We stayed in Castle Cottage, Castlegate, Pickering. Again.
There are two reasons. The first reason is that getting OH to go anywhere on holiday can be a challenge. Now he has found somewhere he likes we are going back again and again and again. He likes it, and to be honest, so do I - it is a lovely base to go out or stay 'home'.
The second reason we are going there twice a year since little bear was in a travel cot is because it is lovely. It is definitely a step up from our place, with a dishwasher and dishes from M&S. It is a stone built cottage with an open fire. It doesn't matter what the temperature - we have a fire every night. As I have said before, it is only a few yards from the castle, near the market town's centre and just perfect (well, we can't get a signal for OH to get on the internet and one of us always ends up sleeping on the sofa, but apart from that, perfect)
I am a little embarrassed about how I left the cottage. I managed to have a brief wipe round the bathroom, washed up and swiped briefly. However I do feel I was at a disadvantage. Little bear woke up at six am - as per usual. And I was frantically trying to keep him quiet as the other two men needed their sleep. OH was driving and needed to be rested. Darling father had a hangover the size of Birkenhead, or if he didn't he ought to. Then I had to pack and clean between them coming downstairs and the check out time of 10am. I think I remembered to empty the fridge, but I am ashamed that I didn't get to clean the hearth. Especially as it had seen such service.
