"Good to see the old rug was still in front of the fire, with its strange stains and burn marks."

It was like coming back to an old friend. Everything was fine and a glorious location, due to the weather managed different walks each day from the cottage.

"The lightbulb over the sink still needs replacing."

No spares were in the cottage. Also no replacement bin bags and the kitchen bin is miniscule. As people have already noted the carpets downstairs in particular could do with a good clean or replacing. Many items are tired. We had to thoroughly clean the teaspoons (and washed all cutlery as a result) as they were very teastained, as were the tea mugs - we felt like everything needed a good clean as a result of finding dirty items. There were no instructions for waste/recycling in the cottage and no local area visitor leaflets other than some walks. We located some recycling boxes in the laundry room but these were overflowing so we could not use them. Our neighbours staying in the farmhouse called either Sykes or owners to ask if they should put the dustbin out on bin day as it was full and could not be added to. Heating controls are in the laundry but there are no instructions regarding this. We only found out as neighbours in big cottage phoned Sykes as towels weren't drying etc without heating. Unsure if the owners are unable to keep up with it all or just not interested in the comfort of their guests. Which is a shame as the properties on the whole are in a lovely location and could be very comfortable and inviting with a little more care. We had a pleasant stay but it could have been better. Not the standards we expect from a Sykes property.

"The shower flooded."

this was because the drain was completely blocked with hair so the water wasn't draining. we cleaned it out so we could use the shower - not a good way to start our break! the light bulb over the sink needs changing. it was very dark to wash up. the carpets + mat at the door could do with a clean (I know that's difficult with muddy shoes etc) We did actually have a lovely stay - quiet, peaceful and lots of walks nearby.

"The downstairs area could be smartened up and some items replaced ."

Also we saw no photographs of the interior at all before our arrival but ok with it when we settled in. It would not take much cost or effort to make this cottage cosy and a lovely stay.

This collection of farmhouse cottages enjoys the blend of the fresh countryside setting and all the home comforts you could need for a soothing break with your loved ones.

A farm shop rests nearby for stocking up on the essentials to cook up back at the cottages for a group evening meal, while the Royal Oak Inn, just a short drive or longer stroll provides somewhere to eat out and stop for refreshments during walks in the countryside. A popular walk in this scenic area is the Farndale Daffodil Walk, perfect in the springtime but full of natural beauty, all year round. More natural beauty within easy reach by car includes Hole of Horcum, a rural valley, naturally composed in such a way it becomes an amphitheatre from nothing but luscious green countryside. If you are travelling with children and looking for a day of thrills, Flamingo Land Resort is reachable by car, whereas if you’re looking for a day in the city, be sure to visit the city of York, known for its impressive walls and Minster.

About the location

FADMOOR

Kirkbymoorside 2.5 miles; Pickering 10 miles; Helmsley 9 miles.

The pretty village of Fadmoor, dotted with old stone cottages, nestles amidst the beautiful countryside of the North York Moors National Park, 2.5 miles from the attractive market town of Kirkbymoorside. Kirkbymoorside is a charming place with a slightly 'old fashioned feel', and visitors will find plenty to keep them occupied in the many tea rooms, pubs and restaurants there. There is even an 18 hole course for golf enthusiasts. The excellent walking and magnificent scenery of the National Park are on the doorstep, and there are many picturesque villages, such as Hutton-le-Hole, close by. Pickering, the base of the North York Moors Steam Railway, is a must for all visitors, or why not enjoy the area’s museums, castles, trout fishing and local market towns. In addition, both the city of York and the resorts of the East Coast are within easy driving distance.
