"A wonderful stay at wayside farm cottage in muker, a well equipped and very comfortable stay in a beautiful village in the dales."
Wonderful walks incredibly close by, falling asleep to the sound of the waterfall outside the cottage, incredible internet speed if you wanting to connect or work while away, great for any family plenty of rooms to put your feet up after a long walk or out in the dales and catch up on your favourite tv show. great working washing/dryer and dishwasher to help your stay be as laid back as possible. we happened to leave an item behind and contacted the owner who was incredibly kind and send our item immediately back the next day, thank you Chris and thanks for a wonderful stay! highly recommend and look forward to staying again very soon.

"We have had a lovely time in Muker, we were delighted to be able to stay in a lovely cosy cottage."
For me personally, Muker has many childhood memories and it had been 15+ years since I last visited. I was so thrilled when I was able to relive the experience that Muker and surrounding beauty has to offer. The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed. We shall most certainly be visiting again.
Hi Dale . Thanks so much for your kind feedback . Sounds like you know Muker .well. It must be wonderful to have childhood memories built from such a special place . I am also glad that you found the cottage cosy and inviting and that we were able to offer you all you needed .to enjoy your trip . We very much look forward to welcoming you again Best Wishes Chris Property Owner

"Lovely comfortable cottage."
Great location for exploring the Dales. Walks from Muker into the Dales. Didn’t want to come home.

"It was great."
The only noticeable area of improvement is that when we have stayed in other Sykes cottages there has been a bottle of milk in the fridge. Luckily it was a time and day when the village shop was open,, but some milk would be good. Other properties have even provided a bottle of wine. The sachets of coffee provided had a Use By Date that was about 8 or 9 months old. Also some shampoo:shower gel would be useful. That said everything g else was fine. It was good to have washing machine and dishwasher and everything worked. Beds and bedding were excellent. The description on the website is silent on the garden, but should probably say that there isn’t one. It is also slightly misleading about the parking, which is a very narrow headstand jutting out into the road so if you have a large or wide car you may need to park in the public parking (£15 per week).

"The cottage is in a wonderful position in a glorious Dales village."
The facilities were comfortable - especially the beds. We could have done with a bit more wood and kindling for the two stoves as well as some oven gloves. That being said, the cottage was warm and the communication with the owners was faultless. We will certainly be booking again!
Hi there Thank you for taking the time to offer feedback. It is good that you enjoyed the location as it is so beautiful . I agree the beds and peace are very conducive to a great nights sleep ! I am sorry though that no oven gloves were left for you, they should have been available for you so apologies . We do leave a starter pack of fuel for the stoves , but glad that the cottage was cosy anyway. So glad you are returning to us and look forward to hearing from you again Chris Property Owner

"Wayside Farm is a beautiful cottage."
It was like a home away from home with everything you could possibly need. We loved the snug area with the log fire on. The is two lovely spacious bedrooms with en suites and a cosy room with bunk beds that my children loved. There is no phone reception in the village, which suited us so we could switch off for a few days, but there is reliable wi-fi in the cottage if needed. We had a great stay and look forward to returning.

Tasteful, traditional, comfortable, cosy and warm in a beautiful location. Well equipped kitchen and great information folder provided. Walks in every direction straight out of front door. Amazing scenery. Beautiful village. What more can you say - this is the prefect place and location for a walking or relaxing break in the Yorkshire dales. Absolutely faultless.

Thwaite 1 mile; Reeth 8.9 miles; Richmond 25.5 miles
Muker is a village and civil parish at the western end of Swaledale, one of the Yorkshire Dales, in North Yorkshire, England. It is situated within the district of Richmondshire. From the late 19th century, Muker witnessed an increasing number of visitors and holiday makers, and today the village boasts many walking opportunities, with a selection of public footpaths in Upper Swaledale. Muker also hosts a village shop, a pub - The Farmers Arms, as well as an art gallery, craft shop and a café within the old school building. Originally the Vicarage, the Muker village tea shop was built in 1680 and retains much of its 'Olde worlde charm' today. A Park Information Point for the Yorkshire Dales National Park can be found at the Muker Village shop. The village has one church; the Parish Church of Saint Mary, a Grade II* listed building. The River Swale runs parallel to the village, with Kisden Hill offering a charming backdrop.
