• "We had a really good holiday at the Old Chapel."

  We went there 21 years ago and in that time they have made various changes, all for the better. Would love to go back there again.

• "The Old Chapel is lovely."

  Such a cosy atmosphere and the surrounding scenery is just gorgeous. The place was in perfect condition when we arrived and we all found it very comfortable, the beds especially! Would definitely book again and have already recommended it to family members. Thank you for a lovely stay.

• "Fabulous conversion."

  Has the wow factor. this was our 3rd sykes cottage this year. However I would like to point out a few little touches we felt were lacking. No hand towels for the shower rooms, dish cloth, shower gel, shampoo, dishwasher tabs. Usually a small welcome pack of the above has been in previous cottages. The sponge/scourer in the kitchen was a used grubbie one. Half used toilet rolls in both bathrooms. Sink overflow needed bleaching. There was lots of dust around and cobwebs on the kitchen walls ets. Blind would not close to the window in bathroom therefor passers by could see in.Blinds were stained and settee arms were very grubbie. Oven bottom has split and burned food on it. £ dirty cups left in

• "A lovely cottage in a marvellous location, perfectly situated as a base for our holiday and beautifully quiet."

  We will be back. For the two of us, the under-counter fridge was barely adequate. I cannot imagine how a larger group could manage, and there are beds for six people! There was a power cut in the district one day while we were out. Obviously this was not the fault of the property, or the property owners, but as a result of it, the boiler got confused and we had problems with hot water. The boiler has been recently changed and the contact person was not very familiar with it. Although she got it working, it lost hot water again two days later. Although there is a folder of helpful information, much of it was out of date or simply wrong. A little effort could be made to keep it up to date which would give a much better impression. However overall we were very pleased with this property and will definitely go back

• "This was an ideal cottage for our needs as first time visitors to the North York Moors."

  Although beautifully secluded, with wildlife all around (curlew and lapwing greeted us on arrival), it was only quarter of an hour to the nearest main road and so very accessible to all the attractions we wanted to see.

• "The Old Chapel is such a lovely cottage, it was so enjoyable to wake up in the morning and listen to the birds and the sheep."

  The cottage has everything you need. We enjoyed family time and playing the board games avaliable. The location was great, 10 minutes drive to local village. We were so close to the Moors. We visited Whitby, Scarborough and Robin Hoods Bay. Hutton Le Hole is a cute village with a lovely tea room called The Forge, lovely Scones, Cakes and Sandwiches etc. Great Ayton has the best pie shop called Petch. We can't wait to stay again.

• "Very happy with the quality of the property & it was exactly as described."

  The location was fantastic and helped by the amazing weather over the Easter weekend, my family & I had a great time. The use of a key safe by the owners, made the arrival & departure experience very straightforward. Would definitely recommend The Old Chapel.....it's a great place to stay in a beautiful part of the country.

• "The Old Chapel is a fantastic place to stay."

  Set in a beautiful location, the cottage was much bigger than I'd expected, with plenty of room for our two children and all their Christmas presents. Very comfy and lovely and warm too. I'd definitely recommend it.

  We booked last minute but the owners were very accommodating. Very comfortable, the children enjoyed playing in the garden. The facilities in the cottage were great, we will hopefully be back

• "The location was perfect as we could walk from the cottage on footpaths and quiet roads without having to use the car."

  The cottage was very comfortable for 6 with plenty of kitchen crockery, cutlery etc The nearest pub is about 1.5 miles away and we walked there and back for an evening meal. One suggestion: could the garden chairs in the shed be made available? The weather was good enough to sit in the garden.

• "The Old Chapel is a lovely cottage right on the edge of the moors full of charm and character."

  It has all the amenities needed for a relaxing break and was comfortable with my disabled father. Yet again, we enjoyed a lovely relaxing week here.

• "A pleasant place to stay in a delightful isolated situation, with an ideally relaxing garden (plus local rabbits to mow the lawn)."

  Luxuriously equipped. The first two evenings we found the cottage too cold to sit in and relax comfortably. It's a pity the owner doesn't trust hirers to put the central heating on or off as needed - this approach is something we've never met before in over twenty years of cottage holidays and seems parsimonious in what was by no means a cheap cottage. We accept that the offer of telephoning for help was provided, but when there's no usable mobile signal in the cottage or immediately around it, this is hardly a useful suggestion. We would also query the height of the one and only step between the upper and lower area of the lounge. Someone coming down at night from the mezzanine bedroom to use the loo could have a nasty fall. Ought there to be a white strip to indicate the presence of the step?

• "I'm not entirely sure where to start."

  We had an amazing stay from start to finish. If you're reading this and thinking of booking to stay here, do not hesitate! It will not disappoint. The Old Chapel is one of those places you wish you owned, my friends and I all agreed that we really could live there. The photos, and it's exterior are deceiving, the place is like the Tardis, it is huge inside by comparison to how it appears on the outside. We stayed for 3 nights over New Year's Eve, we were lucky that it bucketed down with snow, making the cottage and the landscape picturesque, we were kept lovely and warm by the large log burner and huge antique radiators. The place was reminiscent of the cottage in the film, The Holiday (for those of you who have seen it). The location is perfect, if you'd like a secluded break but not completely out in the middle of nowhere. The village of Gillamoor is only 2 miles away which has a lovely little pub, and was a great little winter's walk. The layout of the cottage is beautiful, with an open plan loft converted bedroom overlooking the living room, the living room is spacious and comes complete with a TV, DVD player, a stereo and drinks fridge. There was even a Christmas tree put up when we arrived. The master bedroom has a huge new bed, queen size I believe, it was definitely different to the one we saw in the photographs. There is also a modern en suite bathroom. The kitchen is a good size and has almost all the necessary utensils. The garden is amazing and has a little brook running alongside the house. as well as having a good sized patio and a outdoor bench and table, which would be great for BBQ's in the warmer months. I really could go on rambling about the place. We will most certainly be looking at staying again in the spring time. I really can't recommend the place enough! Thank you for an amazing weekend.

• "The cottage was beautiful and very well furnished."

  The location was lovely, just on the outskirts of the forest and we were made to feel very welcome. Good accommodation for our two small children and ourselves. The owners were very help, even when we failed to read the conditions properly and forgot to bring towels with us. All in all a lovely place to stay

• "The Old Chapel is lovely."

  Clean,comfortable and very well equipped.We have holidayed on the moors many times in the last 50 yrs.,and was delighted with the property,and its location in a part of the moors which we have somehow overlooked over the years,usually journeying on up through Pickering to Whitby area.Overall,a nice break,despite the typical moors weather,fog and drizzle,but it doesn't detract from the beauty of the moors,and it doesn't rain in the "Lion" on Blakey Ridge!! Thank You..

• "We had a really good week."

  We had everything we needed and tea coffee and milk there which was very welcome after a long journey. The chapel was always nice and warm with plenty of hot water to come back to after a day out exploring. The birds and rabbits were fun to watch in the garden. We found plenty to do in North Yorkshire to fill our week. Thank you.
