“This was our 3rd Sykes cottage ...”

This was our 3rd Sykes cottage experience and we had a lovely time at Aban cottage. It is a well kept, cosy cottage in a great location. The kitchen is clean and fairly well equipped but we did find the fridge/ freezer a bit small for our needs as a family of four - but we didn’t starve ! The lounge is comfortable and we enjoyed a few games of scrabble and monopoly with the games provided ! The beds are all really comfortable and the rooms really well appointed. The main let down for us was the bathroom, it is really past it’s best and does let the cottage down but the owner did say it was due a makeover this year following a leak from the shower whilst we were there. All in all Aban cottage is lovely and we had a great time using it as a base for exploring the area.

“Stunning cottage in beautiful village”

Very well equipped cottage, cosy, spotless and peaceful. Lovely basket of goodies on arrival and one of the owners Terry was on hand to show us round. One of the best cottages we have holidayed in. Beautiful view of fields opposite. So handy for the coast and moors and we ate twice in The Pheasant in the village which seemed to have the edge over its Michelin-starred rival The Star. Sorry to have to leave for home - always a good sign!

Our cottage was cosy, warm & had everything we needed. The cottage was in a great area, so peaceful & overlooking fields & we were lucky to be there when the lambs were out with their mums! Just a short drive from the lovely market town of Helmsley. We would definitely stay there again.

We were really disappointed with the WiFi that barely worked all week. It was advertised with working WiFi and some of our party needed this for work. Other this we really enjoyed our Aban experience. Lovely cottage and location.

“Excellent. The owners were ...”

Excellent. The owners were incredibly helpful before we got there. They checked if the local,pub would be open for drinks on Christmas Day, they gave me info on where to find vegetables on Christmas Eve and lots of other advice. I cannot speak,highly enough about them. The cottage was beautiful, extremely clean and perfect for a peaceful,and happy Christmas, the first without my lovely Mum. They left prosecco in the fridge to celebrate Christmas and another one for my birthday!! The village is gorgeous, The locals are friendly. Just perfect. Thankyou. The only slight niggle was not having a dish washer, but it just meant that our son had to work that bit harder after our Christmas dinner.

It was very pleasing to find that the new owners of the cottage had maintained the same high standard as the previous owner. The welcome pack was indeed very welcome. A lovely week in spite of the weather.

Cottage was full of character and very well equipped. The area around is very interesting,so many places to visit that a week is nowhere near long enough. We hope to return to the cottage and continue to explore this lovely part of the world.
