We had a wonderful reception from the owner. Assisted us throughout our stay. It was lovely to open up the window and enjoy the cooling breeze after other stuffy rooms. Breakfast was a delight. Great experience and highly recommended.

Brilliant stay. Hostess very friendly and breakfast was one of the best I've had. Nice place and very homely. Great location if you want to see the surrounding area. Pickering itself was limited if you wanted evening meals and not just pub food but we found an Indian restaurant within a 2 minute walk from the hotel which was recommend.

Not for us!
We were disappointed with the hotel. Were given attic room up four lots of stairs. Decor very dated and mismatched. Room cold even though electric radiator provided. En suite shower very small with no heating. Bed quite firm which we found uncomfortable. On plus side bed linen very clean as were towels. Breakfast was nice and well presented although again room was cold. In fact whole building was quite cold as certainly not many radiators. We actually cut our visit short and only stayed for one night instead of the two we had planned.

We feel like we've discovered something of a little treasure. Crossways b&b is lovely. Our room was spacious with a such a comfortable bed. It had lovely extra touches like a little jar of biscuits with the tea & coffee making facilities, a little bowl of sweets & a sewing kit. An amazing choice for breakfast with different food allergies catered for. We received such a warm friendly welcome & will certainly stay there again.

Crossways Pickering centre of a great world.
Crossways was a unique experience of life in a hotel in a bygone era,where time stood still,everything was prim and proper and every thing was just perfect. Paulines hotel decor reflects her love of her life and time spent in years of world wide hotel management, and it shows in her wonderful down to earth attitude,her amazing breakfasts, and professionalism with a hint of humour for her guests. Great location in the middle of Pickering and ideal for visits to Whitby, Scarborough,Bridlington etc. Fantastic steam train ride on your door step. Excellent large free car park at rear of the property and gateway through garden to hotel. Nothing was too much trouble to please guests. My wife and I enjoyed every moment of our 4 night stay. You will want to go back again.

Traditional family owned, friendly and welcoming. Left to do what we wanted. Key to main entry at rear provided. Great price. Great location. Good welcoming tray with chocolate biscuits. Little extras like shampoo/shower gel. En suite with fresh clean towels. Nice to see bedding being dried on washing line on arrival.Needles/cotton and pins. Good choice at breakfast all freshly made with good ingredients.spacious room with a very comfortable double bed and 2 pillows. Lots of shops and takeaways on the doorstep.
Things we didnt like were heavy trafic starting from around 5am. Bath with shower attatched to taps no fixing to wall and no covering on bathroom window i.e blind as its quite a large bathroom window in room 11 if you stand up in the bath, if anyone were to glance up from the busy roads they would get an eyeful. Put us off using the bath or shower. Tv wasnt working, i did forget to mention this to the owners as we were leaving. Little problem at breakfast but was dealt with promptly. Little bit cold in the large room but as we arrived back late we didnt want to wake anyone up to ask for the heating to be turned on. Slight smell of damp in bedroom area.

A lovely three storey house with vintage style and a fish pond in the garden.
The house is run by a mature couple providing a beautifully cooked breakfast who are full of local information

Would stay again
We loved our 4 night stay at The Crossways. Good location for walking around Pickering or driving to the North York Moors or York and free parking on site. On arrival we were offered a cup of tea and biscuits in the sitting room. Our room was spacious, comfortable and clean with choice of hot drinks and biscuits. Great selection of toiletries and dressing gowns provided. Pity it rained as it would have been nice to sit out in the garden.
We had mentioned we were vegan on booking and were given a great choice of vegan breakfast. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area
