• "Likes. The stunning location,modern kitchen and bathroom,garden."

  Comfortable lounge with log burner. Dislikes. The hard uncomfortable single beds, No welcome pack, complete lack of information on the appliances or the area. Fire extinguisher expired in 2015. Cobwebs hanging from the beams in the kitchen. Huge text sent before visit. £30 fee for one dog. We enjoyed our stay here, with a bit of effort from the owner this could be a stunning cottage with rave reviews. If you are visiting bring everything.

• "Margaret's Cottage in Low Row is an attractive and well equipped house in a wonderful location overlooking Swaledale."

  The host was friendly, welcoming and helpful, pointing out a walk across the meadow to the path by the river and leaving some kitchen essentials to help prepare drinks and food when we first arrived. We loved our stay there.

  We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and all that beautiful Swaledale has to offer. Kind regards. Property Owner

• "The cottage is in a great location for exploring Swaledale."

  Carol the host was very friendly and informative. Although we couldn’t let our dog off the lead in the garden as it wasn’t enclosed and it was lambing season this didn’t matter as all the walks we picked around the area had plenty of open fields for our Cocker Spaniel to let of some steam. The bed was extremely comfortable and the cottage had everything needed to make our 7 day stay very enjoyable. Coming back to the cottage after full days walking and putting on the log burner was so homely but to wake up every morning to the beautiful view of Swaledale we really didn’t want our 7 day stay to end. We only had a drink in the local pub but the staff seamed friendly. The Dales Bike Centre just through Reeth do a lovely coffee and cake. We walked from Keld to Tan Hill and highly recommend the warm welcome and good food here. In a nutshell a great holiday.

  Thank you it was a pleasure to meet you , we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and your time in Swaledale. Property Owner

• "Highly recommended."

  Family of 4 and a dog stayed for a week in April. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed and was beautifully presented. Weather was changeable but the cottage was adaptable to all conditions, cosy fires or sitting on the patio in the sun, taking in the stunning views. Carol and family were a pleasure to meet, and made us feel so welcome. Friendly, helpful and not intrusive, exactly what we wanted. Perfect week for us. Thanks so much (And we got to see the lambs!)

  The only noise we ever heard at night was the tooting of an owl. Helpful and friendly owner lives next door. The Punch Bowl Inn, less than 5 minutes walk away, serves first class bar meals and is very well worth a visit; do book a table though as it is very popular.

  Thank you so much for your lovely comments . We are so lucky to enjoy our lovely setting in Swaledale and have a wonderful dining pub on our doorstep. We hope to welcome you again. Property Owner

• "We stayed during Christmas week and the cottage provided all we needed to for a super festive week."

  It was a real bonus having a full size fridge freezer. The kitchen provided all we needed to provide a home from home Christmas dinner - even champagne flutes. Having walks right out the front door and a very friendly pub that serves excellent food was also a big plus for us. It was perfect for the 2 of us and our Labrador. Our son & daughter in law came and stayed for a few nights and we all coped very well. We will definitely return later in the year to hopefully make use of the garden abd enjoy the spectacular views.

• "The cottage was lovely."

  The views from the garden exceptional. There was a problem with the water supply meaning that there was a high pitched, loud squealing noise whenever hot water was run (including when having a shower). This is an ongoing issue as we were informed on our 'key collection' message the day before arriving. Running a cold tap slowly elsewhere in the house at the same time sometimes reduced or eliminated the noise. Without this issue I'd definitely recommend the cottage. With it I would probably not which is really sad as the cottage and owners were lovely.

• "Cottage was great location, easy walk to pub & comfortable."

  Owner was very helpful & friendly. Beautiful garden & stunning views. Fabulous walking choices from the door. There were a couple of items that were not as clean as they should have been and the lounge had a very strong odour of dogs. However, overall we had a lovely holiday. Not impressed with Sykes management of my account and ignoring my many emails. I waited a year to recieve my refund & to get it eventually, I had to call & was left holding for 40 minutes. Therefore it is doubtful I will book with Sykes again.

• "We needed to change our booking but were not able to access the website that allowed is to change the week, or have phone contact which was extremely frustrating and stressful."

  However the cottage itself was beautiful and peaceful and the owner very friendly and more than helpful. Apart from the booking issue (which I can understand was mostly from the overwhelming difficulties due to Covid 19) we had a very enjoyable holiday.

• "We had a lovely holiday, the cottage was very well equipped , not to mention that the location was just superb."

  The owner was very friendly and always happy to help - our kids even got to feed the lambs ! The only thing that could have been made clearer was that the garden was open , therefore 'shared' with next door neighbours and dogs. While the patio set was nice, the table (coffee table style) wasn't really handy for us as we couldn't have breakfast or diner outside. We had a great weather that week so really would have love to eat out in the garden. This said, the cottage was well equipped and very clean.

  Great walks from the door to Reeth and Gunnerside. The garden lovely but is shared with the other properties so it was difficult to keep the dog from wandering. We were warned about the noisy water pipes but the screaming was annoying and frightened the dog. Overall a great place.

  ...when we arrived we weren't dissapointed the quirky cottage was perfect for what we needed...with a handy pub a walk up the drive. ..the owners were lovey and helpful with directions etc.....the most fabulous views from the double bedroom are second to none. ...it was just perfick.....the shower is noisy as another reviewer said, and the bathroom suffers from not having an outside window...but that is what you get from a cottage that wasn't built to house a bathroom in the 1700's..it didn't harm our holiday.....the fact that you can walk straight to the river from the house without having to go on the roads is wonderful, after a day sight seeing and walking the dales you can still take an evening walk down and along the river.second sykes cottage we have rented this year..and I'm sure we will be using your dog friendly cottages again.

  The owner has thought of everything with regards to equipping the cottage, there is everything you need at hand. There is a local pub within walking distance and the village of Reeth is a short drive away with a couple of very good walks starting and ending in the village. The added bonus of pubs serving food, open fires and dog friendly. I would like to thank the owner and her husband for making us feel welcome and for helping me out of a sticky situation with my car, they couldn't have been more helpful.
