Stable Cottage

Beautiful and tranquil location.

The site is very relaxing and safe and the staff are exceptionally friendly, helpful and accommodating. It’s our second visit to stables and once again we’ve had an enjoyable stay. This is thanks to the high-quality service provided and the wonderful owners and staff. Thank you and we will definitely be visiting again.

Lovely peaceful stay in a beautiful setting.

Very comfortable property. WiFi was listed as being intermittent but no problems encountered.

Stable cottage is beautiful and comfortable.

Extra little details make it extra special. Set in lovely natural country park with lovely views it's peaceful, quiet and private. This was our second stay and we will be there again.

Absolutely lovely setting.

Very peaceful and tranquil. Wonderful cottage.

5 star property.

I've stayed in many holiday cottages and this comes very near the top. Owners were very thoughtful. Bed so comfy felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. I'm a light sleepy so found the wonderfully light rooms a challenge will take an eye mask next time!!! Having the nature trail to walk the dog was a true bonus. Would highly recommend.

Very tranquil and quiet

Fantastic week away.

Cottage is lovely and in a great location. The owners ensured everything was ok and even gave us some advice about local attractions. Our dog loved the paths around the fields. 10/10

Stable Cottage was as advertised.

Supported by a helpful Management Team that provided clear instructions for arrival. They also provided a lovely Welcome Pack on arrival. The kitchen was well equipped and the underfloor heating ensured that the property was always warm. Our grandchildren loved the animals and were delighted to be able to ‘assist’ at feeding time. Overall, a great experience and the property met all of our needs. We would definitely stay again if in the area.

We really enjoyed our stay in Stable Cottage.

Although the location was great we hadn't realised that the property was close to a static caravan park.This didn't pose a problem ....just a surprise when we arrived.A great location for families as donkeys...ponies...goats and alpacas were our neighbours!

We enjoyed our stay at Stable Cottage.

Located in a beautiful tranquil setting we found the the cottage comfortable and relaxing. Ideal location for touring the Yorkshire Dales and South Lakes. Also enjoyed doing the local woodland walks.

The stables are beautiful across from them are goats donkeys ponys and a pig.

The underfloor heating seemed to run a bit warm but over all a fantastic experience

Lovely cottage on a quiet park.

Very tranquil. Cottage was very clean and well equipped. Very comfortable. Will be booking again.

Lovely cottage fitted out to a very good specification on a really nice and secure holiday park.

In a nice country setting with farm animals and lovely views aplenty plus really friendly and helpful staff and owners. Even the October weather played ball.

Lovely location, well equipped cottage.

Comfortable and well maintained. We had a good welcome at reception. We hope to be back.

We've just returned from a brilliant holiday at Stable Cottage.

The accommodation was perfect for our party of 3 adults and 1dog. The dog thoroughly enjoyed his woodland walks, but didn't like the donkeys!! Great place for day trips out too. Just 1 niggle, why no frying pan?, just a deep wok that spun round on the hob. Otherwise very well equipped.

THE STAFF WAS SO HELPFUL when we arrived we arrived early but our cottage was ready for us very clean the TV was not working when we arrived and the staff came but could not fix it so they called the firm who came out 2 days later because it was the weekend and got it on all the staff was so friendley thank you to all the staff for making it a great holiday p/swe needed a new tin opener which they sent for one .

thank you very much peter and beryl

Great location, well equipped and comfortable bungalow, country walks just outside great for pets.

We were more than happy with our stay in Stable Cottage even though the weather didn’t play ball, it didn’t stop us getting out & about.

Every thing was there to make your stay easy & enjoy able… As far as we are concerned the the only down side we’re the settee & the soft chairs were far to low for us getting in & out of, being senior citizens.

Our third visit and hope to visit again next year.

Nice and warm and cosy over the Christmas week. Thank you for making the cottage Christmassy for me and my family to enjoy.

Our 5th visit to this cottage.

Lovely quiet place to stay. Cottage well equipped and very warm and comfortable..

Wonderful area of Yorkshire/Lancashire and the setting is beautiful and peaceful.

The cottage is really comfortable and suited our needs. Our disabled daughter accompanied us and access was good. The double bedroom shower worked better for her than the twin room. All good, we'll come back.

Really lovely cottage, very helpful staff, great welcome biscuits, fab view.

Thanks for a lovely stay.

Lovely cottage and setting.

We really relaxed and enjoyed our stay. Hope to be back next year.

Ideal location for myself, wife, dog and 92 yr old mother spending a fortnight exploring the Yorkshire Dales.

Really well equipped and comfortable cottage. Staff at the centre are extremely friendly and helpful. A lovely stay.

A cracking little cottage, perfect for what I needed.

I spent a very relaxed week here, enjoying the peace and quiet, the sounds of nature immediately outside, and the very well appointed cottage. The cottage had everything I needed, and everything I used worked with no problems. If I had to find a gripe (I always do!!), the cooker hob has been cleaned a bit too vigorously in the past and the markings for which knob controls which ring are now gone, but it's hardly the end of the world! I will gladly stay here again.

This our 4th visit to Stable cottage.

We love it all the area, accessibility and the cottage itself. We will return when we can.

Me & my best friend met at Goodenbergh over 15 years ago, and decided to return for a little trip to revisit a place we made so many happy memories in.

The cottage was beautiful, and really lived up to what we had always imagined it was like inside (when we watched it being renovated). It was all nicely furnished & clean when we arrived - with a few little bits to enhance the stay (extra kitchen roll, washing powder etc). One issue with the property was that we found the showers didn't work super well. We couldn't use the showers at the same time, due to one using all the water pressure & one taking all the heat. But we did figure this out after our first full day so it wasn't too much of a problem. We did also have a little issue with an interaction with a staff member on the farm. The two ponies onsite were in the field directly across from us, and while we were sat outside they poked their heads through the fence. We went over to give them a stroke and a lady working the farm shouted at us to 'stop feeding the horses'. Her tone was quite condescending and accusatory, quite frankly. We replied that we weren't feeding them, and she then stated that there were 'carrots all over the field' that morning. Again, we replied that it wasn't us and that we didn't even have any carrots! I think we would have been fine if there was an apology, but it did ruin our evenings a little bit. Every other member of staff we interacted with was lovely and this did not effect our trip too much - just a flag that because we are two young women, we are sure we got the blame solely for this reason. We will absolutely return, hopefully in the summer to try and relive a portion of our six week holidays! Thank you so much for the amazing stay - we can't wait to be back ❤️

Bad points - Hob antiquated, slow to heat and knobs unreadable to select which ring to use.

Rooflights need cleaning. Some doors scrape the tiled floor, irritating. Sink plug in twin room was caked with years of grime and blocking draining so I cleaned it. All ok now. Double Room - Round basin plug doesnt stayed closed. No instructions for washing machine. No instructions of where bins were located. Good points - All very good apart from above.

Great little property exceeded expectations would highly recommend

stable cottage is a delight, warm.

comfortable and well equipped. The peace and tranquility is wonderful. I was worried about being on a caravan site but this proved groundless as your caravan park is wonderful a true haven. n.b the lights under the kitchen units , some of the bulbs need replacing and the battery in the kitchen scales is missing, other than that everything was perfect. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

very clean and equipped to a very high standard

We were very impressed with the standard of the cottage and its surroundings, we have one criticism , the hob was out dated and very slow which meant we had to eat out for most meals that is the only issue we have,otherwise it was a lovely stay.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful setting.

We enjoyed the woodland trails around the Estate and the children loved the play areas in the woods. The site is very well kept and peaceful, we enjoyed visiting the various animals each day.

The Cottage was very comfortable and well furnished, it's position and outlook was really good along with the walks around the site.

We would definitely recommend it.

The Reception staff very nice and welcoming.

Sally went above and beyond regarding a query we had and Graham what a lovely caring and kind gentleman. We would come and stay her again.

We received a very warm welcome on our arrival from the team who were obviously trying their best to pull everything together during staff holiday and illness.

The cottage was ideal for our needs and offered easy access to coastal towns, scenic hill drives, independent museums and specialist food cafes and outlets to name but a few. The team were very easy to contact and our initial teething problems were quickly addressed. The accommodation is in a very quiet location and I felt the cottage offered an ideal opportunity to relax. The site offers a charming Woodland Walk with an associated quiz leaflet suitable for all ages to help the understanding of the nature that surrounds the cottage. The novelty of having quietly grazing horses, ponies, the lama and (“Houdini” the forever escaping) goat visible from our cottage windows offered delightful daily distraction. On days we want to dine at home, the kitchen was well equipped to allow me to offer a respectable meal and the en-suite bedrooms have comfortable beds, very spacious wardrobe hanging and drawer storage, bedside units and handy drawer storage within the dressing table units. The option of having both bedrooms with separate en-suite facilities allowed my Father to feel he could relax and retire for privacy when he wished if he needed to have time to himself. It was a joy to sit outside the cottage within the enclosed garden area, enjoy the hillside views and watch the variety of bird life and occasional conversations with people walking past. We found plenty to see and do whin easy driving distances of the local area, the green fields, soft hillside valleys and farm animals in fields abound. The lakes are an hours drive away, spectacular scenery of Malham Cove, Hardknott, Wrynose, Eskdale passes and Duddon valley offered gasps around every corner. Local specialist cheese and delicatessen suppliers, artisan ice cream and local cafes and pubs had very amenable staff and local delicacies to satisfy every foodies appetite. A number of Waterfall walks are on offer to suit all abilities, beautiful quaint village architecture is around every corner, streamside picnic spots, cafes, steam train rides, the Lakeland Motor Museum, Lancaster’s Cathedral and Maritime Museum delights await !

We are still here as I type, came up here for over the new year, very peaceful.

There's everything in the house you'd need for your stay, Internet, TV, comfy beds etc, obviously apart from food. Nice house to stay in if you like to be away from everything.

Lovely cottage.

Very warm better control of heating would be good to stop it getting too warm. Really enjoyed our stay and will return.

The cottage was so good we could NOT find fault with anything

I would have liked the instructions for the Oven and Hob.

Maybe it's just me but I eventually worked things out. The controls seemed counter intuitive to me - but maybe it's just my age! We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Stable Cottage and will certainly recommend Sykes Cottages to our friends.

Lovely setting and felt at home as soon as you walked through the door.

Lovely cottage lovely area one down side settee to low older people would find hard to rise from they could do with up dating pictures of the lounge

The cottage was in a quiet location which we really enjoyed, the facilities were brilliant and a home from home.

The underfloor heating made sure the autumn nights were cosy.

You suggested we order from sainsburys for our weekly shop.

Lovely that you link directly and fill in the postcode. EXCEPT IT WAS THE WRONG ONE SO WE GOT NO FOOD!!

Peaceful and comfortable, and a convenient centre for the southern Dales area.

...and within easy reach of the M6 and the Lakes. Some advantages of the facilities here were the separated bedrooms, each en suite with generous showers; also the parking space at the door. Interesting that no mention was made of the extensive lodge complex behind us...but it didn't in fact impinge at all and the on-site staff were helpful.

fan in en-suite main bedroom not working reported on first day of holiday still not repaired when left.

The cottage was perfect in an ideal location for exploring the wonderful countryside and having an enclosed courtyard and lovely walks from the doorstep made a big difference.

The kitchen was well equipped with more than everything you need and a really comfy bed.

Everything was ok , apart from television needed attention on leaving we were told this was being looked into , otherwise cottage was well equipped warm and comfortable.

This was our second visit to Stable Cottage and as last time all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful - nothing too much trouble.

A beautiful setting and cottage well equipped. We hope to be back next year.

On arriving at cottage where a friend of ours had previously visited were they had a welcome pack, there was no welcome pack, we checked the comments book to find that visitors before us had a welcome pack, I enquired about this and was told that they no longer do a welcome pack since the new owners had taken over, The underfloor heating isn’t working and there are comments going back a couple of years in the comment book to say it’s not working?

The location is so peaceful in lovely surroundings, with Donkeys, Alpacca, Shetland Ponies, Goat s and Boar right outside.

the front door. The walks are excellent and our Jack Russell Sam, thoroughly enjoyed himself. An ideaLlocation for touring around about, Lancaster, Carnforth, Arnside,Silverdale,Ingleton Settle, Kirby Lonsdale, Skipton. Clitheroe and The Lakes, all within easy travelling distances by car, and the local hostelries are welcoming and serve excellent meals. All in all, so good, we have already booked here again for later this year.

Our holiday was amazing!

The cottage exceeded our expectations, the location was perfect for our Christmas get away We will definitely look to book again

Great cottage and facilities.

Would recommend.

The cottage was very well equipped, warm and clean.

The animals added to the interest, and our small torque enjoyed his walks round the site. We will book again next year.

Stable Cottage is great, but we missed a coats stand.

We love walking, which we did every single day because of the good weather and the stunning surroundings.in brief, we had a wonderful time. By the way, we had a pub lunch every day, which is definately part of rhe fun.

Sykes need to tell customers that there will be not be anyone on reception if they arrive after 4pm and they will have a problem getting the key for the cottage,there’s no mention of this in your arrival details.

The cottage is lovely but no way of drying towels if the weather is bad as there are no heated towel rails and no dryer.Having said that everything else was spot on.

Lovely situation with extraordinary weather for the area.

Staff were very friendly and extremely helpful (2 small hiccups sorted right away). Would have no hesitation in recommend it to friends. The whole park is very well run and we thoroughly enjoyed our week.

Lovely cottage, would love to go back.

If you have children they will love being so close to the animals - horses, goats, alpaca - literally outside the cottage.

Positives - Cottage all on one level; very relaxing and quiet. In the summer there is a lovely place to sit out. In fact we managed to sit out one day as the sun was lovely. Negatives - For someone who's disabled, I did find this cottage hard in that both the showers had a step up of almost 6 inches which, for me was too high and both the toilets were too low. The toilet in the ensuite in the twin bedroom - be careful that you don't bump your head on the cupboard (speaking for experience). Hopefully there will be a new microwave for the next tenants. When we arrived the microwave was broken (we did report it). Not enough side plates or forks. No extra toilet rolls or soap and shower gel - or are we just spoilt by other owners of cottages we've stayed at. For groceries there is a co-op in Bentham and in Kirby Lonsdale there is a shop. In my opinion a Country Park Shop selling milk and bread would be an added extra to the site, which was very clean and well kept.

Tho the weather wasn't very kind to us, the cottage was superb.

Animals on the farm were a delight. Staff were very informative about the surrounding areas and couldn't have been more helpful. Absolutely loved it. Big thank you.

Need to inprove functionality when searching for group bookings / multiple properties / single location

Absolutely gorgeous cottage and lovely people that own it.

Made us feel very welcome. My daughter left her teddy bear there and before we'd even got home they had called to say they'd post it back. Excellent service. Can not recommend this cottage enough. We didn't want to leave.

The post code in the directions to the property is not accepted by Sat Navs

Scenery, piece, watching the animals, woodland walk, so quite.
