• "This cottage was a great place to stay for our holiday."

  The cottage was all on one level which was great for me as I have limited mobility with my multiple sclerosis. Set on a quiet country farm it was the perfect setting to relax for myself and my friend. Also a great place to visit the North Yorkshire Moors & Coast. We will definitely book our holiday here again.

• "Excellent for wheelchair users if you bring your own hoist if needed."

  Would help greatly if there was continued solid flooring throughout (in bedrooms as carpets atm). Could do with more plates and mugs, only a suggestion. Lovely stay again in a good position to visit accessible places, Bowes museum is excellent in every way.

• "We needed to find somewhere for over the bonfire night period, this Cottage was perfect."

  The owner Keith lives on site in the farmhouse and is always connectable and very helpful. Having been told about our dogs fear of fireworks he went out of his way to find out if and when there were any nearby, we were then prepared, not that we heard many anyway. All in all, a very enjoyable, relaxing and peaceful stay in a lovely location.

  Thank you, Graham, So pleased the wilds of ‘just outside’ the village made Bonfire/Fireworks night less stressful for you all and your pet Property Owner

• "This was a lovely cottage to stay in, in a good position close to all amenities set in beautiful countryside."

  Our daughter uses a wheelchair and requires hoisting (we brought our own hoist) for all transfers. The space in the cottage was excellent and worked well for us. If we could change one thing it would be to continue the hard flooring into the bedrooms.

  And excellent for the wheelchair, my husband had no problems at all. My grandchildren loved the play area. The dog was able to go outside without supervision. Very quiet and peaceful. Outside seating area with parasol when required. All in all a lovely cottage in a beautiful area of the country. Owner very friendly and helpful.

• "The accommodation was spacious with plenty of storage for our luggage."

  the owner was very pleasant. we found slugs in the kitchen on our first night. they had probably crawled under the door. there are adhesive strips gardeners use to deter slugs and snails. one of these across the bottom of the door frame should solve the problem. we had difficulty finding the place at first but the owner cut the grass covering the sign later that day. there wasn't many leaflets of places to go and instructions for use of appliances was in short supply.

  Thanks, Raymond for your review, good tip about Slug/Snail copper strips - I’m going to try this. Property Owner

  and the horses a pleasure to watch. The property is warm and comfortable and very well designed for those with mobility issues (lots of space to get the wheelchair round, smooth floors, accessible shower etc). The bedrooms are spacious with plenty of storage space (but sadly no mirrors to do our make-up), the beds very comfortable and the quality of the pillows and bedding was excellent. Tea, coffe and sugar and a local newspaper were very welcome on arrival as was the well-equipped games box for the couple of wet days we had. We are looking forward to returning next year Thank you to Keith for being a helpful and friendly host.

  . massive amounts of space for me to move around in, the bathroom is huge with a bath or shower, yes there are no rails as a previous reviewer noted but I personally don't require them and find them more a hinderance in places...the location is great as straight on motorway to access many places and the coast is also not too far... all in all another fab week and here's to hopefully returning again very soon for another visit

• "Left early,booked as a disabled client,property quite unsuitable,no grab bars in large wet room toilet too low even for my husband,owner states he offered me frame for toilet,not so."

  Settees soft saggy leather,most uncomfortable,long corridor with rugs,trip hazard! Front door lintel very high when exiting in electric chair frightening.uneven flags to front door.on the whole expensive and upsetting,did tell owner our thoughts,politely but he told us property not listed for disability occupation so sykes cottages should look again when a prospective customer googles for disabled accommodation

  I was sorry to note how disappointed you have been and offer the following response. Our 3 holiday homes are not specifically set up to accommodate guests with significant mobility restrictions, there are no high level toilets nor suspended sinks and the shower and spa bath don’t have wall mounted hand rails and we advise guests before they arrive that suction hand rails cannot be used, we’ve simply ensured where possible that accommodation is on one level and routes between rooms are wide leading to 1 m wide doors. The original Horse Stable allowed for a very large bathroom with a 1m square accessible shower and for which we do offer the loan of a shower chair and toilet frame subject to guests own assessment as to suitability for them, both rejected by you. The two sofas are leather and low! As shown in Sykes photos and we’ve also provided a Parker-Knoll upright armchair which has pleased many guests. When I visited to help you set up Netflix/Prime on the TV, you weren't using the higher armchair but the low sofa. The entrance door does have a 30mm threshold bar which can be navigated safely if slowly, I have however managed now to make a short ramp inside which helps but doesn’t intrude into the passageway. Yes, there are carpet runners in place when guests using wheelchairs arrive, it’s only sensible and essential on a rural site but I will have the passageway tiled at seasons end. Property Owner

  The accommodation was well supplied with everything to make our visit comfortable and enjoyable. Keith went out of his way to make sure we lacked nothing.

  a few things that we noticed was that the cobwebs that where high up on various ceilings and a good few loose tiles in the kitchen and bathroom. don't get me wrong the place was lovely and Keith couldn't do enough to help. I would stay there again defiantly

  Very pleased our guests had a good experience. We’ve had the loose floor tiles lifted and re-set, tiler did say it’s something that occurs due to weight and wheel torque of powered wheelchairs. Cobwebs - so sorry - we do now have a 3m long cobweb brush for the very high ceilings Property Owner

• "We would like to point out that the bathroom flooring was very slippery."

  Grab rails would have greatly improved the shower area. The bath was excellent with good hot water. Property was warm, comfortable and very clean with a well equipped kitchen. A most enjoyable stay.

  We do thank our guests for the positive feedback and the undermanned in which the access issues have been outlined. The bathroom floor is tiled and the builders used non-slip tiles, but tiles and water will always be of some risk. There are no grab rails and we do advise guests that suction rails mustn’t be used. We do now offer a shower chair which guests must assess for suitability themselves as we are not qualified to do so - we don’t advertise as holiday homes for the disabled, but we have tried to make two of the homes as accessible as possible.

  One of us is a wheelchair user - there isn't hoisting or a profiling bed, etc., but the cottage is easy to get around in a wheelchair & the bedrooms are roomy, as is the living area. We liked the open plan kitchen / dining / lounge experience. The outside areas look great for fine weather though we didn't get the chance to get out much. It worked out for the dog though. Nice having TVs in bedrooms - various missing/broken remotes for AV equipment but overall a well-equipped and lovely place.

• "The location of the cottage is excellent if you need to relax in peace because it is quite far away from the road so it's very quiet."

  The cottage owner is very welcoming and provided us with all the information we needed about the area. He also allowed us to change the booking to the other cottage when we realised that the cottage (Cooper) we originally booked didn't have a walk-in shower which could have proved difficult for my husband who has mobility problem. Pottowe Cottage is very roamy, clean and just what we wanted really. The only downside about the holiday is that the cottage doesn't have a wi-fi connection so you are totally cut off from the rest of the world. My daughter who was working on her dissertation and needed the internet could not do anything so had to go to York to work instead. The cottage owner has actually got a wi-fi connection and perhaps in future (just a suggestion), they provide a wi-fi key to the cottages for their guest to tap in - it would not cost them extra to provide this. The area is rich in history and there are so many interesting places to visit - abbey, priory, ruined castles, historic houses and lovely seaside towns. We visited Saltburn-by-the-way which is a beautiful place. Castle Howard is the one not to miss. Thank you, Sykes Cottages!
