The Old Dairy Reviews

Hazel Mills
9th August 2025
We booked this for our son's 50th birthday and he was very pleased with it. We all enjoyed the hot tub, and the good sized enclosed garden was ideal for the dog. It is in a very quiet rural location but Pickering is only a short drive away. The cottage had everything we needed for the week. There is plenty of storage in the kitchen so all the shopping for the week could be done in one go.
