• "Wonderful cottage."

  Disappointed that the logs had been removed. Fancied a log fire as it was frosty at night.

  Hi, the pine cones are there for decoration purposes but can easily be removed to the bucket provided if you wanted to have a fire. It is a fully functioning fire and kindling and logs are available from the village shop. I haven't ever provided logs. Glad to hear you enjoyed everything else though. Regards Amanda Property Owner

• "Absolutely loved the cottage."

  We both said that we could live there. The Christmas decorations were a lovely surprise and made the cottage feel so welcoming and cosy. The weather was awful, during our stay, but we couldn't of wished to of been in a more comfortable and cosy cottage, while we sheltered from 'Storm Darragh'. We would definitely recommend 'The Cottage' to our friends and wouldn't think twice about staying again. The cottage had everything and more that we could need. We love everything about it. It was spotless and loved all of the finishing touches.

  Very comfortable Very well MAINTAINED Very cosy. The cottage was dressed for Xmas which was such a surprise and a really lovely touch. I personally think Sykes should be very proud of this property being listed through them and should give them your top Award. LOVED every minute of my stay and was sad to leave.

• "The cottage was immaculate and had everything you could need."

  The welcome pack was lovely with a great cake! Cottage was very comfortable and warm. Garden was a hit with my dog and I'm sure would be lovely to sit out in in the warmer months. Great walks from door and the town itself was perfect with a variety of independent shops and pubs. Parking outside was never an issue. The only slight issue was in my opinion the armchair was too large/not needed in the lounge. Overall a lovely peaceful stay. Thank you.

  The Cottage is tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and very well equipped, with everything you could possibly want or need for a relaxing break. It’s a spacious cottage, but still very warm and cosy. The sofa in the lounge is particularly comfortable, and much needed after a long day out walking. The bed and pillows are comfortable, and the bedding is excellent quality. The Cottage is situated on a quiet street, with only a short walk to the village centre. Overall, an excellent cottage, and a credit to Amanda (the owner).   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

• "Cottage was Ok, but the parking was not."

  No street lights meant that it was very dark outside and there was a steep bank to the cottage. Steps on the bank were sloping and in my opinion were dangerous. Recommend an outside light be fitted to the front door of the cottage as coming in at night was NOT good.(in fact I feel it was unsafe). Cottage itself was OK, but the shower was not. The heating control was almost immovable and the water was very hot. Kitchen. Christmas mat was slippery , kitchen was well equipped. Bedroom. Bed was comfortable. Living room. Sofa has seen better days and is very soft. Christmas tree was a nice touch. and we had to move it (minor detail)

  Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear you had issues with parking at the property - this is not something I have experienced at all during my time there, or that has been reported by other guests. We have had a mixture of guests with a range of mobility who have also never raised any issue with the few steps to reach the property as these are not what I would call steep. It has previously been discussed whether a light could be added to the exterior, but due to the priximity of the neighbouring properties and frequency of movement on this road - it is believed that a motion sensored light would cause quite a disruption to the neighbours facing. The sofa is just a few years old and from guest feedback is generally found to be comfortable, although I appreciate this is a matter of personal preference. My number is provided so that guests always have an opportunity to call with any in property issues, but I didn't receive any contact from you about the shower. It has since been checked and is fully functional, however you do need to press the button in whilst turning to adjust the temperature - a common safety feature to prevent accidental scalding.

DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED UPSTAIRS HAD WE HAVE KNOWN THIS WOULD NOT HAVE BOOKED CAUSED UPSET FOR US AND OUR PET. WE HOLIDAY IN DOG FRIENDLY PLACES 5 TIMES A YEAR AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS BEFORE.

AS YOU KEEP SAYING ABOUT THE COST OF ENERGY BUT NO HEATING NOT EVEN A FIRE AS A BACK UP NOT GREAT

  Hi, I'm sorry that you had such a terrible stay! The cream carpets are there to protect my own property from people and dogs walking in with dirty feet, and are clearly visible on the property photos, so shouldn't have been a surprise to you. Dog towels are provided in the porch area along with a shoe tray. The heating thermostat sits, clearly visible, next to the cupboard where the glasses are kept in the dining room. The boiler is 'on' all day long. On the thermostat there is a button with + sign on it, which, when pressed fires up the boiler and increases the temperature. There is also a large open fire in the living room which can be lit as and when guests like and has been used on many occasions. It isn't disguised, and there is a log basket, coal bucket and fire tools provided, so not sure how you missed its presence. My phone number is provided throughout the guest book, so a simple phone call could have resolved all of this rather than resorting to publishing a damning and unnecessary review Property Owner

• "Wonderful cottage, in a beautiful village and ideal location for exploring the North York Moors National Park."

  The Cottage was very clean, well laid out and had everything you could need, it was warm and cosy and the garden was lovely, a real sun trap on the decking where we sat out to enjoy meals and watch the birds and world go by. Thornton Le Dale is such a relaxing place, just a short walk to the end of the road from The Cottage and over the bridge across the ford takes you into a lovely little copse which follows the beck up towards the centre of the village and the duck pond (where we were lucky enough to see the abundance of ducklings!). We enjoyed wandering around the village on various easy going walks with our dog and for further adventures we went to Dalby Forest which is vast, as well as a scenic drive across the moors to Whitby. We also visited Ravenscar, Pickering, Helmsley and Scarborough which are all very easily accessible from this fabulous base. Also thank you to Amanda who was very quick to come over and sort out a minor problem with the heating. Couldn't recommend this place enough and i hope that i will be fortunate enough to stay here again in the future. Can also recommend the helpful and friendly team at Sykes, who, when our original cottage was cancelled due to covid restrictions, were very quick to infrom us and assist us with an alternative booking option, we were so grateful to be able to keep our dates and in hindsight we ended up in the best place we could have!

• "The cottage had everything we needed (including dog bowls)!"

  literally everything had been thought of. Information on local walks was at hand & would recommend walk 4 into Dalby forest. The cottage was very clean & comfortable & quiet set in a beautiful village. It takes a few minutes to walk to the centre of the village and duck pond. Would recommend the ice cream parlour

  . The cottage in Thornton dale was absolutely spotless & immaculate in every way . A real credit to its owners . Fabulous place to stay for a much needed break . Sykes cottages kept me informed at all times with no problems whatsoever. A genuine good company that are clearly professional. I will definitely use this company again on my next holiday . Thanks very much indeed .

• "We really loved staying in The Cottage."

  It is easily the most comfortable and well-equipped holiday cottage we have stayed in. All the equipment, furniture and fittings are of a very high standard. We will certainly come back (if we can find a vacant week or two - it is extremely popular)!

• "From the 1st moment we felt at home."

  Great location, well equipped and we had a smashing time. The village is lovely and felt quite at home and didn't want to leave which is always a great sign. The owner had thought a lot about the needs of guests and apart from the very minor point of the gate being padlocked and maybe the addition of a clothes horse could not have been faulted. We hope to return one day.

  THE OWNWERS HAVE CLEARLY TAKEN A GREAT DEAL OF TROUBLE TO ADD THE LTTLE THINGS THAT MAKE A STAY A HOME FROM HOME. THORTON LE DALE IS A PICTURESQUE VILLAGE GIVING EASY ACCESS TO THE NORTH YORK MOORS, WHITBY AND SCARBOROUGH. AS A FAMILY WE WOULD CERETAINLY RECOMMEND THIS COTTAGE TO FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS.
