• "We really enjoyed our 2nd stay."

  He views from the garden are too kill for. We loved sitting in the garden looking after the wonderful views. The kitchen is very worn and could do with a revep. The bottom runner on the kitchen unit under the sink. Come fall off just after we arrived. Some of the units looked like they seen better days. The heater in the main bedroom did not work as the switch on the wall was turned off on our arrival. You could see some crumbs on the floor in the kitchen area. As we had to remove the mats as they were a hazard, But overall, we had an amazing time.

• "The holiday cottage was lovely and the facilities were great, the only thing was the television needs updating as it wouldn’t work on normal free view channels."

  Also couldn’t find correct information about the recycling point but found one in Reeth which is good to know. Fantastic cottage overall

  We were able to sit out on the patio as we were very lucky with good weather. We will certainly be back !

• "We very much enjoyed our stay at Hobson's which had everything we needed."

  There were plenty of leaflets with suggestions of things to do and the cottage was well placed to walk to pubs and restaurants in Grinton and Reeth. The bottle of prosecco was a pleasant surprise, particularly as we were there to celebrate a birthday, although half a dozen tea bags and a small bottle of milk would have been more useful for our first evening. However, coffee was provided.

• "Another great stay at Hobsons cottage."

  So handy for Reeth, and the views from the window are great.Very clean, as always. The bed is really comfy, not too soft or too hard. Kitchen is looking a little tired, which we passed on to the cottage's manager, and we received an email very quickly saying they would let the owners know. One thing to note is just how steep and narrow the stairs are inside the property, so perhaps not ideal for anyone infirm. We will be staying again.

  Great location with just the right length to and from Reeth and the pubs for a meal. Fantastic view from sitting room window.

• "Overall OK Couple of items maybe would have helped make it better."

  Outside waste bin was overflowing when we arrived which wasn’t very hygienic. While the bottle of whine and carton of crisps was very nice some salt and maybe a few teabags would have been very welcome. We did however enjoy our stay.

• "The cottage very homely."

  Everything you need The views are to kill for . We could sit looking at them all day. So peaceful. The welcome pack was ok. But think the following would of been better. Bread and milk. As we arrived about 7pm and no shop near by. We planning on coming back next year.

• "Lovely little cottage, well appointed too."

  Possibly not suitable for the elderly or infirm due to the steep staircase, plenty to do in the area. The only addition I would make would be having a hair dryer in the property.

• "Parking situation was wholly inadequate."

  Parking was in a layby where anyone could park, so a space wasn't guaranteed. It was much further from the cottage than was stated AFTER we booked. Fire precautions were a concern. The front door doubled as the fire escape and there was no means of escape downstairs. If a fire was to start upstairs in the living area, anyone downstairs in the bedroom/bathroom area would be trapped.

• "Really enjoyed our week here."

  The facilities are good,and the furniture very comfortable. Two adults and a dog fitted in well. The terrace is spectacular since it catches virtually ever moment of the sun. We had no problem parking, although it fills up a bit with day walkers. Nearby pub and cycle cafe are really good.

  My only regret is that 4 nights wasn't long enough. I'm hoping to come back for a week in October.

• "Lovely cosy cottage only a short distance to Reeth with its choice of pubs and bakery."

  Clean, warm and well equipped with comfortable beds and a good base for exploring the area. We did some wonderful walks straight from the door and will definitely return to this property when we can. Parking was easy – just a short walk down the hill beside some other cottages. Thank you for the welcome basket which was much appreciated.

  Excellent. We would suggest a visitor’s book for comments and recommendations re local attractions and eating places etc. For out of season visiting (dark evenings) a torch in the porch would be useful. (We used the torch on my phone). Thanks.

• "Such a lovely upside down cottage."

  Absolutely stunning location. Gorgeous little cottage, great size for a small family. Appreciated the bottle of Prosecco as it was a trip for our mini moon. We had a wonderful time. Great selection of pubs in Reeth. Only downside is a neighbour was very rude to us over parking, but obviously this is nothing to do with the cottage. Bed comfortable, got a great nights sleep. Cottage was lovely and cool respite from the heatwave. Can’t fault at all. Thanks so much.

• "Lovely cottage."

  Cosy and welcoming. Good accurate description on the website and clear details regarding arrival and entry. The cottage was clean and tastefully furnished with everything you would need. Only slight negatives - sofa was not comfortable - we both got backache, and kitchen knives need sharpening or replacing. However, we will still be back! We loved the location which was peaceful but also convenient for exploring the delights of Swaledale. Thanks.

  Already booked to go back in the summer. Hopefully weather as good as would love to have a bbq and sit on the patio whilst soaking in the view. Cottage only small but had everything you needed, very clean and well presented, even a washer dryer. Patio could do with a jet wash after the winter . Would definitely recommend

• "Enjoyable mini break in a lovely, clean, well equipped cottage."

  The bed was very comfortable, although the electric shower, while nice and hot, didn't have much flow and I had to wash my hair using the bath tap shower head. The bedrooms down the very steep and narrow treaded stairs (beware if you have any mobility issues) have had a makeover since the photos and are well equipped and very comfortable. The kitchen has everything needed for self catering, including a coffee machine. The welcome basket of prosecco, crisps and 4 coffee pods was a nice touch. The only downside was the 5pm check in and 9am checkout, I understand that this may have been changed due to covid/cleaning etc, but this made it a rush to get up, packed and leave the place as we found it without setting the alarm to get up early, although we did it, but an extra hour would have helped so we could have had some breakfast as well! Set in a lovely location with views from the patio garden over Reeth and the surrounding hills, walking distance to Reeth where there are pubs serving food and a small corner shop which is quite well stocked, and a friendly pub in Grinton also serving food. We self catered and shopped at Tesco in Catterick Garrison on the way so didn't eat out on this trip. We did two 7 mile walks along the river and up along the tops of both sides of the valley, Fremington Edge and Harkerside where you can see for miles, which both us and our dog loved as we were very lucky with two days of lovely December sunshine! And there are plenty more walks right on the doorstep. The parking at the bottom of the hill a short walk away, was in a small lane shared with some cottages. All in all a great stay, we may need to return to explore more of the stunning local area!

• "Lounge window is very drafty."

  A chamois leather/cloth or Karcher machine to mop the window panes on cold mornings would be useful. Lounge rug keeps moving/slipping on the carpet. Would be good to be able to store bicycles in the shed (which is full of other stuff). Also, wheelie bin blocks easy access to the patio so perhaps it could 'live' on the patio and just be moved outside the gate on collection days? Couldn't get coffee maker green light to come on. Apart from these small practical things, we very much enjoyed staying in your cottage - it has such a homely, cosy feel. Loved sitting contemplating the view across to Reeth, watching the sheep and pheasants in the field - you might add a photo to show this (a real plus point). Thank you so much.

• "Cosy little cottage, perfect for a small family of 3 like ours."

  We had a perfect week away walking and river swimming. Road has no street name, so instructions finding it where great in day time. But at night could be easy to drive up the steep hill to another property called, "Hobsons". Would be great if the owners registered the property properly with Royal Mail as, "Hobson's Cottage". They can do so online https://www.royalmail.com/personal/receiving-mail/update-your-address. This would also help the owners of, "Hobsons", as a delivery driver left us their wince club delivery! Would also help people staying at, "Hobson's Cottage" to get food delivered from the big Tesco in Catterick.

• "Absolutely fabulous cottage lovely location welcome basket of prosecco crisps and coffee Spotless, great facilities and everything we needed for a quiet weekend away."

  It was exactly as advertised, surrounded by farmland and stunning views of the Yorkshire Dales and swale valley. Pet friendly and warm and cosy. Reeth is a lovely village and the cottage is 5 minute walk to shops and pub. The only tiny negative is the proximity to the road which is very busy throughout the day. Will definitely come to stay here again.

• "The cottage was lovely, well equipped and beautifully located."

  We had a lovely holiday with lots of really good walking. The only "fly in the ointment" was that we received no direct contact from Sykes with regards to lockdown restrictions which came in during our stay. We had to search out information for ourselves on the website and internet.

• "The cottage was absolutely perfect."

  Beautiful surroundings. It had everything we could wish for. It was a lovely surprise to find a box of essentials tea coffee even a bottle of Prosecco. Very thoughtful . Bed was very comfy . Bed linen , crockery etc was all good quality . Had a great stay. fantastic walks right from the door of the cottage . Will definitely book again . The only down side was check in times 5 pm and leave at 9am it was such a rush to get out for 9am and leave the cottage as we found it . Makes it quite stressful you also lose a day of your holiday . I understand due to Covid the extra cleaning but check in and out times should be 3pm arrival and 11 am departure . It still gives 4 hours to clean . Other than that the Cottage was perfect .

  We were not sure what to expect and found it suited us v well. Location is good with Reeth close by for shop, cafe and pubs. Also handy for flatter walk to Bridge Inn at Grinton. Good base for walking (or cycling). Nice patio to relax and enjoy view and sunshine. We mixed some pub meals with self-catering. No info in cottage (assume due to Covid). Info for water heater would have been useful, but everything else straightforward.

  Spent a lot of time outside in the evening as for most of the week the weather was very good. The house is very clean and as there were only two of us more than enough space inside. The photos do not do justice to the property as the bedrooms have now had a makeover and are much more modern and brighter than is shown. Will book again
