This summary has been generated using feedback from guests who have stayed at this property

Spire View is a well-regarded apartment with a fantastic location in Pickering, close to local shops, amenities, and the heritage steam railway. Guests appreciate the property's cleanliness, warmth, and the convenience of on-site parking. The view of the high street and church spire is frequently mentioned as a highlight. While some guests find the apartment comfortable and cosy, others suggest improvements in seating comfort and bed preferences. The apartment's facilities generally meet guests' needs, though there are recurring comments about the need for a more powerful shower and larger kitchen bin.

Cleanliness

The apartment is consistently described as clean and well-presented. However, a few guests noted areas where cleanliness could be improved, such as the bathroom and kitchen utensils. The majority of reviews, though, affirm the property's cleanliness.

Location

The location is highly praised for its centrality, proximity to shops, restaurants, and the steam railway. The convenience of having a parking space in such a central location is also appreciated, contributing to the high score.

Comfort

Comfort receives mixed reviews. While some guests found the apartment cosy and the beds comfortable, others expressed a preference for different seating options and bed arrangements. The recurring mention of uncomfortable armchairs and a preference for a sofa has slightly lowered the score.

Facilities

Facilities are adequate but several guests have pointed out issues with the shower's water pressure and temperature control, as well as the need for a larger kitchen bin and more cutlery. These recurring issues suggest room for improvement in the maintenance of facilities.

About this property

Situated in a lovely position, overlooking the cobbled main street in Pickering, is this first floor apartment, set above a gift shop. With the famous steam railway just a two minute walk away, it is just the ticket for couples wanting to explore this popular market town, known as the Gateway to the North York Moors National Park. Two flights of Internal stairs lead up to the apartment, which is cosy and comfortable, with a compact kitchen with dining area and a separate sitting room, with views over the town to the church spire beyond. With off road parking for one car in the courtyard at the back, guests can safely leave their car behind and hop on the train that puffs its way through the heather-clad moors to Grosmont and Whitby. All amenities are at your fingertips, with quaint tea rooms, coffee shops, pubs, restaurants and independent shops at your disposal. Pickering has much to offer visitors, with its castle ruins, museums, bike hire and trout fishing ponds. With spectacular scenery on the doorstep and a wealth of stately homes and gardens to visit, including Duncombe Park, Nunnington Hall and Castle Howard, there is plenty to keep you busy. Take a trip to the nearby market town of Helmsley, visit the castle and be sure to take the two mile walk along the valley to the beautiful Rievaulx Abbey. With the east coast seaside towns of Whitby and Scarborough within a half hour drive and the wonderful historic city of York an easy drive, you are well placed for an interesting and varied holiday.

This historic market town, with its full range of amenities and traditional shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, serves as the official gateway to the beautiful North York Moors National Park, home of the Heartbeat countryside. Enjoy a ride on the North Yorkshire Moors Steam Railway, where Harry Potter fans can even explore some of the locations used in the filming of The Philosophers Stone! The Beck Isle Museum is also well worth a visit, with its unique collection of black and white photography and displays of rural life.
