  • "Lovely well equipped cottage Owner very helpful"

  • "A great cottage BUT problem stairs!"

    The Dower House Cottage would be a great place for most people BUT for elderly/less mobile people, the staircase is a potential hazard. Currently the dog-legged staircase has an inadequate handrail. The handrail's profile is difficult to grip and, more importantly, it is not continuous and also ends well below the top step. It is to be regretted that the owner failed to include photos of the staircase, or describe it, in the details of the cottage. I would point out that I have drawn the attention the owner, Toby, to the problems and discussed how the situation could be improved. The cottage itself is extremely well furnished with everything you might want. It was beautifully clean on arrival with everything working. Plenty of parking for two cars and being able to charge my hybrid car was a useful feature not available at many properties. The cottage is in an attractive location, off the village green. Although the village does not have any shops, it does have a great pub - the Black Horse - which is only a few metres away - and we would recommend their food and beer! The village is in a lovely location and there are plenty of places within easy travel. We particularly liked Ripon and Studley Royal Water Gardens. Despite the stairs (and the unseasonal weather) we had a great week at the Dower House Cottage and - subject to the above warning re the stairs - we would strongly recommend it for anyone who wants a comfortable week, in a quiet village, in a lovely part of the country. Jim

    Jim. Thanks for your feedback. We have been letting the cottage for a few years now and the stairs have not caused our guests problems in the past, they are a normal steepness with a single 90 degree turn, but it was helpful to discuss the need for an additional hand hold/rail above the handrail which I can see would make the final step a little easier to get up if guests struggle with mobility. We will get this arranged as soon as we can so guests in future can benefit. Glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again next year. Toby Property Owner

  • "Whilst the property was comfortable, there were a few cleanliness issues."

    I had to remove a large mass of human hair from the bath plughole before I could take a bath & was unable to use the rubber non-slip bath mat due to the excessive amount of black mould on the reverse. The bedroom with en suite shower had a continuous stale smell of stagnant water akin to a plumbing problem. Overall we enjoyed the stay & location, although a welcome pack of a pint of milk & packet of biscuits for instance, would have been most welcome.

  • "We have stayed in many different holiday properties over the years, and this lovely little cottage was in our opinion the best."

    Spotlessly clean, well equipped, cosy and comfortable, we couldn't have asked for anything more. We had a very indifferent week weather wise ranging from sun and showers, to unrelenting torrential rain, but nothing spoiled our enjoyment of the wonderful scenery and walks around the area. The lovely, friendly owners of the property - Anna, and Toby - bent over backwards to provide us with information on all the best places to visit, as well as the best places to eat ranging from their recommended, budget affordable, to the more expensive gastro dining experiences. This was such a help, as we had not visited this area before, and it was very handy to have some information to refer to. The highlights of the week were Brimham Rocks - wow what a place - an absolute must for all those who love walking in amongst ancient rocks with spectacular views. Fountains Abbey, and water gardens, and Hackfall. Delicious food, local ales, and cider served from the friendly Black Horse Pub, just a few yards away. They even offer a Take Away service for those who prefer to eat at home. We should have, had our holiday in May, but because of Covoid 19, it was sadly cancelled. However Sykes were brilliant and re-booked us at the first opportunity which was in October. We can thoroughly recommend their company, and have booked with them on several other occasions, but we have to say this year - despite the difficulties they faced because of the virus - they pulled out all the stops to keep us up to date. We would certainly recommend both them, and the lovely gem of a holiday let - The Dower House Cottage, as well as Toby, and Anna, who did us proud.

About the location

KIRKLINGTON

Bedale 6 miles; Masham 7 miles; Thirsk Railway Station 9 miles.

The pretty village of Kirklington lies east of Masham and south of Bedale, mid-way between Yorkshire’s two famous National Parks, the Dales and the Moors. There are some pretty walks from the cottage, around the rolling arable fields that surround the village. Kirklington is a well laid out village with a huge village green surrounded by lovely older houses as well as a church and village pub. Across the fields (1/2 mile) is Camp Hill Adventure Park, and within easy reach is the historic, market town of Masham, which is situated on the River Ure. Set in gently rolling farmland, the town boasts a huge market square, where a Wednesday market has recently been joined by a popular Saturday market. Masham boasts a range of crafts, galleries, shops, restaurants and pubs, and is the home to the Black Sheep Brewery, which now brews 11 million pints of beer a year! The cathedral city of Ripon is a short drive away. West Tanfield with its two competing pubs is about a 10 minute drive - one has been voted the best beer garden in the UK, overlooking the River Ure. Gardeners will enjoy the Thorp Perrow Arboretum and the gardens at Constable Burton, and don't miss the weird and wonderful "Forbidden Corner" near Middleham! Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Gardens (a World Heritage Site) is about a 20 minute drive and you can enjoy one of the largest and best preserved monasteries in England or walk the seven bridges walk – a must. Ideally placed for exploring all of the famous Dales of the Yorkshire Dales National Park or the North York Moors National Park. The city of York is less than an hour away and Harrogate is about 40 minutes’ drive.
