  • "Lovely stay, great space and well kept."

    Really enjoyed it will be back.

  • "Wow fantastic cottage, very clean and comfortable."

    Please purchase a bigger TV, too small as per previous guests comments, The Hot tub requires a cover when raining cannot use. All in all would recommend to stay.

    Thank you for your feedback, we are sorting out the TV situation. We decided not to put a hottub cover on due to some guests enjoying star gazing at night but we will definitely look into this. We are glad you enjoyed your and hopefully see you again soon. Property Owner

    I would point out that you can hear the guests in the cottage next to us when they are talking and our tv isn't on. Otherwise a very pleasant stay.

  • "We had a great time in the cottage and could not fault anything at all."

    The cottage was well maintained spacious and had all the facilities needed for a great stay. The added bonus of the cottage was the on suit shower rooms, it also had a hot tub which we used during our stay. We would not hesitate to recommend this cottage and would stay again if we were in the back in area.

  • "Lovely quiet place to stay."

    Lots to do and see in this part of the country. Finished to a very high standard, could have done with extra drawer storage in the bedrooms. Every thing you needed was provided for in the kitchen, especially the fridge freezer, a decent size. Thought the TV could have been abit bigger, but that's personal choice. Would highly recommend this cottage.

  • "Cottage was beautiful."

    The only negative is that the dog walking paddock has loads of thistles growing which is not ideal.

  • "We have been away, hence the late review."

    The property, 'The Mill House' was of very high quality, ie furniture, flooring, equipment, all of which was incredibly good. We could, however, have done with a chest of drawers in the bedrooms. There was no body wash in the showers, which is unusual; no-where to put anything in the shower room, ie a shelf would be helpful The large windows in the lounge area looked out onto part of the courtyard, so not much privacy - we kept the curtains half closed - someone else mentioned that issue Not a lot of items in the cupboards, ie basic items like foil/cling film and no 'welcome' note or a bottle of milk or biscuits. We've stayed in lots of cottages/apartments both here and abroad and whilst this was of very high quality, there were a few things that didn't quite fit with the overall interior quality of 'The Mill House' Outside, there were signs on the owners' gates - 'Private, Keep Out', which we felt was a bit 'strong', just Private would have been fine. Also, the lady owner went past our part of the complex many times and never knocked on the door to say 'Hello' - she did manage a Hello as we were leaving! It is a difficult one, as people do like to get on with their holiday break, but equally, just a quick visit is really nice. Doesn't take up a lot of time, but does make a difference - you don't expect to make friends, but just to acknowledge that the owners are there and if there are any issues to let them know

    Our second time here. Quiet area, great little shared paddock for dogs and good for walking from the front door. Cottage cleaned and decorated to a very high standard! Beds comfortable and linen good quality! Lovely spending time in the hot tub after a days walking . Sad to leave and would certainly return

    Spent lots of time satellite watching and stargazing. Ideal base for all that Yorkshire has to offer. Facilities were excellent and the cottage was well laid out.

  • "This UK staycation was an absolute hidden gem that we are so pleased we stumbled across on Sykes."

    The photographs of the location and decor do this property absolute justice and the detail put in by the owners for our stay was on point. Very clean, well laid out living and bedroom areas, great modern touches like the electronic Vellux blinds/windows upstairs, and all kitchen appliances, cleaning and cooking materials you think you’d need. We could quite possibly turn up and still have all we needed for our trip which made the stay more comfortable the moment we arrived. We arrived to the barn set up with twinkle lights on the beams and a perfectly decorated Christmas tree to top off the decor for our winter visit in November/December. We recommend definitely booking a long visit here and to take advantage of the local places to visit like Thursk, Ripon Abbey National trust, York, Leeds and some other local treasures. 2 large supermarkets about a 15 minute drive away, and with full kitchen amenities you didn’t even need to leave the barn and often enjoyed a lock in playing board games, enjoying the log fire and the hot tub (great outside space especially if you are a bird, aeroplane or star watcher as the sky was so clear!) We visited a dog friendly pub called The Black Horse, Kirklington, for a Sunday Roast and to watch some sport. The owners were so friendly and the meal was so good we went back again later in the week for their midweek set menu. The Pub dog Lenny was a charmer and made each guest feel special the minute they walked through the door. We would definitely recommend you to bring a vehicle to get about to neighbouring villages (there is also electric vehicle charging available) but the local walks with the dog were just beautiful. Not even a negative to say apart from we kept the curtains closed to have more privacy from the courtyard in between the other properties on site and suggest a larger TV screen to fill the ample space in the living area. We are looking out for available dates for us to book to come back as it was the most relaxing birthday station we have had since we started using Sykes Holidays. Thank you very much for an amazing stay!

With a babbling hot tub, a toasty woodburning stove, and two en-suite bedrooms, this home is a delightful choice for a family, friends or two couples to enjoy a break from the day-to-day.

Handy parking greets you on arrival, before stepping into the spacious ground-floor area, home to a sitting room with a TV to curl up in front of.

From here, the wonderfully equipped kitchen is perfect for rustling up family favourites, with an ample dining table to enjoy your meals around while conversation flows.

Moving through the property and up the stairs, two bright and airy bedrooms offer a space to rest your head after a day of exploring, with convenient en-suites for extra privacy when freshening up, ready to do it all again the next day.

When you’re back from your adventurous days out, be sure to take advantage of the patio area, whether that’s with a dip in the hot tub, or enjoying your dinner outside with a glass of wine, the choice is yours.

After settling in, take the opportunity to explore the simplicity of rural life.

Start by visiting the intriguing World Of James Herriot, a museum dedicated to the famous writer and veterinarian.

Then, spend an afternoon at Thorp Perrow, where you can admire a vast collection of trees in the arboretum and encounter various birds of prey and mammals.

For those inclined toward sports, enjoy a round of golf surrounded by lush greenery at Thirsk & Northallerton Golf Club.

Don’t miss the chance to admire the grandeur of Newby Hall, a magnificent stately home surrounded by stunning gardens and a peaceful river.

For a nostalgic experience, board the delightful Wensleydale Railway at Leeming Bar Station and take in the scenic views of the Yorkshire Dales.

Finally, immerse yourself in Ripon with a serene walk through Ripon Spa Gardens and a visit to the Ripon Workhouse Museum, offering insights into the lives of the past.

Enjoy a rural retreat at The Mill House.
