"This is our second visit to ‘The Grooms Cottage’."
When we stayed in July 2024 we were blown away with how lovely the cottage was. We looked at other accommodation in Yorkshire for this year’s visit but came to the decision that we loved it last year why not again. It didn’t disappoint. The cottage itself is lovely and great base for exploring surrounding areas. Kids love the homely feel and have asked if we can come back next year. I think it’s a testament to the owners and the warmth and care they bring to making your holiday that little bit special.

"This is our 4th visit to Grooms cottage and as always it's been superb."
It is a credit to the owner as always there is everything you need. To sit outside in the evening in the quiet of the countryside is blissful. Also your not far from some lovely town's and villages. Will be back again next year
-
"Always great to up to Grooms Cottage."
We have been going for the past couple of years now and it gets us away from the Rat Race of daily life. The property owner is a fantastic person and always there if needed. The property has more than you need and it’s like going from home to home for us.
-

"A fantastic property-all the comforts of home!"
Jo has created a relaxing haven in the countryside but near enough to local areas such as Market Weighton,Beverly and York. Our second visit-We are sure it won’t be our last .
-
"This is our 3rd visit,and like before we enjoyed our stay."
Every room was spotlessly clean. The peace and quiet was lovely.And to see the birds and wildlife is marvellous. The whole place is a credit to the owner and yes we,ll be back again.

"Spacious comfortable cottage in a quiet location ideal for exploring the Yorkshire Wolds."
We loved the log burner, quality beds, bedding and towels, modern shower rooms and 4 smart TVs. Spotlessly clean. Would recommend for a relaxing holiday base.

"Groom’s Cottage is a beautiful property."
We have stayed here several times and always find it a comfortable and relaxing retreat to return to at the end of a busy day. It’s spacious, warm and well equipped.
-
"The cottage was spacious, well maintained and comfortable."
Had everything we needed.Loved the under floor heating, it kept the place nice and warm. A good base for walking in the Yorkshire Wolds.
-
"This is our 4th time coming up from Leeds just to get away from daily life and work."
We always enjoying coming here and enjoying the silence. The owner is always there to help with anything as is very approachable. Here’s to the 5th time at the end of March we love it that much

"Fabulous cottage, spotlessly clean and in a great country location."
We returned on our second visit, for the peacefulness and the warmth of the log burner.
-
"One of the best properties I've stayed in."
Excellent fixtures and furniture. Fast internet. Spacious parking. Can recommend that Fiddle Drill cafe at Goodmanham, but also the Madhyamaka Kadampa cafe in a Buddhist meditation centre with pleasant grounds to stroll around near Kilnwck.
-
"Comfortable, warm, everything you need and very homely ideal for a relaxing break."
-
"GROOM'S is a great holiday home and oozes warmth, comfort and welcome."
Even in winter it's like being held in a cosy hug. Prepared and maintained to a high standard. This is my second visit and there will be more. Jo's careful thought and attention to detail is excellent. Thank you, Jo.
-
"An excellent warm, comfortable and convenient base for exploring the area!"
-
"Our 3rd visit to Grooms Cottage, that says it all."
I don’t think there is anything that needs to be changed. The standard that Groom’s delivers sets is the bar that we now measure all our other properties that we stay in. I must thank Jo & her friend very much for standard that the cottage was presented yet again. We will be back in 2026.
-
"Definitely the nicest cottage we have stayed in."
It’s just perfect. We shared a relaxing few days with friends who loved the cottage and surrounding countryside as much as we did. The large well equipped kitchen diner was ideal for sociable meals and the two sofa lounge perfect for a bit of TV afterwards. The beds are really really comfy too!
-
"Another lovely week here , it’s like home from home the cottage has everything ..."

"A very modern spacious up market cottage."
Run by a lovely friendly attentive owner. A perfect break. It was spotless,
-
"Booked the cottage for a family wedding in the area and it did not disappoint."
Outstanding 5 star accommodation, couldn’t fault a thing. Warm and welcoming and fitted out to a high standard. Two big bedrooms perfect for two couples but would be just as perfect for a family of four. Excellent value for money. Jo was a wonderful host , on hand if needed but not intrusive even letting us stay in the cottage longer on our last day while we waited for the AA to come and mend the car. Highly recommend and hope to return one day
-
"This was our second visit this year - and it was just as wonderful as the first."
The property is super clean and comfortable, with everything you could need. Peaceful location but near to local amenities - and plenty of places to visit without going too far if you don’t want to.
-
"On arriving at the beautiful property, we immediately knew it was calm and peaceful."
The Grooms Cottage is all and more besides what is advertised. Immaculately presented, so clean and cosy. The owner is so knowledgeable and so lovely to talk to. We visited many places of interest to us, and, we will definitely return, the sooner the better. Thanks to Jo. X
-
"Ace cottage with everything we needed!"
-
"Could not have wished for a better place to stay."
A real home from home with luxury touches that you’d be hard pressed to find anywhere else. Highly recommended!
-
"The groom’s cottage was very cosy and comfortable, always warm."
The owner was helpful when needed but not intrusive. The area is very quiet and with far-reaching views, a perfect place to relax and refresh the soul and body.
-
"The perfect holiday cottage."
No more needs to be said.
-
"Very well appointed and comfortable property, far enough into the countryside to be away but still close enough to to the things you need such as groceries, restaurants, takeaways, pubs etc."
Plenty of space and all the facilities you need for a holiday home. A great base to use for exploring East Yorkshire and the Coast.
-
"We have just returned from a family 4 day break at Groom's cottage."
We had contacted Jo prior to our arrival and it was obvious from her texts that she was very welcoming. Gave advice of local supermarket and places to eat out which was a great help. On our arrival we were thrilled to see that what was shown online was actually correct. The cottage was beautiful and well maintained. It was very obvious that ALOT of work had gone into the cottage and it was decorated to a very high standard. Welcome pack was a lovely touch. The cottage is off the main road but is exactly what you need after a busy day out. We loved on an evening watching the hares and rabbits run about, an owl on one occasion and some bats. We would recommend anyone to choose this cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Yorkshire and a big part of this was our base to relax in.
-
"Stayed at Grooms cottage again."
Have been several times now. It's a lovely peaceful cottage and the owner is super nice. It's the best place we have stayed by far.
-
"The Groom’s Cottage was superb - the property was spotlessly clean, and had everything we could possibly need."
The beds were comfortable and the en suite showers were excellent. There was plenty to do in the area, we ran out of time to do everything we wanted! Would definitely recommend and we will most certainly be back.
-
"It's the second time we've stayed in as many months and again the cottage was spotless and so cozy and comfortable,just like being at home."
You know straight away when you walk in its going to be first rate. Also were its situated is superb, no noise only the birds and the odd vehicle, so relaxing. So hopefully we will visit again in the future.
-
"Faultless - thank you."
-
"A beautifully designed cottage in a lovely rural country location."
The cottage is immaculate, with classic sturdy fixtures and fittings, and well equipped. It is worthy of the 5 star rating; a credit to Jo and her Husband! We would definitely stay again. Andrea, Steve & Harry
-
"Excellent cottage, very clean and has all the amenities we could have wished for."
A quiet and peaceful location and a great base for walking in The Wolds and visiting the coast.
-
"Wow! What an impressive property-all the amenities you could ask for -a perfect home from home."
Joanna in creating this property has set her standards at 5 star. The location was quiet and rural set next to a farm a perfect getaway. It was ideally located to access the local areas of York and Beverley and the coastal areas. Finally Joanna was an excellent host always on hand if needed- The perfect escape-we will be back !!!!
-
"Had a very lovely comfortable weekend stay in this beautiful cottage."
Would love to come back again as there is so much to see and do in that region. Thank you!
-
"Wow! What an absolutely stunning property, we were very sad to leave and will definitely be returning."
Everything was pristine, and it was such a lovely layout. The kitchen was a dream and it had everything we needed to cook all our meals (which is often not the case!) The TV in every room was certainly a nice surprise, it all felt so luxurious from the bedding to the bathrooms and the automatic light in the walk in wardrobe in the master bedroom was fabulous! The box of toys for our baby to play with for the week was such a nice touch and very useful!! Thank you so much, we will be back!
-
"As soon as we walked in we felt at home."
The kitchen is superb,plenty of space and enough cooking and eating utensils The living room is snug and cosy and very clean. Upstairs the bedrooms are huge with plenty of storage and very comfortable beds with shower rooms that would shame most hotels. The cottage is situated in the countryside and is quiet and peaceful with some lovely long walks.Finally the owner was ever so friendly and helpful. We enjoyed staying so much we booked for another break in a few weeks time.

"Was our second stay at cottage and as before we could not fault it."

"Another lovely stay."
This is a beautiful cottage which we enjoyed sharing with friends, the kitchen/diner is a lovely sociable space. The lounge was cosy and the sofas comfortable. We slept really well in the excellent beds. Just perfect again.
-
"Thanks to Joanna again, we have stayed multiple times."
It's really tranquil and the owner is super nice, wish her so much luck with her two new cottages as she has paid attention to every detail to make the stay very comfortable. Lovely again, just superb.

"The house was delightful."
It had the best of both Worlds, being both isolated, but not too far from the nearest town. The house was exceptionally clean and comfortable; fully recommend staying!
-
"Absolutely beautiful cottage in a lovely quiet area of the Yorkshire Wolds."

The fixtures & fittings are all done to a high standard. The cottage was spotless. Peace and quiet prevailed. 5 stars ⭐️
-
"We stayed in this property for 4 nights."
The property is very comfortable, well equipped, in immaculate condition and very clean. The owner was very friendly and helpful and there is ample parking. The nearest village, with a pub and cafe is a 5 minute drive away (40 minute walk) along a narrow single track road and Market Weighton is another 5 minutes drive where you will find a Tesco and numerous pubs, restaurants and take aways. It's a good base to explore East Yorkshire, less than an hour to the coast and York is close by too. Overall I would thoroughly recommend this property.
-
"Lovely clean and homely cottage, with excellent facilities."
Cottage located in an area with lots to explore. Perfect holiday cottage to escape to.
-
"This is a nice comfortable cottage with hotel standard bathrooms."
There are a couple things not mentioned in the given information about the accommodation, firstly it is beside a country road with a cars, lorries and farm vehicles use, secondly and very much more important, the water for cottage is from a bore hole, those who have any vulnerability need to be aware. This information is given in pack once you have arrived which was a bit late for my husband and I, we were unwell for couple days. The owner was very apologetic and assured us water was treated and filtered. We were just unlucky, so go with plenty of bottled water. Lovely friendly owners with three very quiet young children rarely seen or heard.
-
"Difficult to say anything other than perfect."
The property fulfilled all our needs to enjoy a lovely holiday. First class.
-
"What a gorgeous property, in such a peaceful setting."
Everything in the cottage you could wish for and so quiet. We will definitely be going back. It is perfectly situated to explore so many towns and villages and we'll probably take the bikes next time. Thank you to the owner.
-
"Great location for our needs."
Lovely and quiet. Cottage was very spacious and well equipped. We would stay again.
-
"Absolutely fabulous."
This is by far the best accommodation my husband and I have ever stayed in, and we have been self-catering for many years. Everthing was perfect, from the well equipped kitchen - such high quality fixtures and utensils - to the wonderfully comfortable beds. The sheets and pillows are better than I have at home! The en-suite shower rooms also exceeded expectation, again with fitxures of the highest quality. A very quiet location within easy reach of many villages, towns and cities. And the host Joanna was very pleasant and helpful. All in all a 5*+ cottage, which I cannot recommend highly enough. Find an excuse to stay there and you won't want to go home.
-
"This was my first visit to a Sykes cottage and I was very impressed with the Groom's Cottage."
It was very well appointed, very cosy and comfortable with a high standard of cleanliness. It more than met my expectations and I would stay there again. Thank you Joanna for a lovely friendly welcome to Yorkshire.
-

"Lovely cottage Lovely location."
Very high standard like walking into a new property. Very mod cons. Nice welcome pack. Log burner was an added bonus. Would visit again.
-
"Superb host."
Superb accommodation. I can’t recommend this cottage highly enough.
-
"We knew this property was going to be good from the photos, but in practice it exceeded our best expectations."
It was very warm, comfortable and well equipped, as well as the provision of good quality bed linen and thick towels such as you would expect in a top class hotel. We really didn't want to leave! Unfortunately we missed out on booking this cottage for the Christmas week as well and had to move on to another cottage. This reinforced just how good The Groom's Cottage is and it was extremely hard not to make comparisons. We look forward to returning.
-

Dark skies, so the stars on a warm clear night are amazing. The owners are lovely and we hope to come back again soon.
-
"Second time staying here!"
Beautiful property and very accommodating owners :) we’ll be back again soon! Thanks!!
-
"A beautiful comfortable cottage, we had a lovely few days at the cottage which is one of the best we have ever stayed in, very clean , couldnt fault it."
Amazing kitchen so well equiped and a great welcome pack including soya milk for me ......first time this has ever been offered .....thankyou. Bedrooms were great and lovely ensuites, so nice to have . A full length mirror in the far bedroom would be useful. Friendly hosts on hand to help if needed, lovely setting and plenty of parking. We drove to York and used the park and ride which was very easy and also visited the Railway Musuem and York Minster plus the Shambles shops . So much to do in York , we wish we could have stayed longer. Recommend the fish and chips in Market Weighton. We would certainly stay here again if in the area , overall a great time and would recommend Grooms Cottage
-
"The property was beautiful!"

-
"Amazing new cottage overlooking the beauty of East Yorkshire with fantastic hosts Mike & Jo."
One of the best places we've ever stayed.
-
"We loved our stay so much we could easily have moved in so will definitely be booking to stay again."
We stayed for a week and felt very comfortable, everything was spotless and had all the facilities we needed including lots of extras in the kitchen cupboards such as baking trays, cheese grater and spare tea towel. It had an easy to use washing machine which was great for us being able to pack clean clothes to take back instead of having to do it once home. Our beds were excellent and we enjoyed being able to watch TV in bed early morning with our toddler like we do at home. The owners were available if needed and were very welcoming with 2 very friendly dogs who came to say hello to my little girl which she loved. Its located on their working farm but they didn't wake us or disturb us in any way it was generally very peaceful and lovely to hear the birds singing. The cottage is located a short car journey from Market Weighton which had several take aways and a little supermarket which we used and the local pub in Goodmanham was lovely for a couple of drinks and peaceful in their garden to.the side which had a little children's area. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend, thanks for making our stay so comfortable and also our little welcome pack which was very thoughtful
Thank you so much for your lovely comments and we look forward to welcoming you back! Property Owner
