A Welcome from the owners
who we are
We are the family behind this little piece of Pickering history, and we feel incredibly fortunate to care for such a special old cottage. Although we now live and work in Switzerland, North Yorkshire will always be home too. That’s where the name The Swiss Cottage comes from — a small connection between the two places we love most.
This is our family home, filled with happy memories and somewhere we always look forward to returning to. Rather than leave it empty when we’re away, we are delighted to share it with others who appreciate the character, history and charm of Pickering and the surrounding countryside.
We hope you’ll feel at home here as much as we do; whether you’re exploring the North York Moors, enjoying the town’s independent shops and cafés, or simply relaxing in the cottage after a day out.
Thank you for choosing to stay with us. We hope The Swiss Cottage brings you as much joy as it brings our family.
Enjoy, relax, and breathe.
With warmest wishes,
Carole & Family
