Guests commonly describe comfortable, often spacious rooms with good showers and thoughtful extras. Cleanliness is generally praised, though a few note limited kerb appeal, infrequent towel changes, or minor maintenance such as a noisy bathroom fan. On-site parking exists but spaces are limited, with busy street parking as backup. Expect a friendly, home-style B&B in a handy spot.

Our 2 night stay was excellent. Cawthorne House is a lovely building, full of character with traditional decor. We were made to feel welcome from the off and appreciated the extra touch of fizz and canapés and homemade cookies which Pascal provided. The owner is extremely personable - a Yorkshireman with a French name. We chose Pickering as a base to explore North Yorkshire on our motorcycle but we were disappointed to find the town had declined somewhat since our last visit, with many of the shops closed. Breakfast was a delight and certainly lived up to all the positive reviews. We were in room 4, a double at the rear and my only slight negative was the bathroom fan was noisy and stayed on for too long. On the plus side, it was very quiet and we were able to keep an eye on our motorcycle parked at the back of the building. Our experience overall was very pleasant indeed.

Obviously anywhere that makes their own sour dough bread, is the place to stay. Nothing was too much trouble for Pascale. Lovely welcome, great room, quiet and plenty of space. Good shower. Breakfast - apart from the Kelloggs offering- yuk…_is freshly made and a good selection. The location of Cawthorne House is brilliant, easy to walk into the centre. Nice walk to Thornton-le-Dale. Also has a car park round the back, so handy.

The owner, Pascal, provides a unique personal experience to your stay in his hotel. Excellent breakfasts are mixed with conversation, advice, and helpfulness for his guests. Accommodation is decent. We had the one ground floor room which was a reasonable size. The room was clean and room service was provided every third day. The hotel location was very good, being a short walk to the High Street and North Yorkshire Moors Railway. There are 3 parking spaces taken on a first come first served basis. If full, the alternative is to park in the road outside which is very busy.

Pascal, our host, was charming, warm and incredibly friendly and generous. We were welcomed with a glass of fizz, canapés and home made biscuits. Our king sized room was v comfortable and clean. Breakfast was superb: locally produced ingredients; sourdough bread baked by Pascal that morning; beautify cooked and presented full English breakfast. The best we’ve ever had. Nothing was too much trouble for Pascal. He engaged with us and others staying there, suggesting places in the area to visit. Pickering is a very friendly market town. Cawthorne House is central and walking distance to local amenities and places to eat. Would we return? Indeed we will. Next time I shall book in for a master class on sourdough bread making with Pascal. Thank you, Pascal.

Our room was spacious and the shower was excellent. Dare I say that the room would benefit from a refresh? A little tlc would elevate it to Boutique standard.

My partner and i chose Cawthorne House on the strength of the excellent reviews we read, and I'm pleased to say that we were not disappointed! From the helpful correspondence sent after we booked, to the warm and friendly welcome we received on arrival - including canapes and a glass of bubbly - Pascal made our short stay truly enjoyable. The house itself is situated in a lovely street with easy walking access to Pickering town centre, and the Yorkshire coast within a half hour drive. A lovely clean room with excellent facilities and a cooked breakfast that was second to none! Although we were only away for a few days, It felt like proper break thanks to the excellent service provided and we'd have no hesitation in choosing Cawthorne House when we plan our next Yorkshire trip. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We booked in Cawthorne House on the back of the reviews. And we were not disappointed Pascal is definitely the host with the most! A complimentary glass of fizz and canapes on arrival was a lovely touch. Especially after the long drive up. We had a walk into town for our evening meal, after reading some of the recommendations.. it's a nice easy walk with plenty of establishments to choose from. Breakfast was pre order and was absolutely delicious, we tried two different options on both days, the avocado on homemade sour dough was outstanding.. A lovely 2 day break.. icing on the cake was a ride on the Sir Nigel Gresley train..

We were made very welcome by our hosts. After settling in our room we were greeted with Sparkling Wine and canapes. We were advised about the area and restaurants for an evening meal. The owner even booked one of the locations to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Nothing was too much trouble for Paschal our host. Breakfasts were freshly cooked to a high standard with lovely presentation.

My partner and i chose Cawthorne House on the strength of the excellent reviews we read, and I'm pleased to say that we were not disappointed! From the helpful correspondence sent after we booked, to the warm and friendly welcome we received on arrival - including canapes and a glass of bubbly - Pascal made our short stay truly enjoyable. The house itself is situated in a lovely street with easy walking access to Pickering town centre, and the Yorkshire coast within a half hour drive. A lovely clean room with excellent facilities and a cooked breakfast that was second to none! Although we were only away for a few days, It felt like proper break thanks to the excellent service provided and we'd have no hesitation in choosing Cawthorne House when we plan our next Yorkshire trip. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We really enjoyed our stay. From the glass of fizz and homemade canapés on arrival, lovely big room, very comfortable bed right through to the delicious breakfasts. It's also good location - 5 mins walk from the North Yorks Moors Railway and the town centre. Would highly recommend

Pascal was a fabulous host who made us feel utterly at home. Breakfasts were excellent and Cawthorne House is just a 5-minute walk from the centre of Pickering which was perfect for exploring the town and for our evening meals. We will certainly stay again.

We booked in Cawthorne House on the back of the reviews. And we were not disappointed Pascal is definitely the host with the most! A complimentary glass of fizz and canapes on arrival was a lovely touch. Especially after the long drive up. We had a walk into town for our evening meal, after reading some of the recommendations.. it's a nice easy walk with plenty of establishments to choose from. Breakfast was pre order and was absolutely delicious, we tried two different options on both days, the avocado on homemade sour dough was outstanding.. A lovely 2 day break.. icing on the cake was a ride on the Sir Nigel Gresley train..

The already Excellent reviews are well deserved! Ideal for our stay in Pickering being close to the town centre and pubs/restaurants. The parking felt secure and convenient. Our room was well presented with breakfast having quality ingredients and cooked professionally.

Obviously anywhere that makes their own sour dough bread, is the place to stay. Nothing was too much trouble for Pascale. Lovely welcome, great room, quiet and plenty of space. Good shower. Breakfast - apart from the Kelloggs offering- yuk…_is freshly made and a good selection. The location of Cawthorne House is brilliant, easy to walk into the centre. Nice walk to Thornton-le-Dale. Also has a car park round the back, so handy.

The owner, Pascal, provides a unique personal experience to your stay in his hotel. Excellent breakfasts are mixed with conversation, advice, and helpfulness for his guests. Accommodation is decent. We had the one ground floor room which was a reasonable size. The room was clean and room service was provided every third day. The hotel location was very good, being a short walk to the High Street and North Yorkshire Moors Railway. There are 3 parking spaces taken on a first come first served basis. If full, the alternative is to park in the road outside which is very busy.

The breakfast was amazing, the scrambled eggs are something else, if you think you have had nice scrambled eggs just wait until you try these that Pascal makes using double cream. We stayed 2 nights and would 100% recommend.

Superb breakfast, friendly attentive manager. Slight problem with parking - only 3 spaces for 4 rooms! it would be easy to get blocked in. I parked outside the Indian restaurant on the second night, as someone wanted to get away next morning early.

Lovely welcome from Pascal, he made sure we knew where everything was and where to go in Pickering for an evening meal, we were then treated to homemade canapés and a glass of fizz! Room was comfortable and we slept well during our stay. We pre ordered our breakfast from a good choice of menu and there were also cereals, fruit, yogurt & juice on our table. Pascal also makes his own sourdough bread which was delicious. Would stay again and maybe book onto one of his sourdough courses!
