Best Western Forest Vale Hotel ★★★

"Pickering is a nice town. We took the steam train here and stayed there for one night. This hotel is similar to a family hotel, the environment is acceptable, but the services are basically non-existent. Breakfast includes two breakfasts, but an extra child has to buy it separately. Cold meals are 10 pounds and hot meals are 16 pounds. We say that the two adults who include breakfast will order hot meals, and the additional child will order cold meals. The waiter said that adults can order whatever they want on the menu and there is no quantity limit. We ordered several dishes in total, thinking they were all single items, but it turned out that each dish came with a side dish. We saw that we couldn't finish it and asked them to leave it. Don't serve the food that was served. At the end of the bill, they told us that we ordered more than two hot meals, and since the dishes that were not served would be counted, the children's portions must also be charged as hot meals. The argument failed, and they didn't listen to the explanation at all. And what's even more outrageous is that when we ordered, we clearly said that our children wanted cold meals, and we ordered more than three people. Why didn't the waiter remind us? ! The service is terrible!"

Cottage Lea's Country Hotel & Restaurant ★★★

Premier Inn Pickering ★★★

"The location was great , the room was fine BUT. The self check in was not working, the member of staff had to do it. The car book in had a flat battery. The card payment system was broken. The same member of staff booked us in served us drinks , served our food and helped in the kitchen. You can kill a willing horse. The staff we saw were great but so overwhelmed. The breakfast was great but again the girl had to book us in for this. The evening meal again was over booked and the staff couldn’t cope, things missing from plates, long waits , This is a management problem . The booking was not easy to do either. Saying all this I would use the hotel again because of its location."

The Old Manse - Pickering ★★★★

"An excellent 'home from home' stay and a great location. It's a short walk to the North Yorkshire Moors Steam Railway. A warm friendly welcome on arrival and we were shown immediately to our room. Our room (No6) has a great view and is spacious and bright. The bed was comfortable as were the pillows. Tea & Coffee making facilities along with biscuits were appreciated. The ensuite bathroom was spacious too and had complimentary toiletries. The breakfast was lovely, so many choices to pick and the portions were generous. A great place to stay!!"

The New Inn ★★★

The White Swan Inn ★★★★

The Horseshoe Country Inn ★★★★

Rocklands Lodges ★★★★

"We have stayed at Rocklands many times now. We love the peaceful location of the site, and the many places to enjoy the countryside nearby and within an hour's drive. The lodges are comfortable and warm and the hot tubs are an added luxury. The staff are always available to help on the rare occasions there is a problem."

High Dalby House ★★★

"This hotel is by far the best hotel we've ever stayed in. The hosts are what made our stay particularly enjoyable, they are the nicest and friendliest people. The rooms are bespoke and in keeping with the style and period of the house with a few modern additions such as the bathrooms. All of which are spotlessly clean. I have to add the bed was extremely comfortable and better than the one I have at home! Breakfast was a real treat and cooked to our liking. We also got to sample Ian's home made granola which was out of this world! The setting is tranquil and peaceful . This is a hotel that will be a farm favourite to return to in years to come. I can't recommend it highly enough."
