“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.

“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.

“Lovely weekend break”

Just back from a 2 night stay at this lovely little cottage in the Dales. Overall impressions very good. The cottage was very clean and very well equipped and we could have happily stayed for anther couple of nights. I think the Sykes Cottages photos portray the cottage externally better than it actually was, with it needing a propery tidy up outside. The cheap plastic plant had faded and was wonky and the other planter outside the front door was full of stagnant water and nothing else! The cottage is very well equipped. The cottage manual needs to be updated slightly as some of the info was wrong. Minor detail. A lovely log fire with plenty of logs. The bedroom was lovely and the bed fantastic. I would return although there's not much happening in MIddleham itself.

“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.

“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

“Not 5 Star anymore”

Our third stay here. It is still wonderful, but some changes made by the new owners did not make it better. Mostly disturbing is the new disposition in the living-dining area. The sofa in this direction is killing the space and the atmosphere. Tv much too large for this room. And as we like to cook, as son as you set the table you cannot move anymore. The decor changed to a no ecological friendly one.. no need to have all this battery candles and plastic flowers. Compared to the last stays the cottage lost some comforts. Sofa needs a upholstery,the kitchen is missing some items the made the other stays perfect.missing washing powder pads, a better possibility to put the washed dishes.left expired food in cupboard.the cottage would need a deep clean. Not as immaculate clean as it used to be. Hoover was blocked; needed 1/2 an hour to make it works.we do still love the cottage, but we know it can be better! Another thing very disturbing is that the code for the key safe is remaining the same all the time.not very professional.

“Beautiful cottage getaway”

Just back from a long weekend at this exquisite cottage where everything, and I really mean everything, has been thought of by the owners. As soon as we set foot inside on Friday afternoon it felt like a home from home. A toasty warm welcome thanks to the heaters having been left on in readiness for our arrival. The lounge is spacious yet cosy with a huge TV(with freeview), soft squishy sofa, a thick soft rug underfoot and a log burner (which sadly we never had chance to use due to either being late back from an outing or being more than warm enough with the heaters). In one corner but still unobtrusive is the kitchen and a more well equipped kitchen you couldn't ask for. With a choice of pubs with good food in the market square we didn't make much use of it but I could have made a full 3 course dinner for a family with all the equipment available. All very well maintained too. The owner had left a lovely welcome pack of essentials on the unit top but once I opened the cupboard it seemed an entire shop had been left, another great positive. The bedroom was downstairs and again good use of the space has been made with a small but perfectly formed shower room. Luxury fluffy towels in abundance and a whole host of spare toiletries should you need them. The bed was the comfiest bed I have ever slept in. Soft and cosy with a mass of pillows and a snug duck down duvet all giving such a gorgeous smell of fresh laundry. The thoughtful owner however has gone to the trouble of providing a whole extra set of pillows and duvet with a lower tog rating should you desire. Plenty to see and do in the area without travelling too far and if course plenty walks as you would expect in this part if the country. Spotlessly clean throughout and with plenty information about the cottage itself and the surrounding area. Wifi is included along with a starter pack of fuel for the burner. Overall an absolutely fantastic place that we will almost definitely be back to in the future and would highly recommend.

“Absolutely beautiful cottage”

Stayed for 4 days for a long weekend. The cottage is gorgeous, very cosy with log fire, exceptionally clean and tidy. Bed lovely and comfy, can’t find any faults with the cottage. Beautiful walks nearby, great pubs serving nice food. Fabulous place and I sure will be planning on returning again.

About the location

MIDDLEHAM

Leyburn 2.5 miles; Richmond 12 miles.

The attractive Wensleydale town of Middleham is renowned for its history and race horses. Much of the history is bound up with its Norman castle, which dates from 1190 and has a castle keep second in size only to the Tower of London. The horses are a great sight as they make their way to the gallops every morning. The pretty market square is partially cobbled and offers a range of shops, pubs and places to eat. The bustling market town of Leyburn is just a short drive away offering a variety of great shops and pubs, or why not take some time to explore The Forbidden Corner, a unique labyrinth of tunnels, chambers and surprises set amidst 4 acres of grounds, providing a fun day out for all the family? All in all a superb base for exploring Wensleydale and all within easy driving distance of York, the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales and Heritage Coast.
