Midsummer Cottage

I hate to leave negative feedback.

The cottage is in a great location. The shower was dreadful hardly any water at all. The cooker grill section didn't close and the oven needed cleaning. The bed was comfortable however there was something on the headboard that definitely should gave been removed. The whole place needs some TLC to be absolutely honest. Would we go back I'm afraid not.

The cottage itself was clean and tidy however both the gardens needed the long grass cutting, the summer house was not fit for purpose, very poor, and the oil tank on the front of the property was leaking and the smell was very unpleasant.

We did report the oil tank as soon as we arrived.

Really enjoyed our stay a lovely clean site set in quiet beautiful countryside and only a few minutes from beautiful Thornton le dale Perfect safe rear garden for our two small dogs the only problem was that the garden needs a bit of tlc, the grass was so long we couldn’t see our little dog and the summerhouse doors wouldn’t close , maybe an oversight and hopefully the owner will bring up to the standard of the front garden

Loved our stay but had few niggles which didn't spoil our stay but I hope are passed on to owners to solve for future guests.

Back garden needed mowing, would benefit from small BBQ and garden sun loungers, freezer box in fridge would not shut due to excessive ice, kettle needed scaling (had to go out and buy/do immediately), no booklets on how how to open 2 skylights, how to work central heating. Great location, lots to do and access, great site and would recommend!

Absolutely beautiful accommodation for myself my husband and our 2 wire haired sausages !

! Everything that you could possibly need in an amazing and lovely cottage . Lovely surprise was the welcome basket . Bed very comfy and we had a few brilliant nights sleep as it is so quiet ! A big bonus for us was the fact that the dogs could go out into the garden without their leads on as it is fully enclosed .Soft fluffy towels and beautiful smelling bedding all included in the price . Cottage is set at the far end of a small and very quiet caravan park and even though it was Easter weekend we never heard a thing . Also it is a 5 min drive from the very picturesque village of Thornton-Le-Dale …All in all I wouldn’t hesitate to come back here and to recommend to others !! Many thanks Carol …Pete….Buster and Tilly

Absolutely lovely stay (14th to 21st Feb 2026) The cottage was warm & cosy yet also bright and airy.

Spotlessly clean and well equipped (noticeable omission of a can opener! Luckily we travelled there in our camper van so had one to hand). Our dogs loved the well secured gardens and we appreciated the privacy and the property is not overlooked. Only negative is the bed which is both uncomfortable and too low (we put our memory foam topper from the camper on which helped a little but not perfect). Great location for exploring the area’s sights and attractions. We will be returning, infact we are booked for Easter weekend however in the camper on the site. Highly recommended Jonathan, Simon, Hannibal & Gracie

Absolutely brilliant never done this before spotlessly clean well done the staff at this venue beautiful surroundings will definitely be back

Shower hold was broken did phone to very nice lady to talk to could do with a new mattress but everything was perfect

The cottage was easy to find and had good parking.

On first arrival we were impressed by the cleanliness and the overall look.There was everything you needed and the cottage was warm and cosy. The television in the lounge has an intermittent fault where it turns off and you only have sound.The bedroom whilst it was a good size the bed is very low down and could be a problem for those less agile. The mattress however was very soft and uncomfortable it needs replacing urgently. The bathroom again is clean and the towels are very good however the water pressure on the shower is very low and makes it difficult to have a proper shower we had a issue with the shower head holder which was broke although we did report this. There is a summer house in the garden with lights and a sound system however there was a short in the system so it didn’t work. These are simple things and easily resolved . Overall we had a good stay and if these issues were resolved particularly the mattress issue then we would consider returning.

Lovely property to stay in but could really have benefited from more light in the living room as it was impossible to read in the evening as it was too dark.

My stay at Midsummer Cottage was let down by the facilities.

The cottage itself is delightful and is perfect for exploring the area, also the garden is safe for anyone wishing to take their dog along. Unfortunately the tv signal is very intermittent so you cannot watch stream programmes properly. The bulb in the bathroom didn’t work not a big deal but should have been checked. Also with no bedside lamps the idea of a remote control to switch off the lights when in bed is a great idea except the remote control did not work probably needing a new battery again something that should have been checked. We had a couple of friends over for a meal who lived nearby but had to ask them to bring their own cutlery and wine glasses. The table sat 4 people comfortably but with only 3 wine glasses and cutlery missing we could not set the table for four people. All of these things are easy fixes but are frustrating for the visitors. I suggest the owner stays in the cottage for a week and then would understand visitors frustration.

It was clean & spacious.

Gardens a little over run at the rear. The bed was far too low, especially as I have Arthritis, difficult to get in and out. It wasn’t as welcoming as some of the Sykes cottages we have been in over the years we have had our little dog

It is nice but basic

We were very surprised that the cottage was part of a camping/caravan site.

We only discovered this a couple of weeks before departure when we got to the cottage. We were disappointed that the summer house electricity wasn’t working so we didn’t sit out at night. There were no recycling bins. The cottage was clean and fairly well equipped.

A lovely well appointed cottage ,excellent facilities.

Fully enclosed garden brilliant for our dog Alfie.Our second visit to this cottage and I am sure it won't be the last. The only thing that needs addressing is the bed.although comfortable is very low.and the mattress fits within the frame.Both myself and my partner caught our shins on the corner bringing blood. It is situated in a very nice area and we will return.

Lovely modern cottage, clean with a great garden for dogs.

Parking space a bonus. Near Old Malton, Malton and Thornton Dale.
