The Sun House

This is the third time we have stayed at Sun House and it is always the same excellent standard.

Mark and Fiona are very friendly and helpful hosts and the cottage is ideally placed for exploring all the best that Yorkshire has to offer. Highly recommended.

Lovely property, friendly, helpful hosts.

The house had everything you’d need. Garden and courtyard were great. Sat nav doesn’t take to the exact location so advise you give hosts a ring prior to arrival and they can direct you in.

The Sun House is an absolute delight!

Beautifully restored by the owners Mark and Fiona it has everything you need all on one floor. The furnishings are entirely sympathetic to the building. Even better is the fact that it is set in the extensive garden of their house which has abundant fruit trees as well as delightful flowers. We found plenty to occupy us during our week's stay and there is an excellent selection of tourist leaflets in the cottage. Overall one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in. Thank you to Mark and Fiona for making us feel so welcome.

Great location, very clean, friendly hosts, highly recommended.

Situated in a very good area for places to visit.

Accommodation comfortable and owners friendly.

Excellent accomodation for two in a delightful location.

Small village in a great position to get to many of the attractions in the area or walking from the front door. A choice of 3 pubs close by, catering for all tastes and pockets.

The Sun House is well presented and the Host Mark and Fiona are so very friendly and helpful I would highly recommend this place for a relaxing holiday

We have rented many holiday cottages over the years, so are not easily impressed.

But that is what we were with The Sun House. Not only does it have the old world charm yet modern amenities we desire, it is placed in the middle of two amazing garden spaces. Every window of the cottage provided a lovely view. The hosts were helpful with showing us the cottage and giving us some tips about things to see in the area. We had a great stay and hope to be back.

A lovely clean, well equipped, peaceful cottage.

Ideal location for exploring Knaresborough & the surrounding area. No hesitation in recommending.

We had a lovely holiday at the Sun house.

The property is cozy with its tasteful decor and fire. But bright and open with its beautiful sky light and door to courtyard. There was everything you would need at hand and a great kitchen for making at home dinners. We especially enjoyed the DVD player in the evenings by the fire. Mark and Fiona were super friendly and helpful . The area was very pretty with plenty of places near by to visit. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely Cottage, beautiful interior and two lovely gardens.

Very comfortable altogether and the owner very friendly and helpful.

Had a wonderful break.

Good location with lots to see and do. Pretty cottage very relaxing after a day out was nice to come back to the cosy cottage. Thank you

Had a great week at The Sunhouse.

It is a lovely cosy cottage with so much character. The gardens are really nice to relax in, and it is ideally placed for exploring the Dales, towns and villages of Yorkshire. The hosts made us very welcome, and were most kind and helpful.

Absolutely perfect accommodation.

So peaceful and quiet. Spotlessly clean. Everything you need. Perfect for visiting lots of surrounding areas. Hosts are very friendly and welcoming. Best accommodation we have been in.

This is a beautiful setting with a lovely cottage offering all you want.

Host and hostess so helpful would not hesitate to recbook

Excellent, very well set up, beautiful location, friendly, supportive hosts.

We had a wonderful week at The Sun House.

Clean comfy and in a great location. A great cottage and gardens to come back to after busy days travelling around the Moors and Dales. Highly recommend this cottage. Fiona and Mark were welcoming and on hand if we needed anything. Thankyou so much.

A lovely stay at the sunhouse.

A beautiful quircky little cottage. Very well equipped and welcoming. Well situated for visitors to explore the area. Would certainly return if heading to that area again. Only thing is the driveway is rather dangerous to get out of. Perhaps adding a mirror opposite the entrance to aid in safely getting out of drive. Other than that perfect xx

Lovely cottage located in a perfect place for visiting York,Ripon,Thirsk, Harrogate.

Mark and Fiona were lovely and always found time to talk to you. Cottage was great with beautiful gardens and orchards. All the facilities you needed. Many thanks for a wonderful stay. Cath and Nigel.

What a wonderful little cottage, perfect base for nearby towns, the owners could not be more helpful and friendly, highly recommend, visit with confidence

A lovely presented cottage, one of the best we have been in, we had a lovely peaceful week, despite mixed weather, the cottage is a credit to mark and fiona, we were greeted with a welcome, and nothing was to much trouble, cant reccomend this cotttage enough.

Really enjoyed our short break in this cute cottage, loved the garden sitting out areas, Owner friendly and helpful when required.

Ideal location for visiting this area.

First class holiday cottage.

Would recommend it. The owners where very welcoming and helpful. A big thank you.

Another great stay.

We very much enjoyed our time at The Sun House for the second time.

Excellent, couldn`t fault anything.

Hosts Mark and Fiona so very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.

Enjoyed our stay in the cottage.

Good location to explore Yorkshire. Mark & Fiona made us very welcome. Will return in the new year.

A wonderful relaxing place to stay in a rural setting near towns and villages.

Lots to do locally, and in the area .Cottage is warm ,comfortable and cosy. No washing machine, but all other facilities. Lovely helpful owners who made our stay welcome. Our second visit as we love the area. Will return.

Can’t begin to explain how spotless this cottage was.

It was beautiful and very well maintained. Mark and Fiona were a lovely, pleasant couple. Many thanks for the milk . It was appreciated and it makes all the difference. The cottage is very convenient to lots of different places, only a few minutes drive away. We didn’t walk much due to the weather. Would definitely recommend and hopefully visit again next year

A well appointed property with a beautiful garden and wonderful courtyard seating area.

Friendly owners on site. Watch out for ducks that visit the garden from the nearby pond. Easy access to and from the A1M. Supermarket and garage a short drive away. Lots of reasonably priced parking in Knaresborough for access to local bus and train services to Harrogate and York and beyond. Had a lovely week and would like to go back in the future.

It is the first time ever we have been greeted by the owners.

They showed us how to work appliances and made us very welcome. Sun house was spotless credit to the owners. We did struggle one night with the fire and Mark was out within minutes to sort out. The location was great as it wasn’t far from activities we wanted to do. We had a lovely time and a big thank you to Mark and Fiona.

Lovely property, lovely hosts.

I thought there was a pint of fresh milk in the fridge which we didn't examine for three dsts because we bought milk with us. When we did examine that bottle it was an open, slightly used and it had turned to yoghurt so nobody had checked the fridge when the last visitors left. Same lack of cleaning oven grill plate. Small things.

A clean, comfortable and peaceful cottage with two lovely enclosed gardens.

A good location with plenty of places to visit. Friendly owners on site. The only downside was that we chose it because there was a pub within easy walking distance but the pub is closed which was a shame.

The cottage was the best I have found via Sykes.

Beautifully presented gorgeous garden, very convenient and yet peaceful. If you want to explore that area am sure there is no better spot

A beautiful cottage tucked away with two sun-kissed courtyards.

The interior is so tastefully decorated with everything you can wish for. A wonderful relaxed time with plenty of stunning places to visit including Fountains Abbey and RHS Harlow Carr. Thankyou Mark and Fiona.

Lovely cosy cottage very clean with pretty gardens.

In a good position for visiting all the attractions.

Lovely cottage in peaceful location.

Very comfortable, beautiful gardens. Owners very friendly.

Lovely cottage with great courtyard gardens.

Peaceful location.Ideal for visiting Knaresborough, Harrogate, Thirsk and York areas. Lovely owners who are on hand if necessary.

We enjoyed our stay at The Sun House, a beautiful cottage with absolutely everything needed, the owners even left a pint of milk in the fridge for a much needed cup of tea after our long journey to get there.

The property was very clean, well equipped and the location was great for exploring, we visited Harrogate, York, Ripon, Whitby and our favourite place was Aysgarth Falls. The town of Knaresborough is minutes away with a lovely river walk and some shops, restaurants, takeaways etc. The owners took the time to show us around the property and suggested some days out. The gardens are as beautiful as the cottage, a lovely holiday cottage and one would recommend 100%.

Peace and tranquillity in Ferrensby,a rural delight.

A charming cosy cottage well placed for a multitude of sightseeing excursions. A lovely central gas stove for cosy evenings on cooler days. Easy access shower in fully tiled bathroom. A sunny cottage garden in the morning and a courtyard which catches the evening sun.both with table and chairs. Mark and Fiona made us very welcome ,and it’s obvious how hard they try to make your stay comfortable. We would certainly recommend anyone wishing to spend time exploring this part of Yorkshire to spend a week at the Sun House. The only constructive criticism we have ,would be to be able to open both access doors ,especially if you have limited mobility. It will not however deter us from visiting this excellent cottage in future.

Cottage was clean and well presented with attractive gardens, but due to cold weather we could only manage a few minutes sitting outside.

It should be noted that the local pub 2 minutes away has shut. Easy driving to Fountains Abbey, Harlow Carr RHS and Salts Mill (for David Hockney exhibitions), Brimham Rocks.

Beautiful little cottage.

Cosy and warm, ideal for our short break away. The owners are lovely, helpful when collecting the key, showing us around and how everything worked. Which is always good. Really enjoyed our stay, and will love to go back in the future.

A lovely clean and comfortable place to stay.

It was a great base for us to explore the surrounding area. We especially enjoyed visiting Fountains Abbey. We hope one day to return. Teresa and Andrew

A lovely cottage for 2.

Great location in a small village but only a short journey to the dales, or to the beautiful market towns of North Yorkshire.

Met by Mark the owner.

We entered the cottage by what looked like narrow double doors. Unfortunately one of the doors was sealed shut giving an entrance of about 18ins. Our first impression was how cold the cottage was. Mark said the previous tenants must have turned the heating off in the kitchen and sitting area. He went in a cupboard and touched the control and said that he wasn't sure if he had put it on or not. We were a bit surprised that he didn't know how it worked as he has been renting the cottage out for about 13 years. He said if it didn't come on to give him a ring. He then told us how to use the cooking range. "Don't use the lefthand oven!" There are 2 small rings and a very large ring which is pretty useless. Also a hotplate that was covered in grease. He then showed us the sitting area where he had lit the gas stove which he said was set on medium. "If you put it on high it will incinerate". We then went to the passage way between the sitting area and the bedroom. No underfloor heating there either. He showed us 2 control panels on the wall. The righthand one was for the bedroom. "Don't touch the lefthand one". That obviously controlled the bathroom which was freezing cold. He said if you put the bathroom light on the heated towel rail would come on. We discovered that it was turned down to the minimum setting so didn't even get warm. The bedroom heating was working! Needless to say we turned the stove up but it took ages to warm the place up.we got up early to light the stove and went back to bed for half an hour. We are not cold people and have our heating set on 18C at home for 2 hours in a morning and 3 hours in an evening. We also turned the towel rail in the bathroom up and left the light on before getting a shower. Mark had told us to leave 30 minutes between showers as the hot water would run out! After we had been in the cottage for about 3 hours we phoned Mark to tell him that the heating hadn't come on. He came and fiddled with the control but much to our surprise (ha ha) it still didn't work. Mark never contacted us again to check it was working. The only the place to store food was in a cupboard which we couldn't open as the door was stuck shut. No instructions for cooker, microwave, TV or heating. No certificates to show gas appliances had been serviced or that the electrics had been checked. No local information. Plenty of lumps of metal hanging about and a display of old chopping boards that you wouldn't dare put food on. No proper food chopping boards, cheese grater or garlic press. No sharp knives. Only 2 small saucepans one with the heat resistant cover split and hanging off. On Sykes listing it shows a 5 tick rating. This is a joke when these days you expect a proper fitted kitchen with dish washer and decent utensils. Oh and by the way the pub is 2 minutes walk away as stated but it has been shut for 2/3 months and is unlikely to open. Felt ripped off! Sykes should have this property reinspected and tell owner to get things sorted out.

We had an amazing stay at The Sun House.

We were greeted on arrival and shown around the property, which is located in a quiet area and we heard no noise the whole duration of our stay. The cottage had everything we needed to be comfortable during our stay and everything was extremely clean. We particularly loved the underfloor heating in the bedroom and bathroom as it can get quite cold and this kept it lovely and cosy (due to the time of year we visited!). The hosts were very friendly and were on hand for whatever we needed. We will look forward to visiting again.

A lovely cottage close to Knaresborough, the Dales, Yorkshire Moors and lots of sites worthy of a visit.

The cottage is clean, roomy, well appointed and set in lovely well cared for gardens. The owners were very helpful and they obviously take pride in their property. We have booked for a second time next year.

The property was perfectly clean and contained everything that you would need for an enjoyable stay.

This was our second visit to this property and we were just as comfortable and happy as we were on our first visit. The property is in a great location for exploring Yorkshire and we would have no hesitation in recommending this property to friends and family.

The property was ideal for 2 set in a wonderful peaceful location.

Mark, the landlord was welcoming, helpful and knowledgable regarding the local area.

Lovely cottage in a quiet village, beautiful surroundings with everything needed for an enjoyable stay will certainly visit again Thank you Mark & Fiona

The cottage was very cosy, lovely gardens.

The kitchen was well equipped and the property well maintained overall. The owners were very friendly and welcoming and would definitely recommend The Sun House.

Sun House is a perfect cottage in a perfect location with excellent road links to the many places of interest nearby.

Mark the owner gave us a guided tour of the cottage on arrival which was extremely useful. If we decide to visit North Yorkshire again Sun House will be the first port of call.

Very nice property in a great location.

Enjoyed a lovely week at The Sun House.

The weather was beautiful and it was lovely sitting out in the private garden listening to the birds and looking at the beautiful flowers. The cottage was comfortable, clean and cosy. The owner, Mark explained how everything worked. Very close to the A1 for travelling. Fountains Abbey, Brimham Rocks, Newby Hall, Knaresborough and Harrogate all within easy reach. Would definitely stay here again.

This is one of the nicest holiday properties we've ever stayed in.

Really thoughtfully decorated to a very high standard, peaceful, and with 2 beautiful little patio gardens. Absolutely amazing.

Would throughly recommend the sun house if and it is only an if the photos do not give a true impression of how lovely and beautiful the the sun house is .

I throughly recommend this as one of my favourite places to stay in thanks also to Mark and Fiona who were very friendly and welcoming.

We really enjoyed our stay at Sun house, well equipped and very well presented.

Owners were very helpful and accommodating. I would recommend the accommodation to anyone.

Lovely, quiet cottage tastefully decorated.

Owner was friendly, helpful and caring.

We really enjoyed our stay at Sun Cottage, Mark met us on arrival and gave us a first class , informative tour of the place and from then on it was all plain sailing.

Pity about the weather, we left a day early because of the inclement conditions. The rest of the time we were able to get out to surrounding towns/villages . Very good meals at five different locations. All in all, we had a good time.

A lovely little cottage, warm and cosy, and we were here at probably the coldest week this year(03/23), and we were really warm and comfortable.

Property ideally situated to visit North Yorkshire including short drives away to Knaresborough, Harrogate, Pateley Bridge & Brimham Rocks.

Ideal for walking. We would not hesitate in recommending this property to family & friends as the hosts Mark & Fiona were very welcoming. Janet & Vernon

A lovely cottage and a lovely holiday in every way, Mark and Fiona good hosts, what’s not to like, loved it, patnjoe

Brillant cottage, cosy and comfortable set in beautiful gardens, every thing you could possibly need for a lovely Yorkshire holiday.

Huge thank you to Mark and Fiona for such a warm welcome, our second time at Sun House and would go back tomorrow if we could!

Excellent stay, very enjoyable.

Peaceful & quiet, very comfortable.

Immaculately presented, smelt lovely and fresh.

Just beautiful. The hosts were absolutely lovely, so helpful but also gave us space to relax. We had a wonderful week at Sun House. The gardens are lovely cottage gardens with beautiful flowers. It's a great place to visit North Yorkshire such as Harrogate, York and the coast which are nearby. We had wonderful walks across the fields behind the house.

A very comfortable let with all that was needed to enjoy our stay.

The owners are on hand if needed but otherwise leave one to get on with it in privacy. A nice location, ideal for exploration of Yorkshire. We have been here twice and would definitely used Sun House again.

Great stay in a nice quite comfortable cottage

This is a lovely little cottage, furnished with real character and style.

We think of it as an Arts and Crafts cottage! It also has attractive and well-cared for gardens and courtyard. We found it very handy for getting to RHS Harlow Carr gardens, where one of us was temporarily working. The other found it a great base for cycling in the area. Highly recommended.

A beautiful well furnished cottage, everything supplied a lovely stove to light in the chilly evenings, nice outdoor space to sit and have breakfast weather permitting, great place for walking and easy drive to Knaresborough where we enjoyed coffee and walk.

Train trip into York town easy long stay parking in Knaresborough train every hour. Would definitely visit again when we have seen other places on our list.

Friendly helpful hosts Lovely surroundings and excellent facilities

The cottage was very well equipped and spotlessly clean.

We were welcomed by the owner who explained everything we needed to know and gave great advice about local attractions. He then left us to enjoy our holiday in private but made sure that we knew how to contact him if needed, which was absolutely perfect. The location was quiet and rural but with very easy and local access to areas of interest. We would have no hesitation in returning for another break.

Beautiful cottage with helpful owners in a great location.

Fiona and Mark charming.

Lovely cottage, very relaxing. No shops within walking distance but pub round the corner. Highly recommended

Superbly located cottage, a real character property, immaculately kept and maintained by the owners and with everything you need.

Stunning gardens an absolute pleasure to sit outside and enjoy.

Beautiful, comfy cottage, cottage gardens to front and rear filled with stunning array of plants.

Excellent hosts who made us very welcome and allowing us to use their gardens to wander about. Charming village, very peaceful but close to Knaresborough and Harrogate plus the Dales and Moors. Couldn`t have wished for more, plus we had a week of glorious sunshine so the cottage lived up to it`s name!

Our hosts gave us a very warm and friendly welcome and do everything possible to ensure their guests' comfort and enjoyment.

Lovely little cottage, beautifully done in quiet surroundings.

Fiona and Mark are very welcoming and helpful. We had a lovely comfortable week.

Very comforable cottage.

Expected it to be a farm but was not,however it used to be and it was very homely. The owners are friendly and helpful people. We would consider it again should we revisit that area.

The photos didn't do the cottage or location justice.

We had a lovely time and would happily holiday here again.

Hosts very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful gardens.

Beautiful cottage in lovely location.

Hosts very welcoming & took time to explain the facilities available. We will return

This is one of the best cottages we have stayed and its the second time we have been there.

Its so quaint and cosy. Very clean and comfortable like home from home.

Lovely cosy cottage, had everything you could need.

Cottage was spotlessly clean and all covid procedures in place. Easy to get to from the A1 and lots of places to visit close by but far enough away for some peace and tranquility. We are already planning a return visit.

Cottage was lovely.

Owners were friendly and helpful. In easy reach of places to visit. All that we needed for our short break.

WARM WELCOME AND WARM COTTAGE.

As Mrs Mcmahon has described in her review, we also arrived to find the cottage cold and was given the exact same information.

We were told by the owner that the underfloor heating in the kitchen / lounge area was not working and needed significant repairs (the whole floor needed to be taken up). The heating in the hall, bathroom and bedroom was inadequate. We had to light the gas stove first thing in the morning and return to bed waiting for the lounge area to warm up. This would take sometime to reach a reasonable temperature in the lounge area. There is a notice asking guests not to leave the gas stove on whilst away from the cottage and as the property is so poorly insulated it becomes very cold very quickly. On our return each day the gas stove was the only heating available, and again, it took sometime to warm the main room through. The bed was most uncomfortable and clearly needed to be replaced. The owner is aware of this too. Guests also need a torch in the dark evenings as it is quite dark from the car park area to the cottage door. We did mention on our departure these issues with the owner and were informed that the cottage would not be available over the winter months. What makes matters much worse is the fact that we contacted Sykes to inform them of the situation and asked them to amend their website accordingly so that any future guests could take this into consideration. The customer service advisor was really rude, saying that it was the guests responsibility to ask the owner for additional heating. This wasn't the point we were trying to make. We were merely suggesting that future guests would be aware of the problem before booking. It was clear from the website that Sykes were still advertising the cottage in the winter months, contrary to what we had been told. Since our first discussion with Sykes, we have asked to speak to a supervisor. We have spoken to Sykes on four occasions and been promised return calls twice and no one has either investigated the situation, changed the website, or returned a call. This is really poor customer service.

We arrived in Ferrensby in cold weather.

The property is listed as having underfloor heating, unfortunately the owner told us on arrival that this was ‘hit and miss’ but asked us not to try to alter the heating controls as it wouldn’t make any difference. The underfloor heating in the bathroom only came on when the light was turned on. He didn’t offer any other form of heating for the bedroom and although the gas heater was efficient for the sitting area, the hall, bedroom and bathroom remained unheated. We had particularly heavy frosts during our stay and without any background heat at all, the property was not comfortable. The owner did not come to ask whether we were comfortable or offer an alternative form of heating, ie convector radiator for the bedroom. In previous properties we have stayed in, the owner or manager has called on the second day of our stay to ask if everything was ok. This did not happen at the Ferrensby property. We left earlier than planned as we were having to get up early to light the gas fire to try to warm the property and decided we would be more comfortable at home. This was a shame as we had been looking forward to this winter break.

Loved sun house cottage.

Mark & Fiona have done a terrific job with the decor. Our 2nd time there, and will go back again. Perfectly placed for exploring Yorkshire / Lancashire / Cumbria.

Beautifully appointed cottage which was perfect for two.

Very well equipped so you had everything you needed including freeview and very good internet. Very cosy cottage with a lovely gas fire in the lounge. Excellent hosts who gave good recommendations for places to visit and where to eat. Good location for visiting lots of sights in Yorkshire including Harrogate, York, Knaresborough and Ripon.

This is a lovely cottage and the owner very friendly.

Everything you need for a relaxing holiday with plenty to see and do nearby.

This cottage was set in a very tranquil beautiful area with lovely gardens and birds and ducks.

It was a little oasis! We went for 3 weeks and will definitely go back again. Everything was great and the managing couple were always around for whatever we needed. Can’t say enough about it! Also bus stop right across the road.... can get you everywhere. Thanks

Well equipped cottage with original features.

Well situated for visiting North Yorkshire 2 courtyard gardens planted for bees and butterflies, lovely place to sit morning and evenings. We also enjoyed the wildflower meadows and wood at the end of the garden.

A great opportunity to enjoy a holiday cottage in the back garden of a listed building.

Fabulous setting with a huge back garden.to enjoy after a day of sightseeing. Owners Mark and Fiona, a charming and helpful couple who made our stay even more enjoyable. Ferensby is only a short hop to Knaresborough, Harrogate Pately Bridge and Grassington and when you arrive back at sun cottage you are welcomed by the resident ducks, it does not get any better. Quirky Cottage, lovely gardens you would be Quackers not to stay there. Brian/Pauline.

the location was ideal for cycling and near to all towns very peaceful the sun house was the best cottage i have stayed in .

The Sun House has been beautifully and thoughtfully prepared by the owners, who are delightful and extremely helpful.

We were pleasantly surprised to discover a secluded seating area for capturing the evening sun, which was not mentioned in the description of the cottage. The location of the cottage is ideal for visiting numerous places of interest in the area. An excellent cottage at a very reasonable price.

We have been taking self catering holidays for 30 plus years and rate this cottage the best that we have stayed in.

Highly recommend this excellent property,good location,superb layout.Friendly owners,it is a must stay here again.

First time we've used Sykes after a friends' recommendation.

Delighted with the cottage , no problems at all and a very helpful owner. Location was tremendous for visiting many attractions.

Perfect cottage in a lovely area of Yorkshire.

Secluded and peaceful without being isolated. Owners very friendly and helpful.

The sun house was home from home, we were so comfortable and relaxed, would certainly recommend it.

Mark and Fiona are such lovely people.

Beautiful character cottage full of charm yet with ever modern convenience and the bonus of two delightful garden areas to sit with a book enjoying the peace and quiet or for alfresco dining.

The property is well situated for exploring this lovely part of Yorkshire with Knaresborough, York , Harrogate and Fountains Abbey all within easy reach. There is a large supermarket just a few miles away and 4 pubs / restaurants within a mile and a half. We especially liked The Wild Swan and The Bluebell Inn. As keen golfers we were delighted to find a selection of lovely parkland courses nearby and all very reasonably priced. The owner of the cottage, Mark was very helpful and friendly. He greeted us on arrival with fresh milk for a cuppa and showed us round the property.We would definitely recommend this cottage and hope to return in the not too distant future.

The cottage is a delightful place to make a base,to explore Yorkshire and have comfortable and secure accomadation to return to.

I would recommend this cottage without reservation.

Absolutely superb cottage with every amenity - photos don't do it justice.

Friendly and helpful owners, great central spot for touring Yorkshire. Highly recommend.

The cottage was built by the owner himself with a lot of craftmanship, love for original materials and beautifully decorated.

A very complete house,everything was perfect. With 2 sitting aereas outside with lot of flowerpots and a beatiful garden. It’s located in a very central part of the neighbourhood, you can visit lots of nice gardens or visit the yorkshire dales. We thougt is was wonderfull.

Sun House is a lovely cottage, just right for two people.

It has two lovely courtyards to sit in according to the sun. It is situated in a great location for exploring the area and beyond. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful and we hope to return to this cottage very soon.

The whole experience was excellent .

Son house is a little gem & the owners are very helpfull.

Best cottage we have stayed at.

Larger than expected and could not fault.

Lovely village, no shops but Morrisons three miles away.

Cottage really nice, everything you need for short stay. Gardens lovely, very restful place. Would return.

2nd time at The Sun House.

Had a brilliant time again..Easy to get to and a great location

Very comfortable and cosy cottage.

Beautiful setting overlooking the old orchard, complete with daffodils. Loved seeing the ducks from the local pond visit each morning. Lovely hosts. Ideally placed for Knaresborough, Harrogate and York. If we revisit the area will definitely book The Sun House again.

This is the second time we have stayed at The Sun House.

It is a beautiful cottage full of character and charm. There Is a gas stove which is great at keeping the place toasty off season. The bedroom is a very good size with plenty of wardrobe space and hangers. The bathroom is well lit with a nice deep windowsill for all your toiletries. There is a pretty front garden overlooking the owners apple orchard. A courtyard out the back is the perfect place to unwind in the evening with a glass of wine. The cottage is in a quiet pretty village only a short drive from Knaresborough and then 10 minutes from Harrogate. We love it here and will be coming back. Angela and Paul

Having never stayed in a cottage before we where not sure what to expect but this little cottage ticked all the boxes, the owners were very friendly and helpful with any directions that we asked for.

The only thing I would say is once one person has had a shower leave awhile before the next person has theres due to it being a small hot water tank.

Sykes did not contact me with exact location of the cottage or how to get in touch with the owners.

However when we finally arrived at the cottage(with directions from a neighbour) Mark was very friendly and welcoming.

The cottage was charming with lovely small gardens front and rear.

The owners were very helpful and they had spent time and effort making the cottage into a lovely home. Peaceful and relaxing.

Excellent Cottage and location.

Owners very friendly and helpful

A lovely cottage, central to Harrogate and all visitor attractions in that area.

The only negative comment would be no Wifi connection, which wouldn't deter me from booking this cottage in the future.

Friendliness of owners.

Easy access to various locations. Beauty of the river Nidd.

A wonderful cottage, lots of character, decorated to a high standard, beautiful gardens.

The owners Mark and Fiona are friendly and helpful. I would stay here again and recommend to anyone

The accommodation exceeded our expectations

Our cottage was brilliant, the location was great there was so much to do and we we're met my Fiona and Mark who recommended plenty of things for us.

Our cottage had a lovely fire which warmed up the place so quickly, we had all the facilities we needed and wanted. Fiona and Mark made us feel completely at home and we are very thankful to them for letting us stay in their lovely cottage.

This was our second visit and it was just as good as our first.

The owners are perfect in every way and deserve every success.

Fabulous location for exploring North Yorkshire, lots of hidden gems nearby!

Also lots of facilities on the doorstep! Owners are very friendly and helpful.
