What our customers say about their holidays

• Mr Brenton - Verified booking

  The good: - Great location for Malham and the Pennine Way - Lots of space in living areas and two of the bedrooms - Clean The bad: - Lacking some basics (scissors in the kitchen; saucepans big enough to cook basics for 4) - Very small and compromised bathrooms - In poor state of repair in places (large glass shower door held on with silicone, and fell off; bad smell from drains; TVs in bedrooms not working) - Layout of outdoor space leads to a total lack of privacy in garden (which is shared with the neighbouring cottage). For example, the Hot Tub is placed just a few feet from the one belonging to the neighbouring cottage, meaning no privacy if the neighbours use theirs at the same time. (Especially so if you have neighbours who spend their time smoking, drinking, swearing, shouting and arguing in the hot tub!) We eventually cut our stay short and came home a day early. The owner did offer a partial refund, reflecting some of these issues, but this has never materialised and he has since stopped answering messages asking him to honour his promises.

  Lovely apartment with great views.

  Would be a 5-star listing if it were not for maintenance issues and lack of instructions. Toilet seats were loose, the lobby toilet the seat came off in our hands. Bedside cabinet draws falling out. The shower flip door was very stiff so much so that it was moving the main glass panel and felt dangerous. The extractor fan remote control not working assuming flat batteries, same with the hall ceiling blinds. Tried to download the Control S app but an access code was required we did work out how to work the system. Sykes should have a system for people to report faults as it seems most people don't tell the owners of faults. A simple book in the apartment to report faults too. We were there for a short weekend break, so full instructions save us wasting time trying to work out how things work!

• Mr Malcolm Stones - Verified booking

  Location was beautiful, with great views and lots of local walks. It is remote, so a car is required for days out, and the local roads are often single track with passing places. The accommodation was a bit cramped for five adults. Three bath / shower rooms have been squeezed in, but the layouts are poor. One shower room is tiny, and to get to the basin in the main bathroom you have to squeeze through a gap between the bath and the toilet. Small changes would make a difference such as bins and mirrors in each of the bedrooms. Kitchen was well equipped, but we did have issues with the microwave (blew up and had to be replaced!) and the electricity tripping and being unable to find the fuse box. We added a note to the info folder for future holiday makers.

  From the moment we booked everything exceeded our expectations.

  Simon's communication was excellent and he very kindly agreed to a request for a special occasion. Once we arrived there was a little surprise waiting for us to help celebrate. The apartment was beautifully clean and even nicer than the photographs. The views are gorgeous and the only thing that got us out of the extremely comfortable beds! We had fabulous weather and took full advantage of the amazing balcony and the fans in the bedrooms were much appreciated. There is everything you need including very clear instructions for access and a lift to the 3rd floor. We are going to make a return booking and can not recommend this apartment highly enough. After a tough year all round it was exactly what we needed, Thank you.

• Caroline - Verified booking

  Super location with walks along the Aire and the Leeds Liverpool close by, and Skipton and points north and the Aire Valley easily accessible by car and the excellent train service.

  The property itself was adequately equipped (though the light and sound system was slightly complex for us oldies!) and we appreciated the fresh flowers and welcome bottle! The listing itself didn’t quite do the property justice - for example why no mention of the lift the existence of which we discovered by reading previous reviews? And a little more info about the local area, where to buy petrol, a newspaper, foodie treats etc (the Coop at the roundabout at Crosshills just down the road for the former and where there is a great fish and chip shop, and the Keelham farm shop on the edge of Skipton for the latter) would be useful. Overall a great stay and we would go back again if returning to the area
