Honeybee Cottage

Lovely little cottage, very comfortable.

Lovely little end terrace cottage in a quiet location just outside of Ripon but walking distance into town.

Comfortable accommodation with good facilities and a useful welcome pack. Very comfy bed and good shower. Kitchen well equipped. House overlooks fields and the river. Perfect place to stay and explore the local area.

Had a lovely week in Honeybee Cottage, clean, well equipped, comfortable and quiet.

Plenty to enjoy in and around Ripon. The reclining seats in the lounge were a pleasant surprise, just what you wanted after a long day. Recommend a visit, great for dogs as well.

A well kept, clean and inviting property.

There was a small furnished patio at the front to sit and enjoy the view and, luckily for us, some sunny weather. We did receive a lovely welcome pack, too. The location we beautiful - surrounded by so much green with easy access to open spaces to walk the dog. Parking for 2 cars was a bonus.

Very pleasantly surprised on arrival at Honeybee Cottage.

It was thoroughly clean, well equipped, warm, and comfortable. We enjoyed touring around the area, bought interesting bits and pieces at the big Saturday car boot sale in Bedale, but be warned, go early, and visited Harogate, Masham, and toured around the magnificent dales. How ever we enjoyed resting up in the peacful environment of the cottage. We ate out in the Water Rat pub in Ripon and also the take out fish and chips place opposite is good. Ripon has plenty to do and see. Well worth the visit. Wish we had booked longer. Steve Morgan, Galway Ireland

We really liked Honeybee Cottage.

It was clean and very cosy. We felt very much at home there. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The landlady had also left some treats for us. We can really recommend Honeybee Cottage.

I stayed at Honeybee Cottage with my parents while visiting friends in the area.

We thought Honeybee Cottage was beautiful and everything we could possibly have wanted. It was warm, comfortable and very homely with beautiful views. The welcome pack was extremely welcome and was definitely the best I have ever received. I would absolutely book again and would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in or near Ripon.

Honeybee cottage is a perfect place to stay and explore Ripon and the surrounding area.

The welcome pack is so thoughtful and the best we’ve ever experienced (far better than the standard bottle of wine). The cottage is clean and very comfortable and only a 20 minute walk into the town centre. We stayed in early March but I’m sure the seating area overlooking the field opposite would be great on a summer’s evening. The only thing to note is parking is a little tight as you share the drive with next door but nethertheless it was great to have parking. We would definitely stay here again in the future

Booked this cottage on the morning I needed to go!

Arrived to find the cottage was beautifully prepared ready for our arrival. Fresh bread, milk and cakes was most welcome. Within minutes we enjoyed a cup of tea. Able to comfortably park our car off the road. Enjoyed an owl hooting

Beautiful house, on a quiet country lane but just a few minutes walk into Ripon.

Lovely views across the fields. The house was warm and comfortable and is probably the best equipped holiday homes we've ever stayed in - there was nothing we needed that wasn't privided. Lovely welcome pack which included some dog treats. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend. We will definitely book again, thank you.

Honeybee cottage is lovely.

We stayed over New Year when the weather turned extremely cold and being able to come back to this warm and cozy little cottage was brilliant. Logs and kindling to make up the fire were also left for us. The view across the fields is gorgeous. I have to mention the welcome pack which was one of the best we've ever received.

Lovely, warm, cosy cottage in a great location in a lovely town.

Very comfortable. Fab shower.

VERY CLEAN DOG FRIENDLY NICE AND QUIET YOU COULD HEAR THE OWL IF YOU WAS OUTSIDE MY WIFE LOVED HEARING IT NICE BIG TV AND NETFLIX WHICH WAS REALLY NICE VERY NEAR TO RIPON CITY TREATS LEFT FOR US AND ALSO FOR BERTIE OUR DOG LOVELY WARM HOMELY COTTAGE MANY THANKS FOR A LOVELY STAY SUE LES AND BERTIE.

Outstanding property.

Spotless, a fantastic welcome with the goodies left out for us. Honeybee cottage has everything you need for your stay. Extremely comfortable beds. Amazing shower. Fully equipped kitchen. We would highly recommend this property for your next visit to Yorkshire.

Great place ,nice feel about it ,welcome pack was lovely touch, nice view to front ,easy walk in to Ripon , great location, all in all very good ,now then this is not a complaint at all but and nothing to do with the owner's .

(I hate it when people do that) property is in front off a industrial estate but there is a bit off noise from that from 8am till 6pm weekdays from a pump that permanently squeaks and heavy lorries . One other review said parking you could,only get small car in the spot there is plenty of space ,next door had big 4x4 and,we got a big turbo estate car no problem getting them in if you can reverse properly ,all in all very nice time was had , lots to see and to do even in winter .great cafes , Ripon.and York well worth a visit .good walks for our dog jasper but we think Thirsk was closed for the winter .we would come again .

What a gem!

From driving down the quiet leafy lane to walking into this elevated cottage you feel a sense of calm and relaxation. Lovely views across fields, cosy comfortable furniture, smart television and well equipped kitchen. Already recommended to friends.

An enjoyable stay, ideal for walking in to the City and visiting local places of interest.

The accommodation was very comfortable and clean. Very quiet area.

A lovely cosy cottage for our 3 night stay.

Thank you for the welcome tray, comfy beds and the cottage is in a quiet area of Ripon about 20 minute walk from the centre of the city.

A fantastic cottage,spotlessly clean and well maintained.

The welcome “goodies “were absolutely lovely. We only stayed for the weekend and the weather wasn’t brilliant but we were comfortable in the cottage and it suited our little dog,an area outside to stretch her legs and some wonderful areas for her to have a good run about. This cottage was the best we have stayed in.

Lovely holiday cottage.

Loved all the surprise ‘little extras’ which made us feel extremely welcome. Luna the dog loved the walk and her daily dip in the river! Central location to explore. Thank you so much!

Beautifully decorated and furnished.

Clean and comfortable. Stunning view and great location. Top notch!

Everything was lovely.

Clean well maintained.

Loved this cottage.

Cosy, comfortable. lovely, quiet location. Short walk to town centre. Perfectly decorated. Very comfortable beds. Cracking bathroom. Well equipped kitchen. Cannot fault it and would definitely stay there again.

Superb cottage in a great location Easy walk into Ripon and plenty of access to the river Ure for dog walking

Arrived to a welcome pack for a staycation at Honeybee which is a beautiful place to spend a week.

The cottage was spotless and everything was as described on the Sykes website.Set within walking distance of Ripon and.many places to visit you cannot visit them all in one week so i think we will be back.Once again Vicky thank you for allowing us to visit your cottage

This was our 3rd stay at this lovely cottage and once again didn't disappoint great area comfortable and quiet location good walks with our dog we were left a lovely welcome pack thank you can't wait to come back

Beautiful little cottage in a great location.

Spotlessly clean and very comfortable, a real home from home. And the welcome pack was just fantastic. Really quiet and peaceful location, but just a short walk into Ripon where you have all the facilities you could want. Owners were really helpful with just the right amount of contact. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful cottage with many extras and lovely welcome package.

So comfortable and cosy just didn’t want to leave!

Beautiful and comfortable cottage with thoughtful extra touches.

Truly a home from home.

A wonderful place to stay, We would definitely recommend this cottage to family and friends

Well Equipped!

! It’s like Home away from home!! Neighbors weren’t friendly, we felt like we were intruders?! Washer is okay, wish there was a drying function to fluff up the laundry! Kitchen clock, battery is dead, not a big deal! Flies (live and dead ones) in the smaller bedroom, couldn’t figure out how they got in?? Will return again in the future!! Thank you

A very attractive property, extremely well maintained and equipped, with a high standard of cleanliness and providing very comfortable accommodation .

It’s central location made it an excellent centre for touring the surrounding countryside and local historic sites.

had a lovely stay at this fantastic cottage good area peaceful and quiet but not to far from the town centre the cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay left the car parked up all week and just explored the area great walks and then coming back to outside garden with a nice drink and relaxing .

lovely bed had great nights sleep thankyou so much for the welcome pack well thought out would definetly love to stay again

We liked the seating in the front garden.

the gardens were fenced off for our dog.parking was easy.the settee was very comfatouble. We really enjoyed our 4 night stay Would Highley recommend the cottage.

Perfect location, spotlessly clean with all the facilities required and more.

Very welcoming, lovely peaceful views from front garden.

Lovely homely cottage.

Has everything you would need. Nice surprise welcome pack. Some nice country walks an ideal place to stay to visit the surrounding areas.

Lovely cosy cottage.

Ideal location, as I could leave my car on the drive & walk into Ripon, and then go on bus to various places. Also some good walks from the property. Comfortable bed & loved the excellent TV package. Appreciated the welcome pack and how clean the property was too. Thank you Vicky, I really enjoyed my stay in your gorgeous cottage

A lovely cottage.

Very clean and well equipped. In a lovely area for walking and sightseeing. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. Vicky extremely helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay again. TV package was brilliant.

This was probably the cleanest cottage we've ever stayed in and considering the number we've been to that's saying a lot!

Vicky had left us some very nice goodies so thanks for that. The location is good for walking into Ripon and excellent for driving elsewhere. For us the only downside to Honeybee Cottage is the very steep driveway that you share with your neighbours so it gets our recommendation.

Wonderful place to stay with everything you need.

Great location. Vicky the owner is on top of everything.

A real "Home from Home".

From when we walked in the door it felt like we were at home. It was a beautifully decorated and appointed cottage, with everything you would been for a stay away from home. This included a wonderful welcome pack, that thought had clearly gone into. The great experience did not stop on departure.. I left something behind in the cottage and the owners went above and beyond to ensure I got it back, in a timely manner. So I do not have any recommendations for improvement, but would like to say a massive Thank You !!

Honeybee is a delightful cottage in a lovely location overlooking the River Ure.

The cottage is warm and welcoming with lovely touches relating to its name. The kitchen is well equipped with appliances which are straightforward to use and the lounge is very comfortable. The bedrooms are tastefully furnished and the bathroom has a good sized shower. Great parking outside the house. We enjoyed the easy walk into Ripon and the interesting walks which we were able to do from the door. We will definitely return to this cottage.

Honeybee Cottage was the perfect haven while we moved house.

Beautifully clean and it was well stocked with everything you could need to make the stay easy and very comfortable.The welcome pack was a wonderful surprise too, great after a long journey it set you up with a nice cup of tea and snack. The home owner Vicky was really helpful and accommodating and we were really grateful for the text reminder for the refuse calendar over Christmas, it was great to see a house manual with such good instructions included too, no scratching your head wondering how anything worked. The cottage is in a great location overlooking the River Ure with a good walk in to town. Ripon itself has easy access to all routes and well covered on the shopping front. Booths supermarket is a particular treat and there are some lovely small independent shops. The Cathedral is glorious and further afield The Druids Temple was surrounded by great woodland walks and views out over the surrounding countryside. I wish we had had more time in better weather to explore further as the cottage make a great base to head out from but we’ll have to leave that for another time.

Honeybee cottage is a cosy, clean and very comfortable house.

Messages from the owner were really clear and it was easy to find. The extra touches like a tray of goodies on arrival, coffee pods, milk in the fridge and logs for the fire absolutely made it for us.

Beautifully presented cottage, very well equipped, everything you could need, even bowls for the dog.

Very comfortable beds, sofas and chairs. Even though the weather was very cold, we were very warm and cosy. Lots of information re the house itself and places to visit. We will certainly visit again. Linda and Michael

My 2nd stay at Honeybee Cottage.

Even better than the first. So comfortable, everything you would need supplied. Lots of generous, thoughtful touches. 100% recommend highly. Thank you.

It’s the second time we have stayed at Honeybee cottage .

The location is excellent and the cottage is beautiful. It has everything you could need . The lovely welcome pack was greatly appreciated.

Honeybee Cottage was one of the nicest properties we have stayed in.

It was very clean and comfortable as well as being close to the town of Ripon (only a 20min walk) but with the feeling of being in the country. Vicky was a great host who ensured the property contained everything needed to ensure we had a great stay. (We are on holidays from Australia and it felt like a home away from home and we very much appreciated her welcome package).

Beautifully presented, comfortable cottage in a lovely, quiet location.

Everything we needed was there, as well as a thoughtful welcome pack. Would certainly recommend.

Lovely welcome basket.

Excellent dog walk in the field at the end of the road. Easy walk in to Ripon and a good base for the area.

Lovely cottage in a good location quality fittings and everything you need.

Would come again

This Cottage had everything we needed Comfort, private, great location, about 20min walk into town centre.

Nice walks for ourselves & our dog. Nothing Negative at all to say. I will definatly recommend & be returning ourselves.

Loved this cottage was small but lovely and big enough for us as a couple with one dog.

Parking was great. It is outside of town but we wanted quiet and it definitely was quiet. Also great for countryside walks.

Very well equipped cottage and in a quiet place, nice view from the front room.

We enjoyed our stay very much. We were there without a car, walking from and to the town centre takes about 20 minutes, so manageable. We went on excursions to Harrogate, Knaresborough and Fountain's Abbey by bus, but also went on walks around Ripon, which is a pleasant town, inhabited by pleasant people.

Very comfortable cottage, only things missing were a local information pack and instructions on what can go into recycling bin.

Very pleasant stay in an excellent location for touring and walking.

Lovely cottage with everything we needed provided.

Even an unexpected welcome pack. Location was perfect for visiting various places nearby.

The property has a shared back yard with the adjoining neighbours perhaps this should be on the property details when booking, We felt uncomfortable with this as the neighbours seemed resentful of our presence.

The drive is difficult for two cars as you have to park very near to the house which makes it hard for the driver to get out. The second bedroom has no clothes hanging facilities or mirror which would be ok for one night but we had four. The view from the location is lovely over the fields and it very quiet with just a few dog walkers passing.

Lovely very well equipped cottage and super welcome pack.

No mirror in second bedroom - I suggested to host a mirror in the second bedroom would be beneficial to which they thanked me for the suggestion and said they would put a mirror in the second bedroom.

A very comfortable cottage finished to a high standard, situated in a tranquil location on the outskirts of Ripon, ideally situated for exploring the dales.

Honeybee cottage was everything it said it would be and more.

The cottage was so well maintained and cosy. With so much attention to detail. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend this cottage and would stay here again just for the peace and quiet.

The cottage was lovely with a nice little enclosed space at the front with views across the fields.

Easy parking. The decor was good with good quality furniture etc. It was an easy walk into town where there are lots of shops and cafes. There would have been lots of walks along the river had the weather been better. We had 3 friends round for lunch one day. It was a bit squashed but we managed and there were plenty of dishes, plates etc. We would highly recommend this cottage

Beautiful little house, ideal for a couple or a young family nicely equipped kitchen.

Perfect location away from any hustle or bustle amazing view, but within easy reach of the town.

Stayed March 6/9 th .

Lovely cottage very clean and homely. Very well equipped. We had a lovely time . And would stay again

Honeybee cottage was warm and very comfy and well equipped.

Very good location 15 minute walk into the centre of Ripon. The host , Vicky, was contactable and friendly and the welcome treats were a nice surprise. Would recommend it to anyone.

Brilliant owner.

Great communications. Property exceeded my expectations in every way. So comfortable.Every detail picked out by a careful hand. I would rebook without hesitation.

A lovely cottage that has been very thoughtfully furnished and equipped to provide a comforting home from home feel.

The location is very central to easily access some of the major cities and attractions that this area has to offer. The owner kindly provided a welcome pack on arrival and any queries or issues were responded to very quickly. I would not hesitate to recommend Honeybee cottage as a wonderful holiday home to visit.

Very comfortable and clean and with the added bonus of being left some treats.

Great location and would definitely stay again.

The property is lovely and has a lovely view.

The kitchen is very small and the bench at the table caused many stubbed toes. Perhaps a small stool for a third seat at the table would help with that. It would have been useful to let us know that the key safe was at the back of the property as it was dark when we arrived. No details about rubbish and recycling were left for us. Always happy to recycle if instructions left. The parking is on a very steep slope. It was a little difficult to get out of the car on the drive. There is parking on the road but a bit of a squeeze. Location is good. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Fantastic and tastefully furnished accommodation.

Great location and would certainly revisit and recommend

We had a lovely stay at Honeybee cottage .

It was in an excellent location fir exploring the surrounding area .Vicky, replied very quickly to any queries, she was extremely helpful . We had a lovely hamper waiting for us and a box of treats for the dog too ! Hope we get to visit again .
