Cottage Lea’s Hotel.

So we booked up on Hotels.com on a good deal. We had never used this website before we were pleased how easy it was to book this hotel. Cottage Lea’s is place alone from any other buildings. At reception we was met and all was explained about the hotel facilities, our room was clean and well kept and comfortables. So with further to do we will be returning for another visit.

2 night stay

Fantastic hotel a couple of miles out of Pickering. Very friendly host and staff, I couldn't fault it, other than there was no draught ale due to supply problems. The food both at breakfast and dinner was excellent.

I was traveling to the area alone and had chosen to stay here. I was greeted by a very friendly lady who I later discovered was the owner. The room was very clean a pretty with everything you needed. That evening I had a drink in the bar and the owners were so friendly and welcoming offering any assistance I may need. The breakfast was delicious and while I didn’t eat a meal there the menu looked great and very varied. I would definitely stay there again if I am in the area.

Perfect for a relaxing stay with amazing food

We had an absolutely fabulous one night stay at the Cottage Lea's Country Hotel. The location is perfect - secluded and quiet, with beautiful scenery and delightful, well maintained gardens which had plenty of comfortable outdoor seating, as well as relaxing seating in the lounge area. Our room was spotlessly clean, cosy and comfortable - the bed made it difficult to get out of! Becky and Lottie were absolutely perfect hosts - friendly and helpful, and nothing was too much trouble. We booked dinner, and so glad we did - it was honestly one of the best meals we have ever eaten - from the black pudding stack and garlic creamy mushrooms (OMG!!!) to the crunchiest, butteriest crumble I've ever had in my life, made with apples from their own tree..... I would absolutely have no hesitation in recommending the hotel to anyone, and would highly recommend dining there too. Thank you so much!

We had a clean cosy room with a comfortable bed and pillows with Coffee, Tea and biscuits on a Tray in the room. The hotel is on farmland, the room was very quiet at night with an owl hooting early morning. The breakfasts were very good with cereals, juices, yoghurts and pastries to choose from, followed by a good cooked English breakfast. Becky was very helpful and made all guests feel welcome. Friendly family pets are often in the Bar.
