“We booked this cottage during the winter lockdown and so the price was considerably lower than marketed for next summer.”

Given this the cottage was lovely and great value. If we had paid the market price we would have been disappointed - no hot water for the first few days, some little bits not working properly - all fixed by owner, but a little annoying.

“Had a lovely stay @ Loft cottage, the cottage has everything you need.”

The bedrooms are bijou especially the single but extremely comfortable. Downside is parking is not directly on site & a fair way from the property so this can be awkward when you’ve done a food shop ect which means a few trips back & fourth to the car, not ideal. There is a bench with seating in the rear courtyard near the hot tub but the property also has a beautiful enclosed front garden so it would have been nice to have a table & chairs in this area also so you can make the most of the sun in both areas. Overall a lovely stay, In a great beautiful location.

“Beautiful cottage but it was disappointing that you have to share the garden.”

The beds were very comfortable but unfortunately the sofa had a bad dog smell which did not allow us to relax in the living room. There were lots of dog hair around the house as well even inside the oven. The dishwasher had left over food inside. I understand that it’s pet friendly but should be kept clean for the next costumers. Overall the cleanliness of the cottage did not allow us to enjoy our stay as we thought we will even though the cottage was nice.

“Lovely cottage with very helpful owners.”

Mrs Drysdale June 2021

“Loft Cottage was perfectly situated in a lovely village, easy to access surrounding villages and attractions to walk our dog, being opposite the beck was a bonus as the dog loved paddling in the stream.”

The cottage was clean and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable, I expected some traffic noise due to reading previous reviews but can honestly say the noise was not as bad as some have mentioned. The only difficulty we had was unpacking the car and packing to go home as there is no parking outside the cottage it required several trips back and forwards in summer sun to complete, but again this was not a surprise as the listing mentions no car parking for this cottage.

Mrs Stockil June 2021

“What a beautiful cottage, we thoroughly enjoyed the stay, 5 adults and still didn't feel over crowded.”

- Mrs Stockil, June 2021
Mrs Kirby June 2021

“Lovely cottage in a very friendly village.”

We were 5 ladies and all enjoyed the stay, sharing the bathroom was a juggle but despite being a small cottage there was enough space to accommodate us all. Hot tub was ideal for lazing and though the neighbours were attached we heard nothing and only saw them a couple of times. The road is noisy but only heard if your sat in the back garden and the hot tub is at the front so this tended to be where we sat. 4 lovely days away. Thanks for making it so easy. The welcome pack was a lovely touch.

- Mrs Kirby, June 2021
Mrs Ramskill May 2021

“Lovely cottage,very homely and cosy.”

Would be better if it had a gate bit on the hot tub area,so it’s a bit more closed in.Would definitely recommend and come back in the future.

- Mrs Ramskill, May 2021
Mr Evans May 2021

“Cleanliness of the cottage exceptional!”

Quality of the rooms, carpets, and furniture exceptiona, too. We loved the Wellcome Basket, beautifully presented. The milk, bacon, lovely crusty bread was much enjoyed. The biscuits were too yummy for words. Definitely want to buy some ourselves. The garden nice for dog, and a lovely hot tub included. We weren't warned about possible traffic noise, but as it wasn't holidays, garden wasn't too noisy, and double glazing took care of any noise indoors. Only problem was having boiler in main bedroom not kitchen, noisy for sleepers if hot water used at night for hand washing. Loved everything else, though!

- Mr Evans, May 2021
Mrs Bennett May 2021

“Beautiful accommodation, cosy and clean.”

Lovely touches such as a welcome hamper and the hot tub was set ready to just jump in. The TV package including Amazon prime, iPlayer and Netflix was the best I've had in holiday accommodation. I would definitely stay here again.

- Mrs Bennett, May 2021
Mrs Hull May 2021

“We really enjoyed this holiday the cottage and facilities were perfect and clean, so lovely, peaceful and welcoming didn’t want to go home.”

We have two girls age 9 & 14 they loved having their own rooms enjoyed the hot tub and loved playing at the parks in the village. Would definitely recommend

Mr Bertheuil April 2021

“Lovely cottage situated in a very nice little village.”

Clean all round and well maintained overall Very functional and well equipped, appliances all working well (dishwasher, micro-wave, oven, hob...) and Wi-Fi signal pretty good too. 2 double bedrooms and a single, perfect for a family of 4. Hot tub in the garden is very enjoyable after long walks Pressure in the shower is however very low which is quite annoying and mattress in on of the double bedroom would need to be changed as very uncomfortable

- Mr Bertheuil, April 2021
Mrs Chamberlain October 2020

“Great location in the centre of the village with a very friendly pub a short walk away.”

Had a really good Indian meal at The Taste of India in Bedale. I would recommend The Shawl walk from Leyburn and the circular walk from the river in Masham as well as visiting the Black Sheep brewery there. The accommodation was excellent but would have loved a couple of hooks in the second double bedroom for clothes due to lack of wardrobes but everything else was perfect, especially the hot tub.

- Mrs Chamberlain, October 2020
Mrs Smith September 2020

“Lovely cottage in a nice quiet spot.”

Comfortable and the hot tub was fab. Good information about local services. Would recommend and definitely recommend

- Mrs Smith, September 2020
Miss Sowter September 2020

“The house was very accommodating for children.”

It was clean, cosy and comfortable. The hot tub was cleaned & tested regularly. We had a lovely stay, thank you.

- Miss Sowter, September 2020
Mr Benson September 2020

“Great place clean tidy, kitchen well equipped although spoilt by electric hob, induction or gas would top it of.”

Also the bay horse pub !!! Keep walking ...... we didn’t eat but stopped for a drink and upon request of 2 drinks they didn’t have he was just rude but other than that Bedale is good and cottage is great.

- Mr Benson, September 2020
Mrs Fortune September 2020

“Lovely cottage.”

Great hot tub. There were no wardrobes and no mirror in two of the bedrooms. Would also suggest small bins in the bedrooms

- Mrs Fortune, September 2020
Mrs Syddell August 2020

“Excellent cottage, great location for exploring both the Dales and the Moors.”

Very clean and well stocked, really appreciated the welcome pack of milk, bread, butter and bacon. The only thing missing for us was hanging space for clothes.....even just 4/5 hangers somewhere would have helped, maybe just a small clothes rail in one of the bedrooms? Apart from that we couldn’t fault it and had a great time.

- Mrs Syddell, August 2020
Mrs Mcvicar August 2020

“The staff at the cottage were very friendly and helpful.”

The cottage itself was thoroughly cleaned and very comfortable for 4 adults. We had camping chairs with us and these were useful for sitting out at the back of the cottage in the evening sun. The hot tub was lovely and felt private. The facilities were good. We would recommend this property.

- Mrs Mcvicar, August 2020
Mrs Barber August 2020

“The cottage was lovely but a lot more cosy than it looks.”

1 Garden has shared access to another cottage aswell as access to another cottage garden, so had to be careful gates weren't left open otherwise my dog would escape. Lovely little touch leaving picnic basket with bread and biscuits and also bacon in the fridge. Rooms were lovely and clean. Had everything we needed apart from a tin opener. Overall great little cottage for small family. Park just around the corner and a park and pub along the road selling great food at other side. Also looked that they organised a little book with menus for local takeaways etc. Very helpful but needs updating as menus/prices have changed. Thank you

- Mrs Barber, August 2020
Mrs Irvine July 2020

“Beautiful cottage.”

Was impressed with quality of furnishings, bedding & cleanliness of property. Lovely village, would definitely recommend!

- Mrs Irvine, July 2020
Mr Zammit February 2020

“Loft Cottage is lovely and ideally placed to explore the dales, North Yorkshire national park.”

It is very clean and welcoming and Crakehall is a picturesque village with a very welcoming pub (The Bay Horse) where they serve good beer and great food.

- Mr Zammit, February 2020
Mr Slater December 2019

“Thought that the cottage did provide most things needed in a home from home and had high quality furnishings.”

The only slight drawbacks I would say is that the Wi-Fi needs a booster as its hit and miss. Also the vacuum cleaner is not fit for purpose especially when there for a week. Even though the complimentary bacon, bread, milk was a nice touch. Maybe an extras choice when booking to purchase various hampers local cheeses, beers, wine etc. Overall lovely little cottage in great surroundings and would recommend to others looking for a quiet getaway.

- Mr Slater, December 2019
Mrs Mcbryde October 2019

“The only thing that let it down was the parking problem but we knew that there was no parking when booked”

- Mrs Mcbryde, October 2019
Mr Zammit September 2019

Hugo and I had another wonderful week in Loft Cottage. Can't wait until next time.

Miss Mankin September 2019

“We had a lovely stay in this cottage!”

It's beautifully decorated and the beds are very comfy! Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. It's a great location for doing some walking and the hot tub is great for relaxing afterwards. Could not recommend staying here more.

- Miss Mankin, September 2019
Mrs Lonsdale September 2019

“A lovely time was had by all.”

The village is beautiful and has good amenities including a friendly pub that serves good food. A lovely base for a getaway.

- Dr Chapman, May 2019
Mr Eastham May 2019

Miss Kinkead-weekes February 2019

“I booked Loft Cottage to provide accommodation for some actors for a short student film project.”

Sykes Cottages were really helpful in answering any questions or queries I had, especially when I called to get a few extra copies of the keys so that our actors could come and go as they please. The cottage itself was beautiful and well-presented, and extremely good value.

- Miss Kinkead-weekes, February 2019
Dr Venn October 2018

“Beautiful cottage in a lovely village.”

We loved the hamper on arrival. The cottage was cosy, warm and had almost everything (had to borrow a can opener, and bought a cheese grater!) Otherwise a lovely place and will go again

- Dr Venn, October 2018
Mr Broadbent August 2018

“Lovely cottage and welcome pack.”

The cottage was ideal for 4 adults and 1 child, 5 adults may have been a squeeze for some. Ideal base for exploring North Yorkshire. The lack of wardrobe space may not be ideal for some guests but it really didn't bother any of our party. Would reccomend this property and the others attached. Very helpful people throughout.

- Mr Broadbent, August 2018
Mrs Taylor July 2018

“A very nice cottage in a lovely village, an ideal place to stay as a base to visit many place such as the dales the coast & York for example.”

Local pub very friendly & good food served.

- Mrs Taylor, July 2018
Foster May 2018

“This is a beautiful cottage we’re we stayed for a week, it sits in a lovely friendly village with a good pub, cricket on the village green and a little park for children a good field for the dog.”

We arrived to find a beautiful hamper with loads of nice items the best I’ve ever seen. The cottage has outside space at the front and a little garden space at the back, we had lovely weather and was able to sit outside. Plenty of lovely villages and town to visit around the area and some good walks. I would’ve hesitate to book again and would certain recommend.

St Edmunds Cottages

Nestled in the peaceful village of Crakehall in the lower Yorkshire Dales, these cottages offer a serene destination for a relaxing break. From the outside, these pretty properties are aesthetically pleasing with stone frontages, window frames painted a tasteful mint green, and well-kept gardens with views over Bedale Beck. Inside, the cottages are a well-balanced mix of contemporary design and period features, with modern kitchens and bathrooms intermingling with exposed beams and original windows. The décor is neutral throughout with elegant splashes of colour complementing certain rooms. Despite the rural location, the properties are well connected with each offering WiFi and top-of-the-range Smart TVs. The village of Crakehall is regarded by many as one of the prettiest in the Yorkshire Dales, featuring a 5-acre green surrounded by Sycamore and lime trees, populated by stone-built cottages, some of which dating back as far as the 1600’s. It is split into two by a tributary of the River Swale, Bedale Beck, forming Little Crakehall and Great Crakehall. The complex of holiday cottages and their gardens overlook both the bridge and the beck, as well as the A684 road, which provides part of the Tour de Yorkshire route. The village is close to the market town of Bedale with its selection of shops and pubs, as well as museum and weekly market. If walking is more your thing there are plenty of picturesque walking routes in the vicinity, especially in the beautiful valleys of the Yorkshire Dales.
