  Apartment 6 is FANTASTIC.

  It’s a wonderful and perfectly appointed apartment, in a stunningly beautiful (and secure) building. The pictures will give you a good idea of how lovely this place is - it really is as great as it looks - but in addition: Great communication from the owner - clear and timely instructions. The fittings and furnishings in the apartment are very high quality. It was literally spotlessly clean. The apartment is on the first floor, accessed via two wide flights of stairs in the extremely grand entrance hall. I am pretty sure there is a lift, but DO check this with the owner if this is important to you. We didn’t use any of the cooking facilities in the apartment as we ate out, but I would be confident it’s equipped with what you might need. The parking for two vehicles is at the front of the property, and clearly marked. It’s on flat gravel. The building entrance and parking is illuminated early dusk/dark and sensor lighting thereafter - you can see your car/s from the apartment. It’s very peaceful! It’s an easy 10/15 min walk into Ripon. We felt very safe in the area, even walking back fairly late at night. Loads of nice places to eat and drink in Ripon. It was quite busy, even mid-week. A large M&S Food is a short drive away, as is a Morrisons. We’ve been using cottages and apartments for short breaks for years, and this is by far the best place we have stayed. We’d love to go back - but it’s so lovely, we suspect it will never be available again!!!

  We had a wonderful holiday at Green End House.

  The house was exactly as pictured, spotlessly clean and there was so much space for us all. The cupboards full of games, books and dvds were brilliant for rainy days and the table tennis table was a huge hit. The bbq and hot tub were also much appreciated! The village was perfectly placed for some lovely days out at Brimham Rocks, Lightwater Valley and Thorpe Perrow. The local pub - just a five minute stroll from the house - was super friendly with tasty, reasonably priced food for all the family. Notes for the owner: We would have liked a working dvd player in the super comfy red room- we couldn't get the telly to work in there at all; instructions for how to work the dishwasher in the utility room (loaded it, then couldn't figure out how to turn it on!) and Mum says to mention that the en-suite door in the second bedroom doesn't stay shut. These are teeny tiny niggles - our holiday, and the house, were absolutely fantastic and we would love to return someday. Thank you so much for the beautiful house and all of the helpful information you left for us, we had a brilliant time.

  Beautiful building & a great location, close enough to the city to be convenient yet far enough away to be quiet.

  Private parking. The 2 bed apartment was spacious & modern & very well equipped. There was an iron but no board, no washing machine which we were aware of but there is a laundry service in the town centre. No hoover so guests can’t maintain the cleanliness. Guests are asked to strip the beds on leaving which is fine but what I did not expect to see was stained mattress protectors (although i believe that has been mentioned before!!) Also mentioned previously was the “Welcome Pack” Ours was a pint of milk!!!!! I believe there was a similar review re the welcome pack as well as the premium price tag. We also paid a premium for this apartment for a week in July , to say we were disappointed was an understatement. Usually we’ve been very fortunate with Sykes holiday rentals… Milk,Juice,Fruit,Jams,Biscuits,Beer,Wine & other local produce. We appreciate Sykes have no control of the above but there should at least be a minimum standard as some guests may not arrive until late in the evening.

  A stunning, spacious and comfortable large property in a lovely location.

  It provided a great base to celebrate my 50th birthday with family/friends. The kitchen is huge and has everything (and more) than you would need for a comfortable stay. The downstairs space includes three living areas providing plenty of space to spread out. Upstairs, are five good sized bedrooms. The master suite is just incredible- stylishly designed and cavernous. The table football and table tennis are fun additions and there are a plethora of games/DVDs to use. Good location nearby to Ripon and Thirsk and just a hop off the A1M1. There is also good cycling from the house on fairly flat/minor road and plenty of space to store bikes. Suzy the owner is fabulous, contacting you before and during your stay to make sure all is well. All in all a truly wonderful location/house to provide the backdrop for a get together and where special memories can be made. Highly recommended.

  We absolutely loved our stay at Apartment 6.

  The hosts were enormously helpful and quick to help out. The location, near Ripon was wonderful to explore- walking and driving. The house and apartment are of the highest quality, we agreed it was the most comfortable bed we had slept in for a long time. We stayed with two of our sons and could not think of anything that could have made our stay better. There are several residents who permanently reside in the house and they were friendly, welcoming and had great recommendations for local places to visit and eat. The original features of this building make this a special place to stay. We would definitely return if in the area.
