  It is ideal for visiting so many places in north yorkshire.it is always clean and has everything you need.the stairs would be steep for any one with walking difficulties.we have visited three times and would recommend it.

• "We found the cottage snug and cheerful on wild, wet November days and nights."

  The batterie de cuisine is admirably complete, clearly stocked by someone who realises that holidaymakers really do sometimes want to cook! Sufficient knives, chopping boards, big enough saucepans etc. Good-sized rooms throughout. When we had a temporary problem with the hot water, Fiona responded very quickly and came round to reset the controls. I will mention here (NOT an issue with the cottage, but with the email I received from Sykes) that the directions for finding Summerfield website are unnecessarily complicated. Luckily I contacted Fiona in advance, and she gave me crystal clear, accurate and simple directions.

  The garden was really secure for our dog, the views were amazing. Everything was clean and comfortable. We met the owner once and she was really helpful, advising us about short cuts to get on the Moors. Fabulous! Would definitely recommend

• "A late booking to take advantage of the early Sept sun, so we enjoyed glorious weather throughout our stay."

  The cottage is located in beautiful countryside and ideally placed to explore the east coastline an hour away or lots of lovely places closer by. Our dog enjoyed the pretty self enclosed garden, as did we. Friendly and welcoming owners next door should you need them, but not at all intrusive. Perfect cottage for a relaxing break.

• "The ambience of this holiday cottage is really relaxing."

  If you’re looking for ultra-modern it might not be for you, but if you want rural slower-paced life, watching animals and birds, this would be ideal. This was our second visit. The kids demanded to return because there is great tyre swing in the farm yard, and two friendly outdoor farm cats. This year there were also chickens that enthusiastically sought us out for bird seeds and oats. The cottage is really conveniently located for days out under twenty minutes’ drive away: Riveaulx Terrace, Riveaulx Abbey, Byland Abbey, Helmsley Castle, Helmsley Walled Garden, Nunnington Hall, North York Moors Railway and more. We would warmly recommend the National Birds of Prey Centre in Duncombe Park.

• "A comfortable cottage with everything you need."

  Situated in a beautiful area surrounded by fields, along with the sheep cows and hens enabling a tranquil stay. The cats are inquisitive and love a fuss. The owners are next door, they are friendly and very helpful but not at all intrusive, the perfect hosts. A great place to stay to unwind with lots to do in the area and somewhere for everyone a little further afield.

• "We had a very enjoyable stay, and the property was in a lovely location."

  The Cottage was very comfortable, and all the appliances worked well for us. We would be very happy to have another holiday there. I found the stairs a bit steep, but my mobility is not the best, and most people would manage them fine. My wife did have a fall on the first evening, as there was a unexpected step down as soon as you enter the twin bedroom - she was a bit bruised, but soon recovered. Many thanks to Fiona.

• "We had a lovely few days restful holiday - cut a bit short at either end due to our little dog who wasnt very well."

  Such a comfortable cottage and Fiona and Ryan the owners are lovely people. It was our second visit and while we didn't go as far as we would have liked this time we enjoyed walks around Nunnington Hall and shopped at Morrisons in Malton. Thank you for the Free Range eggs Fiona they had exceptional flavour.Would thoroughly recommend this cottage - it is home from home and there is everything there that you might need for your stay.

• "Was this property perfect?"

  No, the kitchen was a bit cramped, the upstairs shower room a bit narrow, and we couldn’t find enough tall glasses in the cupboard. But did we love it and would be come again? Yes, absolutely. It was such a relaxing place with a pleasant sheltered garden. Best of all were the things that weren’t in the listing. There was some play equipment in the yard and the boys absolutely loved the tyre swing. There were some very friendly fluffy cats around to stroke. And there is a small quiet airfield close by and one of the pilots showed off his skills doing loop the loops and dives. Lots to do close by. The kids enjoyed the adventure play area at Castle Howard the best. Had a lovely time here.

• "Great location."

  Cottage is beginning to look a little tired, and is quite sparse however it didn't distract our stay. It would have been good to have a welcome note, or booklet to explain the favourite spots, or must-do visits in the area - there is so many hidden gems so it would be good to share the local knowledge. The two farm cats are very friendly and greeted us most mornings and evening!

• "Shame the description online differed to what was actually available."

  Garden furniture was insufficient for 4 people, and when requested more seating, we were offered 2 plastic chairs. No eggs were available although the description said collect your own eggs for breakfast, no sight of any chickens or a reason why. We had a few people approaching us at the cottage about loose sheep and also a user of the adjacent caravan and camping site trying to contact the owners, who were not available during the day.

  We were welcomed with a sticky ginger cake left for us in the kitchen upon our arrival.The cottage was comfortable with a really well-equipped kitchen, including In the pantry an iron & board, mop & bucket, sweeping brush & dust-pan, vacuum cleaner & recycling boxes & plenty of cleaning products & cloths & washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets. Nice touches & saves having to bring or buy those additional items. The property was clean and we had everything we needed. The owners left equipment & logs for a fire for the first night, which was nice. We didn't light a fire though because we didn't spend much time in the cottage. Really enjoyed our stay & would definitely book again.

• "We have just returned from a lovely week at Summerfield Farm Cottage."

  The location was perfect for us as it was peaceful but not too far from walking/places to see and a shop in Kirkbymoorside. The cottage was well equipped and had everything we needed and they clearly consider Covid cleaning between stays. My only slight negative comments would be that some rooms are starting to look like they could do with a lick of paint and also maybe a clearer signage of the main farmhouse as the few quiet caravans that were there kept getting mixed up and trying to come pay us for their plot! This wouldn’t put us off staying here again though.

  gorgeous views from every window! Lots of places to go walking in the area. The garden is great for relaxing at the end of the day. We enjoyed exploring round the farm and meeting up with the animals. The cottage is very comfortable, clean and had all the kitchen equipment we needed. In these COVID times I would recommend organising a grocery delivery from one of the supermarkets based in Malton. The family were welcoming (loved the banana bread) friendly and available when we needed to ask anything but also gave us our privacy. We enjoyed a fantastic week.
