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.
