• "Tge property was a stunning cottage set in beautiful surroundings."

  Homely and well set out and a beautiful log burner made our stay perfect. The owner greeted us on arrival and a couple of times during our stay popped by, just to make sure that we had everything we needed. Attention to detail was amazing. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again

• "An absolute gem of a cottage in a picturesque village with a fantastic pub 2 minutes down the road serving great beer and fabulous food."

  The cottage itself was warm and very well equipped with beams throughout a lovely stone floor in the living area. The kitchen has all mod cons and we cooked and ate in several times. Tea towels, washing up liquid, hand wash, dishwasher tablets and dishcloths were all provided. The spacious bedrooms are carpeted and have high vaulted beamed ceilings. The beds are extremely comfortable and had nice quality bedding so we all slept really well. Great shower with plenty of hot water but if you need more you can control that and the heating yourself. We didn’t need to as there was more than enough for the four of us. The en-suite bedroom has a toilet, sink and bath with a shower attachment too. The owner lives next door and was very welcoming and friendly. We arrived to find a delicious Yorkshire Brack, organic whole milk and eggs waiting for us which was a lovely touch. You can sit outside a have breakfast in the lovely little dog friendly enclosed garden which overlooks fields if the weather is warm enough. You can buy eggs, milk and logs for the wood burner in the village. The nearest shops are 2 1/2 miles away in Kirbymoorside which we walked to on footpaths. There’s a large Co-op and a smaller Spar if needed as well as smaller independent shops and cafes. There are some great walks right from the doorstep with Hutton-le-Hole easily reachable across the moors. We also visited Scarborough, Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby which are under an hour by car. The whole area is stunningly beautiful and very dog friendly with most pubs, cafes and shops welcoming you in. We wouldn’t hesitate to return.

  Thank you so much for your detailed review, which will I'm sure be very helpful to future guests. I am so pleased That the Henhouse suited your needs and that you enjoyed your holiday. Hopefully I might see you again in the future. Property Owner

• "An absolute gem in a delightful village location."

  The cottage had everything we needed for a lovely holiday. Well equipped, loved the cake, milk and eggs, thank you Rosemary. Good access to beautiful North Yorkshire Moors and the coast, loved Filey. Good walks from the doorstep, so quiet and the 'view' was a real feast for the eyes. Would love to go back...

  A dog-friendly garden overlooking grazing sheep just adds to the mix. I’d live there forever if I could.

  We really enjoyed our stay at Hen House, comfortable and well equipped. The fresh organic milk and eggs from the farm in the village were super. The Ryedale Folk Museum and theYorkshire Lavender Farm are well worth visiting. Helmsley was very interesting but very busy. We found local footpaths for dog walking and enjoyed the scenery and wildlife. In all a relaxing week. We will be happy to book again in the future.

• "A television in the bedroom."

  The log burner had an issue which was raised with the owner, The toilet seats needs attaching more securely, they slipping sideways.

  Thank you for your comments. I can only apologise for the problem that you had with the log burner, I can only think that it was because it hadn't been lit since it had been swept because when I lit it again after you left, there were no problems with it. I'm sorry that you had a problem with the toilet seat, I found during the changeover that the hinge was actually broken and the whole seat needed replacing, if you had mentioned it during your stay, I would have sorted it for you.

  Set up as a home away from home - everything needed including a lovely, fully enclosed & private garden for the dog. Countryside views, parking for two cars in the drive, many walks from the house, as well as further afield, and pub a 5 minute stroll. Centrally located for exploring N Y moors & Dales, coast, Howardian hills etc. Will book again!

  The cottage is clean, comfortable and has everything that we needed for relaxing week away. Henhouse is just beautiful. The garden has lovely views of the countryside and is secure for dogs. The Royal Oak pub in the village is very welcoming too and the food is very tasty. This was our second visit to Henhouse Cottage and definitely won’t be our last. The only downside to this cottage is having to leave at the end of our stay.

• "The property was lovely, clean and had everything you needed to make your stay comfortable."

  They left games, umbrellas, torches, all stuff we’d forgot and used, little things that made a difference. Wet room shower was fantastic, the property was warm and having an en-suite bedroom also was a great bonus, as we took my mum with us. It’s also in a beautiful location with a great pub/food a two minute walk away. My only negative, and this isn’t about Hen cottage, it’s a Sykes thing, is the 10am check out, my elderly mum struggles early in a morning, so we ended up going home the the afternoon before, We have left both cottages we’ve stayed at absolutely spotless, and feel an extra hour at least would be beneficial. Would highly recommend the Hen cottage though, and would happily stay there again.

  Thank you so much for your kind review, I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and found the cottage comfortable. I am sorry that you found the 10 am departure too early, if you were to come again, I would be happy to negotiate a slightly later departure for you. Property Owner

• "A lovely cottage situated in a quiet village."

  The garden has a patio with chairs and table and looks over rolling fields. It is like the Tardis - does not look large from the outside but very spacious inside with all rooms having plenty of space. Rosemary, the owner, had left local organic milk and eggs as well as cake as a welcome and lives next door in case of any problems, but we had none. She popped round on our 2nd day to welcome us and gave recommendations for places to visit and eateries, which are also given in the welcome letter. The property was nicely presented and clean, comfortable beds and chairs and the shower in the wet room was excellent. In all a lovely and quirky property and we would recommend it as a great place to stay to explore the area. There are washing and bedding facilities for 4 legged friends, but not required by us, as we have no pets. Thank you for a lovely stay, despite the weather not behaving itself towards the end of our week.

  The welcome was lovely with a cake and milk from the local farm. There was a wealth of info on local walks many of which we tried out. The cottage was so warm especially when we put the log burner on and was a real treat when it started snowing. The cottage is in a fantastic location for walking and getting out in the moors but also made for such a peaceful stay. HenHouse cottage is a perfect place to stay for walkers and felt like a real home from home. Rosemary was lovely and very helpful with her communication and advice on the area.

• "This was our second visit in 12 months."

  The weather was pretty cold and walking in the countryside was limited by wet conditions. The Hen house was lovely and warm with excellent facilities I have only one minor criticism the shower room is somewhat basic by modern standards. It is a great cottage for dogs with a lovely secluded and safe back garden. The owner Rosemary is unobtrusive but very helpful if called upon next door . We are disappointed that the local pub does not allow dogs in the bar area which is a very convivial area with a lovely fire burning. There is a special room for dogs and one can eat in there but it does feel like dog owners are not wholly welcome. It comes as a surprise that a country pub is not more dog friendly.

  Thank you for your kind review, it was lovely to see you again. I take on board your comments regarding the shower room, an upgrade is planned for later in the year. I will pass on your comments regarding the pub although this becomes less of an issue in the summer months, when people prefer to sit outside. Property Owner

  Well equipped and brilliant for our puppy. We have already rebooked. Gillamoor is a small village in a great location for travelling around the moors. The pub is two mins, (if that), from cottage Which serves lovely food.

• "Lovely cottage in a gorgeous village."

  Enjoyed the walks with our dog, great detailed information left in the cottage was a good help. Local pub was very welcoming, food good too! Really enjoyed our stay at Henhouse, peace and quiet, great place to relax and chill. Kirkbymoorside had a good butchers, bakery etc. Would certainly visit the area again - stunning scenery.

• "Cottage was well appointed, clean and comfortable throughout."

  Extremely well equiped and situated within reach of excellent walking country/attractions. Everything was on 1 level, for ease of mobility, with 2 bathrooms/wetroom. Rooms were of a very good size. Pretty garden with country views and ample parking. Plenty of information regarding appliances and local area. Well stocked with rainy weather options - books, games, etc. Local farmshops and markets provide a variety of artisan produce.

• "The village of Gillamoor is very pretty and peaceful."

  There is a local pub which allows dogs in too. There is a working farm close to the cottage but it doesn’t disturb you when staying in the cottage but you can hear the animals from time to time. The cottage is gorgeous, the French doors at the end of sitting room open out to a pretty cottage garden and a paddock beyond. The furniture is very comfortable and the cottage is very clean and well equipped. There are good walks from the cottage and both kirkbymoorside and Helmsley are within easy driving distance. On arrival at the cottage there were a few lovely treats left by Rosemary the owner and even some bits for the dog I loved my week in Hen House Cottage and would recommend it to anyone who wants a relaxing holiday. It’s a real gem

  A beautiful, fully enclosed garden , off road parking and a village setting made being outside a pleasure . The bedrooms were large , light , well furnished with comfy beds and an en suite bathroom as well as a family shower room . We would highly recommend this lovely cottage and certainly intend to return .

• "Rosemary made us most welcome."

  Lovely extras, cake, milk and eggs. Also treats and a ball/bowls and towels for the dogs. Lovely little enclosed garden. Lots of birds on the feeders. Log burner was fabulous too. Local pub very expensive, £4.95 for a standard sized glass of pinot. Robbery without violence. Only downside which is no reflection on this perfect hideaway. We will be booking again.x

  It was meticulously clean and had all all the facilities we required. Set in beautiful countryside and with the added bonus of a great pub just a 2 minute walk away. It is now on our list of places to stay, again.

• "Gillamoor is a great village for a quiet get-away with some spectacular views and good opportunities for walking right from the cottage door."

  It's also well located for reaching all the major areas of North Yorks, including the Moors. Hen House Cottage is well laid out and very dog-friendly with the stone floors and open plan living area. The garden is great too. Overall we had a fantastic week and would go back there again.

• "Very relaxing quiet traditional style cottage and village."

  Royal Oak pub in village ok for food and drinks and friendly locals who sell apples, eggs and vegetables for a small donation to the church. Good for dog walking, horse riding and country sports. Easy access to the east coast from the village but don't expect to get anywhere quickly. The major supermarkets deliver to the village but there are several supermarkets and farm shops within a few miles. The cottage itself lends itself to self catering, plenty of utensils, crockery, cutlery, glasses, dishes, pans and gadgets etc. The owners are friendly and helpful and provided some Yorkshire Brack, Milk and eggs and a good welcome. The only criticism I have and it is on a personal level, I do not like the dark floor tiles in the wet room. Other than that the cottage is home from home.
