• "The property is well equipped and very comfortable."

  The owners were very friendly and helpful including providing logs for the wood burning stove. It was not particularly cold when we where there in November but the wood burner made it cosy. I am not sure how cosy it would have been the week after, with heavy snow. The main room only has two small radiators and a high ceiling. The wood burner is also quite small. An added bonus is parking by the main house in a quiet lane.

• "One of the best places we have stayed."

  Can’t recommend enough. You can tell there has been a lot of thought put in. Normally at holiday stays there is at least one thing you can say could have been better or that is missing. Truly, this holiday stay had everything. Can’t fault in any way. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

  Thank you for the lovely feedback really appreciated Property Owner

• "Excellently equipped and comfortable."

  Good local information provided. Just a 5 min walk into Oxenhope for supermarket. Well sited for holiday. We went NE for NT's East Riddlesden Hall and Cow & Calf on Ilkley Moor, Also Salt's Mill & Saltaire and Shipley Glen. Then, twice more locally NW to Top Withins & Haworth Museum. Then a couple of trips S to Hebden Bridge, Heptonstall, Hardcastle Crags areas. We'd travelled in from the Midlands, visiting the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and the National Mining Museum on our journeys. So we found Yate Cottage an excellent place to stay.

• "A great holiday cottage for two."

  Although small it is very well equipped with quality furnishings and everything you need for a getaway whatever the British weather! The location is quiet, with deer visiting the garden in the morning, the only sounds being the twitter of birds and the occasional toot from the nearby steam railway.

• "Very well equipped, well presented, well maintained cottage."

  Very peaceful with plenty of wildlife just outside the front door, make for a welcome sight first thing in the mornings. The owners both welcomed us on arrival and offered assistance to unpack and provide local knowledge of the area, which was most welcomed and made to feel at home immediately. Excellence definitely comes as standard here at Yate Cottage and we both cannot thank the owners enough for every detail provided. to make our stay faultless and thoroughly enjoyable. Looking forwarded to staying at Yate Cottage again in the near future. Jenny & Paul

• "Yate Cottage is an extremely comfortable and well equipped property with everything you might need for an enjoyable stay."

  However the shower cubicle is very small and not for the claustrophobic - nevertheless this should not detract from the overall excellence of this property.

  Thanks for the lovely feedback. If we could change one thing it would be the size of the bathroom unfortunately due to the listed status of the property we cannot extend and have tried to make sure we have used the space we have well. Property Owner

• "A warm welcome on arrival."

  The cottage is beautiful, immaculately clean, beautiful furniture, very comfortable bed, nice cozy garden, lovely area, great walking countryside. We thoroughly enjoyed our break. Very highly recommended. The only drawback, the welcome pack wasn't as expected ie no eggs, milk or bread, but not to worry because a co-op is a short walk away to stock up with essentials.

  Thank you for the lovely feedback. I am sorry the welcome pack wasn't what you were expecting, the photograph on the Sykes website is an illustration of a welcome pack not a description of what you receive. Over the years we have had to change what is included to comply with labelling laws and covid, we hope the wine, chocolate and biscuits were a good substitute. Property Owner

  The owners make every effort to ensure the condition of the property. The detail of the equipment is the best we have encountered. Walks from the door, leave the car and go by bus if you wish, drive where you wish, local roads narrow in places with blind bends. Plenty of places to visit.

• "We had a lovely week here in an amazing location."

  The property was small and compact but perfect for our needs. The owner was friendly and kind and gave us advice for a TV aerial problem. The cottage had everything you would wish for, except we couldn't find any kitchen scissors which was a minor problem. The garden is secluded with beautiful views of the surrounding moorland. The surrounding roads and access to the property are very steep which perhaps should be mentioned for anyone with mobility difficulties, although we had no problems. The welcome basket of goodies was very kind and we enjoyed the wine and treats. Would be very happy to recommend this lovely place to stay.

  Hi Liz thanks for the feedback, the kitchen scissors were in the drawer next to the cooker with wooden spoons, corkscrew etc. Access is described in the property access statement. Ronnie Yate Cottage Property Owner

• "This was one of the best cottages we have stayed in."

  It was absolutely beautiful; so well equipped and relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would give an unqualified recommendation to anyone else. The area around Oxenhope is so rich in places of interest and fine walks. The location, along with the CO-OP in the village, make it unnecessary to travel very far. Absolutely superb - an absolute gem!

• "The cottage was really beautiful and very clean and comfortable - in a lovely quiet location."

  The view from the window seat was very attractive - over the gardens and to the hills in the distance. Oxenhope is a very pretty village, and much quieter than others nearby. It's a good central location to visit all the attractions - and only 2 miles to nearby Haworth (with well signed paths). It also has the Keithley and Worth Steam Railway - which is brilliant. There is a Co-op and a chemist in the village - so all we needed for our stay within walking distance. The owners, Graham and Ronnie were very helpful and friendly - we would definitely recommend staying in this cottage.

• "This is one of the best cottages we’ve stayed in."

  The photos don’t do this place justice - in particular, the beautiful, spacious, vaulted open plan living/kitchen area, but also because the owners have updated the furnishings since the photos were taken - bed linen, sofa, cushions - and it’s all very bright and tasteful and comfortable. It’s in such a peaceful spot up a lane only accessed by a nearby farm so just the odd vehicle and, otherwise, just birdsong interspersed by the distant sound of the steam train (I didn’t realise Oxenhope was on the KWR line and well worth a visit/ride) which makes you feel like you’ve gone back in time. Very comfortable bed too. The kitchen is one of the most well equipped we’ve come across. I had to have words with the oven but there are some tips in the manual. Big windows bring in lots of light and lovely views into the garden and field and across to moorland. Lovely little garden too. Compact bathroom has underfloor heating :-) Bed very comfortable which isn’t always the case with self-catering cottages. We did some great walks - we drove a bit but there are ones on the doorstep too. The owners live next door and we met Graham who was very helpful when we had a couple of questions. Though otherwise didn’t bump into them so felt private. Just watch out when you’re pan frying as there’s no extractor and the smoke alarm was very sensitive even with the door and windows open. Oxenhope has a friendly and well stocked coop which was very handy and only a 5 minute walk.

  It had everything we could possibly need and a friendly but unobtrusive host. Central to a beautiful area, surrounded with super views from the cottage windows. We enjoyed watching deer frequently. Recomended visits to Cow and Calf for walks Ilkley and the Piece Hall in Halifax for nice shopping and the Keighley and Worth Valley Steam train for a day or morning out, Its walking distance from cottage. We had a really wonderful week here.

• "The cottage was set in the most beautiful location."

  The garden is a lovely extra and gets the sun all day. The cottage has everything you need for your stay (kitchen equipment, condiments, tea and coffee, etc) and is very comfortable and exceptionally clean. The basket of treats was welcome on arrival - thank you! Oxenhope has a local coop which is in walking distance. The local pubs are all very friendly. The village of Haworth is within walking distance and is full of history - Haworth Old Hall does excellent food. There are various cycle tracks and routes around the area but beware, it is very hilly! Overall I would recommend Yate cottage to any couple. A wounderful escape to the country! Thanks for sharing your wonderful home.

  It also made me feel like Jane Eyre! It was really well decorated and equipped. After a very long walk we were rathery tired and stayed in one evening as there were lots of DVDs to choose from and a CO-OP just down the lane. Super easy to get to Haworth and there were lots of lovely walks to do that we couldn't fit in - I can't wait to come back again! I will defo tell everyone about it too.
