  Sykes Staff have been nothing but friendly and accommodating, they were not to fault for our unsatisfactory stay.

  The property however had dust webs left in corners (despite cleaners) and offered no QR code/Covid guidelines, no antibacterial hand wash or sanitiser (good job we took our own). We were greeted by a wasps nest by the front door obviously using the property’s roof. The door with its large double glass windows offered no privacy from passers by using the shared drive and communal laundry room given the fact the shower and toilet were right behind it which resulted in us having to hang a towel over the door. The pictures of the garden were misleading. It clearly shows a grass area which had been cordoned off and belonged to another property which only left the stoned area you see in the pictures which would have been fantastic if it weren’t for the fact they are not friendly to the paws of our fury friends which meant our pet friendly get away wasn’t in fact so pet friendly at all and his off lead play time went out the window. The directions to the property are not clear, even using ‘what four words’ we had difficulty. In the end we were forced to contact Sykes which then had to contact the owners who added another couple of steps to the directions. Frankly if it weren’t for the fact we had to rely on a family member for travel and our signal was so spotty we never would have stayed.

  Oak Tree Barn was absolutely lovely, not only is it in a great location it is a great place to stay.

  Our first impression of “this is fantastic” stayed with us throughout. From the well stocked kitchen to the wonderful cosy living room and comfortable very clean bedrooms. This really is a home from home. We were welcomed with a lovely gift hamper that was quite personal. Chris the owner obviously checks who will be staying for the week. We even had welcome text upon arrival. It is the little touches that make a difference. I can also see in colder weather the house would be very warm, with lots of heating and a wood fire stove in the sunroom. As stated this location is perfect to explore the Yorkshire Moors and beyond. Thornton le Dale has great amenities which is a very easy walk. With larger places such as Pickering and Malton a short drive. We have every intention of returning.

  We’ve just got back from a short break at the nook.

  It was absolutely perfect from start to finish. We received a lovely welcome from the owners. Upon entry in to the cottage we were left a very thoughtful welcome pack. The cottage is absolutely as the photos show, it’s a small one bed that is immaculately presented. The owners have thought of everything. It’s situated just outside of Glaisdale in a remote valley. Walks and cycle routes on the door step, but only 25 minutes into Whitby. The grounds are amazing and perfect if you have a dog, they can have a good run in the “paddock”. We thoroughly enjoyed our short break and will be sure to return!

  A wonderfully relaxing break in the quiet village of Swinton in the Howardian Hills.

  Stayed here for two weeks as refugees from a kitchen refit and enjoyed it immensely. Rob & Claire were perfect hosts and gave us several useful tips on enjoying the area. The Bothy is a comfortable barn conversion style cottage, smart, comfortable, well equipped and easy to stay in. We had our dog with us and she enjoyed it too, making good friends with Rob & Claires Spaniel. Highly recommend this place for the lovely area ( Castle Howard & Ampleforth nearby & East Coast only 20 mins away with the North York Moors on the doorstep) and the peace and quiet. We would certainly come back here again.

  We really loved our stay in this little cottage, the cottage has been finished to a high level with comfortable furniture.

  It is in a great location to relax for a long weekend. We enjoyed dinner at the nearby Pheasant Hotel and walks along the river to Nunnington and chilled in the yard in front of the cottage. A couple of things that could be improved... the check-in and check-out times are not great, 6 pm check-in is very late. The dining table is not very usable and it would be great to be able to use some of the gardens of Holly Cottage as sitting in the sun on a bench is not the same as a bit of soft grass. But overall a great experience with some small improvements to make the stay even better.
