No mobile phone signal which caused problems when we found the local Inn did not have the key to the property. Eventually managed to contact the owner who was very helpful using WiFi calling via the Inn's WiFi. Property as described except for no landline phone and the garage was not usable due to renovation materials stored there. We had been informed that one en-suite was unusable and received a 10% discount. The owner helpfully agreed for us to charge our EV from a 13 amp socket which avoided the hassle of driving miles to the very small number of fast chargers in N. Yorkshire. However, the payment process has still to be decided. Nevertheless we had a lovely holiday and enjoyed some beautiful dog walks with surprisingly good weather.

Excellent for a groups of friends that travel together

Great cottage with lots of capacity of group of 3 couples. Superb location with moors all around and yet only a few miles from Pickering. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Crown Gardens was an excellent choice of accommodation in an excellent location. The area is beautiful with many walks for dogs (and humans). Rosedale Abbey has a pub and restaurant (Coach House Inn) plus a shop and two tea rooms; not much but all you need. Pickering with far more amenities is only about 10 miles away and easy to drive to. The cottage was very comfortable and well appointed. The weather turned mid-week but we all remained cosy & warm. It was very nice to have an en-suite in every bedroom, no fighting over the bathroom. We ate three times at the Coach House Inn which observed all of the necessary Covid precautions. The food was very good and portions generous. I can recommend the Desperate Dan pie and the Scampi. Also dog friendly. We also ate at the Butchers Arms in nearby Lastingham, also good food and Covid safe, but not dog friendly. Beaches are not far away, Cayton Bay was especially nice for our dog as no seasonal restrictions on dog access. Robin Hood's Bay, Whitby etc all within easy reach (Robin Hood's Bay was very popular so parking an issue); plus the North Yorks scenery. We found that the TV reception virtually disappeared during wet and windy weather. Perhaps if visiting in autumn/winter have a laptop and a HDMI cable - ask the owner permission to plug into the TV or set box - and watch iPlayer or similar as the internet seemed unaffected by the weather. We were a bit worried about Covid but the owner had obviously done everything possible as we are all still OK over a week later; although between kitchen and range was dusty with a cobweb or two (not reassuring in a Covid clean environment). We would definitely stay again. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Excellent location, comfortable and well appointed property. We would recommend it to others and would use it again. The only challenge we encountered was with parking - its a large property so we had 2 cars and used the garage and drive, but space was limited and with walkers parking opposite the drive getting in and out was a challenge at times. That's not the fault of the property, but needs to be considered by anyone who might be hiring in future. Thanks to the owners who were very helpful. We had a great time.
