"A wonderful, welcoming cosy cottage in a lovely, peaceful spot."
We have been to many cottages over the years, but Claire Cottage ranks amongst the best. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were just sad it was only for one week. Day trips to York and Temple Newsam were interesting, local walks were aplenty, our Sunday Church visit was to King’s Church, Selby for a powerful, charismatic service. All in all an excellent holiday - thank you to Paul & Tracey for their hospitality.

"Amazing Cottage."
Has to be one of the best - if not the best - equipped cottages we've stayed in. Didn't get to do quite what we planned due to a blip in my mobility so the few days spent reading & playing Scrabble was a much needed rest in a very cosy and comfortable environment. Thankyou too for the delicious Scones & extra Goodies - very kind.

"As a new mum and dad with a baby we were on our way to Claire's cottage with our ..."
As a new mum and dad with a baby we were on our way to Claire's cottage with our parents and we got a message to say there had been a storm and had a power cut and to be prepared but the owners were amazing we couldn't fault them at all provided lights told us where there were places we could eat if we hadn't already they provided the most delicious scones and cream upon arrival and milk and few snacks and wine to welcome us with we thoroughly our time spent here felt like home from home and will definitely be visiting again
-
"We had a lovely stay at the cottage, quiet, restful and very private."
The dogs loved playing in the vast field across from the cottage. We have never been to a place that cater so well for dogs . It is a place where we would definitely return
-
"Claire Cottage is perfect down a private road with a handful of houses and you are not overlooked."
There is everything you need and a field across the road to exercise your doggies, the welcome pack was a cream tea with homemade scones which were delicious. This is the best property we have ever rented and it felt like home
-
"Claire Cottage is absolutely one of the best cottages we have stayed in."
It is very spacious, comfortable & extremely well equipped. The owners have thought of everything & have spares of every little thing you could possibly need, even down to electronic device chargers. There was an excellent welcome pack on arrival, including Tracey's delicious home made scones. The rear courtyard is very private & a veritable sun trap. Our dog loved the 2 acre field just across from the cottage & there were loads of walks just on the door step. My wife has mobility issues & she found the cottage met all her needs. We will certainly consider coming back.
-
"Claire Cottage is one of the best properties we have stayed in."
Comfortable, clean and with all the facilities you require for your stay. The owners have thought of everything, including a great goodies package. It is also in a lovely, friendly part of Yorkshire. Home from home
-
"Best cottage we’ve ever stayed in from Sykes, was just perfect for our needs, quiet, secluded, dog field included opposite, dog walks nearby just perfect."
The cottage has everything you could possibly need too, I took lots of my own stuff but I really didn’t need to as the owners had thought of everything. It has a really good layout if there are two couples as the bedrooms, both with en-suite, are at opposite ends. Has a secure front garden and a quaint little courtyard which was a perfect sun trap. It was a brilliant base for us to stay before we headed out for the day, so much so we’ve already booked it again for next year.
-
"A beautiful cottage, everything you could ever need when away from home and more."
Exceptionally clean, comfortable beds and furnishings, what more could anyone want. Thank you for the lovely cream tea and nibbles.
-
"Had a lovely stay at Claire cottage."
The owners who lived next door were extremely friendly. Cottage was very nice and very comfortable. Everything was thought of. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again if in the area.
-
"My second visit to Claire Cottage."
It’s like home from home. Everything you could possibly need is provided even down to a cream tea laid out on arrival. The field opposite provided many hours daily of fun and exercise for the dog and new furniture provides a welcome place to sit with a drink in the sunshine. The courtyard is a sun trap and we were very lucky with the weather. Tracey and Paul along with their family are very friendly and helpful. Can’t wait till our next visit. Thank you again
-
"This is a lovely cottage immaculate and has every you could possibly need provided."
Stacey and Paul made us feel so welcome with a cream tea laid out on the table and wine in the fridge, even treats for doggies. The paddock was a big hit with lots of space for games and a table to sit at with coffee/ wine and watch the rabbits play. There are plenty of places to visit and great walks within easy reach. We will definitely be back.
-
"What a wonderful find Claire Cottage was, exceptionally clean and maintained to such a very high standard, everything you could have possibly wished for."
The afternoon tea and extra goodies provided were a lovely touch even chews for the dog. The enclosed garden and field were ideal for the dog. Lots of information provided and routs for local walks. Tracey and Paul are the perfect hosts. Will definitely be returning to Claire Cottage again
-
"Lovely cottage, ticked all of our boxes."
Very happy with everything.
-
"We had such a lovely stay at Claire Cottage."
We were welcomed with some delicious goodies, and the cottage had everything we could possibly need. The location is so peaceful and relaxing, and Tracey and Paul are always on hand if you need them. Our dog loved having his very own field to run about in.
-
"Thank you to Tracey & Paul for a wonderful week in their beautiful cottage and absolute gem in Yorkshire ."
The cottage was far better equipped than any other cottage we have stayed in and the welcome pack was wonderful . We can't wait to go back in the near future A definite 10/10 .
-
"We have never been anywhere else as good as this cottage,"
-
"Absolutely brilliant cottage and owners so helpful."
Would highly recommend
-
"We stay in various Sykes cottages all over the UK."
I wish there was a Claire Cottage in each area! It is secluded, comfortable and the layout is brilliant. Everything you could possibly think of is provided. The extra goodies hamper is a lovely touch. I would recommend.
-
"Super cottage every thing supplied lovely welcome pack including scones and wine and use of the large field opposite for the dogs was fantastic Paul & Tracy are great hosts."
Thank you.
-
"Beautiful and cosy cottage, thoughtfully equipped and spotlessly clean."
Lovely welcome basket on arrival and friendly and helpful hosts next door who also kindly gave us use of the field opposite for our dog. Ideal layout for 2 couples who want some privacy, as the bedrooms and bathrooms are on opposite ends of the bungalow. The location is very peaceful with plenty of walks on the doorstep or a short drive away. In Hambleton The Owl has a side room that allows dogs; The Red Lion was too busy for us to get in on a Saturday night (but it usually has a food van outside). Much better to stock up with food and hunker down next to the fire. Would highly recommend.
-
"Our stay at Clare Cottage, was excellent, the owners have thought of everything."
There was more than enough of everthing, no need to worry about running out of anything the complimentary box was such a nice touch. And the scones were scruptious. Thank you both for a wonderful stay, we will be back. Clare Cottage is certainly home from home ,
-
"A really lovely stay."
Great property, great location, and really nice hosts. We had a wonderful stay, and will most certainly be back next time we are visiting the North of England.
-
"Very comfortable and relaxing stay in a quiet location."
There was an excellent selection of goodies waiting for us on arrival and the kitchen was extremely well equipped. We chose the front bedroom which had a walk in shower en-suite which was ideal for the wife who has limited mobility. The lounge had been beautifully decorated for Christmas and the real coal fire was perfect as we experienced some cold nights whilst there. The owners live next door and communication with them was perfect. We very much hope to return.
-
"We have just had the loveliest stay at claires cottage."
A true home from home for us and our german shepherd Tracey and Paul have thought of everything and are on hand next door if needed. The walks are lovely in the woods and surrounding area selby is a lovely town and the local garden centre is a must visit if staying local . The welcome hamper of bread biscuits crisps milk and wine is amazing and treats for the dog as well as blankets towels cupboards stocked with everything. You want for nothing we dont usually do self catering but would come back here definitely. Thank you sykes cottages also for constant communication and your support as well as the lovely hosts with welcoming texts but no intrusion.
-
"Wonderful cottage."
The owners have thought of everything.
-
"I would recommend this holiday cottage to others."
It is superbly equipped and very comfortable. It overlooks a large field which you are allowed to use and is very close to a nature reserve. The owners are very friendly. They provide a lovely goody basket and a tasty cream tea.
-
"Lovely cottage."
Perfectly set out, the bedrooms and en suites being at opposite ends of the cottage meant privacy for mum and my husband and I. Well equipped kitchen, lovely crockery, plenty of cutlery and glasses. Garden enclosed and secure for dogs to play in, the paddock facing was perfect for them to let off steam. The welcome basket was fabulous, the homemade scones were delicious and the dog chews were a lovely touch. Would definitely look to stay again. Thank you.
-
"A delightful and comfortable property."
As well as the excellent facilities the owner had gone to great lengths to ensure every need was provided for. The welcome pack and visit from the owner were greatly appreciated. Our dog gave it five woofs and a paws up for the field.
-
"Very cosy and homely cottage."
The welcome cream tea and basket of goodies was a thoughtful touch and immediately made us feel very welcome. Well equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds. Lovely peaceful location. Perfect for exploring this area of Yorkshire. We would definitely like to return.
-
"Lovely cottage in a great setting with a secure garden for dogs."
The owners were very helpful and I’m sure we will be back.
-
"We had a lovely week in Claire cottage and would highly recommend."
Very well equipped, everything you could need and lovely welcome gifts. We had a rainy week but made the most of the area. Our spaniel loved the cottage and garden but couldn’t run in the field due to too many rabbits!!
-
"Wow from the moment you walk into Claire’s cottage ."
Everything you could possibly require is there . Lovely extras a hamper, milk & wine in the fridge . Not forgetting the gorgeous cream tea laid up on the dining room table . So peaceful . We didn’t want to leave
-
"Thank u for being kind considerate and understanding when we arrived early due to my feeling ill."

Lovely week at Claire Cottage, very clean and everything you needed, having lovely weather able to sit outside, Millie the dog loved a good run round the field opposite, best welcome pack we ever had thank you, able to relax in quiet surroundings
-
"We had a lovely break at Claire Cottage."
This comfortable cottage was spotless on arrival, and a generous welcome basket with some fantastic homemade cream scones was greatly appreciated after a long drive. Everything that you need for a relaxing holiday is provided. Our dog was well catered for as well, with a big field opposite to have a good run around and a nice secluded safe garden area. There are good short walks from the door, in this doggy friendly area. Paul and Tracy were very helpful when we had a problem at home and had to cut our stay short, being on site proved very handy.
-
"Claire Cottage is one of the best equipped cottages we have stayed in."
There was a very generous hamper of goodies and a cream tea for our arrival .Friendly hosts and a superb location overlooking a field in a very quiet area. We would highly recommend this property.

"One of the best cottages we've ever been to."
Lovely location . Great welcoming pack. Cottage extremely well equipped, with everything you could possibly need. Paul and Tracey were on hand but not intrusive. The Cottage is in a perfect location quiet and peaceful but within easy reach of York and the surrounding areas. Lovely walks. We would highly recommend Clair Cottage and would love to go back.
-
"This was our second stay at Claire Cottage and it was a delight to return."
It’s a real home from home, with thoughtful touches throughout the property and a very generous welcome pack. It remains the best presented holiday cottage we have stayed in. The owners are on hand if needed and very accommodating. The garden is very secure for dogs and the access to the field across the quiet road makes for easy dog walks before heading out for the day. The cottage is in a quiet community with a country feel, but has good access to M1 and M62 as well as the A19 for York. Overall a 5 star stay and our ‘go to’ property when staying in the area.
-
"Claire Cottage is an ideal cottage for the winter ."
We found it always warm and comfortable during the day and night . The cottage is fitted out perfectly and nothing has been forgotten. The 2 bedrooms have plenty of storage space for clothes and the beds very comfortable . Each bedroom has a bathroom which is very useful . The living room has a comfortable 3 piece suite and a giant TV with all the required apps . The kitchen diner has a warm feel to it and we had a few meals and drinks in it . It also has patio doors leading to a small courtyard. We did not sit out as it was to cold but I bet it is lovely in the summer. The front door leads to a fenced garden which our doggo loved doing zoomies in . Beyond is a large field which belongs to cottage owners also useful for dog walking . I cannot find any faults with this cottage . We have stayed in a few Sykes Cottages now and this the best so far.
-
"Lovely cottage, very well equipped, and great communication with the owners."
-
"A fabulous holiday cottage, a real home from home with lots of really thoughtful touches from the owners."
Garden is secure and dog friendly. The fit out and furnishings of good quality and very well fitted out with everything we needed. Will definitely visit again.
-
"This property is probably the best we've ever stayed in."
It was warm very comfortable and extremely well equipped. The welcome pack was generous including scones, jam and clotted cream. Most welcome after our journey. We did get slightly lost on the way to the property our satnav sent us to a large country house in Gatefoth itself, we had to ask some local people for directions. We weren't far from where we should have been but did have to phone the owners for precise guidance to Claire Cottage. We got round the problem by putting the postcode for Hambleton in our satnav which cured the problem on subsequent journeys. Altogether an extremely comfortable and enjoyable stay.
-
"An excellent cottage."
Warm and cosy. Lots of extras provided by owners including basket of groceries upon arrival. Very thoughtful, a great pity that other owners don't welcome their guests like this. This was our second visit and it didn't disappoint. Nice open fire in evening (coal etc provided)was a bonus. Plenty to do in area and a stone's throw from York and its attractions.. We will certainly make a third visit in the future.
-
"We all had a really relaxing break, welcome pack really, really good, many thanks!"
Well stocked cottage. Owners really helpful. No complaints, other than time passed all to quickly! Thanks.
-
"An outstanding property with everything you could ever want and more."
The situation of the property was excellent in a very quiet location but not very far from a village. It had a very comfortable and homely feel. The owners were very friendly and helpful, with useful information about the surrounding area. On arrival we received a very nice welcome pack of scones, cake, biscuits and chocolate, which was very welcome.
-

"SIMPLY THE BEST."
Accommodating hosts. Great communication. Amazing welcome pack. Best kitted out cottage we have ever stayed in,(which is why we have been twice this year). Fabulous field for exercising dogs and humans. Can’t think of anything negative to say.
-
"Claire cottage is beautiful ,very clean ,everything was amazing, the welcome gift was very much appreciated and I would recommend to all."
Will definitely return ,Thank you Tracey and Paul x
-
"There was everything you could possibly need in a lovely clean,well equipped cottage."
Flowers and generous goodies awaited us on arrival. It was a great base for walks locally and for exploring the Yorkshire coast. Would definitely stay at Claire cottage again.
-
"Undeniably the best self catering accomodation we have ever visited."
There were a lot of possibilities for problems as we were there with my 89 year old mum who does have severe arthritis and struggles with quite a few day to day tasks, Every single thing that could go wrong went right in a big way. Super clean but not off putting, super presented it felt like home. Lovely location but not too out of the way, Lots to see and do in the area and we were able to handle the hottest days in 2022 heatwave successfully as on the very hottest day we were comfortable staying in a home from home relaxing and doing our own thing. Welcome back on arrival was stunning (and delicious) So many positives and we can't wait to go back !
-
"Absolutely Wonderful Cottage."
. Couldn't fault it. Owner's have thought of everything and the welcome pack one of the best and much appreciated. Delightful clean, comfortable and cosy cottage set in a Lovley quiet area-but with everything one needs close to hand, secure dog friendly garden and patio, perfect for us and our 2 furbies, looking forward to planning another stay at Claire Cottage in the future. We have been blessed with glorious weather and simply had the most relaxing and chilled out time.
-
"Fabulous cottage, very homely and spacious with a marvellous enclosed patio at the back."
Very generous and thoughtful welcome pack and helpful owners. Field opposite available to use, ideal for the dog. Unfortunately this was greatly overshadowed on the last day when I stripped the bed and found horrible stains on both the mattress protector and on one of the pillow protectors. I notified one of the owners who apologised and said they hadn’t noticed when changing the sheets but the stains were very apparent to me and quite off putting. Apart from that I enjoyed my stay very much.
Very glad you enjoyed your stay Katherine, thanks for the feedback, and sincere apologies again for the stains you described. The laundry we use didn’t report anything, and our cleaners and myself didn’t notice the stains when preparing the cottage. We have replaced the items to be absolutely sure. Property Owner

Wonderful setting for a beautiful cottage. Whatever your preference ... relax in the tranquillity, go for long walks, drive to the coast or nearby interesting towns, soak up the comfort of the cottage ... it is all here. Everything is done, by the owners, to ensure a perfect stay and we thank Tracy and Paul for their attention to detail and the treats provided on our arrival. See you again soon xx

-
"This was one of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed at."
It was perfect for us and our dog: enclosed garden, lots of space and really well equipped. The welcome pack was amazing and the owners have gone to great lengths to think of all that could be needed. We walked from the cottage on several days and enjoyed the peace and tranquillity of the area.
-
"Claire Cottage is the perfect base for a holiday and the owners' attention to detail is second to none."
All guests have been carefully considered in the equipping of the cottage, including dogs and is one of the best holiday properties we have ever stayed in.

Obvious to see that a great deal of thought and care has gone in to this property. I would highly recommend a visit.
-
"Super property with the best hosts."
Fantastic communication and a wonderful welcome
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Claire Cottage."
Due to a minor foot injury we did not do as much walking as we would have hoped but on the plus side that meant we spent much more time relaxing in this very cosy, Christmassy cottage. The welcome gifts were extremely generous and most welcome, thank you. The open fire just added to the whole experience and we could not have asked for more. A beautiful location, quiet with walks straight from the front door (which we must do next time) a fully enclosed garden all making it ideal for dogs. My only regret is that we we didn't book a longer stay.
-
"Absolutely beautiful cottage in perfect surroundings for us and our dogs."
Tracey and paul are lovely and made us feel very welcome. The extra touches are a lovely gesture and we will certainly be back. If I had one Criticism it would be the pillows in the back bedroom but that’s personal preference. Beautiful
-
"What a fantastic little gem of a cottage this is !"
I cannot fault it in anyway so if you are thinking about booking a stay here don't hesitate for a second. Perfect location for walking , what beautiful countryside straight off the door step. We walked for miles off road with our two spaniels who had the time of their lives. The welcome goodies left by the owners on our arrival was on another level . I won't share what they were as it was a wonderful surprise ! The whole package of the experience in this gorgeous cottage was simply first class , you will not be disappointed in anyway. We will most certainly be back !!
-
"This was a delightful cottage in the peace and quiet of the country."
The owners did everything to make sure our stay was great fromstart to finish. Would recommend a stay here with no hesitation.
-

-
"If you like: Peace and tranquility, with hustle and bustle within reach Everything to hand, including exceptional hosts, added treats The countryside and would travel to the beach Comfort and that 'home from home' feeling This is an exceptional property that has all of the above and more."

-
"Absolutely lovely cottage, with all you could wish for, including yummy welcome gifts from the very friendly hosts."
It was great having both bedrooms en-suite, no tossing a coin with my friend to decide who was having the best room! Fabulous walks from the cottage so with the use of the field across it was perfect for our dogs. We were sad to leave and will definitely be making a return visit. Many thanks to our brilliant hosts Tracey and Paul from Tracy, Janice and the dogs, Buddy, Bruce and Cooper
