  So I wish I could include photos here as you would never stay in this cottage and unlikely to stay in a Sykes accommodation again.

  You needed a 4x4 to travel up the drive my car bottomed out several times with the potholes. Outside lights not working couldn’t see a thing, slippery decking slope couldn’t see key safe ridiculous. First initial impressions when entering were very positive, nice space and well laid out.and a welcome food pack Then… handle on the kitchen cupboard fell off, I noticed the floor kick board was kicked in. So the en-suite bathroom, the toilet was dirty,, I mean black stains and residue on the toilet seat, there was mould all over shower tray, water would not drain and after inspection found full of hair, shower glass filthy, shower extractor fan seemed poor under inspection clogged with dust. Main bathroom, the bath panel was kicked in, skirting rotted with damp, chrome filthy. Bedroom 3 with two singles, we used a cot, but both beds had broken slats so fell through when sat on them to dress the baby. I have phots of all this. Asked owner for assistance with outside lighting as it was dangerous his comment still on my phone was, “we had the opposite our lights on all night”,not what I wanted to hear. He came round and asked if all good with the property, it was New Year’s Eve and rather than cause a scene as I was so angry and upset and not in the best of moods and my partner didn’t want me to have a confrontation with him so I said all Ok, I wish I had shown him round I’m sure he would not have believed his eyes. Contacted Sykes sent them the photos, thought there might be compensation, a written apology. What a joke……… i

  The cottage was extremely cold , heating not set right , we turned it on it took over 4 hours to warm up , apart from this it was a cute little cottage ideal for two .

  nice little extra touches like electric blankets on bed to take of the chill , fluffy blanket to snuggle in really useful . could of had a few extra things in kitchen like a large pot for cooking , colder for straining , wooden spoon and measuring jug for us keen cooks . like the other little touches in kitchen , tin foil for backing very handy all though I did not use it , many times I do a roast dinner so was nice to have this option . the door was extreamly difficult to undo , this was mentioned by other guest in the comments book , so this should be addresses . we loved the very comfy bed , even though it was of a main street it was tucked away enough as not to be noisey . we love Yorkshire , this is about our fourteenth trip and would diffently return to the old forge . there was a nice welcome basket with tea bags , coffee , sugar , bread ect . milk in fridge brilliant could have a cup of tea before stocking up on provision for the week .

  Lovely clean lodge, with good quality funiture and equipment.

  Great welcome pack including a bottle of wine which was much appreciated, as were some wonderful fresh raspberries delivered on arrival. The two bathrooms were ideal for us as a family of adults, lashings of lovely hot water, so all could shower and bath as required. Lots of magazines and games for use if the weather wasn't good. Very well eqipped with washing mashine, dishwasher, microwave, smart TV and Wi Fi, although it would have been useful to have some instructions on how to use the equipment, the cooker took me some time to work out how to use it as I have never used an electric cooker. We had a very comfortable stay, which was excellent value for the facilities on offer. The beds were a little too soft for us as we like a firm mattress, but that is a personal preference. We would happily book a stay here again.

  Lara the owner greeted us on arrival and gave us all the info about this lovely cottage also about the area including the local pubs/post office/Indian restaurant and chip shop all within easy walking distance from the cottage.

  The White bear pub is the place to go for food plus you can take your dog into the bar area. There was fresh milk in the fridge plus in a small hamper there was tea/coffee and chocolate biscuits and leaflets with info about the local area even our small dog molly had a dogs bowl with treats. This lovely cottage had everything that you have at home even heated bed blankets for the chilly evenings. We were about an hour into our 4 hour journey home when my mobile rang it was Lara we had left a bag behind which contained our iPads plus other items so Lara very kindly sent them to us via parcel post. I would highly recommend this lovely private cottage to anyone. Thank you once again Lara for everything. Kind regards Mike,Jackie & Molly

  We had a lovely stay at The Old Forge.

  We arrived to a very cosy and welcoming cottage which had everything we needed for a short break with our dog, Summer. Lara was very helpful and contacted us soon after our arrival to check that we were happy with everything. We appreciated her nice touches like the welcome hamper and vases of spring flowers in the rooms. As we were only staying for two nights and spending our time exploring the area we treated ourselves to a fish and chip supper from Stillington Fisheries and takeaway curry from the Gulshan Tandoori, which were both only a short walk away and definitely worth a try. Stillington is a nice village and is well located for visiting lovely places like nearby Helmsley and the Yorkshire coast.
