Property Description

"A home of great comfort from which to discover England’s most beautiful and uncrowded county . . ."

For over 30 years, English Country Cottages has featured Hungate Cottages in its brochure.
A short stroll from the heart of this charming old country town, Hungate Cottages are tucked away with a delightful ‘secret garden’ atmosphere of peace and tranquillity. A wonderful holiday location, with the vast and magnificent North Yorkshire Moors on the doorstep, there is easy access to the beautiful east coast, the city of York and a whole host of fascinating places to visit. Outstanding comfort and style of these cottages, combined with a superb location, makes this an ideal all-year holiday destination.
Pickering is a delight - old fashioned friendliness and an unhurried pace of life combine with charming old inns, 12th-century castle, museums, and remarkable medieval frescoes in the local church, and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway takes visitors on a nostalgic journey through spectacular heather-clad moorland scenery to Grosmont.
Castle Howard, setting for TV’s Brideshead Revisited, Nunnington Hall (NT), Duncombe Park, and Rievaulx Abbey, are just a few treasures to discover. York offers the majestic minster, the fascinating Jorvik Viking Centre, the Castle Museum, the National Railway Museum, and excellent shopping facilities. On the east coast lie Scarborough and Bridlington, the picturesque fishing villages of Robin Hood’s Bay, and Staithes, and the fascinating old port of Whitby, with its Captain Cook connections. Closer to home visitors can enjoy free use of Pickering’s swimming-pool, just 3 minutes’ walk away, good cycling in Dalby Forest (bikes can be hired in Pickering), as well as forest walks, fishing, pony trekking and golf. Pickering’s shops 5 mins’ walk.
THE CHARACTER OF HUNGATE
The cottages have been converted with great flair by the owners, Mike and Sue Kitching, from the outbuildings of Hungate House. The delightful setting includes eight secluded gardens, courtyards and an orchard, as well as a safe, enclosed play area for children. Each cottage retains much character, with old stone arches, fireplaces and beams carefully retained. Immaculately maintained, warm, clean and superbly well-equipped, these cottages are truly a ‘home from home’. No wonder so many visitors return time and again. The owners provide plenty of helpful information on the huge choice of places to visit, as well as menus from the local restaurants.
Hungate is best summed up by a visitor who wrote, "There was nothing more we could have wished for in a holiday home. We loved the fire, the free logs and little touches such as fresh flowers – it felt like home. The children loved the freedom of the gardens and could not wait to get home from our excursions! We loved coming and going through the heavy black gate into an oasis in this nice town."

Sitting room with open stone fireplace. Corner dining area with chapel-bench seating. Modern fitted kitchen.

Customer Comments

Selected comment(s) from customers who have enjoyed staying at this property:
  1. This property was quiet, clean and extremely comfortable. It had the added advantage of being very close to the centre of Pickering. Pickering itself is well placed for a variety of visits, seaside, moors, quiet lanes, castles, abbeys and stately homes plus many other places for children. It makes a superb holiday centre. June 2012.
  2. I loved the large ensuite and the overall feel of the cottage- very cosy. We also deliberately chose a cottage that did not have a TV in every room. We want to get away from all of that and have family time to gether! The TV and DVD in the living room was a really good standard and all that we wanted. Garden around the cottage gave a very quiet feel. April 2011.
  3. Warm & welcoming with everything provided. Sept 2010.
  4. The location, very close to the town centre. The large gardens were extremely well laid out and maintained. The quality of our bungalow from the decor and cleanliness made it the best property we have ever rented. Would certainly recommend it and hope to return. June 2010.
  5. Standard of cleanliness was excellent. July 2009.
  6. Such a central location that there really was no need to drive anywhere, everything you need right there on your doorstep. There are of course plenty of places to drive to if you feel it necessary. Feb 2008.
  7. The best cottage we have stayed in. Ideally situated to visit places of interest. The standard of the cottage and staff was second to none. We will definitely return. Sept 2007.
  8. Probably the best cottage we have had and we have had some excellent ones in the past. Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived until we left. The location is brilliant, central to the town but still tranquil. It is cosy, well appointed and I cannot fault it. I would recommend this cottage highly. I am giving a friend the brochure this week and we hope to return again very soon. Nov 2008.
  9. Property exceeded our expectations. everything, down to smallest detail, thought of. fresh flowers on arrival, tea and coffee. able go into relax mode straight away! Bathroom (stand alone Victorian bath) was a great surprise and luxury. Aug 2007.
