• "This is generally a comfortable, well-equipped property, in a pleasant village."

  The average rating reflects the fact that, on our arrival, the property was unheated. Our efforts to get the central heating working gave us heating in the bedrooms and bathrooms but not, unfortunately, the lounge or dining room. We set a wood fire and managed to get the temperature up to 16 degrees. We called Sykes for assistance (owner details not being provided). Despite getting a text saying we would have a reply within 20 minutes we didn't. We called Sykes the following morning and were told we'd be kept abreast of progress. We weren't, but at 7.30 that evening a plumber arrived. Fortunately we hadn't decamped elsewhere in search of warmth. He diagnosed insufficient pressure and, to his surprise, several valves being closed. Once remedied things became better. But we'd had an evening and a half out of four shivering. This is North Yorkshire, in mid October. Outside temperature was forecast at four degrees on the first night. It shouldn't have been difficult to anticipate the need for heat.

  Thank you for the feedback, we are very sorry for the unfortunate issue with the heating. This has now been rectified and should hopefully not happen again, a plumber has been and resolved the issue. An owner has now been instated at the property. we hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in North Yorkshire and all it has to offer. Property Owner

• "A really nice cottage, much larger than appears from the outside."

  The property was very clean and the decor quite fresh. Lovely garden to sit in. We had a number of places locally to visit but found we were more than happy to stay here and chill out. The only very slight niggle is the road outside is very busy day and night and noisy with agricultural vehicles and lorries. It wouldn't put us off from a return visit though. Grand daughter loved paddling in the brook every day.

• "Cottage was beautiful from the outside with all the lovely flowers in front of the windows."

  Inside the kitchen was well equipped with everything you'd need, there was also a washing machine and tumble dryer in the downstairs shower room. There was a dining area as well as a lounge which had an open fire, (not that we used it, but could imagine it looking great in the colder months). TV was a very decent size and there was a dvd player with plenty of dvds to suit all tastes. Upstairs (have to state that stairs were a bit steep) there were two double bedrooms accessed by a step outside of the rooms and a twin bedroom which was had level access as well as a bathroom comprising of shower, toilet, sink and bath. All in all it was a pleasure to stay at the cottage, but I did find that the traffic noise outside was very off putting, especially if sat in the conservatory relaxing with the door open. Traffic was relentless and loud. There was a garden at the rear with washing line which was very handy, and wood seating & table. Cottage was in a lovely village setting & made for the perfect base to go exploring in parts of Yorkshire. Other than that I couldn't fault it.
