• "Very clean and comfortable."

  Well furnished, equipped and light. Gratefully received welcome pack of cake and wine. Use of local parking permit thoughtful. Non intrusive owners. Quiet, relaxing location. Occasional faraway toots from heritage line which added to charm as well as cricket on village green. Ideal position for seeing sights. One if the best cottages we've stayed in. Highly recommend.

  Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I’m so pleased you found our cottage and our little corner of North Yorkshire relaxing and charming. Many thanks. Property Owner

  Cheery and friendly welcome from Maggie and the cake and wine were much appreciated. Great location to explore places in North Yorkshire. The Bay Horse (walkable from the cottage) in Crakehall is well worth a visit.

• "5 stars again."

  Summer Farm Cottage is spotlessly clean, well maintained, and thoughtfully furnished, with great attention to detail. It has everything you could need for the best stay. Surrounded by fields, yet conveniently only five minutes drive from all Bedale has to offer. The owners are nearby if needed, but never imposing. We've stayed before, look forward to returning again, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the cottage to anyone else.

• "A beautiful cottage, it had everything we needed (apart from a cafetiere but we brought our own after reading one of the reviews)."

  We had no problems with the wifi. Our only complaint was having to strip the large main bed before leaving, we are in our late seventies and early eighties and this was not easy for us.

  Many thanks for your lovely review, we're very pleased you enjoyed your stay. We introduced the stripping of the beds during Covid times as a measure to reduce risk to our cleaning team when handling the laundry. We are sorry this caused you any inconvenience and would have been happy to do this for you. We hope you will visit us again in the future. Property Owner

• "Not recommended for anyone who needs internet access."

  I was very disappointed the property was advertised with Broadband/Wi-Fi at best it was 2mb down and 0.1mb up and the 4g mobile signal was very patchy and intermittent. Unable to stream the sport from my accounts, emails were a struggle and even the simplest of google searches seemed to take forever. This spoilt the holiday, aside from missing my sport, I was unable to check up on emails and upload stuff back to the office, I had to waste hours during the day away from the cottage doing this via hotspots, when I should have been out and about enjoying the countryside. Part of the blame should fall with Sykes Cottages as they probably have a tick box for cottage owners, Does your property have Wi-Fi/Broadband? Yes/No. This should be amended to advertise the connection speed as i certainly would not have booked this cottage had I have known how primitive the internet connection was. That aside the cottage was clean and comfortable, quiet location but only 5 minutes from Bedale and close to the A1. Other niggles there was no egg lifter in the kitchen so difficult to turn food in the frying pan and impossible to remove a fried eggs. It may be because it was early in the season and they had not been opened since the autumn but upon opening the Velux windows in the bedrooms and washroom the rooms would fill with flies that were living around the seals in the windows, not pleasant, picking up dead and dopey flies and trying to shoo the flying ones out of the window.

• "Another fab stay at Summer Farm Cottage."

  5* all the way. Worth going just for Maggie's home made fruit cake. Had everything we needed. A real home from home. In a beautiful quiet location, yet just 5 minutes drive in to Bedale, where there is just about everything you could need. Owners were around if needed (we didn't need to contact them) but not intrusive. Will certainly be back.

• "This is the third time we have stayed at Maggie's cottage and it did not disappoint."

  The cottage is well located and easy to find, spotlessly clean, the kitchen is well equipped and the beds extremely comfy. The only tiny issue we had was that a new boiler had been installed since our last visit and the hot water was a little TOO hot for our liking - especially in the shower! Otherwise we would have scored this property 5 stars, 10 out of 10. Will definitely return.

  Hi Amanda, Many thanks for staying with us again and also for the lovely feedback. Since your stay we have investigated further and as a result the shower has been 'tended to' by our plumber and adjusted to allow it to be adjusted to a cooler temperature if desired. We look forward to receiving you again in the future. Many thanks again. Property Owner

  A spacious cottage, well equipped, very clean, comfortable bed and sofas which so many holiday lets are sadly lacking, no light or noise pollution to keep you awake at night yet only a few minutes drive from several small towns and villages for shopping. We only got back yesterday and I've already booked to go back.

  Many thanks for staying with us at Summer Farm Cottage, we are delighted that you had a wonderful and comfortable stay and we very much look forward to you returning in the future. Many thanks again. Property Owner

• "The holiday cottage, owner and location were excellent."

  My only negative comment to make is about the day I rang your (Sykes) office to check availability and price and to potentially book the property. It was available for my dates and I was expecting the price to be confirmed as described on the web site = £293. However I was told it was now £299 ! I queried this and was told it was because I was booking it on the phone. So now booking it on the phone costs £6.00 extra - that's a neat trick you don't mention when advising which buttons to press on the phone or as far as I can see on your website or terms and conditions either. I have booked on the phone with your company in the past without this extra cost being added - it used to be a simple thing to do without challenging the extras. You already take a booking fee and thats when I book online myself. I suggested to the agent that I might as well stop the call and go and book it online - for the advertised price. At that point she said she might be able to waive the £6.00 charge - so I agreed to continue with the £293 price. This activity sounds a bit underhand to me - I don't know (yet) of any other holiday company that charges extra for ringing up.... and hopefully in future you wont either.

  This cottage is very clean and very comfortable. A very small negative for us stopping for two weeks, no washing machine in the kitchen, so had to hand wash items when getting muddy on walks in the area. The garden was lovely in the evenings to be able to sit outside and watch the sun set. Lovely fresh flowers on arrival and the owner available if you have any issues but not intrusive. Home made cake and wine on arrival as well made us feel really welcome. Will definitely be returning to this cottage.

  It is in a great location, very handy to lots of interesting places. Our only niggling complaint was the lack of some basic cleaning materials such as washing up liquid and such like.
