• "Very convenient to all Yorkshire attractions and in a delightful town."

  I'd definitely stay at Cleve Cottage again. In a nice quiet neighborhood.

• "Cleeve Cottage was just as advertised."

  A comfortable stay with every thing we needed, a well maintained cottage. The centre of town was in easy walking distance, with a choice of places to eat and drink and plenty of interesting places to visit close by and further afield. We had a good time and would be happy to book again. There was a road diversion from the town centre to the cottage but once we knew where we were there was no problem.

• "Cottage was well equipped, well-located, and had everything we needed."

  A smart TV would have been a nice extra, but not essential. The kitchen was very well equipped, which was great as we do a lot of cooking, and the beds were comfortable and the shower really pretty good for an electric shower. Also, when we had a small problem with it, the landlord was very quick to respond and turned up within the hour.

  Thankyou for your feedback. Just to be clear the Shower (new this year) is working perfectly, however, the touch controls are quite sensitive. Full instructions are in the Cottage Guide. Property Owner

• "A very well appointed place in an interesting village with Castle, good walks and a good choice of pubs serving good food."

  Comfortable beds, excellent kitchen. Second visit and would go again, even had nice weather.

• "Very clean and well presented, a nice house in a quiet area, only a short walk from the village centre."

  Although the weather didn't permit it, we would have been loathe to use the outdoor furniture, which is rusty. Inside the house, everything is provided for self-catering and a comfortable stay. We enjoyed our break there.

  Thanks for you feedback. I have refreshed the outdoor dining table and chairs. Cushions are provided for comfort. Property Owner

• "We liked Cleeve Cottage a lot."

  It was nicely decorated, spotlessly clean and had everything you needed.. with one exception: a fridge with a freezer compartment would have been useful! And, though this may be a personal thing, we found the bed in the main bedroom rather uncomfortable, with a lumpy mattress and hard pillows! But otherwise we really liked the cottage.

  Hi, thanks for your feedback. There is a good sized cupboard freezer in the garage which is available and ready for customers use. Property Owner

• "A very clean, tidy, snug and very well equipped cottage in a nice rural setting in quiet cul de sac with pleasant surrounding countryside."

  Very comfortable beds with crispy sheets. Kitchen as described, very well equipped. We did not use the log burner as not needed but looked a nice touch. Would visit again for a comfortable and pleasant stay.

• "Our family of four had a lovely stay in cosy Cleeve cottage."

  The cottage is well equipped - kitchen had everything could ask for - has good wifi, comfortable beds and is in a great location for visiting local landmarks such as Aysgarth Falls and Middleham castle (also Forbidden Corner, Castle Bolton although these were closed at the time of our visit - we will need to return!) The owner had provided details of local walks and we enjoyed following one of these from the cottage around Middleham and nearby Coverham. We recommend.

• "A couple of minor problems we had."

  The toilet doesn’t flush properly, it needs multiple handle pulls. I suspect the diaphragm in the flushing mechanism is split. The house is horrendously hot, 27 degrees. I tried to adjust it as per the book but made no difference. I suspect the heating is on all the time. The creaking floor boards everyone complains about haven’t been repaired. There are large cobwebs hanging from the cupboards and ceiling in the kitchen. Most surfaces, window sills etc haven’t been cleaned in a while.

  Thank you for your comments. The Heating is provided by Fischer electric radiators. Each has its own control. They are set at a daytime and a night-time temperature. Guests can adjust the temperature in each room by pressing + or - and can be easily switched off. I don't recognise your comments regarding the cleaning, but we will double check on each change over.

• "The cottage is cosy."

  Cleaning should include taking the cushions off the sofas. the vacuum cleaner is broken. The heating system doesn't work as per the cottages instruction leaflet so either baking hot or chilly. Kitchen facilities were good and the beds were comfortable. The pressure in the shower is pathetic..rinsing shampoo out of hair took a long time.I wrote all this on a separate sheet of paper left in the visitors book so that the owner could address it.

  Thankyou for your comments and I apologise for any problems you encountered. I read in the Visitors Book that in addition to these comments you noted the cottage was "a good place to stay and is well equipped". For balance I have now removed the Visitors Book as guests are leaving lots of positive comments in there and those with issues reporting to Sykes on here. Regarding the cleaning we have improved our processes to check more thoroughly. I have replaced the vacuum cleaner. I have also replaced the shower with a new powerful Bristan electric shower.

• "It would have been good customer service to advise beforehand that the television wasn’t working so that we could have brought DVD’s."

  The patio area could have been cleaner & should have a barrier across the big drop to the grass.

  Thank you for your feedback. For clarity, the TV is working perfectly. However, the North Yorkshire area has been affected by the TV Mast fire at Bilsdale which left 100,000 homes without TV signal for Freeview channels. This will hopefully be resolved soon. We note the comments and customers will be notified in advance. Apologies we didn't do that in your case. The patio area gets cleaned thoroughly at the end of the Summer season when it is vacant.

• "The instructions for recycling were very unclear which meant we couldn’t recycle our bottles/ cans etc and there was no blue bag for paper and card."

  This needs sorting out and clear instructions need to be given so that guests can recycle properly.

  Thank you for your feedback on the recycling. I have now made available three clearly marked recycling bins, one for glass, one for cans and plastic, and one for paper. These are collected weekly. Property Owner

  Thank-you for your comments. We've examined the floorboards on the upstairs landing and have banged down any loose ones, so we believe any squeaking has now been resolved. Property Owner

• "We had a lovely few days in the cottage in Middleham."

  The cottage had all the facilities it needed and was very close to a local shop and pubs. The beds were really comfortable too which was great. We would definitely consider returning for another stay. The only downside we found was the WiFi didn’t always work that well and the TV seemed to be affected by this too. We had however taken DVDs so it didn’t impact too much. Overall it was great, would thoroughly recommend.

  Thank-you for your comments and sorry for any difficulties . We've checked out the Superfast Broadband wifi. We have not had any issue with this in the past and it appears to be working perfectly at a high speed. The TV also appears to be working well. We have Freeview which offers all the main channels.

  We had a really enjoyable stay: The cottage was in an ideal location for walking and touring. The only slight downsides were the creaky landing floorboards and the toilet sometimes took a while to flush! Middleham has a useful shop for groceries, and a few pubs: All within easy walking distance.

  Chocolate Factory in Leyburn a must visit. Only downside was the extremely noise fan in the bathroom, apart from this a lovely cottage. The only reason we put “No” to going back is we never do as we like to visit different places each holiday. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

  The only reason I wouldn't book again is because I never go to the same place again, and would rather explore somewhere slightly different next time.
