"We celebrated my 30th over the weekend we stayed and honestly couldn't have picked a more beautiful house and location."
The rooms were a great size with the added bonus of an ensuite for all the adults. The kids loved the mezzanine with the football table and the garden was a fab size for them to burn some energy on. The house was well equipped with a huge oven, double kettles, toasters and dishwasher which is a great touch when there's 16 of you and everyone wants a cuppa or a bit of toast. Out of everything, the only thing I'd suggest would be to have some plastic cups, plates and bowls for the kids.

"We had the most wonderful stay at Deerclose West Farmhouse."
The property surpassed the photos that we had seen ahead of the stay and was a perfect location for our group. There was plenty of space for the full group of 14 people, including plenty of bathrooms, a huge dining table and a large kitchen. Facilities were also great, and the location was stunning. We hope to return again in the warmer months so we can make the most of the local walks.

"This is a first class property with superb facilities in a splendid isolated location."
Coverdale is a totally unspoilt hidden gem. It’s a great location for those who enjoy walking and running. There are stunning views from all the windows in the property and children have lots of safe outdoor space for play. Places of interest like Jervaulx Abbey, Middleham and Aysgarth Falls are within easy reach. Further afield, the children particularly enjoyed the Workhouse Museum and the Crypt in the Cathedral in Ripon. The best place for food shopping is Leyburn where there is a well-stocked Co-op and Campbells, a traditional family-owned grocery shore. Middleham has an excellent fish and chip shop and a number of real ale pubs.

"The owner had thoughtfully supplied all the necessary kitchen equipment needed for s self catering holiday and also provided, items, such as washing up liquid, toilet rolls, handwash, dishwasher tablets, cloths, plastic rubbish bags and many more helpful products for our stay."
The beds and linen were clean, and enough towels and tea towels were supplied. All equipment worked well and there was enough of everything to cater for the 13 people on our stay. The kitchen, bathrooms, toilets etc were spotless and there is lots of rooms and space to spread yourselves out. There was however, a dangerous loose flagstone leading to the patio which needs urgent attention! And the narrow road leading up to the cottage has two unavoidable pot holes which really do need filling in. A better placed sign with the name of the cottage at the entrance to to road would also be really helpful, as the road is easily missed! I'm sure that the locals enjoyed watching us trying to find it!! The location of the property is very calm, tranquil and quite isolated. There are no shops for forgotten things but there is lots of peace and quiet! We had a great holiday at Deerclose.

"Good morning
We had an amazing time and thank you for sharing your home with us."
It was my 50th birthday and it was a fantastic venue to host friends and family
Just a couple of things which I hope are took as constructive feedback, firstly the outdoor seating in my opinion could be improved to allow a more relaxed atmosphere. Secondly we couldn’t find any wine glasses which was surprised us considering the amount of glasses available
Many thanks
Paul
Hi Paul,
Thanks for your feedback, which we're grateful for, as it provides us with the information we need to help provide the best experience to our guests.
I'm glad you had an amazing time, celebrating your 50th along with your family and friends. We love to hear about stays like yours.
Although we already provide 2x picnic benches with seats, I would love to hear more about how we could alter our outdoor seating area - would you be kind enough to contact Sykes and ask them to forward your ideas to us please?
Regarding the glasses, I understand the confusion, we have plenty of wine glasses - but they're stemless, so look quite similar to the tumblers that we also provide. Some people love them, some...not so much! - but we took the decision to go with stemless wine glasses as they fit into the dishwasher better and are harder to knock over. Thanks for pointing this out, as I don't think we'd made it clear to guests up until now.
I hope you'll consider coming back for your 55th or 60th!
Many thanks,
Jimmy. Property Owner

"We loved our visit to Deerclose West."
We were a group of nine and the house had plenty of space, bathrooms, seating etc for all of us. We loved the way that someone who wants some peace and quiet could always head for a quiet spot in the house, given its layout. The location is also perfect: great to be able to walk from the property. Very cosy, even during the storm. The property manager and owner were very responsive and looked after us well. Highly recommended.

"Where do I start?"
Absolutely stunning house, fabulous setting, peaceful and quiet. So much room, everything so well thought out and a kitchen that has obviously had a lot of money spent on it recently. So nice to find somewhere that caters for 14 rather than sleeps 14. Two dishwashers, kettles, fridges, an oven big enough and seating for all comfortably. It was two days before we could find our way about properly within the house and when we did eventually retire it was to lovely quality beds, pillows and bedding. Kim and Jimmy were a delight to correspond with and made the whole stay perfect, what more can I say?

"No hot water for 4 of the 6 rooms of the holiday home for 2."
5 days of the 7 day holiday.
We'd like to apologise to our guests for an unfortunate situation where one
of our two boilers failed on a Saturday afternoon, temporarily resulting in
no hot water for part of the farmhouse. The plumber was contacted
immediately but was on holiday until the Monday. Given our remote location,
there was no other plumber option. Our plumber came out on Monday morning
and fixed the issue, providing hot water for the rest of the week. Our
guests also found the immersion switch for the faulty boiler, so there
should have been hot water available approximately 45 minutes after being
switched on, despite the boiler itself not working. We do our best to
maintain all electrical and plumbing services, with both boilers being
checked and serviced annually. We apologise once again for this rare
situation. Many thanks, the Deerclose West Team Property Owner

"We were two families, with 6 teen or pre-teen children between us, and this house provided an ideal place for a communal holiday."
There is masses of space inside, which is conveniently laid out, and the garden and surrounding area was perfect for games of hide and seek. In quieter moments the views across the dale are peaceful and we were fortunate to have sunshine almost every day to enjoy the seats outside the kitchen. There were some wonderful sunsets too. We went on a few walks locally but the main place the children enjoyed was the ford and meadow more or less at the bottom of the drive. (One thing we should have done was to bring a map with us; there are masses of footpath signs but the paths aren't always very clear on the ground and we were unable to find the promised map in the house.)
We had a few trips to local places - Middleham Castle, Jervaulx Abbey, Masham and others - which we all enjoyed. There is a huge amount to see in the local area. You have to get used to the single track access in Coverdale, though. On the day we left the road in the direction of Leyburn was blocked which meant we needed to go up the valley to join the A1. This can easily add an hour to the journey. But we enjoyed the peace and the relaxation which the house offers; it is not a place to come and rush about!
Thank you for letting us stay in the house, which we would highly recommend. All of the joining information was friendly and helpful and we were made to feel very welcome from the start.
