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.

Can highly recommend Cottage Lea's Country Hotel

We really enjoyed our weekend. We received a warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble for this family run hotel. We ate in their restaurant on both evenings the food was excellent and good value for money. Fantastic choice of breakfast options and wonderful service. The room was clean cosy and comfortable and we had the best nights sleep. Lovely surroundings and view from our room. It was my husbands birthdays and they made it really special with a birthday balloon, banner and card. Can highly recommend Cottage Leas Hotel.

We stayed one night at Leas Cottage which was a pleasant surprise not know what to expect. The staff warm and welcoming and the ambience in the bar/lounge area cosy and Luke home from home. Good home cooked food and breakfast. We had smaller size bedroom it was clean warm with all facilities. We would stay again.
