- Mr Farquharson, August 2020
Mr Cattley October 2019

“On arrival we found the accommodation very inviting, warm, clean and well equipped.”

There was fresh flowers in the lounge, bottle of wine and milk in the fridge. The kitchen had everything needed for preparing a snack to full cooked meal. Would definitely stay again.

Everything we needed in the apartment. Comfortable and roomy. Excellent location. Came for the Cycling World Championships and was easy access to Harrogate. Also trips to Fountains Abbey and the Dales.

Mrs Bergmann May 2019

“The apartment is very well equiped and good located, at the edge of the towncentre, next to Ripon Canal and very close to the Skell River.”

The Yorkshire Dales can be entered by several, very nice routes. We like to stay in a town that is not too big (like Ripon), with a good choice of shops, restaurants and pubs and not too far from walking possibilities. We enjoyed making trips every day to historical towns and villages, monuments, woods, gorges, waterfalls, trainviaducts and were very pleased by the kindness of the people we met. The Yorkshire Dales offer a lot of beautiful and interesting places; it was difficult for us to choose and find a good balance between nature, towns, abbeys, castles and gardens. Tourist Information of Ripon was a good help to us for making choices. We loved The Dales and its tales!

“Had a great time in 14b Canal Wharf Ripon.”

Ideal position to explore the city and surrounding area. The apartment is warm, clean and comfortable. Everything was was available for our use. No need to bring any kitchen utensils etc., when going to 14b all is provided. This was our third stay in 14b, and we hope to be back again soon.

Mr Jedrysik October 2018

“The welcome package was a great surprise.”

Location and apartment great. Attention to the designated place to car park, very tight.

Ms Nichol August 2018

“This flat is so clean, comfortable, welcoming.”

A true home from home. In a beautiful location, it is close to the centre of Ripon and one evening I spent an hour listening to bell ringing practice in the cathedral, although far enough away not to be intrusive. There are a lots of things to do in the area. Sadly I missed some of the ice cream parlours and will have to come back.

Mr Dalton August 2018

“Excellent in every way, cleanliness, location, facilities, you can tell the owners really pride themselves with this apartment.”

- Mr Dalton, August 2018
Mr Gordon June 2018

“Sykes website was easy to use and very efficient communications leading up to holiday.”

The apartment was excellent, clean, well equipped and a much appreciated welcoming pack for us on arrival which included the essentials of milk, tea bags, biscuits and a bottle of win, the owner also provided very detailed information about access etc. .The location was ideal and very handy for all the local amenities and with the great weather there was a very relaxed, almost continental, feel about the whole holiday. Will certainly use Sykes for future holiday bookings and will certainly use this apartment again at some point.

“Fantastic”

What a outstanding place this really is the apartment it’s self as everything you need and more ! The only thing is the traffic is a bit noisy on the main road but we can’t complain about anything at all I loved it . Every my 6 month old daughter loved the cot to thank you very much for a fantastic stay xx

“A mixed bag”

We fully agree with other reviews regarding the location and cleanliness of the property, it was spot on! The owners clearly take great pride in their property and many little extras are provided. In that sense it was a real home from home. If you wish to use the twin beds however, it would be advisable to stipulate this on booking. The website pictures give the impression that both beds are made up, but we ended up using 2 rooms. Another reviewer has mentioned internal noise and our first night was horrendous. We were woken at 2am by doors banging, loud voices and even louder music. This lasted until 3.30am. The music then stopped but the occupants continued to shout and bang doors loudly until 5am. It appears the occupants were then away for the remainder of the week as all was quiet. We fully understand that the owners have no responsibility for this, but feel we should mention it for other visitors to the apartment.

“A cosy little home away from home”

We had a wonderful two week stay in the apartment. It is beautifully located between the river Skell and Ripon Canal and it is only a five to eight minute walk into town. The flat is ideal for families as there are loads of things to do like feeding the ducks (duck food is sold by Richard if you stand in front of the entrance door and turn slightly right) and playing at (and in) the river. Directly in front of the house is a perfect little farm shop called "The Forge" where you can buy yummy sandwiches, cakes, milk, eggs, etc. You should see Ripon Cathdral. It is very impressive. The flat itself is very cosy and offers wonderful views. You can hear the bells from Ripon Cathedral which is beautiful. We stayed for two weeks and even got the linen and towels changed after the first week plus we had vine, cookies and other goodies waiting for us when we arrived.

“Perfect accommodation”

“Mixed experience”

We agree with other reviews about how comfortable and well equipped the apartment is, also very light and bright even in November. It is obvious that the owners, and cleaner, take great care of it and it shows. The bedrooms are surprisingly spacious and the lounge is big enough for a dining table. The foregoing are the positives but to be fair to people who use reviews to help decide on a property the following is also what we experienced. Bearing in mind that the apartment is in a small block with three others nevertheless we did not expect the level of sound intrusion from especially the apartment below. This family were going about their lives but it isn't something we wanted to be able to so easily hear when on a holiday. Having said that there was never any noise during the night and our sleep was never disturbed. The other issue that we weren't expecting was the level of traffic noise into the bedrooms. The road that runs alongside the apatments is busy morning and late afternoon, in the morning the traffic starts at around 7am and did wake us. The double glazing, for some reason, did not take out much of the noise at all.

Mrs Morton August 2016

“The apartment was perfect for us, a real "home from home".”

We had everything we needed and the flat was very comfortable (beds, chairs, temperature). We initially had a problem with the TV; on contacting the owner, he was very helpful and quickly sorted out the problem. Location was excellent too - on the canal for walking; close to the cathedral and shops / cafes.

- Mrs Morton, August 2016
Mrs Pritchett August 2016

“The downside to this apartment was the road noise which can be heard in the bedrooms during the night.”

The double glazing clearly needs upgrading and also noise from the apartment below a young mother with two children under five years could clearly be heard shouting at them when they were crying all of which can be very distressing to listen to. On viewing the visitors book other people staying there had had the Same problem and on this basis we would not stay there again or recommend it to anyone else.

“Don't forget the Old Peculiar”

Long way up the stairs,well worth the effort. Everything is right,the right kitchen equipment,the right amount of storage In the bedrooms,the TV and DVD are right. No balcony,but open the door and you could be anywhere in the Med,the sun streams in the evening,with the advantage of Theakstones beer brewed just down the road. This apartment is a real gem,clean,fresh,modern,within walking distance of the everything in Ripon . Ripon is lovely,the cathedral,the spa gardens,the market place, everything,even Sainsburys fits in the big picture Book this apartment before others fill it

Mr Grieve October 2015

“14B Canal Wharfe is a really nice flat in an excellent location - Only a couple of minutes walk to the town centre and also a good starting point for walks along the river, the canal and around Ripon.”

Plenty nearby pubs and restaurants for a good selection of eating and drinking.

- Mr Grieve, October 2015
Mrs Fountain April 2015

“Perfect”

Don't be misled by Sykes' three tick rating. I stayed in this delightful apartment for a few days restorative time away from a hectic life and it's absolutely perfect. Impeccably clean; well thought out; comfortable; practical and with everything you could ever possibly need and more. A lovely welcome pack of bread, cheese, biscuits and wine were here on arrival, as well as a pint of milk in the fridge and fresh flowers on the table; toiletries provided, as well as a few other basics; free wifi available, as well as DVD player (integral in the tv - took me a few days to discover it!). The location is fantastic, overlooking the the canal basin from the sitting room balcony and the cathedral from the bedrooms, whence you can also catch sight of the river. Walking distance from the cathedral, other sites of interest and the town and market square, with major supermarkets close by - one entered from the market square and another just 5 minutes drive away. It's on the top floor of a building with a shared front door and entrance hallway, but I didn't hear any of the other residents at any time during my stay, except when I met them in the stair well a couple of times. The flat itself is very bright and comfortable. It's entirely suitable for one or two people or for a family with two children, though might be a little cramped for four adults. Really, I think, worth more than Sykes' three tick rating. Five on here for me. I will most definitely be back.
