  What a wonderful place this is. Extremely comfortable and had everything we needed for a lovely relaxing weekend break. Very peaceful location and watching the stars from the hot tub at night was wonderful. Excellent location for visiting some great places to explore with our dog. The box of cakes on arrival was very much appreciated. We would definitely love to stay again. Thank you so much.

• "We had a lovely stay at The Sycamores - would definitely recommend this property."

  We would definitely stay here again. This has everything that we were looking for and more, the fact that we could also bring our small dog was great! The property is very well looked after, and spotlessly clean. The whole family really enjoyed their stay at The Sycamores, the beds were super comfortable, the facilities and amenities were great, and the added bonus of the hot tub was amazing! We couldn’t have wished for a better stay, we would definitely recommend booking The Sycamores and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

  The animals were amazing especially the horses which my daughter fell in love with. I can’t recommend this place enough, infact I have just booked to come back again twice next year. Thank you for an amazing family holiday. Claire

• "We had a wonderful stay here, the house was stunning, the owners were kind and it was so quiet and peaceful."

  My children (as did we all) loved the horses in the field along side the house and we thought it was wonderful to chill in the hot tub at night and relax quietly in the garden. Totally recommend. The only thing was my children were quite scared of the dogs (next door property) as they had very loud barks which made them a little scared to walk through the drive way. A little greet with them to start with to show they are softies would be recommended

• "We have just returned from a weeks stay at the sycamore’s."

  A family of 4 with youngest being 3 years old. The hosts were friendly and helpful, the property it’s large, comfortable and immaculately maintained with everything you might need for your stay. The garden is beautiful ideal for nights in the hot tub, or by the fire pit, or cards in the beautiful ridged gazebo (even when the weather isn’t great). Ideally located for exploring both the Yorkshire mores and dales. Situated on a beautiful small holding with the animals being very friendly and both children loved seeing the animals. I would highly recommend this letting whatever you might be looking for an active or relaxing break. With a large farm shop less the 6 minutes drive and a Tesco’s that you can click and collect from 15 minutes away. I would highly recommend booking here, thank you Tim and Carol for a lovely break !

  Fabulous, so pleased you all enjoyed your holiday. Xx Property Owner

  Clean on arrival with some lovely cakes, it’s the little things that makes this place so special, extra towels, shower gel, toilet rolls, hot tub & jacuzzi bath, also the meals they can provide which are excellent & at a very reasonable price.

• "When we arrived there was a smell of a cleaning product which was comforting until we discovered that it was not cleaning a cleaning product but cat urine which was very unpleasant as time went on which forced us tio leave early as my daughter and grand children were starting to feel ill with the smell."

  The oven was not working as it should ( 2 hours to heat a precooked lasagne ?) The hot tub lights did not work correctly making the steps up to the tub hard to negotiate. There was dog dirt or cat dirt in the lawns The owners offered us a small sum as compensation. or a free stay later but we could not accept due to family commitments. All in all it spoilt my wife's 70th birthday celebrations

  We are sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay in the cottage. The previous guests did bring a cat and of course the cottage was thoroughly cleaned before you arrived, However the cat must have 'left its mark' on a door mat which didn't become evident until half way through your stay and the heating was turned up. But as soon as you notified us we did remove it and cleanse that area. When you mentioned your issue with the oven, we did point out to you that you had it on the wrong setting for the dish you were cooking, and we put one of our catering ovens in the utility room for you to use. Our electrician has since assured us that the oven does work perfectly! We are wandering if perhaps you didn't turn the hot tub light switch on - theres an option of Fairy lights and/or the spot lights. The security light near it is situated so it goes on for the front door not the hot tub area. Despite this we hope your grand children enjoyed feeding the pet lambs and grooming the ponies. best wishes, Tim & Carole x Property Owner

• "We enjoyed our week at The Sycamores."

  Lovely quiet location but with a couple of good pubs for food nearby. (Cross Keys in Eppleby, Brownlow Arms in Caldwell, The Fox Hole at Piercebridge and The White Swan at Gilling West). The accommodation was very comfortable. Beds were probably the comfiest we have had away from home. There was plenty of space for two couples and the hot tub and garden were both lovely. Showers and jacuzzi bath worked perfectly. We enjoyed having a cuppa in the garden roundhouse. The cakes on arrival were a nice touch and the quiche we bought from the owners to take away on the last day was delicious. It’s worth bringing essentials like milk and bread with you as the little shop in the village was closed when we arrived on Good Friday and the A66 was very busy so we were unable to access another farm shop or supermarket on that day (it may well be easier when not a bank holiday though). Our favourite days out were Forbidden Corner and Middleham, Barnard Castle and the Bowes Museum plus Newby House Gardens for the dolls house enthusiast in our party (it is a nice place to visit anyway though).

All the facilities in the kitchen and bathrooms were top of the range and everything was included, even down to the little touches like soap dispensers and shower gel in the bathrooms. Dining in the summerhouse was amazing for a cool April evening, thanks to the built in heater. Everyone loved the hot tub and it was used every day. The local shop and pub's were amazing too, with no need to travel for miles to re-stock the fridge & get fed and watered in style at some amazing pubs.

  The food was exceptional value and of wonderful quality. The property itself, is well equipped, comfortable and spacious. My one reservation was, that the once beautiful garden, was unkempt and in need of TLC. If this is allowed to continue the property will loose its appeal, as the heated garden construction is a wonderful place for pre dinner, or in deed anytime drinks!! The garden surrounding this however does need attention. But guess what, we've booked The Sycamores again for next year!

• "This cottage is an absolute credit to its owners."

  Beautifully presented with everything you could possibly need for your stay. The cottage is presented to a very high standard with beautiful garden to enjoy with the added extra of a heated round house which is perfect for dining outdoors as a family/group.
