Yon Cottage

The owner provided us with a new walking map which was very helpful.

We also got information about an exhibition and restaurants and interesting places nearby. We felt welcome.

We had a wonderful week at yon cottage it was a lovely cosy cottage spotlessly clean and very comfortable, equipped to a high standard yes as other comments a little noise from traffic at peak times but didn’t spoil our stay in any way it quietened down by evening time lovely views and good location to visit other parts of Yorkshire, would highly recommend .

Yon Cottage made for a lovely relaxing stay.

The booking and administration for our stay was straightforward. Ali’s and Jerry’s introduction was warm and welcoming and the standard of the accommodation, both in terms of the facilities and cleanliness, was outstanding. We definitely hope to return! Thank you again.

This is a superb cottage with welcoming owners.

Nothing is too much trouble for them: they really do go above and beyond. Everything in the cottage is perfect and the location is convenient and picturesque . As we said last year, “simply the best cottage we have stayed in”, and it continues to be so.

Yon cottage is a lovely cottage and Ali & Gerry take good care of it.

Well recommended.

Perfect cottage and perfect hosts make Yon Cottage a gem of a find.

Ali and Gerry, the owners are terrific, even before we set off Ali got in touch and by the end of the conversation, I felt like we were old friends. On arrival they are there to greet you and as they only live two doors away, are available if needed but give you the privacy and freedom of leaving you to enjoy your holiday. The cottage itself is wonderful and the photos do not do it justice, it is so comfortable with a great sofa, comfy chair and upstairs the bed is super. The wi-fi is surprisingly strong (We took a firestick and it worked a treat) and all of the electrical items from the smart televisions, to the induction hob are almost new and the whole cottage, although traditional feels so clean and modern. Getting around from Stonegrave is very easy with York and Scarborough within an easy drive and the trip over "Heartbeat Country" to Whitby is a delight. Malton is the local town for provisions with Morrisons and a Lidl but when you park up and properly explore Malton it is a lovely little town with a lot of independant shops, cafes, restaurants, delis and bars staffed by very friendly people. Yon cottage is a 20-25 minutes from Malton so it is fairly remote but the local scenery and countryside make any trip, be it for a day out or just some shopping, a lovely experience. As it is remote, you might be surprised at some reviews mentioning road noise, well all I can say is that it did not bother us. Yes, you do get lorries, tractors, cars and motorbikes passing and it is in a 40mph zone but the peace of the setting more than offsets that. Listening to the birds and looking for the squirrels in the trees, looking at the stars in the dark night sky and relaxing with a glass of wine are the order of the day in a property like this and if you want a week away in a super, comfortable cottage, where you can wind down then I would recommend that you book Yon Cottage (Or for larger groups the cottage next door, also owned by Ali and Gerry) and have a cracking holiday. Thanks again to Ali and Gerry, needless to say, we loved our week!!

A lovely comfortable cottage with everything you need.

An amazing view in a quiet village with main towns within a short distance. A perfect location for two people. The road can be noisy but doesn’t take away from the lovely cottage.

Had the most wonderful stay at this stunningly beautiful cottage.

Everything you could possibly need was provided. Log fire in the front room. Wonderfully comfortable bed. Perfectly situated for travelling about through some stunning scenery. We went at the beginning of October and were lucky enough for the weather to be mild enough to enjoy a few glasses of wine in the garden, enjoying the beautiful sunsets and to be able to hear and see the owls flying around! Ali and Gerry met us when we arrived and were so friendly and welcoming. We honestly didn't want to go home. Cannot recommend this cottage highly enough and we very much hope we can visit again soon.

Very good holiday at Yon cottage Really friendly welcome on arrival Spotlessly clean and warm

Owners were very welcoming.

Ideally situated for places we wished to visit. Good offroad parking. We would stay there again if in the area.

The owners were very friendly and helpful.

It is a lovely cottage in a perfect location. We did not find the road to be a problem at all. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and offered everything we needed for a holiday. Highly recommended.

We stayed for 3 weeks, and it was lovely and peaceful.

The owners were very friendly and helpful too.

Yon cottage provides an ideal location for visiting Yorkshire.

The property is comfortable and well laid out. Ali and Gerry are excellent hosts making you feel very welcome from the start

The owners, Ali and Gerry, were very welcoming and the cottage was beautiful.

It was perfect for me and everything I needed was provided. The rooms were very stylish and a lot of thought has gone into them and I enjoyed sitting in the enclosed garden too. There is some noise from the main road in rush hour but that wouldn't stop me from staying there again. Would definitely recommend and it is in a perfect location with many places to see in the area

Lovely property and lovely friendly owners.

It would be worthy of 110% rather than 100% if it wasn't for the quite busy noisy road running directly past. We noticed it probably more than most because where we live is very quiet. By the end of our week even we were less aware of it. Thoroughly recommend.

The cottage was great for the two of us.

The location was great. Never been to the Howardian Hills before and it was lovely. The road seemed to be loved by motorbikes but at night it was quiet so that was fine too.z

Yon Cottage was the perfect location to visit York and the surrounding area.

Our hosts were friendly and helpful. The property was very clean and comfortable and had everything you could need for your stay. Highly recommended.

Yon Cottage is simply the best cottage we have stayed in.

Location, ambience, design, attention to detail were perfect. The hosts were welcoming but unobtrusive. We had a fabulous week and sad that we can’t give a higher rating!

Very clean and comfortable with everything you need.

The view is wonderful. The small garden is perfect for sitting out in on a lovely evening. The road noise can be a bit much at times but not a problem. Loved it and would definitely stay again.

First time we have used Sykes holiday cottages and we are very impressed.

What a lovely cottage.

The owners are on hand if you need them but not intrusive. Plenty of walks from the doorstep. The cottage is well equipped with everything you could need. It is near a road but this didn't bother us and it's worth it anyway to see the beautiful part of this country. Would recommend.

Beautiful little cottage quaint yet contemporary with everything you could possibly need.

Spotlessly clean and very well located to visit places of interest definitely the nicest Sykes cottage that we have stayed in so far. Host was very welcoming and met us on arrival can't recommend highly enough

Lovely cottage, warm and comfortable.

Spacious rooms and had all the amenities we needed. Friendly hosts, available near by if we needed them.

Excellent property, good location.

Well equipped

Yon Cottage was a lovely, cosy, comfortable stay.

The owners are very friendly. The cottage was exceptionally clean and tidy throughout. It was such a relief to have easy car parking which really helped! We appreciated that the owners had places small lights on the stairs so we could see where we were stepping during the night- what a great idea. We would come back for another stay

THE PROPERTY WAS EXTREMELY CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE.

THE ALI AND GERRY WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL .

A well equipped and comfortable cottage with everything needed for a stay away from home.

You’re greeted by the owners on arrival who live nearby and are only too pleased to help with any problems or queries you may have during your stay. Would definitely be at the top of the list for a holiday stay in the future.

The property was in excellent condition very very clean it was superb will be going back again.

Was worried about using sykes holiday let's but this experience was brilliant A1. THANKS

We absolutely loved our week at Yon Cottage.

It was a great base for exploring the area. The cottage was beautiful and spotlessly clean. Gerry the host met us on arrival and there was locally made cake on a welcome tray. It really was a fabulous week!

A beautiful little cottage, spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable.

Thank you to owners Gerry and Ali for a warm welcome, the lovely cake and milk in the fridge. The only downside was the busy road outside. We would definitely recommend a stay at Yon Cottage.

Wellcoming and helpful hostess.

Cosy decorated cottage. Nice bed. Well equipped bathroom, nice shower. Good location for visiting NT places and de national park.

Greeted by the owner's who couldn't have been more helpful, there property was beautiful, everything was spotless, the photo's online don't do it justice, I spent a week there and enjoyed every minute.

There are many places to visit just a short drive away, a superb bakery in hovingham around 2 miles away and a good local shop in the same location. I most certainly have no hesitation in recommending this property, I personally wouldn't think twice about returning, many thanks to Gerry and Ali

Its a very nice comfortable place to stay

A lovely lovely place to stay.

Perfectly restored, warm and cosy. Bed was really comfortable, everything you needed for a holiday in Yorkshire.

Really Beautiful and Extremely Well presented Cottage I can’t say enough positive things about this cottage.

The host Alison and Gerry were there to greet us upon arrival and are super nice and friendly. The cottage is just so well kept and you can see they pay so much attention to detail. The cottage was spotless upon arrival and a very thoughtful cake and milk was there to be enjoyed. They even left dishwasher tablets and clothes washing tablets. This came in so handy as we had just completed a 10 day cruise prior to our arrival and we so needed to wash our laundry. If I had to make any suggestions I would say an extra set of towels and a clothesline. Overall this is a really beautiful and perfect cottage for a couple to enjoy Thank You Ali and Gerry for letting us enjoy your perfect cottage Date of experience: 23 September 2023

We stayed for a week at Yon cottage it was very comfortable and cosy with excellent facilities .

Ali and Gerry were brilliant hosts and we would definitely stay again . Thank you Phil and Dawn

We had a wonderful time.

Yon Cottage was perfect, really cozy, comfy and a warm, friendly welcome. Great local walks and places to visit. Easy access to North Yorkshire Moors and the coast. Thank you. Tracey and Doug

A stunning little cottage and a very warm reception from the owner who was extremely helpful.

The place looked like it had just been built and greatly exceeded our expectations, while the view from upstairs was pretty special too. We tend not to re-visit places but this may prove the exception.

Beautiful cottage with gorgeous views.

There were lovely walks from the front door where you could appreciate the views even more. The cottage was comfortable, well equipped and had all that we needed for a wonderful relaxing week. Would definitely stay again in the future.

Great cottage lovely views but a noisy with the road but would stay again

The property suited our needs, very convenient for our days out to various places.

The road noise was more than we had expected, it is a busy road. It was a pity that there is`nt a solid fence between the cottage and the neighbours, for privacy. Otherwise, we had a good stay.

The property was great.

We really enjoyed our stay. The owners were friendly, and even provided cake and milk. The cottage was accurate to the listing. I only marked it down slightly as there were only 2 saucepans. It would have been good to have information in "the folder" about restaurants in the area. (Yes, we could have asked the owners, but didn't want to bother them.) My husband particularly liked the bedroom charging sockets.

We had a fabulous stay and loved the property.

It was the best equipped cottage we have stayed in. The bed was really comfy and we definitely hope to come back sometime.

Excellent accommodation for two people.

Well located for surrounding towns such as Helmsley and Thirsk. Private off road parking was great, although you had to be mindful of traffic on the adjacent B road which was obviously busier at work times. Hosts, Gerry & Ali were lovely when we met them and we encountered no problems which needed their attention. A thoroughly lovely break which included my own birthday midweek. We would certainly recommend this accommodation ☝️

Excellent place to stay.

The owners are friendly and the place itself is splendid. The location is great for access to nearby towns like Helmsley, Thirks and Milton. Great access for walks in the area and some marvellous monuments all with easy reach. Really enjoyed my stay and the cottage is really well equipped. Thank you

Beautiful cottage.

Had a lovely week. Very warm and cosy, quiet and peaceful and relaxing, lovely village, Ali and Gerry were lovely.

Fabulous week spent over Xmas in a lovely cottage.

The owners were very helpful, attentive and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The cottage is equipped with everything you would need for a self catered stay, was clean and comfortable. It is ideally located to get to the York park and ride, North Yorkshire Moors many attractions or the coastal towns like Whitby. I would highly recommend this cottage and many thanks to Gerry & Ali for a lovely stay.

Very helpful owners, very willing to assist with any queries.

Ideally situated for Helmsley,Castle Howard and the moorlands. Would have no reservations about recommendations. Thanks for a great stay.
