  We really enjoyed our stay at Demonicus.

  We would normally stay somewhere quiet and remote so this was a real change. The cottage was lovely and central with safe bike storage. A washing machine would have made a real difference and it would have been helpful to know there was an iron and board at the property. I did ask Sykes to confirm and was told there wasn’t an iron so we ended up buying one on the journey up. I also found the communication with Sykes a bit of a nightmare so I would be wary of booking through them again. They also charged us wrongly and trying to get hold of someone was far from easy. We loved the village square although noise could probably be a problem for some but it didn’t detract from our stay. Bed really comfy and bathroom nice and clean. However it didn’t look as though the cottage had been hoovered. The stair carpet was dirty and the kitchen and living room floor. Maybe a bit more attention to those things. However there was a Hoover so we gave it a quick spin over. Thanks for a lovely stay.

  Great little cottage in the heart of Middleham (two doors down from the pub and 2 minutes walk to Middleham Castle!

  ) Everything we needed for a week in the Dales. Stunning venue to watch the Racehorses each morning heading out to train on the nearby ‘Gollops’. Local well stocked shop open early and a lovely Fish and Chip shop which was open Weds - Saturday. Only negative was the stairs to the upper bedroom - very steep, but this is clearly stated upon booking, so can’t complain. Owners are contactable- so good for minor queries etc. Parking is a bit of a lottery as the square outside gets very busy, but by late evening we were usually able to park right outside the Cottage. Rear courtyard has little patio set and is part of a shared access to other properties, but this is Middleham and many of these hidden cottages are centuries old and we loved the hidden passages and historic quaint feel of the place. We’ll definitely go back to Middleham and would recommend Demonicus as a place to base yourself and explore The Yorkshire Dales.

  I stay at The Bay at least twice a year for at least a week each time, and have done for many years.

  I’ve stayed in many properties there, but of all my stays this was probably my favourite. The property is lovely, warm, and cosy but spacious. It has good WiFi (key when working away) and smart TVs in each room. Its location is great, right in the middle of the beach and the park facilities. The property has its own parking space at the front of the house, great when you’re staying a while or just like to pack a lot! The property had a small Christmas tree and some small festive touches, and came with a lovely welcome gift pack, a really beautiful touch. I can think of no cons, one recommendation may be to install a baby gate at the bottom of the stairs (I’ve had this in previous properties and it’s great to stop kids and dogs running up and down the stairs) but wasn’t essential. Overall a really lovely stay, I’d highly recommend and will most likely look to stay there again on one of our return trips.

  Television!

  No notification to tell us no signal for tv. As a company you managed to send details prior to holiday with key collection but could not notify us about the issues with tv signal which had been down for over 10 weeks. In cottage no info or instructions to tell us what to do or even that there was a problem. Spent 2 hours trying to make tv work and only when we went out for a walk that we were told by another holiday maker that there was a problem. Positives are cottage lovely, clean and very comfortable. First contact with Sykes about issue really lovely and passed issue on to member of customer care team who did not bother speaking to us personally but e mailed,we had phoned and left a contact number. Did not seem to realise that there was a issue or that the company had been inefficient and just passed the problem on to the owner who responded positively!

  Lovely place, conveniently located near the Bay amenities and 10 minute walk from the beach.

  Great little welcome pack with bread, jams, eggs from local shop. Well thought out for babies and toddlers, with a high chair, cot, stool and toddler toilet seat. Plenty of cupboard and drawer space for unpacking. The bed was very comfortable. Unfortunately there was dog hair on a couple of the pillows in the main bedroom, so we swapped with pillows from the other bedroom. The shower was nice and powerful! However the owners may want to consider getting a slightly larger shower screen as the water does get past, we can see it has already caused some damage on the floor. Hand towels for the bathrooms would be a nice addition. Unfortunately the property wasn’t as clean as I expected, but that can easily be resolved with a deep clean and wouldn’t stop us coming back. Overall a nice property in a great location!
