"We arrived at the property as arranged at 3pm for the key collection,unfortunately the apartment wasn't ready for us and we had to wait until 5pm before the cleaner finished and we could go in The apartment did not live up to expectations and is in need of a deep clean and refurb."
The Venetian Blinds are very dusty and the carpet in the lounge is badly stained.The sofa is low and saggy and most uncomfortable. On a positive side it's in a super position being just a stroll away from Ripon City Centre and the car parking is a definite plus With some TLC this property could be lovely
We are sorry to hear you were disappointed. We will address the points you have made. Property Owner

"Can't recommend this property highly enough."
Perfectly located, spotlessly clean, well equipped, and with excellent attention to detail. Generous welcome goodies, and fresh flowers. Hosts are always friendly and helpful.

"Perfect apartment in a great location by the canal basin."
Spoke to the owner a few days before gave me all the information I needed and reassured me that if anything was wrong to get in touch straight away of course, we didn't need to. The apartment was spotlessly clean, milk, wine and biscuits left which was a nice touch. A perfect place to stop in a beautiful location.

"Thank you once again for a wonderful stay."
Great location, close to town and walks along the river.
-
"Another great stay at 14b Canal Wharf!"
Thank you to to the hosts for the generous welcome goodies and fresh flowers. This was our second stay, and we will certainly be returning, which should say it all.
-
"Perfect property for us - clean, comfortable and well positioned for both the town and nice walks along the canal and rivers."
Minor comments - some inconsistencies between what Sykes says and the owner. E.g. Sykes says must ring for key collection instructions but owner says he routinely sends them out the Monday or Tuesday beforehand. Perhaps Sykes could say this and just give a number to ring if you don't receive them or have any queries. Also Sykes say checkout is 10, owner says 9:30. And instructions for the key safe seemed to be for a different type (but not a problem as straightforward to operate). But as I say these are minor points - the property was excellent and we enjoyed our stay.

"This apartment was excellent for our 6 day stay."
We loved the location, and walked many evenings along the river or canal, and the walk into the town centre was very pleasant too. The parking was convenient as well. The kitchen is small but well equipped, the living room is spacious, light in day time but also well lit for reading in the evenings and the bedrooms are fine, we had no problems with noise from traffic.
Thanks for your feedback, it is appreciated. Pam & Duncan Property Owner

"We loved it here!"
Well located, near the scenic canal bowl, with it's level pleasant footpath, yet only a five minute walk to the Cathedral and city centre. Ripon also has 3 good museums. The nearby farm/sandwich shop was super too! The apartment was comfortable, spacious, and well equipped. Fresh flowers, biscuits, and wine, were very generous, and greatly appreciated. Allocated parking was a big bonus. Hosts were friendly and responded promptly. We will certainly be back.
Thanks for your kind words, we look forward to seeing you again. Pam & Duncan Property Owner

"We would highly recommend this property."
The location was perfect, quiet and peaceful with a pleasant short walk through the cathedral grounds to the town centre. It was an ideal base for exploring this part of Yorkshire. The facilities at the apartment provided everything required including parking. We would hope to return sometime in the future.
-
"We had a lovely stay here."
The apartment was very clean and there were welcoming gifts such as milk, tea, coffee, biscuits and flowers which were a nice touch. The position of it near the canal and so close to the centre of Ripon was ideal. It also made a great base to explore other areas such as Fountains Abbey, Harrogate, York and Durham. There is a regular bus nearby to Harrogate if you want a day off driving. Would recommend this place to others.
-
"As many have commented, great location."
Close to town and the various rivers winding their way through and around Ripon.
-
"The flat has a good location, it is bright and nicely furnished."
Communication with the landlord was easy and friendly. Unfortunately, the bedrooms face the street and the windows are not very soundproof. The flat needs more attention in general. The kitchen desperately needs new pans and kitchen tools. The Teflon pans are so encrusted and scratched - you don't want to cook with them. The kettle urgently needs descaling. The extractor fan: don't touch it! We had to clean a lot before we could start cooking. The seal on the glass partition by the bathtub: Oh no! Etc.
I am sorry you found problems with cleanliness. I will forward your comments to the housekeeper. My wife is going to do the change - over this week and will attend to all the points you raise. I will accompany her to attend to any other problems. We do value feedback from our guests and apologise for the lack of attention to detail. Thank you for your helpful comments. Property Owner

-
"14b Canal Warf is a lovely property."
Cozy and warm with all the facilities one would need. The location is wonderful being so close to the city centre and right on the canal with it lovely walk taking you past two nature reserves, the race course and several locks. We would very much recommend this property we loved it so much we stayed for 4 weeks
-
"Once again a great stay."
Perfectly clean - thank you so much. Lovely little welcome gifts of milk, flowers, biscuits and wine - much appreciated. A real home from home - great location. We feel really 'at home' here. Hopefully we will be back soon.

"Brilliant apartment- a real home from home."
Spotlessly clean, comfortable and airy. Tastefully furnished with nice pictures also! Best holiday rental we have stayed in. Very nice welcome of wine, flowers, biscuits and milk - gratefully received after a long journey from Kent. Lovely touch. Access to the apartment was easy but the key safe is a bit stiff and took me a few attempts- two hands needed!
-
"Good position of the accommodation in Ripon and convenient for us to explore The Dales, N Yorks Moors,castles, abbeys and gardens, as well as Ripons museums, market and shops."
Good holiday and a good property to rent, we would recommend it as a base.

"Excellent location and the flat perfect."

"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!
-
"The accommodation was so well appointed with all the right facilities allowing us to really enjoy a wonderfully comfortable 2 weeks living in the UK."
-
"The welcome package was a great surprise."
Location and apartment great. Attention to the designated place to car park, very tight.
-
"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.
-
"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.
-
"Excellent in every way, cleanliness, location, facilities, you can tell the owners really pride themselves with this apartment."
-
"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.
-
"Beautiful property, very clean and well equipped."
you can just arrive with clothes & food, great location, will book again.
-
"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.
-
"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.
