“We enjoyed In and Out Cottage, and Middleham (which town we had visited previously).”

We hope to return to the Cottage, which is comfortable, and well equipped.

We hope to return to the Cottage, which is comfortable, and well equipped. However, the television seemed, initially, to be difficult to operate, although the fire at the Bilsdale transmitter did not help. We overcame the problem by use of our own subscriptions to iPlayer etc. We never fathomed out the electric heaters, either. But these difficulties did not materially affect our stay.

“Were only told about scaffolding one week before our holiday it was obvious to any one it had been put up long before.”

the front of the cottage looked out onto the rear of a hotel court yard which every day five or six bags dirty bed linen and wheelie bins full of rubbish the rear looked on to a court yard full of building bricks and rubble. none of this shown on the add for the holiday. while we did receive one hundred pounds by way of compensation. had we known any of this we would not have booked the holiday.

“The cottage met expectations as we had been told about scaffolding on the adjacent property a week before we were due to go.”

The cottage itself is lovely but the scaffolding spoils any views from the living room or front of the cottage. The work did not cause any noise nuisance but the workers used the outside stairs as an access route therefore using the seating area was compromised. The description of the cottage also included a space to store bikes but I am not sure where that was as the scaffolding was right next to the door. Without the scaffolding the cottage would be idea. It was clean, warm and spacious. Perfectly situated for walks and there were excellent pubs and restaurants close by. We had lovely weather and the countryside is absolutely stunning.

“Fantastic place to stay!”

Great base to explore the Yorkshire Dales.

Mr Hailstones June 2021

“My spouse and I stayed at the "In & Out Cottage" for a week.”

We loved this little cottage, it really was a cosy home away from home, and the super king sized bed is ammmmazing!!!!! Great location, literally within yards of 3 pubs and a chippy

- Mr Hailstones, June 2021
Mr Phythian June 2021

“The cottage was as described, well designed and equipped and the bedroom was more comfortable than expected with lovely super king size bed.”

Spotlessly clean on arrival. Previous guests have commented that the settee was 'sagging', however I'm pleased to report a new settee was installed during our stay.

- Mr Phythian, June 2021
Mr White June 2021

“A lovely little cottage for an anniversary break.”

Smashing pubs on the doorstep, highly recommend the Richard the 3rd. Very quiet but lovely to see the horses every morning and watching the on the gallops. Central location to visit lots of places of interest.

- Mr White, June 2021
Mrs Stephens May 2021

“Very comfortable cottage.”

Would highly recommend, in a great position for walking. Not far from the National Park.

- Mrs Stephens, May 2021
Mrs Pressley May 2021

“Efficient service from Sykes to enable our holiday plans to go smoothly.”

The cottage is in a courtyard around the back of the Wensleydale Hotel and car parking is probably best in the village square.: This is a cosy little cottage, clean , tidy and comfortable with all amenities we needed. It has a central place in Middleham and we were able to take many walks directly from the village without the need of transport. Middleham had lots of options for food with great pubs and takeaways nearbby ( the fish and chip shop had the best we’ve had for ages). it was lovely to sit in the square on an evening with a drink and take in the atmosphere of this historic place. The village shop is fantastic, well stocked and very helpful and friendly service. We really enjoyed our weekend break , Middleham is a great place to visit and very friendly , we will be back!

“In and Out Cottage is a little gem tucked away in the yard behind the old coaching house now called the Wensleydale Hotel.”

The cottage is tastefully decorated (fake pot plants on the balcony excepted) and was a very cosy bolt hole. The weather was close to freezing on more than a couple of nights so we enjoyed the roaring log burner, which pumped out heat and got things toasty in no time. Our wood lasted three or four nights. The upside down layout works well to give views of the hills around. In warmer times there’s a little outside balcony/steps to sit with your G and T and enjoy a view down the valley. You’re bang in the middle of Middleham. Very close to Richard III’s castle and a short walk to The Gallup’s where you can watch many of the 1400 (we’re told) sleek racehorses exercise (from a distance. Go too close and get shouted at by the riders!). There are so many beautiful places to see in the Dales but a walk up Swaledale from Muker was our favourite. If the rain sets in the cottage has BTVision and you can log into your own Prime Video and Netflix. Overall a great stay!

- Mr Robertshaw, April 2021
Ms Quinn April 2021

“Lovey little cottage right in Middleham centre.”

Five minutes drive to leyburn. Very comfortable bed. Lots of nice walks around and a few local pubs. Had to contact the owners about something and they sorted things out very quickly! Worth knowing that there’s currently no store cupboard ingredients in the cottage - so may be worth bringing a few basics if planning to cook! Would recommend and would definitely book again

- Ms Quinn, April 2021
Mrs Goldson October 2020

“What an amazing place to visit!”

The cottage was perfect with everything you need. A very central location and so cosy and welcoming. We stayed for a week and were very sad to leave. There are wonderful walks on the doorstep and the horses at the gallop are an awesome sight which we were lucky to see. Spoilt for choice with places to eat especially the Fish and Chip takeaway in Middleham. Don’t hesitate to book and take your walking boots to really experience the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales. We’ll definitely be back!!

- Mrs Goldson, October 2020
Mrs Taylor September 2020

“A lovely cottage, very well organised and thought out.”

The outside area looks a bit more spartan on the pictures I think it could do with a tidy up and a lick of paint. Inside is lovely, warm and cosy. We didn’t use the log burner as the other heating was adequate for our needs. The television is a good size which is a rare find in a small cottage and the super king size bed just sooooo comfortable. Parking nearby can be problematic particularly if you’re arriving on a weekend when the market square is busy, particularly during the current situation when you have extra things to carry. Overall a lovely cosy cottage in a great place for walks from the doorstep and touring the beautiful dales.

- Mrs Taylor, September 2020
Miss Wilks August 2020

“Couldn’t have been more perfect.”

Beautiful little cottage with the most comfortable and biggest bed we have ever slept in. Had everything you could possibly need. Could happily live in it. Didn’t want to leave. Perfect location where you could walk a few steps out of the door to have a meal/drink in one of the many places locally. Castle, shops, tea rooms on the doorstep. Overlooks the racing stables next door. You can hear the horses being taken up to the gallops. Plenty of beautiful walks/market towns/places of interest within easy reach. We could happily have stayed another week. Couldn’t recommend more highly. Very sad to come home even though we love home.

- Miss Wilks, August 2020
Miss Leslie July 2020

“Lovely cottage, perfect for couples.”

The bed was beautiful and the cottage met our needs perfectly.

Mr Okeefe December 2019

“Fantastic cottage in a great location.”

The ambiance of the rooms is set by the tasteful decor and attention to detail. We have recomended the cottage and Sykes as a company to use.

- Mr Okeefe, December 2019
Mrs Robinson November 2019

“We come camping 4 times a year to Leyburn and decided to look around for a holiday cottage for the winter months.”

Our idea being to try a few then choose one to book next year. Absolutely fell in love with this enchanting homely warm cottage. Perfectly perfect in every way. Wont even be trying any others. Look forward to returning xxxx

- Mrs Robinson, November 2019
Mrs Mccarthy October 2019

“Lovely cottage.”

2nd visit. Very comfortable with amazing bed. In the centre of Middleham with bars and restaurants close by. Quiet property in mews. Parking in main square. Sometimes busy but always managed to park.

- Mrs Mccarthy, October 2019
Mrs Burnley October 2019

“Lovely well equipped cottage.”

Warm and romantic for a couple. Tucked away and quiet but right in the centre of the village. Wensleydale is gorgeous with pretty villages and market towns. Meal in Wensleydale hotel was fabulous and only 1 minute walk! Bar meal at richard111 was very good. The bed in the cottage as enormous and very comfortable. Loved the stay!

- Mrs Burnley, October 2019
Mr Botterill October 2019

“We could not fault the in and out cottage in such a lovely setting.”

The cottage is so warm and cosy and it had everything you could think of whilst you where there. Middleham is an excellent base to explore the Dales from loved seeing all the racehorse’s in the morning up at the gallops and trotting around the village back to there stables. Would definitely recommend this cottage for a nice romantic get away.

- Mr Botterill, October 2019
Mr Gatewood September 2019

“Middleham is very centrally placed for many activities.”

Great for exploring Historic houses and Museums such as Bowes Museum and Fountains Abbey. Pic-nicking on the Moors is very refreshing. Excellent eateries are in Middleham and surrounding area offering quality food and large portions with value prices. Barnard Castle and Tan Hill, highest Inn in Britain is worth a visit. The 'Shepherdess', Amanda Owen can be visited at Ravenseat.

- Mr Gatewood, September 2019
Mr Taylor August 2019

“Lovely cottage for a romantic getaway.”

Self catered so you can go nuts with cooking some nice country meals with fresh produce, good sharp knives as well so whoever owns it must have some appreciation of cooking. Nice comfy bed and spacious upstairs. Only pitfalls were the choice in sofa material, the washing machine didn't work properly and unless you drive then don't expect it to be easy to get around as the buses all stop at 2 o'clock and you're miles from a reasonably priced shop.

- Mr Taylor, August 2019
Mr Tuck August 2019

“The bedding has duck down filling.”

Although nice and comfortable unfortunately my wife was allergic to this and came out in a rash. May be better to have standard bedding that would be ok for everyone.

- Mr Tuck, August 2019
Mrs Goddard August 2019

“Gorgeous Cottage, really sweet, loved the decor & really clean & had every thing you needed & situated in a quiet spot.”

The massive bed was so comfy. The only negative was the sofa was quite low & soft, not a problem for me but hubby has a bad back & it was a bit uncomfy but used cushions to sit on so he was okay. It would not stop us booking again, loved it 10 out of 10. Thank you

- Mrs Goddard, August 2019
Mr Coulson-smith May 2019

“The cottage was as expected, comfortable, well equipped and ideal for a relaxing break.”

Middleham is a lovely village and I was made to feel very welcome by all I met. Middleham is convenient to a number of local attractions, Hawes, Leyburn, Masham and not forgetting Ripon races which were on during my stay. I stayed one week which was just right (earlier this year I stayed for three nights which, for me, was too short). The upshot of this is I will be returning in the not too distant future.

- Mr Coulson-smith, May 2019
Mr Parker May 2019

“The cottage was beautiful and in an excellent location.”

No complaints but the settee was low and we found a bit uncomfortable. However this is personal preference and not a fault. Overall a very good value for money experience. We would definitely return to this cottage the next time we are in this area.

- Mr Parker, May 2019
Mrs Roberts May 2019

“We were a bit put off at first as we couldn't see the white Swan hotel as was in the instructions after asking several people I went into the antique shop on the corner of the square to find that the White Swan was now the Wensleydale Hotel.”

. After we had sorted that out I then found that the Tour de Yorkshire was passing through the village on the Sunday and cars could not be left on the market square, that meant trying to find were to park. I eventually went to the hotel and was aloud to take my car to the back of the hotel. This was a problelm solved. The rest of the holiday passed quite well except for rain everyday. Nothing to be done about that.

- Mrs Roberts, May 2019
Mr Dennis April 2019

“Directions reference the White Swan hotel but it has changed hands and name to Wensleydale Hotel is the only comment we would advise.”

- Mr Dennis, April 2019
Mrs Watson April 2019

“Lovely cottage, loved the personal touches like the hamper.”

Really friendly village, pubs great & brilliant to see all the horses walking through & around the village, would definitely recommend for a cosy retreat for 2.

- Mrs Watson, April 2019
Mr Mclean March 2019

“Very comfortable, clean cottage in a perfect location in the middle of the village.”

Made good use of the log fire after morning walks around the area. Facilities were excellent and everything in the cottage looked new.

- Mr Mclean, March 2019
Mr Andrews March 2019

“All the places we have been before with sykes this is the first we would return to”

- Mr Andrews, March 2019
Mrs Gillard December 2018

“Absolutely gorgeous, cosy cottage.”

Everything was provided so we didn't need to do a big shop - cleaning stuff etc already there. Love Middleham, definitely recommend the Richard the Third pub - food amazing and comes in big quantities! This is our 3rd time here to Middleham, we will be back. Helen

- Mrs Gillard, December 2018
Mrs Allcock November 2018

“The cottage was gorgeous, very cosy and the owner had made good use of the space available.”

It was a joy to return to after a day out and about. It was extremely clean, well presented with a lovely welcome pack. Everything worked as it should too. Our only two minor concerns which may be more personal to us was that we didn’t find the bed comfortable so didn’t sleep particularly well and the duvet, although fluffy was heavy making us too warm. Also there was a house/flat opposite which had very loud music playing until late which could be heard over the noise on the tv- looking out from the kitchen door, opposite to the window below. Other than that, it was perfect, thank you.

- Mrs Allcock, November 2018
Mrs Tonner September 2018

“We had a great holiday in the cottage.”

It was very comfortable and well equipped. We could not have asked for any more. Middleham is a lovely and very friendly village with very good coffee shops and restaurants. It is also in a great position for exploring other parts of N.Yorkshire either by car or by foot. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone.

- Mrs Tonner, September 2018
Mrs Quin August 2018

“Had a lovely stay at in and out cottage everything was thought off lovely well ...”

Had a lovely stay at in and out cottage everything was thought off lovely well come gift from owners beautiful walking area local village very friendly pubs on your doorstep shop about 100 yds away really enjoyed our stay thinking of returning next year as so many more walks we would like to do

- Mrs Quin, August 2018
Miss Chapman August 2018

“In & Out cottage was fantastic.”

The owners have gone over and above by providing items that you might need whilst away. The cottage was immaculate and all as advertised. Extremely good value for money and we had a really lovely week away. Thank you very much.

- Miss Chapman, August 2018
Miss Draper August 2018

“We had a wonderful time at the in and out cottage in wensleydale.”

When we first stepped into the cottage we were amazed at how beautiful it was. We felt a warm welcome with wine and little goodies left for us to enjoy. It was fresh and clean and had everything we needed. In the evening we got to enjoy the cosey log fire with the fresh logs and coal that was left for us to use. The little village surrounding the cottage was beautiful with breathtaking landscapes for us to admire. The owners of the local pub owners made us feel really welcome and provided a lovely service of hospitality, good food and gave us all a memeorable time . We founds lots to do and see , experiencing all of our expectations of the countryside. We visited the local rivers and towns, went fishing at woodland lakes, toured Bolton castle, and shopped for gifts in the lovely town of Leyburn. The cottage was perfect for a relaxing breakaway and a perfect location to explore the Yorkshire dales. We will defenitly be returning in the future.

- Miss Draper, August 2018
Mr Brandwood June 2018

“The cottage was ideal for our needs.”

The cottage was ideally situated in a central position to allow us to explore the Yorkshire Dales, and to follow our interests in bird watching, photography and generally allowing us the chance to survey beautiful scenery.

- Mr Brandwood, June 2018
Mr Jones May 2018

“Fantastic cottage in a great location, the cottage has been very tastefully renovated to a high standard and is spotlessly clean!”

Will definitely be booking again!

- Mr Jones, May 2018
Mrs Martin April 2018

“The cottage is lovely and very clean everything you would want is supplied and the welcome tray of wine and nibbles was a nice touch.”

If there was one thing that could make it even better it is if the hot water tap in the shower room ,which has very low pressure , could be made to run a bit faster but this did not affect our stay from being excellent .

- Mrs Martin, April 2018
Mrs Adams February 2018

“Super little cottage with good amenities and a good location.”
