“The Barn is a great place to stay if you like peace and quiet.”

Great for seeing the stars at night. Lots of parking spaces. Very easy to find. Was great for us as we have family in both Pocklington and Full Sutton.

“It’s so quiet at this cottage it feels like you could be miles from civilisation but there are other cottages all around and the rest of the hamlet.”

Wonderful relaxing time would strongly recommend
Mr Squires July 2019

“The cottage was spacious and had really nice views from both bedrooms across the valley.”

It also had plenty of parking space for many vehicles if necessary. A couple of things we were disappointed about, one was as we had booked a fortnight at the cottage we did expect a visit from the cleaners on the following Saturday to refresh the bed lining towels as well as the toiletries that were provided on arrival, this didn't happen as we did not receive any communication while we were there. The other was some of the equipment is looking very tired and some didn't work properly within the kitchen. I left a list of things for the owner that needed replacing or mending. Other wise we had a great time there and if the equipment was improved we would not hesitate to book the cottage again if returning to that area. I am happy for you to publish my feed back, but feel you should investigate whether the things I have mentioned has been corrected, and if they have, my feedback does not to put anyone else from staying there!

“The Barn is in a beautiful position in the village with outstanding views of the countryside.”

The location is very quiet and peaceful and conducive to a very relaxing holiday. The kitchen would benefit from some basic improvements such as providing baking trays, a decent paring knife and some cleaning materials. The big problem we had was the very noisy bed. Every time we got in or out it made a noise. Hard to describe but it woke me every time. Fabulous shower in the second bedroom and unlimited hot water were a huge plus. Footpath from the back door giving access to perfect dog walks was a great bonus. All in all it was a good choice for us.
Ms Brannigan June 2019

“I would have liked a shower attachment in the bathroom”
Miss Whitlam June 2019

“Beautiful location with great views.”

Cottage really clean and everything needed was provided. Only reason dropped one on comfort was the sofa is a bit tired and very low., and the mattress in the second bedroom could do with replacing. Certainly won't stop us coming back though.
Mr Deane May 2019

“Good location with fantastic views!”

“This is the first Sykes holiday I have taken.”

I was very lucky with the area of Pocklington in Yorkshire, as I didnt research it . I was very busy around the time I was due to go on the holiday and was unable to commit to the whole 7 days, only taking in Wednesday till Saturday. I had to contact Sykes twice before I went to check up on my details and explain the fact that I would not be able to go on the specified date, and therefore asked them to notify the key holder, which they did. They also supplied me with their telephone number which was invaluable on the date I arrived as although I had a sat nav. and the post code, it just took me to near the property. There were other adjoining properties in the area - so as it was dark when I got there around 8pm it was difficult to locate the property straight away. However, after contacting the owner - she kindly came down to meet me. My suggestion would be a small sign near the entrance to the telephone box, directing to the barn - which would be helpful. The property was lovely and spotlessly clean. The owner had the heating on the temperature 24/7, which we really appreciated as it was kept warm with it being February. My friend visited me and I picked her up in York - we had a lovely day there. Then as she stayed a couple of days we went to Bridlington a fishing port near by. That was good too. I did take out insurance, but it would have been nice if I could have had a refund of the days not used - due to circumstances. But, that was difficult to plan for - and it all worked out in the end. Overall, my experience and that of my friend was that we were not disappointed.. and we would definately return. Glad I tried Sykes, Thank you.

“Warm and clean on arrival.”

Found lots of extras we weren't expecting such as kitchen roll, toilet rolls, soap, dishwasher tablets, tea towels. Very well thought out by owners for the comfort of the visitor. Fabulous views in a quiet setting. Comfortable house. Would definitely recommend. The only negative was that we found the beds a little too hard for us.
Mr Simmons September 2018

“The Barn was a great base from which to visit a whole host of attractions.”

We visited York twice,Whitby,Scarborough,Bridlington,Pocklington on market day,Burnby Hall gardens,Langlands Garden Centre,Harrogate and the wonderful Castle Howard. Time spent in the Barn was relaxing & comfortable & we would recommend it.
Mrs Hall July 2018

“Very nice accommodation, beautiful views extending for miles, very quite and peaceful, great parking loads of room.”

Nice countryside walks beside the accommodation.
Mr Tugwell June 2018

“Thanks to everbody involved we had the best holiday for many years,the Barn was ideal in a beautiful location .”

We would recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful quiet holiday
Mrs Drury April 2018

“The direction to the property were poor.”

We called at a farm to ask directions because initially we were unable to contact the owner by phone. He rang us back and his directions were concise and simple to follow. Please read your directions, the last 2 are "Continue onto Meltonby Ln Turn right and destination will be on the left". It needs to say something like:- "As you drive into the village of Yapham you will see a red telephone box ahead on the left hand side of the road. Turn left alongside this phone box down a concrete lane, which ends at your destination" Your directions don't even mention the name of the village (Yapham) where the barn is situated. In such a rural area precise directions are crucial, particularly if arriving in the evening. More accurate information should, hopefully, help future holiday makers. Judith Drury.
