  Incredibly relaxing.

  .. Extremely spacious , yet cosy ! This property exceeded our expectations. We knew it would be big but it was far larger than expected, especially the master bedroom .. which was amazing. The property and surroundings were simply stunning and tranquil. A wonderful place for a family get together. In our case it was to host my 50th birthday ! Three sets of adults and a couple and grandchildren for the weekend and then my partner and I for the rest of the week .. it was just perfect and suited us all. The log burning fire and the large outdoor hot tub provided many relaxing nights after long walks in fresh weather ( December 2018 ) ... Family meals around the large dining table in the beautiful open kitchen, cooking on the aga was also an experience. Enough bedrooms to host us all too. And a games room for the children to play. The owners left a lovely welcome pack, a starter kit for the fire and the lovely little touches around the property made our stay comfortable and welcoming. Felt like we were in the middle of nowhere with stunning views and animals surrounding .. but only a few miles drive to the nearest supermarket or pub. York is not too far to visit and is also stunning with its Cathedral, shops, places to eat and drink , and beautiful old streets ( The Shambles ) . We had an amazing time and hope we are fortunate to go back in the not too distant future

  We have just come back from a weeks stay at Stubbs grange.

  Our party was made up of 4 adults and 3 children under 5, And We all had the best time, The house exceeded our hopes, plenty for the children to do from admiring the animals on the surrounding land and playing in the garden, to just playing in the house exploring. The kitchen was fabulous and a delight to cook in. And there was plenty of space all round the house to not get in the way of each other. Michelle the owner was on hand for any questions (though not needed as the welcome pack had plentiful answers) but she was also very kind to provide us with more logs (for a charge of corse) but also gave us fresh eggs from her hens (made some scrummy omelettes) I can’t recommend the place enough, the perfect get away from busy life and just relaxing with a view of fields and animals ❤️❤️ Thanks to the owners for a great week! We visited digger land whilst there which was a lot of fun for the kids and adults so would recommend if you’re visiting with children as it’s only a short drive.

  I stayed at Stubbs Grange barn with 5 other ladies last weekend and we had an absolutely brilliant time from start to finish.

  The owners couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful and we appreciated the show-around tour on arrival which was really helpful for getting our bearings and seeing how everything worked. The house itself was spotless and beautifully decorated, we were all wowed. The setting is gorgeous and feels like a real country retreat but shops, pubs etc are all within easy reach. The hot tub especially was great, we loved how it was undercover and sheltered from the elements and the artificial grass meant no muddy feet when getting in and out! We all said we would love to return and experience the house in summer and make the most of the lovely summerhouse and taking in the views on a summer evening. The house is very well equipped and despite none of us having agas in our own homes we soon figured out the one in the kitchen which is amazing for pizzas! The only extra thing we would have appreciated would be a hairdryer for after the hot tub. Overall a stunning property which I would recommend to anyone

  Hot tub was not to temperature.

  Dvd player did not work. Fridge smelt like off milk. Arga was substandard and did not cook food well. Light switch in kitchen broken. Not enough hot water for 8 guests. Only left 3 dish washing tablets, for 3 nights for eight guests - then deducted £40 in bond when house was left "messy". Did not communicate with client that £40 of bond was being deducted, client had to reach out to check why. Private road upto property has multiple pot hols, causing damage to 1 car. We are eight girls in our 30s, we hire a property every year off Sykes Cottages. We have never had issues with Bonds not being returned before. We feel the property should advertise to family's if they do not like to hire to same sex young clients. Also I feel if money is being deducted it is the responsibility of the property owners to reach out to the client to info them, and explain reasons behind deductions. Not for client to see this on their bank statement.

  The property is set in a lovely location and is a very good size.

  When we have arrived the property was really dirty, no mattress protectors on the beds, no toilet brush/ cleaning, the hoover was full, mop is old style, not really cleaning but moving dirt around. We have contacted the owner and she was willing to come and clean, but we had personal reasons to not have anyone coming in. She was very responsive to all the comments, kindly brought us few extra bits we have asked and assured there will be a thorough clean after we leave. The hot tub is wonderful, back garden is comfortable and sheltered. The property needs wall paint refresh, few hooks on the doors and for the towels. But all these did not spoil our stay - make a difference when the owner is helpful and friendly.
