  We come to York every year to visit family locally and we looking for somewhere to return to regularly, unfortunately this was not it.

  The house was well located and a good size and price for what we needed. The welcome basket was a nice touch and we are thankful for that. The children enjoyed a few nice treats. However it was not clean. I had to buy some disinfectant to clean the toilet which was disgusting and also clean the basin and shower. The hob was filthy and I was glad we were not cooking at the property as we spent the evenings with family. There were only three bowls so we had to wash up one before the last person could have breakfast. The dishwasher looked like it was on its last legs so we were not keen to use it. Suggest buying a wipe clean table cloth as the grooves in the wooden table accommodate dirt and the placemats provided are stained. There are not enough seating for everyone to sit comfortably in the front room and watch the TV. The photo of the front garden is misleading as it’s just open and part of the car park area. The blurb to the cottage needs to mention the steep stairs and the fact that the first step is just outside the door to the main bedroom. I have dyspraxia and I was terrified I would come out of my bedroom and fall down the stairs. Disappointing from what we have experienced previously from Sykes and we will not be returning.

  A lovely holiday home that was sadly spoilt due to an infestation of fly's and bugs.

  100's and 100's of them on all upper floors where two bedrooms are, full evidence was supplied and the property owners son visited the home to confirm how bad it was. I have contacted both Sykes and the property owner for a partial refund and was informed that no compensation would be paid, despite me paying £4k for a 3 night stay. Later this week I will be placing a chargeback via my bank for the full £4k and I would recommend anyone else in the same situation does this too, all I have asked for is a £500 partial refund which I felt was very reasonable under the circumstances. Once the charge back is made and I have received the full £4k refund Sykes or the property owner (Not sure who loses out) can take me to court if they wish to fight this further, silly that they have forced me to do this as this could have been resolved with a £500 partial refund.

  Claire Cottage is an ideal cottage for the winter .

  We found it always warm and comfortable during the day and night . The cottage is fitted out perfectly and nothing has been forgotten. The 2 bedrooms have plenty of storage space for clothes and the beds very comfortable . Each bedroom has a bathroom which is very useful . The living room has a comfortable 3 piece suite and a giant TV with all the required apps . The kitchen diner has a warm feel to it and we had a few meals and drinks in it . It also has patio doors leading to a small courtyard. We did not sit out as it was to cold but I bet it is lovely in the summer. The front door leads to a fenced garden which our doggo loved doing zoomies in . Beyond is a large field which belongs to cottage owners also useful for dog walking . I cannot find any faults with this cottage . We have stayed in a few Sykes Cottages now and this the best so far.

  Undeniably the best self catering accomodation we have ever visited.

  There were a lot of possibilities for problems as we were there with my 89 year old mum who does have severe arthritis and struggles with quite a few day to day tasks, Every single thing that could go wrong went right in a big way. Super clean but not off putting, super presented it felt like home. Lovely location but not too out of the way, Lots to see and do in the area and we were able to handle the hottest days in 2022 heatwave successfully as on the very hottest day we were comfortable staying in a home from home relaxing and doing our own thing. Welcome back on arrival was stunning (and delicious) So many positives and we can't wait to go back !

  We have just had the loveliest stay at claires cottage.

  A true home from home for us and our german shepherd Tracey and Paul have thought of everything and are on hand next door if needed. The walks are lovely in the woods and surrounding area selby is a lovely town and the local garden centre is a must visit if staying local . The welcome hamper of bread biscuits crisps milk and wine is amazing and treats for the dog as well as blankets towels cupboards stocked with everything. You want for nothing we dont usually do self catering but would come back here definitely. Thank you sykes cottages also for constant communication and your support as well as the lovely hosts with welcoming texts but no intrusion.
