"We loved this property and its location, the owner is just lovely and will do anything to help."
We had some issues with the wifi, as one option wouldn’t connect and the other was intermittent throughout the property - not that it really bothered us! We really enjoyed our stay, thank you
-
"There was a problem with a wasps nest and we spent the whole week disposing of dead ones."
The smaller bedroom with the wet room needed attention. The wet room needed a deep clean. There was nowhere in the wet room to hang 2 wet bath towels. There was no mirror in the bedroom.
-
"The Cartshed is a beautiful property, spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable."
It is maintained to a high standard and is situated in a beautiful countryside setting which gave us the peaceful, relaxing time we were looking for. The owner welcomed us on arrival and the sweet treats and bottle of wine that were also waiting for us were much appreciated. We would certainly stay again.
-
"We had a great stay at this wonderful place."
Perfect for a family of four.
-
"We all enjoyed our week at Gillings West."
The property was lovely, and Ann and Will were great hosts. Thank you.
-
"Great property, ideal for sharing but gives that distance with the bedrooms either side of the main living area property."
Lovely biscuits and a bottle of plonk on arrival.
-
"This was an absolute fabulous place to stay."
The Cartshed had everything we needed plus it was beautifully designed- just like the "Country Living"magazine style. Warm and spotlessly clean with little extra touches. Ann made us very we;come. It was great to see the Belted Galloway calves. A good location near Richmond on a working farm. Good local places to eat. We will be recommending it to all our friends.
-
"Beautiful property, warm and cosy."
Really appreciated the home made cakes , wine etc when we arrived. Just wish we had stayed longer.
-
"Lovely well equipped holiday cottage."
Great for our mobility needs. The wet room was perfect. The owners left us flowers, cake and wine which we thought a very kind gesture. We also had tea, coffee, milk and sugar. The directions were spot on. It is a very scenic, peaceful spot and not difficult to get too from major roads. Definitely recommend.
-
"We were more than happy with this beautiful barn conversion and would definitely go back"
-
"We had a wonderful stay here over the half term with attentive and generous hosts."
It was gorgeously warm throughout and very tastefully decorated. The only thing missing was a slouchy sofa my husband said.
-
"Outstanding property in a beautiful location."
There was everything there that we needed, plus some extra treats on arrival too! This property really does have the wow factor when you walk through the door. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.
-
"What a wonderful place to stay!"
We had a lovely time in the comfortable surroundings. The beds were perfect and both bathrooms were luxurious. It was warm and cosy with tasty treats on our arrival. A perfect place for relaxing.
-
"Cartshead Cottage is a lovely place to stay its well equipped with everything you could need."
It’s on a farm but nice and quite being out in the beautiful countryside , not to far to drive to places. Ann & William are the lovely owners, were very helpful should you need to know anything . We would definitely recommend this cottage and would stay here again.
-
"Even though we only stayed for two nights, we had a very comfortable and relaxing time and would recommend the property to anyone wishing to visit Richmond and the rest of North Yorkshire."

"We couldn’t have chosen a better property, a well appointed, cosy cottage, with lots of room for the three of us and for more, had we needed it."
There were clear instructions about access and shortly after arrival were welcomed by Anne, who had provided us with gifts of wine, cakes, flowers and basic pantry items. A very kind gesture. The farm overlooked beautiful countryside, a 5 minute drive from bustling Richmond and a good centre from which to tour the quiet country roads and Yorkshire tourist sites. A perfect spot both for relaxation and adventure! We would love to return.
-
"One of the best stays we have had if not the best !"
! Have recommended to friends
-
"This was the second time we have stayed at the Catshed."
We love the beautiful location with plenty of places to explore and visit nearby. Our kids love being on the farm and seeing the animals. There were some treats on our arrival - sweet, wine and coffee - which were much appreciated! We will definitely book again.
-
"We love this holiday let, and had a great break ."
The only "fly in the ointment " which troubled us was Sykes' statement that " Guests - you are not permitted to invite guests back to the property". Last time we invited close friends to spend a night with us in the Cartshed , and they loved it too!. Is this a legacy of Covid restrictions ?. Next time we will name potential guests if that is what is required , because the price doesn't drop because of under-occupancy .
-
"A beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting."
The bedrooms were ideal large spaces and the layout was considered and useful. The owners are lovely people, helpful and friendly. Being close to the farm was a bonus for us. It is a quiet and peaceful setting within easy reach of some lovely towns and villages with scenic views and great walking. Highly recommended.
-
"Ann and William were very friendly and helpful hosts."
Beautiful cakes on arrival! We had a lovely weekend stay and would love to go back again.
-
"This was the most lovely stay, thank you."
This property has jumped straight to the top of our favorites list. Beautiful spacious property and friendly owners - but the stars of the show were the newborn calves.
-
"Fabulous week away."
Really comfortable cottage. Lovely goodies supplied by the owner and everything provided for you i.e. dishwasher tablets etc. Would really recommend this cottage in beautiful surroundings
-
"A lovely cottage in the beautiful area of yorkshire."
Very comfortable and cosy.Would recommend.
-
"Very nice property, ideal for 4 guests even though in this instance we were just a couple."
Beautiful location ideally located for Dales, North Pennines AONB and Teesside towns. (The irony of a rural holiday is that we couldn't get internet in the cottage, as there was a local mast issue, and as business owners we still needed to be available to our teams, so big plus for the local farm shop, Mainsgill Farm Shop for great pies, coffee and wifi).
-
"Lovely spacious clean and comfy."
Pretty location we had a very enjoyable stay would thoroughly recommend
-
"Our stay at the cart shed was wonderful the property was a delight and the ..."
Our stay at the cart shed was wonderful the property was a delight and the owners Ann as William went above and beyond to make us welcome the flowers home made cakes and wine were such a delightful extra will definitely both recommend Sudbury farm properties to others and endeavour to revisit myself many thanks for a delightful peaceful weeks break x x x
-
"Perfect cottage in perfect setting."
Would highly recommend. My wife spent most of the week in the lovely deep bath, will definitely come back.
-
"Sorry for the delayed feedback, it's been a busy 6 months!"
Was a beautiful place in a beautiful location. One very minor thing was the dining table was quite sticky so I kept cleaning it and polishing it which eventually got rid of some of the 'stickiness'. I'm sure it was clean though. Very comfortable beds and seating.
-
"An extremely pleasant holiday home situated within the Yorkshire Dales with easy access to places of interest."
The Cartshed is comfortable and well furnished and it was very pleasant to find flowers, cake, milk and a bottle of wine on arrival. Also it was a novelty to find a television in every room!
-
"We have no complaints about The Cartshed."
It was one of the best places we have stayed, very comfortable and had everything we needed. The owner, Ann, was lovely, very welcoming and and went over and above to ensure everything was perfect for us. The welcome gifts were amazing, homemade cakes, beautiful flowers and a bottle of red wine! We enjoyed every minute of our stay here and would definitely recommend.
-
"Beautiful cottage in an idyllic location."
Probably the best Sykes cottage we’ve ever stayed in. The hosts were extremely friendly and it was a wonderful week away.
-
"The cottage was beautiful, well furnished and comfortable and the owners were extremely friendly and accommodating but not intrusive in any way."
You were free to explore the small farm and garden and there was excellent car parking and a sunny spot to sit and enjoy a coffee or glass of wine. It was on the edge of beautiful countryside but less than 10 minutes from Richmond centre and thus provided the best of both worlds.
-
"Such a fantastic cottage, well equipped facilities and a great location with easy access to main roads."
We really enjoyed our stay at the Cartshed and would recommend it to anyone.
-
"Great place to stay loved our time there"
-
"A very friendly host and lovely welcome package made a good start for a very pleasant holiday."
-
"The property is just as described."
Furnished to a high standard and had everything we needed. Perfect for a relaxing break.
-
"Fantastic cottage in an excellent location."
Very helpful hosts on a very well kept farm. Lovely to be welcomed with wine and home made goodies.
-
"Great location very quiet, lovely village about 15mins walk away."
Lots of extra touches provided in the welcome pack.
-
"My family and I stayed at The Cartshed for 3 nights."
It was one of the best cottages we have stayed in. It is absolutely beautiful and the welcome gifts of homemade cakes and wine was just wonderful. We would definitely return and recommend this cottage to family and friends.
-
"For although freezer space was available in the main house, it would have been better and more convenient (given the wet weather) if the cottage had, had its own fridge/freezer as opposed to just a fridge, otherwise it was very nice and the welcome pack of cakes and wine a nice touch."
Would definitely recommend.
-
"We were greeted very warmly by the owners who were very keen to make sure everything was OK."
The Cartshed is certainly very comfortable and convenient. We even found a bundle of home-made goodies awaiting us consisting of iced cakes, chocolate crunchies, eggs and a bottle of wine. We felt very sad to leave. We would willingly go there again.
-
"What a lovely place the Cart shed is and the hosts Ann and Will were lovely and very helpful."
Having a few rainy days we decided to stay in and have a relaxing time which was great as we don't often have the opportunity to do this and with not problem at all. The goodies which were left for us on arrival were delicious and didn't last long, but we bought some bacon to go with the eggs for breakfast next day. We can't fault anything about the holiday property or Sykes who we booked it through and we will certainly be booking a property again. Many thanks to everyone - Mrs A Crawford from Doncaster

"Superb accommodation ."
..... excellent hosts. Highly recommended.
-
"Lovely owners, setting and welcome pack."
Gorgeous cottage in.a great setting. The only quibble was there was no way of getting away from the heat. If summers are this hot then a couple of fans would be very welcome.
-
"We had a wonderful week at the cartshed its set in beautiful coutryside and perfect to visit all the local attractions."
The village of Gilling West is only down the road it has 2 pubs and i can recomend the food in both. Ann and William keep a very tidy farm its a credit to them. Even though you are in close proximity to there farm house you wouldent know they were there they leave you to enjoy your holiday but Ann is very helpfull if you need anything. The cart shed is tastefully decorated and has a lovely kitchen for self catering. Cant recomend the cartshed enough
-
"Really comfortable and cosy place while at the same time having every modern convenience (including two bathrooms)."
Ann and William were very helpful and friendly while leaving us to do as we pleased during our stay. Lots of places to explore - loved it.
-
"Tastefully designed accommodation."
Nice treats on arrival. Good location for accessing the Dales as well as the charming town of Richmond.
-
"We enjoyed our holiday so much that we have booked the same property for next year something we have never done before."
The owners of the property were very helpful and nothing was to much trouble for them.
-
"A warm welcome and comfortable cottage in a lovely farm setting."
Every amenity we could have wished for had been thought of and lots of additional little treats too. Our family had a wonderful time. Thank you.
-
"It was a fab time, the owner were great and welcoming hosts, Ann left for us lovely cakes and wine."
The house is extremely comfortable, and has everything required for a relaxing and happy holiday. The area is beautiful and very peaceful. Thank you very much for amazing time.
-
"No , totally happy"
-
"Lovely place."
Warm, spacious and great Hosts.
-
"The Cartshed is the perfect place to relax and unwind, great host, beautiful area, cottage is so cosy and comfortable."
..loved sitting in front of the log burner in the evenings, reading, watching tv, and enjoying a glass or two...we will be back!
-
"Love the welcome we got a bottle of wine, cakes home made, milk and teabags all ready on our arrival, sorry nearly forgot a lovely bunch of Roses."
The cottage was just as we expected, the only downside, but a very little downside was the water pressure was low just enough to have a shower, but enough we certainly were never dirty. Really well stocked cottage
-
"Fantastic facility - only real way I can think to improve is to have a sofa in the living room however I understand that may compromise space."
-
"This was a lovely cottage and suited our needs perfectly."
As two friends, we wanted two double bedrooms and two bathrooms so that we could have some privacy. This is not an easy requirement to find. This was a clean, very well appointed cottage and we enjoyed our stay very much.
-
"The cottage was beautiful and in a quiet location."
The gifts on arrival were much appreciated. I would recommend this cottage to anyone who loves the Dales.
-
"Beautiful and tastefully converted barn, with every home comfort and useful maps and info."
Owners were fantastic, providing the privacy we wanted, but always knew they were on hand to help if we needed help. We didn't! Could not have asked for more. A truly lovely week.
-
"The owners were very friendly and helpful, very keen to ensure that we had a lovely holiday."
The cottage was lovely, we couldn't have asked for more.
-
"A lovely, clean cottage in beautiful surroundings."
Very friendly owners. Highly recommend staying there
-
"Super holiday!"
The Carthouse (yes, a genuine converted barn) was renovated and furnished to a very high standard. Furthermore the friendliness and courtesy of the owners, who live in the farmhouse, was exemplary. Little touches make their guests feel valued and cared for. Highly recommended place to stay for those who like a peaceful, rural location and who appreciate quality. Lovely places to visit within easy distance - Richmond, of course, also Thirsk and Helmsley.
-
"The Cartshed is a marvellous conversion from an old farm building into a stunning holiday cottage."
It was extremely stylish and comfortable with everything you would need in the kitchen. The home baking, farm eggs, coffee and wine which greeted us on arrival was a wonderful touch. The owners of the Cartshed were superb hosts - vey friendly and knowledgeable. We also enjoyed the experience of being on a working farm and were able to see the cows, pigs, sheep, a rescue pony and the hens.
-
"The hospitality of the owners Ann and William was first class."
They have produced a superb holiday let of which they are clearly proud. We enjoyed them showing us the workings of their farm and their plans for further development of the property. We have no reservation in recommending this property.
-
"Absolutely fabulous property."
Terrific owners who were really welcoming. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others.
-
"Very friendly hosts"
-
"The owners we're very likeable and made us feel very welcome."
-
"Owners were friendly and pleasant to deal with."
Re "Would you consider re-booking this property" If we were to return to the Yorkshire Dales. However, we prefer to move around.
-
"Great location for the Dales."
Peaceful, quiet, relaxing, well thought out accommodation. "Exactly what it said on the tin"
-
"The Cartshed was booked for two weeks to celebrate a 60th birthday."
Various family and friends came to join us over the two weeks. The accommodation was first class and hosts Ann and William could not have been more welcoming, helping to ensure that the visitor changeovers went smoothly. We were impressed with Richmond - so much going on. There were also some extremely good eating places around - our favourites within three miles of the cottage - the White Swan at Gilling West and the Shoulder of Mutton in Middleton Tyas. Fortunately there were plenty of beautiful walks in the area to work the calories off. I would have no hesitation in recommending this cottage and very much look forward to returning in the future.
-
"The owners, Ann and William, were charming."
They were vert helpful but never intrusive. The gifts they left in the barn for us were super.
-
"I can't praise this accommodation and location enough."
The cottage is of a very high standard and the owners were so welcoming. It was an ideal spot to explore the Yorkshire dales and we had such a lovely week. 5 stars !!!!

Where you’ll be staying
GILLING WEST
Richmond 3 miles; Barnard Castle 11 miles.
The attractive and peaceful Dales village of Gilling West, winner of the "Yorkshire in Bloom" award, is situated in lovely rolling countryside just a few miles to the north of the popular market town of Richmond. The village itself has a lovely old church, two real ale pubs both serving food. There are footpaths and bridleways in every direction and fishing is available nearby. Nearby Richmond grew up around its castle, famously situated high above the River Swale, with panoramic views of the river. Today there are wonderful walks to be enjoyed such as the Castle Walk - a dramatic terrace walk beneath the castle walls - or alternatively walk alongside the River Swale where there are parks, safe paddling areas and small waterfalls to enjoy. Within the town, narrow streets and alleys radiate from the cobbled Market Place (which has a weekly market and monthly farmers’ market) and there are numerous shops, pubs and restaurants to enjoy. The Georgian Theatre is one of the oldest surviving theatres in the country with visitors enjoying its regular productions all year round. An ideal location for exploring all of Swaledale, Teesdale and the Yorkshire Dales.
