Mrs Ashley August 2020

“It was a little difficult to find, our GPS directed us to a different farm property.”

When we eventually arrived we were very pleased with the cottage. My daughter was in the twin room and I had the double room. I had the best sleep I've had for a long time, the bed was really comfortable. Everywhere looked clean and there was plenty of hand sanitizer and antibacterial spray available. We couldn't work out how to use the grill but, all in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Mr Condon October 2019

“Only issue was that there was no frying pan, OK we only wanted one for one night and so didn't contact the owner.”

Well situated, quiet and comfortable and in good proximity of York, Beverley, Pocklington and many other places. Lots to do locally from here and a place that we might well visit again.

- Mr Condon, October 2019
Mrs Henderson August 2019

“Cottage was lovely and spacious.”

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 There was a folder with limited information and the some of the information leaflets were a couple of years out of date.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.

- Mrs Henderson, August 2019
Mr Milne August 2019

“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 Milne, August 2019
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.

- Mr Hiscocks, June 2019
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.

- Mrs Hill, May 2019
Mrs Weston April 2019

“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 Weston, April 2019
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 Banton, April 2019
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 Green, March 2019
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.

- Mrs Kidd, December 2018

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
Mrs Lamb October 2018

“Very peaceful and convenient location.”

- Mrs Lamb, October 2018
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

- Mr Chambers, August 2018
Mrs Warnes July 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

- Mrs Matthews, June 2018
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.

- Ms Fitzpatrick, June 2018

There are several world famous attractions nearby - majestic Castle Howard, beautiful Sledmere House, and of course the historic city of York. The town boasts a leisure centre offering a wide range of sports, including swimming, a Civic Centre and the Pocklington Arts Centre, which shows various films and stages live shows throughout the year. Pocklington is also home to Madhyamaka Kadampa Meditation Centre, known worldwide for its meditation courses and retreats, plus the KP Golf Club is situated approx. 1 mile away and offers wedding and other event facilities, a stylish bar and a restaurant, as well as an 18 hole championship golf course. Just a few miles away is the village of Warter, which is where David Hockney produced his 'Bigger Trees Near Warter' painting. Nearby are various cycle ways including the North Sea Cycle Route and walkers will love either the long distance walks along the Wolds Way or one of the many more circular walks in the area for all abilities.
