Wethercote Cottage

Stunning location and views, very peaceful.

Cottage was absolutely gorgeous and very cosy. Well equipped and very clean. If you want somewhere remote with no through traffic this is the place. Greeted by the owner on arrival and they checked everything was ok later in the week. Would highly recommend if you want to chill out, read or just spend some quality time with friends or family.

Comfortable, well-presented cottage in a peaceful location.

The cottage had everything we needed for our stay. There are lots of good walks from the cottage and Thirsk is handy for a range of facilities. Would definitely visit again. The owners were helpful but unobtrusive.

A lovely cottage perfect for exploring Yorkshire, with a warm farming welcome, we really enjoyed our stay (family of 4) and hope to return to carry on exploring the local countryside, thank you !

Marvellous stay as always, friendly and welcoming, perfect week.

Fabulous place extremely helpful with everything.

Fantastic cosy cottage, which was lovely and warm throughout.

Very well equipped. Lovely views of the countryside and animals from every window. Free to wander chickens greeted us every morning out of our kitchen window along with fresh eggs available every morning. Loved it so much we have booked again for a week in April.

Pleasant stay in warm comfortable cottage.

Friendly host and all the facilities you need for your stay.

The cottage is well equipped.

The beds are very comfortable The location is perfect Nice and warm However If your dog doesn't like cats it's not the property for you.we couldn't spend any time outside as the cat was always outside the cottage. The bathroom needs a complete refit. Shower curtains inn 2024!?! It should be highlighted that the beams are very low. Finally we knew it was a 9.00 departure which except for during Covid is now unusual and harsh but to receive a text the night before we left not only reminding us but also underlining it. I may be elderly but I'm not senile. Very rude! Needles to say we won't be returning.

Absolutely lovely cottage, and lovely being on a working farm.

We visited so many new places and plenty of great countryside walks. We would love to return, and very lucky with the weather too. Karen and Mike.

Great location on a working farm with camp site further down the road.

Owners and family all lovely and very helpful if needed. Stunning views out of every window. Cows and chickens while washing up. Perfect place to escape our busy lives.

Peaceful and relaxing with lovely views great base to explore the area

Brilliant.

Warm, comfortable cottage with stunning views. Friendly owner who was available and not intrusive.

Loved the place!

! It was beautifully clean and all the facilities were there what you would want from a home from home. Great place to walk the dog a very quiet road with huge verges and beautiful scenery all around. I would recommend this place if you want peace and quiet but not too far from places to go .

Second time we have stayed at Wethercote Cottage.

We had a lovely stay comfortable clean and tidy as it was last time. Great area for exploring Yorkshire at its best. We will definitely book again next year. Thank you!!

We had a lovely stay.

The cottage was very comfortable clean and tidy. A lovely quiet cottage in a very convenient area.

We had a good week, the cottage was immaculate and well equipped.

The view from the cottage was lovely. My partner and I enjoyed watching the hares playing in the field over the garden wall. The owners were friendly and welcoming.

Great cottage, out of the way but with good walks for the dog.

A lovely cottage in a semi-remote location, but with easy access to Helmsley & beyond.

On arrival the cottage was spotless but no welcoming tea & biscuits/cake, not an essential but always a nice touch. Facilities excellent especially in the kitchen department whilst WiFi was excellent [fast acting & strong signal]. Perhaps the only facility that caused concern was the shower over the bath which was an accident waiting to happen, there were no hand holds to assist getting in or especially, getting out, and anyone with short legs was in for a challenge. A small irritant was the 9.00am departure which when you only live 50 mile away seemed a little unnecessary. So much so that we wouldn't again book any cottage with Sykes with that sort of early departure time.

Beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings with everything you need for a relaxing break.

The Cleveland Way is on the doorstep some amazing walking and scenery. You can get good weather in March too we did!

Lovely dog friendly cottage in the middle of a working farm Perfectly appointed small cottage in a peaceful location, great place to decompress and reconnect with nature.

Located in the middle of great walking country! The owners are friendly and check in to make sure everything is OK. We really enjoyed our stay

This cottage was beautiful.

We were first in following a total refurbishment which has been tastefully done. Therefore We could not fault it. The owner and family were friendly and courteous. This is a very busy working farm so do expect there to be mud about the farm yard. They also have two dogs which are extremely friendly. We will be returning.

What a lovely cottage right in the middle of the farm and stunning views and sunsets.

Near lots of lovely towns and lovely places to visit a brilliant holiday for all of us including the dog. Everything you need is in the cottage all the equipment is up to date and works really well. Fabulous

The cottage was lovely.

Clean, nicely furnished and very well equipped. Even had cleaning materials and Tea towels so didn’t need ours in the end. The cottage was in a very isolated location but easy to access all the main sights of North Yorkshire. Everything was within an hours drive. Owners greeted us on arrival and were warm and welcoming when we saw them in the garden or around the farm but gave us plenty of privacy.

Perfect stay, couldn't fault it!

Very covid secure, thoughtful touches, comfy and immaculate. Will be back! We had everything we needed and were sad to leave!

Beautiful cosy cottage, warm, comfortable and well equipped.

On a working farm, had the opportunity to help with feeding the lambs. Gorgeous views, peaceful and on a clear night, dark skies with spectacular views of the stars. Easy access to dales, moors and seaside.

A very comfortable and clean cottage with lovely views.

We also appreciated the taken great care taken by the owner to make our stay there as Covid-safe as possible. We had a wonderful time going on walks to Sutton Bank, Hawnby, and Rievaulx, and enjoying the sunshine on the picknick bench in the front of the cottage.

We wanted to escape to somewhere that was in the middle of nowhere, and this cottage allowed us to do just that.

Surrounded by fields, it’s peaceful with some stunning scenery right on the doorstep.

lovely spacious cottage on a farm.

lovely views and nearby walks to enjoy.

We had a lovely time at Weathercote cottage.

The cottage was very very clean & comfortable. The owners of the farm were very nice and very helpful. There are fresh eggs available, which I recommend. If you need grocery shopping then Thirsk is not too far away and the same with Helmsley, but be warned it can be busy! We are frequent visitors to the area and like Whitby, Filey, Bridlington & Pickering with it's wonderful railway. I took quite a few photos during our stay at the cottage, but sadly there is no where to share visitors photographs here. Maybe a feature Sykes could add.

Beautiful cottage in a fantastic part of England.

We had a great week and would definitely stay here again.

Wethercote cottage was delightful, we had a great time.

The location is fantastic, with lovely walks around the farm, and easy access to both the Moors and Dales. We received a very warm welcome from the Bell family, and had everything we could have wanted in the cottage. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking the explore North Yorkshire or simply looking for a rural retreat. Hope to visit again soon.

A beautiful cottage with lovely garden and fantastic views.

Had a lovely time at Weathercote cottage, very clean & comfy, owners very nice and helpful, in a good location for thirsk , Whitby Scarborough & Pickering would definitely recommend.

Friendly hosts.

Lovely farmyard environment Peaceful, just what we needed. Pleasant local walking, Central location for driving. Going back next year

The description doesn't do this cottage justice.

It's a perfect location for walking the Cleveland Way and visiting the gems that are dotted across the west of the North Yorkshire Moors all the way to the East Coast. The cottage itself is on a farm run by delightful and welcoming people who were very understanding about our pet number mix-up, and allowed us to take two dogs. If you're looking for 'away from it all' and spectacular views, this is the place to go. It's a very warm and comfortable cottage with every possible need covered. We tried very hard to think what else we might want, but could only come up with a second lavatory and a slotted spoon! There was even a collection of OS maps with walks highlighted. Helmsley is a few miles away and is a lovely little town which welcomes dogs in almost every shop and eatery, with 3 lovely pubs. The castle and it's surrounding area is well worth visiting, and the walk to Rivaulx is wonderful. The Abbey is another incredible site to visit. Going in the opposite direction from the cottage, the Cleveland Way has a good stopping point at East Paradise Farm's tea rooms which has fabulous home made cakes and serves savoury meals too. We can't wait to go back and have already booked to go in 4 months' time.

We have had a fantastic holiday in wethercote cottage, clean, comfortable, a lovely cosy cottage with everything you could ask for.

It was nice to be away from it all on the farm, and it was so nice and peaceful there. Great for walking with the Cleveland way very close by. It is also close to sutton bank with lots of good walks and the gliders to watch. We had brilliant weather and really didn't want to come home, the Bell family were very welcoming and we can thoroughly recommend wethercote cottage,we will definitely return.

Absolutely lovely cottage, very cosy and warm and very welcoming hosts.

Beautiful and peaceful part of the world. Lots to see and do and moors stunning.

A very pleasant and comfortable cottage.

We enjoyed our week there tremendously. The farm is situated in lovely open land not far from Helmsley. We were made very welcome by the owners and really enjoyed the proximity of chickens and the farm animals. The weather was so good that we mostly had our breakfasts on the bench on the lawn which was wonderful. I would heartily recommend the cottage. It is clean and comfortable and the owners are very welcoming and helpful.

A lovely cottage set on a working farm, so there was the expected farm noises (could be kind of early!

) but otherwise a really peaceful holiday. The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable, and contained everything we needed to self cater, not being great on eating out. We were there with our black labrador, who got on well with the resident dogs. I would note there is no secure garden (kind of obvious from the photos on the page) and we took a stake out and long line just in case, but mostly this wasn't needed, she stuck with us. The area around the cottage and North Yorkshire generally we found to be really dog friendly, which made the holiday for us.

5star plus rating

Lovely cottage in a remote area, the only slightly off-putting noise was the farm's wind turbine which was right outside the cottage door.

Other than that minor complaint, we could not fault anything and loved our stay.

A fantastic week away in a beautiful, homely cottage.

A great place to get away from the stress of life and unwind with gorgeous scenery and friendly neighbours.

We had a warm welcome from the owner and she also came to thank us and to say good bye.

The house was wonderfully warm and amazingly quiet with all the animals and machinery around. It is situated high up and we were very surprised to see all the snow! We would love to come back maybe in the spring or summer. From their visitors book we could see that lots of the visitors come back for another visit.
