"The property was set in a lovely area with a small river running through the area, a pleasant footpath walk to Malham which took 20 minutes."
The Buck Inn was a reasonably priced to eat and good quality. Easy access to Skipton and Settle.

"We stayed at Fountains Cottage many years ago."
It’s a lovely warm comfortable cottage with everything you could need. It’s situated in a quiet location with walks from the doorstep. It’s conveniently situated for touring the Dales, the Moors and venturing into the Lakes. Cooking on the Aga was new to us, but we had some delicious results. The cottage also has some lovely arty touches and a good selection of DVDs. The food at the Victoria was really good too and within walking distance. Hopefully we will visit again in the future

"The property was clean and well presented, we particularly liked the Aga which kept the property warm."
The bedclothes were of good quality. There was everything you could possibly need, for example, brushes, hoover, cleaning materials etc and it was nice to have under-floor heating in the bathroom. We enjoyed the fact we could walk to the local pub, which took about 10 minutes, and also walk to the two pubs and tearoom in Malham, across the fields, which also took about 10 minutes. Access to Malham and other local walks was great, you don't need the car. We visited the Farm Shop and Tearoom at Airton twice. We also visited Settle and Skipton, by car, which were nearby. We would thoroughly recommend this property and location.

"In forty years of cottage holidays Fountains Cottage is probably the best."
The cottage is so comfortable and well presented, the setting so tranquil.
The walks through the grounds, alongside the stream and the mill leat, with views to Malham Cove, are not to be missed.
Superb.

"This stunning cottage is a gem of a find."
The property is in an idyllic setting and is well equipped. The scenery is simply stunning and the facilities exceptional. The walk to Malham through the private woodland was amazing taking in the river at the front and the millpond behind. The owners couldn't do more to help and answered our emails/phone calls promptly. We wished we could have stayed longer. We have stayed in many holiday lets but this is by far the best in so many ways. We loved it so much we have booked to stay for a week next year. We would highly recommend a stay here.

It was incredibly cosy despite the wild weather outside, the Aga keeping the kitchen constantly toasty. The beds were ultra comfy and we slept well which was great as the cottage is in an ideal position for wonderful drives, walks and shopping venues. Brilliant place which we would like to go back to.

"The cottage is in a delightful setting although quite remote."
We really enjoyed walking the mile through the private grounds and fields into Malham where there are several places to eat but no shops. Generally you need to go by car for any requirements. There are lovely walks from the door. The cottage is well equipped and furnished. Cooking on an Aga is quite a challenge, but it was 30 degrees outside! Some people would love it. We will definitely be going back.

There is an excellent pub (The Lister Arms) 20 minutes' walk/ 5 minutes' drive away, plenty of walks from the doorstep and tourist sites to visit within 20-40 minutes' drive away. There are supermarkets in Skipton and Settle and an amazing farm shop (Keelham) near Skipton. I would really recommend this property for a relaxing holiday.

Booking through Sykes Cottages was easy and stress free as always, thank you. The cottage at Kirkby Malham was absolutely wonderful, it exceeded our expectations of holiday homes by a mile! The cottage was very comfortable, luxuriously presented and equipped with great care and attention given to the extra details - flowers, beer and milk left to welcome us on our arrival, DVD's , books and games to fill our time (if needed0, maps and information books, very detailed folder of information about the cottage and the locality to help us get our bearings and enjoy our stay. The visitor gets the impression that the owners of the cottage have enjoyed presenting the property and want those staying there to enjoy it. Thank you so much, we will return!
