Due to location you do need a car to get to local amenities in Pocklington. Good supermarkets there too. There was no dishwasher (as in listings) in the property, didn’t bother me but might bother others! There was no “selection” of books, and only 3 DVDs in the cottage. There was a folder with limited information and the some of the information leaflets were a couple of years out of date. The cottage was clean and towels and bedding spotless. My son loved the double headed shower! Overall - happy customer.

“A lovely clean cottage in a quiet village .”

The Courtyard is well furnished and within 2 miles of shops and pubs/restaurant. A particular favourite eatery was the Feathers Hotel in Pocklington. Superb food-the herb crusted Chicken in Peppercorn sauce was amazing! The only slight downside was the wifi which was patchy and phone signal also not great. Overall a fantastic week and the owners are lovely.
Mr Hiscocks June 2019

“We had a couple of issues when we arrived, but they were very quickly sorted.”

Very convenient cottage for Pocklington (2.1 miles) and the surrounding area. We will definitely stay again.
Mrs Hill May 2019

“Courtyard was a lovel cottage.”

Very comfortable and a relaxing area not far from the town of pocklington for all your amenities. Wi fi very good .not very far from park and ride to go into York. The owner spotted us sat outside and came to see if everything alright and we had a nice chat. Looking forward to our next visit.

“The property was alright, but not many places to go walking with the dog locally.”

The electrical goods either need replaced or repaired as dont work properly.
Mrs Banton April 2019

“The position of The Coutyard is great for walking as there are lots of footpaths leading from the property.”

The property itself is adequate for short periods, but if staying for more than one week with more than two people, it would prove difficult as far as storage is concerned. Overall a pleasant week.
Mrs Green March 2019

“Arrived on a cold, wet March day.”

No radiators turned on at all so took a while to warm up. Lacking in finishing touches, one cushion per settee. No bedside table or bedside lamp on one side of bed, in double bedroom. Wardrobe door opened wrong way round so very difficult to use. Never saw owner. Won’t be returning when next in area. Disappointing.
Mrs Kidd December 2018

“Cottage could have been cleaner, particularly cooker which had not been cleaned in a long time.”

We booked for a month and expected that linen and towels would be changed and regular cleaning would be done as part of the cost. We did get clean linen and towels after 2 weeks but only because we saw the cleaners and asked them.

Thank you for your feedback. The comments you have made have been passed to the owner to look in to. If you have any issues whilst staying in one of our properties, please don't hesitate to contact us so that we can get this resolved for you as quickly as possible. Sykes owner relations

“Very peaceful and convenient location.”
Mr Chambers August 2018

“Everywhere clean but the plastic covers on the beds made for very sweaty nights!”

We were surprised that nobody was there to welcome us and show us the cottage and the next morning we discovered there was no hot water. This was quickly sorted the next day. We were staying here while waiting to go into our new home so not really a fair review as a holiday cottage, but represents value for money
Mrs Warnes July 2018

“Really nice place enjoyed my stay Would go again”
Mrs Stewart July 2018

“A nice cottage in a lovely area of Yorkshire.”

Very peaceful
Mrs Matthews June 2018

“The courtyard was exactly what we wanted .”

My 91 year old father came with us ,he is unable to walk long distances due to trouble with his legs .this cottage was perfect x small and compact quiet,in the country, close to shops..we all had a lovely time thank you xx
Ms Fitzpatrick June 2018

“The cottage was lovely.”

.. very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. We had 2 small dogs who thoroughly enjoyed themselves roaming freely. The cottage is in Yapham which is about 2 miles from the town of Pocklington.. which is very pretty and has a lovely canal with picnic area. The cottage is 12 miles from York and the best way to get there is to drive to Grimston Bar and park and ride... parking us free and the bus is £3.10 return. All in all I am very pleased with the cottage and the contact we had with Sykes. I look forward to booking another cottage with them in the near future.
Mr Fritchley May 2018
