What our customers say about their holidays

• Mr Head - Verified booking

  Very well equipped modern accommodation with (almost) everything you need. The bedroom is very spacious with a nice comfortable bed. The bathroom is a good size and the underfloor heating adds a luxurious touch. The living space downstairs is very good with plenty of room and the kitchen has lots of storage (which is not normally the case with holiday cottages) as well as plenty of prep areas. There are some user manuals for some of the kitchen appliances, but it wasn't obvious as to where these are kept. We found them after searching all the cupboards/drawers. Also, the recycling instructions don't match what is available, but we separated everything as best we could. When it is a clear night the sky is amazing, but the lack of comfortable outdoor seating and a fire pit/chimenea means you get a cold, stiff neck looking up. This might be different in the middle of summer. Parking directly outside the barn entrance was helpful as suitcases with wheels need to be carried across the loose stone/gravel path. Also, it can be very difficult to turn round a large SUV.

  Fantastic break, East Calvert House is exactly as described, spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped. Everything you need has been thought of to a high standard, including fire safety , nothing spared. You can just bring yourself, relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. Loved sitting on the front patio taking in the beautiful views, had lovely walks with our dogs alongside the roaming sheep right from the doorstep. Enjoyed great food at the local friendly pub, the Kings Head, explored nearby Richmond, Castle and museums. The first journey to the cottage was a bit daunting up the track but easy once we had done it once. As our old car was up to the challenge we also enjoyed a meal at the highest pub in the British isles The Tan Hill Inn ,less than 30 minutes drive . Wish we had had more time to explore so much more the area had to offer. I highly recommend using Original Cottages, great communication & instructions.

  Bit of a disappointment on arrival late afternoon after a very long journey to find the house cold - thermostat set to 16 - and no starter kit of logs/ kindling.

  The log burner in the kitchen/diner appeared to be out of order with the cord door liner detached and lying loose. A warning note should have been left - rang the caretaker who confirmed it should not be used. He also said a bag of logs would be left for us the following morning for the fire in the sitting room - which they were. House took a while to warm up but after this misstep everything was great. The house is very well kitted out with super comfy beds and a really excellent sofa. All the kitchen equipment is good and the layout of the kitchen/diner makes for companionable cooking and chatting. The walks right from the doorstep are fabulous and we were lucky to be there when the newly reopened pub had just started providing food - the tea shop is also excellent. The house provided a fabulous base for exploring beautiful Swaledale and we were fortunate to experience the wonders of the Northern Lights while we were there.

  It was great.

  The only noticeable area of improvement is that when we have stayed in other Sykes cottages there has been a bottle of milk in the fridge. Luckily it was a time and day when the village shop was open,, but some milk would be good. Other properties have even provided a bottle of wine. The sachets of coffee provided had a Use By Date that was about 8 or 9 months old. Also some shampoo:shower gel would be useful. That said everything g else was fine. It was good to have washing machine and dishwasher and everything worked. Beds and bedding were excellent. The description on the website is silent on the garden, but should probably say that there isn’t one. It is also slightly misleading about the parking, which is a very narrow headstand jutting out into the road so if you have a large or wide car you may need to park in the public parking (£15 per week).

  A wonderful stay at wayside farm cottage in muker, a well equipped and very comfortable stay in a beautiful village in the dales.

  Wonderful walks incredibly close by, falling asleep to the sound of the waterfall outside the cottage, incredible internet speed if you wanting to connect or work while away, great for any family plenty of rooms to put your feet up after a long walk or out in the dales and catch up on your favourite tv show. great working washing/dryer and dishwasher to help your stay be as laid back as possible. we happened to leave an item behind and contacted the owner who was incredibly kind and send our item immediately back the next day, thank you Chris and thanks for a wonderful stay! highly recommend and look forward to staying again very soon.
