soft. Breakfast was great, table service rather than a buffet, the lady that served us was very friendly and attentive. Lots of parking spaces too.

The hotel is a little dated but I guess the £120 per night is because of the area. Staff are very friendly. Room was dated and small fro £120. WiFi very poor 3-4Mb/s max. Not great for MS Teams or streaming Netflix. I ordered the fish and chips assuming that being fairly close to the coast that it would be good. Unfortunately this was not the case. The batter was soft in places so I assume the temperature of the oil was not hot enough. The fish itself was mushy so I am guessing it is frozen fish that is defrosted rather than fresh. For £19 I expected better.

A wonderful hotel, cleanliness excellent, comfortable room, delicious breakfast cooked to order, good choice of menu at evening meal, extremely helpful staff, and right in the centre of Pickering - who could want for more on a break in the North Yorkshire Moors.

We stayed as a family. Pickering was a wonderful base for us to explore the surrounding area. The hotel itself was wonderful, an absolute gem. The rooms were clean and bright overlooking the lovely gardens. The service at breakfast was wonderful with a good selection of continental and cooked items. We had a drink and evening meal the first night and really enjoyed the food. The stars were so friendly and helpful. We felt the hotel was excellent value for money. All in all we would stay here again when next in the area. Thank you for making our stay so great.
