  • "Lovely bungalow in a good location."

    We met the gentleman who owned the property, who said if there was anything he could do for us just ask. He even offered us a lift to the local restaurant. The instructions for the house, said how to turn the heating on, just by a thermostat. The heating was obviously turned off, and there was no way we could over ride it. There was a note in the houses book stating someone else had the same problem! Such a shame. Otherwise a lovely stay. We should have to ask to turn it on!

    I’m really sorry that you had a problem with the heating on arrival, as we explained at the time, following a summer where the heating just hadn’t been used for 6 months the boiler had gone to “sleep mode” a quick press of the reset button and the boiler was up and running. We’re glad that you enjoyed your stay, your feedback is greatly appreciated and we welcome you back anytime you’re looking for a North Yorkshire escape. Kind regards and best wishes. Property Owner

  • "The cottage was clean and comfortable."

    Outside furniture and garden is lovely apart from the smell of the oil central heating tank. Details suggest king size bed unless you request twin but on arrival it was twin - not a problem for us. Very convenient for Easingwold which is a lovely village with fantastic coffee shops and a local market. Owners friendly dog likes to visit and very close to the horses stables and plenty of parking.

  • "Lovely cottage and really enjoyed our stay."

    The kids liked waking up each morning to see the horses. My mum and dad enjoyed spending time with their grandchildren and there was plenty of space for us all. Very clean, a kitchen with everything we needed. One suggestion (don't publish this) is to try and turn the hot water temperature down a bit on the tank if you can as it was very very hot. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay. Adam and family

  • "House was lovely, modern with excellent facilities, particularly the en-suites."

    Kitchen was well equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, freezer, cooker and microwave. Slightly hard to find in the dark at this time of year as there did not appear to be a sign at the end of the drive as was suggested in the instructions. However, it is within easy driving distance of local amenities and places of interest including York, Thirsk, Harrogate, Castle Howard, Byland and Rievaulx abbies. The welcome hamper was lovely but provision of things like dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid would also have been beneficial.

  • "Lovely stay at Providence Cottage."

    Extremely comfortable, clean, spacious and well equipped cottage ideally located as a base to explore the beautiful and varied villages, whilst also only a 20 minute drive into the centre of York. We recommend a trip to Helmsley which was our favourite. The grounds are amazing and if you’re lucky to have good weather you can sit out in complete peace - except for the occasional visit from Marlow the very friendly pup. Future guests should note that one of the bedrooms is a twin (the advert suggests 3 doubles). It wasn’t a problem for us but please do bear in mind. Thanks for a great stay.

    They left us to our own devices despite being within the grounds of their home which we appreciated.

    . The owners were lovely and allowed the children to play on their tree house and their dogs kept my daughter entertained for hours whilst she played outside. The hammock was a nice surprise too, great for relaxing and watching the sunset. The cottage itself is finished to a great standard and felt really homely, plenty of storage space in all bedrooms and the kitchen was well equipped The location is great, only a short drive to York (or the park and ride) and there is a nice walk into Easingwold, which took about 40 minutes.

  • "The holiday itself was excellent."

    The property itself was very comfortable, met our location needs and was of a good standard of cleanliness despite a few large cobwebs around the lounge ceiling. The property may benefit from a little more crockery, cutlery, hand towels and tea towels. The cutlery basket in the dishwasher suffered from holes and will need replacing. Despite these minor comments, the cottage itself was fantastic, convenient to the explore the North Yorkshire sites and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. However, because of Sykes Cottages cancellation policy whereby we had to cancel our first booking 11 months prior to our reservation date and lost a portion of our deposit, we will not be using Sykes Cottages for our family get together in the future.

  • "Providence Cottage was excellent for what we needed."

    We were a party of 3, including my parents both in their eighties. My Dad has mobility issues so this cottage which is all on one level met his needs and I would recommend it for anyone in those circumstances (not wheelchair however). A couple of suggestions, the sofas in the living room were very comfortable however not ideal for someone older as they are more difficult to get out of. There is a good chair in the kitchen but this was too heavy to move. The owners were only next door but a book for the house would be useful - bin day, what to put in each bin, the usual stuff. The dishwasher wasn't working which was fine, these things happen but a note would have been good. Other than that this is a really great base for the area. Close to the lovely market town of Easingwold with its cafes and shops, the Howardian Hills and beyond. I would definitely recommend it. I'm happy for you to use the positives of this feedback - the other is an observation not a grumble. Please don't publish full name or email address.
