"Some items eg lamp in bedroom not working, Hannah had repaired, shaver light over bathroom mirror not working- Hannah (contact person fir problems)has said she will arrange to have this repaired."
Overall cleanliness not up to Sykes usual standard- dust on draw handles, top of fridge, and surfaces. Sticky rings on coasters, dried food splashes on dining table, drips on front of cupboards and fridge. Toilet dirty. Lights in bathroom full of dead insects which affects level of lights-Hannah says she will have fixed. Double bed is a bit hard.
Thank you for your feedback, we will contact out cleaners and get all issues rectified for all future guests. The shaver light is in the process of being repaired on the next changeover day. Property Owner

"The property was lovely, clean, comfortable and quiet."
As oldies we would have liked a hand rail next to the steps to the front door as it was quite difficult to negotiate as we were afraid of slipping. There was a leak from the washbasin but this was dealt with the same day. A full length mirror would have been useful. We really thought having to strip the beds of covers early on our last day was 'over the top'. After a nice relaxing week it was a bit much when you're in your 80s to be doing this which we felt should have been done by your cleaners. We understand about covid but there are masks and gloves and it's not expected of us in a b&b or hotel.

"We are elderly and found the steps difficult a hand rail would help."
The lack of outside space for the dog caused problems too. Perhaps that could be included in the description.

"These are not complaints!"
1. Light above basin in bathroom does not work.
2.TV control instructions do not work as they are printed. It is possible to use the detailed manual to decipher what to do especially when moving from DVD to TV.
3. Surprising that the recycling is not carried out by the owner.
4. The armchair in the lounge is just not comfortable! It is virtually impossible to hold or put a cup of tea (or a glass!) on a side table and still reach it from the enormous depths of the chair!
5. The front door locking mechanism needs attention. The key jams in the lock very easily.
However, there were many good points about the whole experience and our holiday was wonderful, visiting old haunts from over many years. Very useful OS and other maps as well as the really good walk leaflets. Excellent kitchen equipment made cooking evening meals very straightforward at the end of a long day.
Thank you for your feedback and bringing these issues to my attention. Maintenance have attended the property and replaced the bathroom light and front door lock. The new furniture has already been ordered and meant to be in place, but has unfortunately been delayed due to the sofa company. I apologise that you had some issues with the recycling and television function. Instructions are provided for both in the guestbook, along with the number for the housekeeper for any such queries.
I'm very glad to see you thoroughly enjoyed your stay!

"Attention to detail needed."
Rubbish in bedroom bins from last guests. Had to move chert if draws because I dropped a lid behind it and socks and rubbish underneath. Hadn’t been moved for months
No wifi instructions then found router under window cushion on last morning.
Double bed not very comfortable - deeper mattress or new one needed
Lack of lamps or good lights for make- up etc
Back room needs better lighting and ventilation

"Kings Studio is perfectly situated in Reeth."
Ideal space. As someone who has mobility issues the cottage was great for me once inside. It was very clean when we arrived. The shower broke, which couldn’t be helped, but the owner and caretaker couldn’t do enough to get it fixed, it was done the same day. I highly recommend this cottage. A perfect stay.

"Kings Studio is in the ideal position for anything on or around the green which has 2 public houses,the Copper Kettle,various other places all providing good food,plus a post office which supplies everythlng from A to Z,
plus other general shops & a market on Fridays."
There are some lovely local walks from Reeth through the fields down to the River Swale etc. and if
you enjoy exciting interesting driving there are so many places to visit all around the area well worth a visit. I admit we were very lucky as we had very good weather.

"The cottage was absolutely perfect."
It was very well equipped with everything that was required for our weeks stay. It was easy to book, and I thought the price was about right. My only criticisms would be that it was missing a full size mirror, which I found a little frustrating, and the mattresses on both the double and single beds were sadly lacking in comfort. Other than that, I would have said the cottage had exceeded our expectations. The location was great, quiet but central to all amenities. Reeth is one of our all time favourite places and never fails to live up to expectations. Just so beautiful. Overall, another great stay in beautiful Reeth.

"I've stayed at King's studio on a few occasions over the past couple of years."
I enjoy visiting Reeth and the surrounding area and the cottage is a comfortable base for my visit.
It has everything that I need and is always exceptionally clean. It has all of the facilities that I need and it is good to know that whatever time I arrive there will always be the makings of a warming cup of tea and a delicious biscuit as part of the welcome package.
I look forward to going back regularly and have already booked my next visit for the end of the year.

The cottage was lovely, it was clean and had everything we needed, the only criticism (and it's only our opinion) the bed was quite hard for us and after the amount of walking we did each day it would have been nice to have a comfy bed

"To say it met expectations undersells the Kings Studio, it was lovely and I would thoroughly recommend it."
It was spotlessly clean, toasty warm and had every we needed, including a comfy bed and a good hot shower.
There are two lovely old pubs only a very short walk away, both of which serve excellent food, though the decor of one has sadly become Toby Carvery style. You can feel the building's embarrassment.
I would caution against following your satnav all the way up the little road which takes you to the front door of the Kings Studio if you have a large/long vehicle. You can get back out, but it's not that easy. Better to just park in front of the pubs and shops.

"The cottage was, as I have found in previous visits, very clean and well maintained."
I had expected that there might be no cushions etc on the couches, but was pleasantly surprised to find them just as comfortable as always. So even on the dreary, dull days I always felt warm and comfortable.
I found that everything that I needed was available. The only thing that I really missed from home was that in the evening I like to listen to the radio and, for some reason, I was unable to tune into the radio channels on the television. This may have been due to the atmospheric conditions. Fortunately, I was able to use my laptop to listen in.
I really enjoyed my stay in King's Studio and look forward to my next trip in April next year - weather and C**** 19 permitting!

"Kings Studio is a wonderful cottage full of character and we loved staying there."
The splendid cottage is decorated and furnished to an extremely high standard and equipped with everything that you could possibly need whilst staying there. There is ample car parking in the vicinity and there is space for a small car at the front of the property. It's located in Reeth, a very peaceful and beautiful village in an area which was perfect for a quiet family retreat in the Yorkshire Dales. The friendly village has several public houses and an ice cream parlour; there is a handy grocer's shop selling local produce and nearby Richmond has a large Lidls and the usual high street stores which is a 20 minute drive away. Reeth itself is ideal for rambling and cycling with stunning views of the surrounding hills and forests. We highly recommend this lovely cottage and we will definitely be returning in the future.

There are a mere 3 steps up to the front door, once inside everything is on one level. All utilities were provided, including washing machine and dishwasher, together with accessories.
The bedrooms were a good size, as was the living / dining / kitchen area. There are three pubs on the doorstep, plus cafes and general store. It is a terrific base from which to explore the Yorkshire Dales. I have no hesitation in recommending this cottage to all and sundry, you won't be disappointed!

"ALL GREAT. Except NO icebox in fridge!"
Would prefer ice box in fridge or mini freezer instead of luxury item like a dishwasher that was there. (Especially as it's only a 3 person accommodation)
Without freezer or ice box hard to shop for more than a day. Nor could I free ice packs if taking packed lunch with me.
Reeth is also very rural location so freezer especially useful as limited shopping in Reeth.
As a minimum would definitely need ice box in fridge.
Thank you.
