  The cottage is beautifully designed and Dan has done a fantastic job of not only saving an old building but making it really quite special.

  His passion for it's restoration may have been long, and perhaps difficult, but it is something of a work of art. From the beautifully neat exterior you enter a nicely presented reception area with a beautifully designed spiral staircase, all very cleverly fitted to make the most of the space and leading to the upstairs living area. The kitchen is contemporary with lovely, quality, wooden worktops, presumably all locally made. We love cooking and it was fantastic to find every possible utensil (except one!) available and we thoroughly enjoyed working there as much as we enjoyed relaxing in the sitting room. And talking of relaxing, the bath, and bathroom, are wonderful too - warm and welcoming and plenty of towels and even flannels. The bed is amazingly comfortable, only a double but allowing plenty of space around it so you don't feel hemmed in. The garden is lovely and compact with a couple of seating areas perfect for catching the sun and keeping out of the breeze, whilst giving a bit of privacy. I was especially impressed with the clever design and spacing of the hedging - who's idea was that?! It works so well in what is quite a compact space. And then there's the communal garden with its lovely views across the fields and paddocks towards the hills of which, incidentally, you get an equally great view from the living area of the cottage. Finally (phew, I hear you sigh) the welcome both from Dan himself, and from the nice array of goodies provided, was just just perfect, all very thoughtfully done and beautifully presented. Thank you for making us feel so welcome in your lovely little cottage. Andy and Laura

  Great Holiday, Great Cottage, Great Host, Great Village and Residents.

  The cottage was up there with the best, Every thing you need for a supper holiday. The little extras on arrival were vary much appreciated, ( and Dan the Bottle of red was great the girls only drink white guess who had the whole bottle) Amenities were spot on, good off road parking, out door laundry facility’s and a large paddock for Louie to chase his ball. Dan the owner, top man very pleasant, helpful and nothing was to much trouble. His knowledge of the area and where to eat was so helpful, Thanks Dan. I must mention the village of Snainton, great chippy less than a minute away from the cottage. The pheasant public house 300yrds approx up the road was 1st class reasonable and made us feel like locals, that included Louie, with his treat and bowl of water, and finally we found the village a very friendly place. Once again Dan thanks for making our holiday GREAT. Trev.Liz,Linda and Louie the Cockerpoo.

  Very cosy and comfortable cottage in the bustling village of Addingham.

  The weather was cold and wet but the cottage was easy to warm with the log burner, central heating and hot water for baths after the long walks. A very comfortable super king bed and well equipped kitchen. We had trouble with streaming bbc iPlayer via the TV (maybe broadband speed?). Parking not an issue. The road is fairly busy in the day but quietens down at night (being from London it didn’t bother us). The regular bus service was great and we got the bus from near the cottage to Bolton Abbey and ilkley. We drove to Malham about 30 mins away and not to be missed. The village has five pubs (we had good meals at two of them) an Indian takeaway and a well equipped coop. The Swan also does takeaway fish and chips to order.

  A lovely clean well appointed cottage.

  2 things irked me though. It is clear by reading the visitors book in the cottage that the owners don't take the maintenance of the property seriously. There were still ants in the kitchen (reported by previous visitors). Halfway through our stay I decided to have a bath, albeit not a deep bath it was enough for the water line to touch the overflow. My husband shouts from downstairs that water is pouring through the ceiling. He decides not to shower that day and we report the issue to Sykes as there is no direct contact details for the owner. The response? Along the lines of 'Oh we aren't going to do anything about it. This has happened before. Just don't take a deep bath!' Seriously??!!!

  The property was as described and appeared clean internally.

  Outside areas were full of weeds, patio furniture was not clean and the windows were dirty. There were ants in the kitchen on arrival and the issue became worse as the week progressed. No contact details were provided for the owner. Contacted Sykes who received feedback from the owner that they failed to relay until prompted two days later. Tried to follow this up with Sykes and the owner but Sykes refused my request to talk to a manager and the owner didn't contact me when I asked to discuss my concerns with them directly. Overall, it's a nice property that would be much nicer with better maintenance, cleaning, and communication from Sykes and the owner.
