The location genuinely couldn’t be better — right in the heart of everything. The flat itself is quirky, charming, and has a lot of potential. Having a lovely tea room just downstairs is a real treat (and definitely dangerous for the waistline). The outdoor seating area is great too and was a nice bonus. However, the downside is that the apartment isn’t kept very clean. We’re usually not overly fussy, but there were cobwebs throughout, the shower wasn’t properly cleaned, and my pillow looked like someone had stepped on it with dirty boots. There were also crumbs left from previous guests. A few fixtures, like the handrails and clothing rail, are loose and feel like they’re about to come off the wall, so be careful with those. The property is managed by Host & Stay, who send an overwhelming number of emails and texts — many of them unnecessary and at all hours. There are definitely better‑maintained places to stay in Pickering. That said, if this apartment were brought up to a decent st

A very spacious air b&b, we particularly liked the dining space. We found the provisions of things such as bin bags were a bit frugal and the lack of parking was tricky for us with a baby and involved moving our car a lot due to the time restrictions on the on-street parking. If you're happy to be out all day then this might not be an issue for others.

If you’re a train buff you’ll love this property. Imagine waking up with a view of Pickering steam railway station then hopping across the road in delight after a coffee and treacle tart from Botham’s bakery immediately below. That’s what I did, and so should you. Everything required for a great weekend.

We had a lovely stay and overall were very pleased. Our only negative points were the fact that aside from the flat being very clean, sadly the shower edge was yellow with muck which I cleaned myself on arrival as we wouldn’t have wanted to shower in such a dirty edged tray. Also the bare essentials were very sparse, including an empty washing up liquid bottle and a tiny milk sachet. Seeing as the flat is over the top of a tea shop, it would have been a nice touch to have a pint of milk and maybe a packet of biscuits.. would cost the owners pennies but would have made such a nice welcome. We would definitely love to return and hope these small points would be considered to make the stay a full five star rating. Beautiful town and great location. Loved the layout and the patio area. Can highly recommend the Italian restaurant at the top of the town and the cakes from the shop downstairs were fabulous.. thanks again for a lovely stay.

Great location for trips to the beach and exploring the nearby villages. The Airbnb itself was modern, clean, and very well laid out, loved the roll-top bath! There were just a couple of minor issues during our stay, such as part of the oven not working and the toilet flush being a bit unreliable. We also would have appreciated a few more basic supplies, like a sponge, extra cloths, and additional toilet roll, as one roll for a 3–4 day stay may not be enough for all guests. Overall, we had a really nice stay, just a few small improvements would make it even better.

Beautiful flat above a lovely teashop. Only issue was parking which is free only at night but between the hours of 8am-6pm we had to park by the castle. This was ony an issue as it was uphill, a 10 min walk and my elderly husband found this a little difficult. The flat itself was nicer than in the photos with a great terrace outside. Easy access to the high street and local pubs and restaurants and there is also a Co-Op and Lidl 5 mins away which was very helpful to buy tea & milk etc

Lovely apartment within easy reach of the Moors, walking routes and local amenities. Parking was fine, a free street up the hill worked well for us. Cosy apartment which was warm and had majority of the things you’d need. Only thing I’d have liked was tea/ coffee, we only got 2 teabags left and 2 milk sachets. Usually with Airbnbs this isn’t something you have to bring with you but would stay again!

The perfect little Yorkshire getaway! Pickering is the cutest little town, and being above a tea room was lovely and cosy. This apartment was great... a warm bath was needed after hours outside at the markets. Underfloor heating was magnificent. Really close to the Moors and Whitby. Would come back in a heartbeat. The team is also very attentive and accommodating, it was a pleasure to stay here.

We have stayed in this lovely apartment before and remembered it being fantastic so decided to go pack. The apartment itself is fantastic, has everything you need, is really comfy and in an amazing location. However when we arrived it was late and we couldn't get the heating working and it was freezing inside. It turned out that the heating was operated downstairs in the tea rooms so will had to wait until morning to sort that out. I did message the host and they did respond but were unable to sort the problem. I had also really looked forward to a bath but sadly the hot water tap wouldn't turn and only cold water came out. The apartment was generally clean except the carpet at the top of the stairs had a lot of stains, it is a place where people have to walk so maybe light coloured carpet isnt the best choice. Also both the toilet and the shower had quite a lot of limescale which really should have been cleaned better. Apart from that we really enjoyed our stay.

The property was beautiful and renovated to a really high standard. It is located above a lovely tea rooms and is directly opposite to where the steam train pulls in. My Mum, 1 year old daughter and I had a really pleasant stay here. However, it could have been a little cleaner and the terrace definitely needs some tlc. The weeds were over a foot high! The shower tray closest to where you step in had an obvious orange layer of grime that I don't know how the cleaners have missed! There were also dark hairs on the seat cushions of the dining room and glasses and cutlery all needed a good wash. Bare in mind it is double yellow lines directly outside and the parking during the day opposite is only for 1 hour. We found plenty of residential streets to park on round the back though. I would definitely stay here again if visiting Pickering as I'm sure the cleaning issues will be noted and rectified after this review. 🙂

Perfect apartment , exactly as described with everything you could need for a short break away . We stayed for a week and appreciated the flexibility of a full kitchen and walkable distance to supermarkets and pubs and restaurants . Also probably the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in at an air bnb !

Sleeper's is an ideal home away from home situated right in the centre of Pickering. The house itself is above a lovely tearoom (Botham's), and the design inside is super modern and really clean. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area. Free parking can be found on the adjacent roads, a short walk away. We would most definitely stay here again!

Well what can I say about sleepers no8. I didn’t pay attention to the floor plan so was surprised (in a great way!) by the layout! It was so full of light and we loved that. It was so clean and bright and just a fabulous and comfortable space. The outside area is a gem and we were lucky enough to have week long sunshine. The rolltop bath is glorious and the bed was so comfy, I’ve not slept that well in ages. Love that you can hear the steam train too from open windows. The town of Pickering is just gorgeous and we loved the bookshop at the end of the street and the fact we could walk everywhere. Parking stressed me out the first day but I knew it was a concern from booking. It was purely first day “getting my bearings” and also unpacking but we parked at the castle the rest of the week without any bother and loved the walks up and down-so don’t let parking put you off. Dale was a great host and was very happy to help. Do not hesitate to stay here, you will not regret it!

Lovely place to stay. Unfortunately the parking was not as described in the listing and we had to source paid parking options when we arrived. Not so easy when you are from outside of the UK and unsure of the rules. Took away from our time to enjoy the location as the host was unaware of the alternatives available to us. However, it was a beautiful little apartment above an amazing little coffee shop 😍

A comfortable and clean first floor appartment in Pickering with a roof top patio. A good central position to visit surrounding areas and attractions. The Bakery below being an added advantage selling delicious bread, cakes and light meals; also right opposite the steam railway so you can pop across to see the trains. Highly recommended.

Great apartment and well placed for visiting various places around North Yorkshire. The steam railway is literally across the road and having a tea shop below was a little too convenient !!! The people were very friendly and if you like fish and chips you will be in heaven. A couple of things I would say is that on the Host and Stay website it states that there was is a dryer which there wasn't, (but would have been handy to dry our clothes after a downpour), and also free parking on site. This was a bit misleading. There is on street parking across the road which you can park all night (6pm to 8am), then its 1 hour after that with no return for 2 hours. We ended up parking up by the castle a little walk away, which wasn't an issue.

Accomodation itself was fantastic and location was great. Word of advice - to read the small print before booking. It is at my fault that I missed the details but it did surprise us as being unusual for an Airbnb booking. Accomodation is listed with free parking but this is only overnight and the car needs to be moved between day time hours. Also there are additional charges associated with insurance above the listed price of accomodation. This is not typical of an Airbnb and surprised me when we arrived we had not paid the insurance and subsequently had not received the address nor check-in location. Would book again, but recommend the listing is improved to make these facts more evident.

Really lovely couple of nights. Bed is really comfy and plenty of space in the apartment. Imagine the outside space is lovely in the summer. Easy to get out to the coast. Parking is a bit of a pain but had no issues just had to move it or be out before 9am and I ended up paying for long stay on my 2nd day and as others have said can really hear the tea rooms below, wasn’t an issue for me however. My only feedback is the check in and out times which are later/earlier than most air bnb’s I’ve stayed in. Would have loved not to have rushed around for 10am check out.

The apartment was in a central location and very nicely decorated. Communication from the host was excellent and responded promptly.The pictures are exactly what you find, however the apartment does seem slightly smaller. However, pans, cutlery and crockery were unclean and therefore we had to wash prior to using. Tea, coffee and sugar was provided and kept in jars unfortunately we found each to be stale and not fresh. I also would have expected for the cost to have perhaps some milk in a small welcome box as a gesture of goodwill. We also had an issue with the oven turning on by itself - through loose switches - and we did not realise until we smelt something burning during the evening which was worrying. We have advised the host to get this sorted as it could have caused a fire very easily.

Had a great stay, a great place to explore North Yorkshire. Property has everything you need and is well finished. Steam train to Whitby was worth it, Whitby a great fishing port. I would recommend Robin Hoods Bay, Helmsley and Thornton Le Dale. There is plenty of choice for places to eat in Pickering i would recommend booking the Italian. There is free on road parking up by the castle.

Wonderfully designed and tasteful accommodation, with an exceptionally comfortable bedroom and everything you really need really for a truly restful break. We loved the way the space was designed to allow for separation of the living room (equipped with an impressive fancy modern tv) from the expansive dining space, which also allowed access to an outside terrace garden. We also loved the way that Pickering is really well situated; to explore Hemsley to the East or Robin Hood's Bay to the West. Don't be put off by the fact that this property is found above a working tea-room, as this charming café can help supply you with delectable baking goods, fresh breads or indeed that essential chutney to accompany the Yorkshire cheese you know you shouldn't have bought but can't say no to... Anyhow. Great place. Book it if you get the chance!

Great location, parking outside restricted to 1hr but we managed to get a spot for unloading/loading the car. Otherwise you can park up by the castle without any restriction which is only a short walk away. Lovely bakery downstairs which we really recommend! Close to pubs, restaurants and supermarkets.

The apartment was very clean and we loved the style of the rooms. We were also lucky enough to be able to sit out and enjoy the patio area. There are also many shops, restaurants and takeaways within walking distance. Parking can be tricky but we managed to find a spot on the street outside on both nights (however you can only leave your car between 6pm and 8am). We had to move it to a nearby short-stay car park in the morning if we were not yet ready to leave. Overall we have loved our stay here and we will definitely be returning if we are ever in the area - thank you!

Really beautiful and comfortable property in the heart of Pickering. Really Comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen (coffee machine was great), Smart TV and a great base to explore Pickering itself. The listing advises on street parking is available, which it is, but you can only park up to an hour (2 hours no return) between 8am-6pm. We found alternative arrangements for parking away from the property for £5 a day (Pickering trout lake car park)

Absolutely beautiful apartment right in the centre of Pickering. The decor/ furnishings throughout looked great, nice size living room with tv, a big bathroom with a shower and a huge bath, well stocked kitchen with everything you needed plus a coffee machine, great dining space leading out to a terrace and gorgeous bedroom upstairs. We managed to park on the street just infront of the apartment for free for the whole weekend. Plenty of local pubs, a big co op, takeaways (we had a chinese which was lovely), shops, costa etc, just opposite the steam train station. Plenty of nice walks and a 30 min drive to Whitby. We had an absolutely fabulous weekend, the team were really responsive and we would recommend to anyone. The only bad thing was that it had to end! thanks so much, we can't wait to visit again.
