  A lovely holiday home that was sadly spoilt due to an infestation of fly's and bugs.

  100's and 100's of them on all upper floors where two bedrooms are, full evidence was supplied and the property owners son visited the home to confirm how bad it was. I have contacted both Sykes and the property owner for a partial refund and was informed that no compensation would be paid, despite me paying £4k for a 3 night stay. Later this week I will be placing a chargeback via my bank for the full £4k and I would recommend anyone else in the same situation does this too, all I have asked for is a £500 partial refund which I felt was very reasonable under the circumstances. Once the charge back is made and I have received the full £4k refund Sykes or the property owner (Not sure who loses out) can take me to court if they wish to fight this further, silly that they have forced me to do this as this could have been resolved with a £500 partial refund.

  Beautiful house.

  Fabulous decor throughout. We loved staying there and very close to our friends that live near by. Property was very spacious and clean. Very quirky. Beds were super comfortable. Bathroom was huge and loved the shower. Private parking in gated courtyard kept cars safe. Owners restaurant across the road is superb. Portions were huge. Few things that would’ve improved our stay would have been a downstairs toilet instead of having to go upstairs, another tv perhaps in the kitchen/conservatory so the oldies can watch one while the teens watched something else and a couple of items that I missed in the kitchen was a potato peeler and a potato masher. These would have improved our stay but it was still excellent and we will not hesitate to return again.

  As a group of friends we tend to book a cottage close to Christmas for a pre get together.

  This one was convenient as it was closer than our usual destinations. It most certainly did not disappoint. From the very off the owner was very attention, nothing was too much trouble for him. He went above and beyond to make all 6 of us feel comfortable. The house was immaculate and very well equipped with all the mod cons. The log fire was great given how cold it is in December. The beds were extremely comfortable. The area is nice, quiet and relaxing. There is an Italian restaurant over the road which I would highly recommend. La anchor. Overall I cannot complain about absolutely anything. We’ve had a wonderful time and most certainly will love to return. Thank you to the owners for the personal touches. This place is a hidden gem.

  Not as quiet as we were hoping.

  Road noise through the village and unfortunately the people in Thistle next door were quite noisy. Heating was uncontrollable and it was very hot which made it a bit uncomfortable. Couldn’t get the hob to work despite following the instructions. Great base for exploring York and Selby with the bus stop for both just outside the front door. Great enclosed garden for the dog which made it safe. Onsite parking which is also a bonus. Good WiFi if you need it. The furniture was comfortable and the kitchen equipped with everything you need. Great welcome pack as well. Just disappointing about the noise levels.

  We stayed in September 2023 for four nights.

  The cottage was large and well laid out with four good sized bedrooms an plenty of seating in the lounge. There are a number of steps inside the property so perhaps not so suitable for the less able. However ideal for our stay. Lovely conservatory attached to the kitchen provides a great additional socialising area. Well fitted kitchen with good fridge freezer made it easy to cater for ourselves when we wanted to although would benefit from a coffee machine. Excellent meal at owners' nearby restaurant - La Anchor and a number of local country pubs nearby.
