“We had a such a lovely stay at Kings Cottage.”

Everything was as expected and listed. The hot tub and garden are beautiful. We read that some people found having one bathroom to share a problem; we didn’t as 4 adult women. The cottage is well equipped for a weekend.

Everything was as expected and listed. The hot tub and garden are beautiful. We read that some people found having one bathroom to share a problem; we didn’t as 4 adult women. The cottage is well equipped for a weekend. The village itself is also lovely. The Bay Horse pub landlords and other locals were really friendly and when we went for our meal. Would not hesitate to recommend to others.

“Read on previous reviews about mattress, should be changed.”

Local residents anti visitors, re car parking Got blocked by dustbins one morning at bottom of drive, although I was parked correctly on the property

“Great cottage in a lovely spot.”

Local pub was great with a perfect welcome from the landlord and staff. Would definitely come back again although a lock on the bathroom door might be useful!!

Mrs Westhead July 2021

“The hot tub was better then the one shown in the pictures and was maintained throughout our stay.”

Lovely spacious cottage and lots to do in the area! My only recommendation would be for some sun loungers or chairs - the garden is a great suntrap and they would be a great addition if you fancy a lazy day.

Miss Jackson July 2021

“Absolutely LOVED our stay at Kings Cottage Amazing private garden & hot tub, beautiful cottage with everything we needed.”

The Local pub is chilled & friendly. The Housekeeping ladies were welcoming on our arrival day & made us feel right at home. Only negative is that we couldn’t stay longer. We will 100% be returning. Thank you Hayley & Mark, Rotherham

Miss Storr June 2021

“The cottage was difficult to get into because of the key safe which the code we had been given didnt work , we got in as someone helped us who was bringing the gas bottles , also the cottage next door were very noisy at night on more than one night with loud music and yelling and so on till past 1am so this interfered with our sleep .”

I understand people are on holiday but have consideration at night no need to be so noisy .Overall the cottage was lovely and very happy with our stay

“I have sent an email to you regarding the stay.”

I was very happy with the cottage. But it was ruined by some people in the cottage next to us. I did ask them to be quiet and then had to go out later to shout at them. I had two nights of no sleep and I mean no sleep. Wed eve they were noisy and they were told to stop swearing by another guest. They finally shut up about 1.30 am thurs morning. I think I maybe had an hour of sleep then they were back out about 4.30 in the hot tub running around and the girls were laughing loudly and squeeling. This went on and I decided to get up. Thurs daytime was a mixture of them shouting and squealing being stupid standing on the tables outside. This carried on until about 3.40 am fri morning. I was so tired , I packed the car sorted the cottage and was home for 6.30 with a banging headache. I have been working non stop the past 18 months for the NHS and was looking forward to the break only to be more shattered than I was before I went.

Mr Bradley October 2020

“Great little place to get away from the world with the ability to get on some lovely walks!”

Hot tub was superb to relax and then migrate into the lounge with some wine by the fire. The house was spotless and kitchen well equipped. Only negative was the beds, the master felt like it had a cliff running down the middle which made it a pretty uncomfortable night sleep and then we swapped to the other room and it was better, but certainly not perfect.

- Mr Bradley, October 2020
Mr Holt August 2020

“Not really moaning!”

But the pictures looked a lot bigger than the actual property, also no cupboard space for food. Also think it needs noting that there was no washing machine, thought they were a standard appliance in such a house. Also the bed was broken and made a bad creaking noise which is ok but we were sharing with a baby. Hayley was brill tho, got us a summer quilt. I love sykes though, just thought id mention it.

Mr Berriman February 2020

“The accommodation was lovely and met all our expectations and the welcome pack was a lovely touch, the only comments we would make would be that the log burner was more of a feature then an efficient means of heating and the shower temperature fluctuated from extremely hot to tepid.”

- Mr Berriman, February 2020
Mrs Walker February 2020

“We had an amazing weekend!”

The cottage was beautiful, comfortable, cosy and spotlessly clean!! The welcome pack was very thoughtful. The hot tub..... fantastic, we loved it, we spent both evenings in it, made our weekend! Will definitely book again.

- Mrs Walker, February 2020
Mr Palit October 2019

“It was a very surprised hidden gem of a place with all the facilities.”

We stayed for 2 days over the half term week .although it was raining for 2 days but it did not spoil our stay , hot tub a great entry and umbrellas came handy . The cottage was clean and tastefully designed . We would love to book again .

- Mr Palit, October 2019
Mrs Moate October 2019

“The cottage is comfi and well equip.”

Parking is a nightmare the other cottage brought 2 cars and left us no where to.park. the hot tub showed showed error and went up to.49 oc way to.hot to.dit in . Apart from.that it was a nice short break

- Mrs Moate, October 2019
Miss Ward September 2019

“Our cottage break away was everything we wanted and more!”

The cottage and location were absolutely beautiful, the images and description of the cottage on the Sykes website were very accurate but the cottage exceeded all our expectations. The securing the cottage for £20 is extremely affordable and really helped us with booking. We are looking to book up again using Sykes soon!

- Miss Ward, September 2019
Mrs Turner September 2019

“Easy to book and staff helpful”

Catterson July 2019

“This cottage is in a beautiful location and inside is tastefully decorated with a modern kitchen which is ideal for cooking, and the dishwasher came in very handy to save doing all those pots whilst on holiday!”

I would definitely stay here again. There are just a few small things to bring up; The parking - there is one allocated space for each cottage but unfortunately another cottage brought two cars so they took up ours, not sure how this can be enforced as there is already a sign? Hot tub - lovely but needs to be more private, with hooks for hanging towels/robes outside and somewhere needed to dry wet swimsuits. Spiders/webs - there was a lot of these in the cottage, I appreciate high ceilings make it difficult but there was also lots around window frames which can easily be dusted off. I opened a kitchen cupboard and there was one living in there too! These are just small suggestions as they haven't put me off coming back. Wouls definitely recommend visiting thorpe perrow nearby, was a lovely family day out.

- Catterson, July 2019
Mr Hughes June 2019

“Cottage was lovely and comfortable.”

It would have been helpful if there had been a washing machine or at least the use of a washing machine. Wouldn’t be a problem if you were on a short break, but when staying for a week! Also we had problems with the bath draining after taking a shower. On checking I discovered the plug hole was blocked with a large amount of hair and other gunge - not a great start to the holiday. It would also be helpful if there was an instruction manual for both the cooker/oven and microwave. If there was any at the cottage we couldn’t find it. The only real negative was the traffic noise. When booking and not knowing the area we weren’t aware that the cottage was located on the main road from the A1 into the Dales Villages. Despite my comments above we had a great time. The people and the villages were all so friendly and made you feel most welcome.

Mrs Breakwell June 2019

“Just returned from our first holiday with are baby (4 months old) and what a beautiful cottage it was.”

Well laid out and set up for everything we needed, with plenty of space for all the baby essentials we had to bring! The hot tub was great, managed to use it a couple of times after the little one went to bed, we would have used it more if it wasn't for the weather as I think we went in one of the wettest June weeks the UK has seen for a good while. Little touches made for a lovely week, the hot tub was on and ready when we arrived and we were welcomed with milk, bread, butter and bacon to see us through our first breakfast. There was a basket full of logs for the fire which came in very handy, I didn't imagine needing to light the fire in June but it was needed and made for extra cosy evenings sat with a cheeky glass of wine. To sum it up a great property in a good location.

- Mrs Breakwell, June 2019
Mr Ellison May 2019

“Beautiful holiday home, had everything we needed and it was a nice touch to leave bread, bacon etc for arrival.”

Very nice garden, it was a pleasure to relax in the hot tub after long walks in the Yorkshire Dales. Would highly recommend this holiday home for couples.

- Mr Ellison, May 2019
Mrs Spicer May 2019

“We loved the cottage, its location and its facilities were good.”

Unfortunately the router wasn't working for the duration of our stay but we kept in touch with Hayley who tried to sort it out for us. We also felt that the cottage was a little cool in the living areas as the doors were very draughty and although we lit the stove, this did not seem to warm the downstairs up much. The thermostat was set at 21 degrees which was border line for this time of year bearing in mind it was a cool weekend.

- Mrs Spicer, May 2019
Mr Clarke April 2019

“Our short stay at kings cottage crakehall was a really good experience.”

The cottage was lovely and clean when we arrived. The heating had already been put on so it was lovely and warm, the same with the hot tub. We asked if we could bring a stair gate for our 1 year old and the cottage supplied and fitted one for us before our arrival. The kitchen was stocked with everything necessary you would need to make any meal, there was also the added benefit of ice already in the freezer ready for a refreshing drink after a long journey. High chair and cots were provided for our youngest. Overall this was one the best little breaks we have had and would certainly like to return in the future.

- Mr Clarke, April 2019
Mr Hallam February 2019

“The cottage was perfect, lovely and clean, kitchen was well stocked and the bacon bread and eggs was a lovely touch.”

The hot tub was great easy to use and the space was quiet and private.Good location us 30mins max to some stunning walks(and pubs) there were walks closer but we chose to pop right into the dales. Would defiantly look to go back when in the area.

- Mr Hallam, February 2019
Mrs Fowler January 2019

“The cottage was absolutely beautiful!”

Well equipped & pretty much home from home. The hot tub was welcomed after a day of walking. The bacon & fresh bread on arrival was a lovely treat. We will be back!

- Mrs Fowler, January 2019
Mr Mackinder December 2018

“We booked Kings Cottage for our Christmas vacation and we couldn't have chosen more of a better cottage!”

The cottage was very cosy and looked amazing in every room, the Hot Tub was a great asset. We couldn't reccomend a better place to stay for a getaway! We will 100% be returning soon

Miss Toal November 2018

“The cottage is SO cosy and well furnished.”

It was perfect for a girls weekend away.

- Miss Toal, November 2018
Mrs Whitehouse October 2018

“The cottage was beautiful, clean and cosy.”

The bed was so comfy and all bedding was new. We loved the welcome pack with thick bacon, milk and even olive oil. Was just right to get us started. The cottage was clean and cosy and the log burner was fantastic as it was very cold whilst we were there. The kids loved the hottub. There is loads of things to do in Bedale and you don't have to travel far to see more attractions. The local pub is spot on. It is very friendly and serves lovely food. We will definitely be returning next year.

- Mrs Whitehouse, October 2018
Mrs Thompson October 2018

“This is a beautifully renovated cottage.”

It is very comfortable with all the amenities you could ask for. The wifi is quick and no hassle, the beds are comfortable and rooms beautifully decorated. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and the hot tub is very welcome at the end of a days walking. My only slight worry is that you need an internal mat at the front door as the carpet will get dirty very quickly.

- Mrs Thompson, October 2018
Mr Etherington September 2018

“Described as peaceful, and serene.”

No mention of single glazing and lorries thundering past all night long.

- Mr Etherington, September 2018
Mrs Royston August 2018

“Great little cottage with the added bonus of a hot tub in the garden.”

Very clean and fresh and well equipped. Nice quiet location in small village with one public house. Near to larger Bedale for eating out.

Mr Wilson July 2018

“Had such a lovely time with the family.”

Fantastic cottage in a lovely area.

- Mr Wilson, July 2018
Mr Gibbons June 2018

“This recently renovated cottage is very clean and extremely comfortable, with excellent facilities.”

It is situated in a lovely village; ideally suited for visiting the eastern side of the Dales. Owner is very friendly & helpful. However, the "private" hot tub is located directly adjacent to a footpath, running through the garden, that was regularly used as a through route by both maintenance & cleaning staff for this small group of holiday properties, during daytime hours. Whilst an "off road" parking space is said to be allocated to this property, it was not always available. Some signage may help overcome this and it is understood that the owner is intending to take such action.

- Mr Gibbons, June 2018
Ms Kay June 2018

“Throughly enjoyed our time at kings cottage.”

The cottage is stunning and the photos really dont do it justice. Every tiny detail is covered here and to a high standard. Only downside for us was we wished we were there longer than 3 nights. Would definately recommend this cottage. Beautiful cottage. lovely village location and ideally situated for visiting the many surrounding places.

- Ms Kay, June 2018
Mrs Beck May 2018

“Fabulous cottage, lovely setting and good location for exploring Will be back in the future x”

- Mrs Beck, May 2018
Miss Stark May 2018

“The cottage was immaculate from top to bottom, extremely clean, well equipped and beautifully decorated.”

We had a wonderful stay. The only downside was that there was no cot/highchair/stair gate available for our little one. However, the owner was extremely helpful on the Friday night we arrived by going to the shop and supplying us with a cot at really short notice. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice relaxing break in a pretty little village in Yorkshire.
