  • "Directions could be better , took us some time to find it , used google in the end , maybe say alley at side of pub through gate."

    Could do with vent in bathroom or be able to open the window got hot up there.

    Thanks for your review Michelle. We take reviews very seriously and will ensure Sykes provide better directions from the car park in Middleham. The bathroom window does open but it has been very warm everywhere this month . Kate Property Owner

    Lovely cottage in the heart of the town Everything you need However the mattress was very uncomfortable you could feel every spring so uncomfortable sleep

    Thanks for your review Adrian . Glad you enjoyed the cottage. We understand that mattresses are subject to personal preference but will provide a mattress topper for those who want it. Kate Property Owner

  • "Cosy. Lovely and warm inside."

    Middleham is a lovely place to stay. Please add a few things to the description. * The stairs will be a challenge to folk with mobility issues. * A clearer description of the property location would be helpful.

    We only got 1 radiator working in the cottage and as it was a cold October that wasn't good enough , unless we say on the stairs for the evening that wasn't good enough, the cottage was lovely despite this, but I'd only go back in the summer months because of the lack of warmth

    Hi Susan all of the radiators in the cottage are working and as you will have seen from the previous guests review he found the cottage was cosy and warm. Had you contacted us we would have immediately attended to your concerns by coming to the property and putting them on for you. Property Owner

  • "Very pleasant comfortable stay."

    The cottage was clean but very compact but was not an issue. Unfortunately no washing facilities are available to clean clothes and no reception for my mobile & no WiFi. Due to the space I fully understand why the washing facilities are not provided as there would not be anywhere it could be put. With the phone and/or WiFi I couldn't make it receive any messages (or feedback requests) while I was in the cottage & had to try & catch up when out and about sightseeing.

  • "Nice small cozy cottage."

    Nice location and had everything I required. I did have a little struggle getting the key lockbox open but managed in the end. Only other thing as others have mentioned the shower screen is to small so the floor gets wet. The bed was very comfortable I would definitely stay again when I'm the area.

    Thanks so much Jason for your review. We are going to change the screen for a shower curtain this month as we can’t fit a larger screen unfortunately. So glad you enjoyed your stay! Kate Property Owner

  • "We really enjoyed our stay in Teal Cottage one slight downside was the shower screen was very narrow and could have been longer so less water would end up on the floor."

    Thanks so much for your review Kirk and really pleased you enjoyed your stay at Teal. I think we may change the shower screen for a curtain and thanks for bringing this to our attention. Kate Property Owner

  • "The house was fantastic, well located, clean and very comfortable, the first set of stairs are steep, but not as bad as people have previously mentioned, my wife and I are both 69 and had no difficulty while in this property."

    I would definitely stay here again if Sykes had not tripled the prices for 2025, this year I paid £325, next year this property for the same three nights is £1200!

    Thank you so much James for your wonderful review. So glad you enjoyed your stay at Teal Cottage. I will be raising with Sykes the 2025 figures as I have not approved them so thanks for drawing this to my attention. Kate Property Owner

  • "We have 2 comments to make."

    The photograph of the stairs is blatantly mis-leading. You can see a hand-rail on the stairs but it does not show the steep turn at the top of the stairs (where there is no hand-rail). This caused a real problem as my wife is slightly disabled and she found coping with the situation extremely distressing. The unsuitability of the stairs for those with any infirmity should be made clear on the web-site. A note on this point was left in the cottage for the owner. Also, when we arrived I phoned the owner to clarify the wi-fi situation. I was told there was no w-fi facility. This confused me as we would not have booked otherwise (as I told the owner). I assumed I had made a mistake but on returning home I looked again at the description on the web-site and it clearly states that wi-fi is available! We have been misled and are very disappointed. The question below asks whether we want this feedback published. In the circumstances it would be more appropriate if you gave the owner the opportunity to consider the position.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide a review on Teal Cottage. Our cottage is marketed through Skyes Cottages . There is nothing on the Sykes website advertising the cottage which suggests the cottage has wi-fi. We cannot be held responsible if a booking is made through another website over which we have no control of the content. Perhaps with respect you should raise your complaint with them and we will be asking Sykes to establish where the booking came from and what steps they can to take to ensure accuracy. The cottage as accurately described identifies it is over 3 storeys . In the circumstances it may have been appropriate to make further enquiries about the suitability of the property for your specific needs before booking it. Under the circumstances I would hope you will feel able to revise the review left for my cottage . Kate Property Owner

  • "Only mugs and wine glasses no glasses for water,egg cups,tea cups&no freezer"

    Thankyou for suggested list of items to add to the cottage inventory. You will appreciate the difficulty of meeting everyone’s culinary needs. We discussed the lack of a freezer on your arrival and on departure you accepted a direct payment for spoiled food. There had been water glasses which it seems had been broken or removed. This had not been notified to us so we hadn’t had an opportunity to replace them. This has now been rectified so thanks for bringing it to our attention. Likewise the property now has eggcups.

    As 80 year olds the bathroom wasn’t exactly convenient but then we were informed it was on the second floor. Pity you couldn’t have provided better weather

    Comfortable but would have preferred larger seat but I know difficult to fit in. All facilities were good. Broadband would have been nice due to poor phone signal, but not a major issue. Heating worked well. House was clean and decorated to high spec. We enjoyed our time here.

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.
