• "Great cottage very well equipped had a good holiday."

  The access was a problem as we were not aware of the steep narrow passage way to the property which was a problem when carrying your luggage. This was not stated on the original advert , before the booking was made.

  Hello Susan - many thanks for your review and I'm pleased you enjoyed your holiday. Although the path to the cottage lies on a gentle slope and is cobbled for 5 metres under a historic archway, I'm afraid I genuinely hadn't realised it might be a problem for some people and I'm sorry it caused you a problem. However I have taken your comments on board and have asked Sykes to mention this in their online description. Best wishes Kate Property Owner

• "Lovely cosy property which is well equipped and is in a good location."

  The owner couldn't have done more to make us feel welcome, leaving us with confidence if anything did go wrong, which it didn't.

  Hello Clive - many thanks for taking the time to write such a glowing review. Much appreciated! Best wishes Kate Property Owner

• "We had a really pleasant stay at this property."

  There were a few things however that did slightly affect our overall rating. The Bannister railings upstairs on the right were loose.That was a safety concern for us as we had to be careful not to hold onto a certain part of it .Particularly as we had a child. The upstairs bedroom windows didn't have any blinds or net curtains so the house opposite could see right in .This again was a privacy and modesty concern. The bath was not very deep therefore slightly uncomfortable in the bathroom . The small stool seat in the main bedroom near the dressing table was broken so you couldn't sit on it properly . The WiFi was unfortunately not a good coverage.We couldn't watch catch up TV properly or it would buffer alot whilst loading. These are all things that could be easily addressed though .We enjoyed our stay and the facilities overall were good. It was a cottage full of character in a beautiful area.

  Hello Laura - many thanks for your feedback. I'm pleased you found the facilities overall were good but sorry you had some concerns. These have been considered and addressed as follows: Firstly, we tested the Wi-fi officially after you left and the download speed was confirmed at 48.6 Mbps which is more than adequate for this cottage. We personally then watched BBC iplayer oursleves for over an hour and experienced no buffering. No other guests have complained about the speed but I am sorry you had this experience and we will continue to monitor. The spindle which was slightly loose on the bannister has now been secured but the bannister itself was always safe. Both bedroom windows have curtains (but not nets) and the dressing table stool is not broken, but must be positioned over the base correctly. When I was cleaning I may have knocked it out of position. I'm afraid I can't install a new bath but although it's quite small (to has to be in order to fit in a cottage bathroom)I don't think it's particuarly shallow? There's also a good over-bath shower. My husband and all my grown up family have stayed (son in law is 6ft 7ins) and I haven't had any complaints from them. I did go to considerable lengths to transport and lend you my own baby equipment and had numerous communications with you about the in-situ fitted stairgate, so although I always welcome and act upon constructive feedback, I'm a little surprised that your public review is predominantly negative.

  Great value accommodation. Provided everything we needed. Very fair with the heating, particularly as the weather turned colder. Beautiful walks directly from the cottage. Plenty of useful books and leaflets on the surrounding areas. Would not hesitate to return

• "Our second visit to this lovely cottage."

  Thanks to Kate the owner for lovely gift basket and especially for the generous £30 gift behind the bar at Richard 3rd pub for being return guests. It was really unexpected and we had a great meal. The cottage is a great base to visit the area. I stayed again with my now 5 year old granddaughter, who stated she wanted to live here. It was great for a day out at the Forbidden Corner, just 5 minutes up the road. We also had a day out at Lightwater Valley just over half an hour away. Baymor ice cream parlour was only about 6 minutes away and had great play areas. Looking forward to returning again next year

  Hello Lesley - thank you so much for your review. It is very much appreciated. I’m so pleased you both had a lovely time. Best wishes Kate Property Owner

• "We had a lovely stay at this cottage for a week."

  The cottage was as described and Kate the owner got in touch before our stay to advise of different attractions, eateries etc. we were very lucky with the weather during our stay and so viruses the cottage as a base to visit Newby Hall, web adventure park, Brymoor ice cream parlour, forbidden corner and Jervaulx Abbey. We also dined in the local pub and enjoyed the fish and chip shop. The village is small and quaint and the locals all friendly. There is also a lovely little park nearby. We had a lovely stay and would recommend to family and friends!

  Hello Rachel - so pleased to hear you had a lovely stay and thank you for your enthusiastic comments here, as well as in the cottage's Visitors' Book. Your recommendations for lovely days out are much appreciated too. They're all such magical places! Best wishes Kate Property Owner

• "Lovely cute cottage right in the centre of Middleham."

  Easy access to lots of places of interest. Steep climb upto the cottage which I struggled a little with especially with cases but thats because I do have some mobility issues but I managed it. The stairs in the property to the bedrooms are steep too. The property was clean and tidy and beds were comfortable. Quiet location considering it's in the middle of the village near a pub but you couldn't here anything from the pub. Would recommend to friends with better mobility than me

  Hello Elaine - many thanks for taking the time to write a review. The path to the cottage is on a slight incline and the old cobbles (only for 2-3 metres under the arch) can make it tricky to pull a wheeled suitcase but I hope this wasn't too much of a problem and thanks for pointing this out. I'm pleased you enjoyed your stay, found lots to do and found the cottage clean, tidy and quiet. Best wishes Kate Property Owner

• "A lovely property in a small village with plenty to do in and around."

  Facilities were good and the welcome pack was lovely. If you are a little unsteady on your feet, access will be difficult as the cobbles and slope can get greasy in the wet but overall a good value property.

  Many thanks for taking the time to write this useful feedback. I'm pleased you liked the cottage and the welcome pack. In the meantime I'll ask Sykes to mention that the path to the cottage can be slippy if it's wet. Best wishes Kate Property Owner

• "Great cottage with everything you could need."

  Please note the enclosed patio area is shared with one neighbour. It’s in the middle of town, handy for walks, pubs and food. Definitely worth a visit.

  Hi Michelle - many thanks for taking the time to give feedback. Happy to hear you liked the cottage. Our (delightful) neighbour uses the cottage next door as a second home so is only resident on a few weekends and odd days per year. However I will mention this to Sykes and we will mention it in the description. Many thanks again. Best wishes Kate Property Owner

• "A delightful little mews cottage tucked up two little lanes leading off market square."

  Remarkably quiet for such a central location and the courtyard is a suntrap from early morning to mid afternoon. Lovely dog friendly walks from frontdoor and excellent facilities, pubs, cafe, shop and castle only short walk away. As can be anticipated in a mews cottage the stair is steep and narrow also cobbles on access path might not be easy for anyone with mobility issues but otherwise idyllic. I had no issues but owner was very accessible by text.

• "Cottage was lovely and comfortable and welcoming."

  One suggestion, the welcome pack comprised of a bottle of wine, doggie biscuits and some tea bags (which was a lovely thought), however, perhaps a pint of milk would be a nice touch in the pack. Only reason I say that is, anyone who travels a quite a distance, they could just go into cottage, have a cuppa immediately, without thinking 'I have to go to the shop'. As I say, that is just a suggestion, not a criticism. We would recommend your cottage to friends. Area is beautiful and The Richard 111 pub is a must for meals.

  Perfectly situated in a beautiful village, the cottage itself was cosy and welcoming and the welcome pack left by Kate was a lovely touch.

Not being able to stay forever! We’ll be back though!

• "Lovely Cottage."

  Now that the house behind is sold hopefully the new owner will cut down the garden which will make it much lighter inside. Lack of electrical sockets in the bedroom so couldn't use the bedside lamp and couldn't use anything in the small bedroom as its behind the bed. Not criticism just constructive advise.

  The fridge door needs adjusting, it doesn't close fully unless a conscious effort is made.
