  We would like to extend the biggest thank you possible to Victoria, Derek and Olivia for making our weeks stay at Wallerthwaite Barn Cottage the most wonderful time possible.

  This was our first time in a Sykes cottage and we couldn't believe the extent Victoria had gone to make our time there as comfortable as possible. The provisions, such as the towels, tea, coffee, sugar and cleaning materials provided were all top quality and the welcome pack which included wine, scones, jam and butter were a really generous touch. The cottage had everything in it to make it a home from home. So clean and spotless. The location is quiet and peaceful and close to Ripon, Harrogate, Thirsk and the Dales. Fountains Abbey is only a couple of miles away too. We really enjoyed meeting and chatting with you. Well done on having such a beautiful property and home. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property to Sykes customers and hope very much to return sometime in the future.

  Wallerthwaite Cottage was very good with every aspect excellent.

  Our stay was enhanced by the fact that we had very good weather which enabled us to visit many places of interest.e.g.York; Brimham Rocks;Fountains Abbey;Mother Shiptons cave. We were very disappointed by the fact that we visited Castle Howard only to find that the house and gardens were closed as they were "Filming there' This all brought home to me the fact that one must book if you want to visit these places because the same applied to Yorkminster. To cap it all, whilst my wife walked round the York City walls ,I went to the National Railway Museum only to find it was closed. All in all ,you would think this all a disaster but 'no, it was disappointing but,there were other things to do which more than made up for it Would I go back to Wallerthwaite Cottage, An emphatic "Yes".

  The owners extended a very warm welcome on arrival.

  It was great to have detailed sketches & more precise instructions regarding route & parking etc emailed to me prior to departure. Wallerthwaite Barn Cottage had everything that I needed, with a welcome pack which included milk, butter, 6 eggs, coffee, tea, sugar, chocolate chip cookies & some freshly baked fruit scones, similarly the information pack was packed full of leaflets of local attractions & proved very helpful since the weather was not great during my stay. The cottage is ideally situated between Harrogate & Ripon in a lovely area of North Yorkshire with plenty of walks & places of interest close at hand. I would have no hesitation in recommending this cottage as an excellent place to stay whilst visiting this area of North Yorkshire.

  We had not used Sykes Holiday Cottages before and were very pleased that the standard of the accommodation at Wallerthwaite Barn Cottage was excellent.

  It is a very clean, well appointed and delightfully furnished. The welcome pack was much appreciated especially the lovely warm scones. We were met by Derek and Olivia on arrival, and the owner Victoria is very conscientious and caring about her visitors. We were even given a second bottle of wine when the music from a village gathering could be heard at the cottage. A really charming and sociable family. It was a pleasure to meet them. The cottage is well placed between Ripon and Harrogate and there are plenty of interesting places to visit together with the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. We would recommend this accommodation and Sykes Holiday Cottages to anyone.

  It's a hidden gem set in beautiful surroundings mid way between Ripon and Harrogate.

  The owner provided a welcome pack, of butter, fresh eggs, home made bread, milk, tea, sugar, coffee and a bottle of wine. The village shop and post office is run by a lovely lady name Linda and the local pub has a very good menu, both are just a short walk away from the cottage. I was extremely lucky to find Wallerthwaite farm cottage as it was new to the market and i was the first guest. I was between houses at the time and needed somewhere to stay for a month. The cottage is a brand new farm building conversion which has been done to the highest standard with quality fixtures and fittings. I can definitely highly recommend this cottage.
