  We decided to take a last minute break and found Goose Lodge, how lucky were we?

  It was absolutely lovely and Judith, Alisdair and Billy the dog made us very welcome. The Lodge was spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated and furnished and well equipped. When self catering, we enjoy sourcing local produce and then cooking at home (on some days!!). The layout of Goose Lodge was ideal for us as it's open plan, so we could cook and chat together. Goose Lodge is located in a small, pretty village and provides an excellent base for travelling around the area. The pub/hotel is literally a few minutes walk away and the food was well presented, exceptionally tasty and a reasonable price. Shipston on Stour is a few miles away, there was free parking and a range of shops including an amazing butchers, a greengrocery with a fish counter, delightful. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back to Goose Lodge, the combination of it's excellent facilities and it's fabulous location make it the ideal spot for visiting the area. Thanks again to Judith and Alisdair.

  We have booked a few cottages around the Cotswold area but none have met such a high standard of cleanliness, style and comfort as goose lodge The accommodation was superb modern yet warm and comfortable,the level of presentation and cleaning done was excellent, lots of space and a stocked kitchen for when you feel like cooking and a decent television for a change for those cold nights in, The area is picturesque and a fantastic base for touring the Cotswolds, but take a torch the village doesn’t believe in street lighting so an evening walk can be tricky, are hosts made us and are dog most welcome on arrival and where always available if called upon , Goose lodge is by far the nicest place we have stayed so far in the Cotswolds and will definitely be returning , One last thing I will add, you can park your car out side your door which is quite a novelty theses days when you hire a place in the Cotswolds Thanks for a lovely stay Chris , Sandra and penny Are dog was welcomed by

  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.
