Blinds rattle in the wind if you like your window open (and heating was a touch high for us)

Excellent cooked breakfast

What an absolute gem of a guest house, I am so glad I chose to stay at The Old Manse, I would definitely stay again and highly recommend it. The location is perfect, it’s a short walk to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway Station and Pickering town centre. The room we had was lovely, everything you want, even air freshener in the bathroom, which you rarely get. It looked over the garden, we had the window open and we were treated to an owl hooting and the dawn chorus. Val and her team couldn’t have been more lovely and welcoming. Lots of choice for breakfast from kippers to full English, all was delicious. A massive thumbs up from us and thank you for a comfortable relaxing weekend

Only one minor niggle is that the double bed was actually two singles put together so was uncomfortable sat/laid in the middle where the edge of each bed was. Other than that everything top notch.

Close to Pickering station to go on the NYM railway, close to Pickering castle although council haven’t put up any direction signs for the public yet, close to village, 10 mins away from Helmsley and Thornton Le Dale, 30 mins from Whitby. Lovely host and staff.

Only thing missing was a hook on the door for our coats (especially on rainy days)

The breakfast was wonderful, the bed was so comfortable I wanted to take it home with me, lovely secure parking only 5 min walk to NYMR and a nice chippy too, perfect hostess she couldn't do enough for us we will stay here again

The shower flow wasn't great and this would extend your time rinsing hair products out. Also had to run the shower a good while before the hot water came through at 7pm. The reduced water pressure may be a symptom of being on the top floor and so close to the water tanks? Reported a few things that needed attention and the owners were happy to fix it. I guess that for disabled people, accessibility may be an issue in this old traditional house due to the stairs.

The location and parking were excellent - the NYMR Pickering Station is just 5 minutes walk away. The breakfast was served in the conservatory and was virtuously faithful to the positive reviews (enormous tea pots a hit). The rooms were spacious and clean - they'd actually been redecorated just weeks before our stay. Staff all friendly and knowledgeable. An experience at a good price. It's just how a small hotel should be run.

Valerie couldn't have done anymore for us, shortly after booking, and knowing we had two flights of stairs to our room, I asked if it was possible to have a ground floor room we got a reply to say unfortunately no. On arrival however, we found that thankfully she had managed to come up with one, thanks to a young student allowed us to use his room after cleaning etc. We will always be gtateful as two flights of stairs by crutches would probably been nigh on unattainable for a near 80 year old with a ruptured Achilles. Thank you so much Valerie, hope to see you again in better circumstances

The room was only accessible from outside the property, which was not ideal when it rained and the door had swollen with the damp, so it was difficult to open and close. There were not enough electrical sockets in easily accessible places. Obviously, in an older property like this one, it is not so easy to remedy this. Neither of these issues caused us any real problems.

We were well looked after from start to finish. Everyone there was polite, friendly and attentive. They were eager to ensure that we had the best time possible. The room was all that was needed and the food was excellent.

Lovely spacious rooms with a roaring fire in the communal lounge - we enjoyed a game of “who want to be a millionaire” late into the evening. Valerie is a very welcoming host. Lovely breakfast.

Scaffolding for renovation works hid the guest house and it took me some minutes to find it in the dark!

Friendly welcome, lovely surroundings, tasty breakfast. Nice, hot coffee!

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They gave us tea and biscuits in the lounge and made a fire for us. The bed was huge and very comfortable and everywhere was very clean. Breakfast was ordered the previous evening from a wide selection and served at your table.
