• "The cottage was perfect for our short break and ideally situated in a beautiful part of the country and was within easy reach of Pickering, Scarborough and Whitby."

  We would definitely stay in Beckside in the future and have no hesitation in recommending it to others; indeed I already have. And the owner, Mr Barker was very warm and friendly and left a lovely bottle of wine as a welcome. Thank you.

• "My wife and I enjoyed a lovely week at the cottage."

  The owner was extremely helpful and the cottage, while not luxurious, is comfortable and cosy, with everything needed for a good holiday. It is well-placed for visits to places of interest - we went to York, Scarborough and Whitby, as well as various stately homes, castles and abbeys, all within an hour's drive. Definitely recommend!

• "A lovely stay at Beckside, in a beautiful village setting, it had everything we needed for a relaxing, comfortable week."

  We slept well as it was dark and quiet at night. The food at the Blacksmith's Arms was excellent and we were looked after very well there by their efficient and welcoming staff.

• "Just what we wanted, the cottage was cosy,tidy and in such a beautiful area of Yorkshire in which we spent all week exploring in our hiking boots."

  A big thankyou to Mr Barker for making us feel at home and of course the bottle of wine he left for us in the fridge.

• "Whilst the property was comfortable it would benefit from a thorough spring clean, tidying up the flaky paintwork around the bathroom window, new place mats, coasters, chopping board, kitchen bin and dining chair seat covers."

  There was no DVD player as described in the particulars, and whilst there was Netflix, this was totally unobtainable.

• "A very cosy, spotless little cottage next to a beautiful babbling brook (Beck)."

  An excellent location for exploring the North Yorkshire Moors, Whitby, Pickering, York and so much more... We were given a very warm Yorkshire welcome from the owners, who were extremely helpful, lovely people. I would strongly recommend Beckside to anyone who needs a peaceful few days away from the hustle & bustle of life. It's a breath of fresh air & so peaceful.

• "The cottage is beautiful and delightfully situated alongside the beck."

  Comfy bed but just a double sized bed which is detailed in the partoiculars but might not be for everyone but alas with very lumpy, hard and uncomfortable pillows. Lovely bathroom with nice hot shower. Kitchen has most bits and pieces you need for cooking - extractor fan not brilliant but you can open a window. Alas, the WIFI was not working when I stayed which was a nuisance as I was planning on working from the cottage. Mobile reception can be a bit hit and miss too so beware!

• "This cosy cottage was ideal for my autumn break."

  The location is perfect, in a quiet village with moorland walking easily accessible. Facilities at the cottage were excellent and the personal welcome from the owner much appreciated.

• "Really nice little cottage in a beautiful location."

  I would agree with a former reviewer about the size of the towels and also mention the pillows, which were rather lumpy and could be better quality! Having stayed in a considerable number of holiday cottages over the years and with people's expectations of higher standards, it is often the little things that make a difference. A bottle of wine is a nice touch but honestly feel that a small welcome pack would be better as not everybody drinks alcohol but a few basics and some milk would be lovely. Prices are increasing for holidaymakers and adding little touches is often much appreciated. The owner, Alan, was very pleasant and helpful and I would certainly return - just may bring my own pillows! I must also mention the wonderful pub in the village, The Blacksmith's Arms, where my cousins and I had a superb meal.

• "Beautiful cottage in a quiet lovely place with sheep coming to visit ."

  Friendly people and good local pubs for food .Quiet ,no traffic to speak of even in places like Helmsley where there are plenty of car parks .The owners were lovely and offered use of washing facilities but we chose not to spend our holiday washing ! Lots of interesting places to visit and we joined English Heritage as there were several places worth visiting like Whitby and Riveaulx abbeys.. Beckside is quite small but very comfortable and well equipped.We chose to eat out as we were on holiday .As it is small the only thing we found was that it was quite dark in the kitchen and bathroom but we would certainly go again .Also being picky ,although the towels dried well they were only quite small .Bath sheets would be preferable but that is only our choice not a criticism of the cottage .The owners were lovely.

  Mr and Mrs Barker (the owners) were very helpful and helped us arrange our arrival without any difficulties. All in all Could not have been easier. We had booked a holiday with TUI which was cancelled at very short notice and we were able to book the accommodation with Sykes quickly and easily and probably had a much better, more relaxing and pleasant holiday than we would have had from our original TUI holiday

• "Friendly and helpful host, and welcoming historic village with a wonderful pub known for it's meals."

  Centrally located at the edge of the moors for the best of North Yorkshire sight seeing. The independence of a self contained small home, and the charm of the outlook onto the beck flowing through willows and beneath a small bridge, makes for a delightful holiday.

  Thank you for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated. Property Owner

  The cottage is in a quiet, pleasant location in the village with a great pub which served beautiful food. Alan and Robyn were lovely (we were shown around, briefed on the important stuff then left alone to enjoy, we never saw them again until we left). I would not hesitate to recommend this beautiful place and we will definitely be returning soon. If you need to relax and enjoy some beautiful countryside this is the place to be.

  The bathroom is really nice and modern and a good size and we thought there should be photos of this on your website as we have stayed at places(not with Sykes!) where the bathroom has been not so nice! The village of Lastingham is idyllic ,as is the surrounding area. The village pub,The Blacsmiths Arms has a lovely proper village pub buzz about and was busy the 4 nights we ate there which says it all . The food is excellent with a very varied menu and specials on offer to. Would not hesitate to stay here again

  Cottage is well equipped with everything you need . Combination microwave which was enough for our needs as we like to eat out of an evening when on holiday but not for some. It was lovely to get back at the end if our day out to sit outside with a drink listening to the water & all the birds ( be prepared to feed them ) . Lovely sitting on the sofa first thing in the morning watching the birds there were so many they demolished a 2kg bag of bird seed we bought .
