"We had a lovely stay at the cottage as two families, there was enough of everything we needed."
For our own set up, the sleeping arrangements were a little bit awkward as one of the double rooms is approached by a separate set of stairs to the other bedrooms; so both sets of parents couldn't listen out for their own children at night. But for different family sets ups such as going with grandparents or with older kids I'm sure it would be perfect. The owners were really helpful - There was a problem with the shower system, but they were straight on with sorting it out, and even invited all 8 of us to use the showers at their own home nextdoor until the plumber arrived the next day.

"The property was clean and comfortable and full of extras in the kitchen which was a great help."
The outside garden and seating area gives a place for relaxing, eating or just a few minutes solitude. Having travelled with 4 children of differing ages this cottage was spot on. The play area and cattle for the little ones and the football pitch and games room kept our tonnage grandson amused as did the trampolines. The layout of the bedrooms meant that we, the grandparents, could keep separate to the two families at night time and the large dining room meant we could come together at mealtimes.
The surrounding area has lots for families to do and for us one delight was the pass to Dalby forest. We used this and discovered great value days out. Everyone asked to return again.
We encountered one problem but do not believe the owner can rectify it but did not ask. One morning due to lack of water pressure we had no flushing toilets. From that morning the shower in the en-suite bathroom only ran at a tap speed, lovely and hot but only just enough pressure to make the shower work.
We hope to return again. First class accommodation. Thank you

"The cottage was ok but needed a very good clean."
The tv screen and mirror in the lounge were covered in finger prints, the tv remote had to be cleaned before we could use it. Some of the furnishings are tatty. The outside area had chalk writing over the patio area, an overflowing ashtray on the table and bits of rubbish strewn about. Some of kitchen equipment needs replacing. The frying pans are only fit for the bin. Not enough wine glasses and they are all mismatched. Cooker hood lights didn't work nor did the two sockets near the cooker. The toaster fused the electrics. The bedrooms were nice and the beds comfy with nice quality bed linen. A bedside lamp in the triple room didn't work.
This is the first time we have been disappointed with a Sykes letting, a shame really as with a bit more care and attention it could be lovely.

Cottage was massive and in a great spot for visiting very pretty nearby villages and bigger towns of Scarborough and Whitby.

Bed rooms were great size although configuration wouldn't work for some. Old fashioned decor but fine for us.

Very comfortable, and newly decorated, with everything we needed. Plenty of room for our party of 6, and the two dogs. Had to resort to the woodburner on chillier evenings -- couldn't crack the Enigma Code of the central heating, and simpler instructions might be handy for autumn/winter visitors. But that's a small quibble. Allerston is a quiet village, with an excellent pub at the top of the road. Easy access to Scarborough, Whitby, Pickering, Helmsley and the moors.

"Beautiful cottage with plenty of parking on a working farm which we all loved especially when we went to see the cows in the barn!"
The owners were very helpful and friendly and live next door which is ideal if you have any problems.
We walked into a fabulously sized kitchen with buns and a loaf of bread waiting for us - delicious. The only thing we found was there wasn't quite enough serving bowls, we had a party of 8 so were doing a lot of food and found we were struggling to find bowls to serve food up in but that is literally the only criticism.
The pool table was a big hit especially with the 2 teenagers we had with us and the 8 year old loved the little door between the bedrooms! Having 2 rooms with a double bed and a single bed is ideal when you have smaller children so they can be in the same room as you.
Overall we had a great weekend celebrating our sons 18th birthday and would definitely come again as it's only an hour from home and we regularly visit Dalby forest anyway so it was great to have it on the doorstep.
I would definitely recommend Boundcliff farm

"Spent a week at the property as part of a family celebration."
We were greeted by the welcoming smell of freshly baked bread, and a homemade cake. It was an interesting property with unique features, like the little door connecting two of the bedrooms. Overall everything was clean but some parts were tired. All bedding was clean & fresh. As we went at the start of the new season we would have expected everything to be fresh from winter repairs. The drawer in the kitchen, left of the cooker, was broken. The main double bedroom had a curtain rail with a broken middle support & various curtain hooks missing. The shower cubicle door we felt was marked such that it could be best replaced. The pool table has seen better days, & had an interesting fall to one end! A throw on the back of the settee hides a hole in the back cushion. As the week proceeded it was found that the bathroom toilet had a leak, thankfully it seemed to be clear water. The property was ideally located for visits to the coast and North York moors. There were many well signed local walks, including one across the fields to the Grapes at Ebberston. The local pub, The Cayley Arms is worth a visit.

"The cottage was very good for our week away."
The owner had left us a nice cake and a freshly baked loaf for our arrival which was a nice touch.
The wifi was not as good as we would have hoped - one of our party had to submit work for his OU course whilst we were away and that proved difficult. In one sense it is a shame one has to take laptops away on holiday but often you want to use the internet for holiday-related purposes like checking the times of high tide, the location of dog friendly pubs, and the opening times of places to visit, etc. so a good wifi signal is becoming a must-have.
The only other improvements we felt the property could benefit from would be a better dishwasher. Having the electric socket immediately above the hob seemed to be dangerous.....
Otherwise it was very good.
We like the Sykes search facility where you can see the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, not just say you want a property for a set number of people.
