Easter Holidays In Yorkshire Dales

Reviews

What our customers say about their holidays

• Mr Brenton - Verified booking

  The good: - Great location for Malham and the Pennine Way - Lots of space in living areas and two of the bedrooms - Clean The bad: - Lacking some basics (scissors in the kitchen; saucepans big enough to cook basics for 4) - Very small and compromised bathrooms - In poor state of repair in places (large glass shower door held on with silicone, and fell off; bad smell from drains; TVs in bedrooms not working) - Layout of outdoor space leads to a total lack of privacy in garden (which is shared with the neighbouring cottage). For example, the Hot Tub is placed just a few feet from the one belonging to the neighbouring cottage, meaning no privacy if the neighbours use theirs at the same time. (Especially so if you have neighbours who spend their time smoking, drinking, swearing, shouting and arguing in the hot tub!) We eventually cut our stay short and came home a day early. The owner did offer a partial refund, reflecting some of these issues, but this has never materialised and he has since stopped answering messages asking him to honour his promises.

  The apartment is wonderful with every mod con.

  There is a lift from the car park up to the 3rd floor which we hadn't read about. So it was most welcome. There were also t-towels, an over glove, condiments and sauces, tea and coffee and washing up equipment left for our use. Also I was glad to find a hairdryer. The owners had left a vase of fresh flowers and a bottle of wine which was a lovely touch. I have read on various sites that Skipton is between four and ten miles away, but it is definitely only four. The development is next to the railway station (but trains aren't heard) and we went into Skipton on the train one evening. All very straight forward. There is a small village shop in Cononley and two pubs, one of which is only two minutes walk from the apartment. If we went back to the area we would certainly stay at Horace Mills again. Can't recommend it highly enough.

  Lovely apartment with great views.

  Would be a 5-star listing if it were not for maintenance issues and lack of instructions. Toilet seats were loose, the lobby toilet the seat came off in our hands. Bedside cabinet draws falling out. The shower flip door was very stiff so much so that it was moving the main glass panel and felt dangerous. The extractor fan remote control not working assuming flat batteries, same with the hall ceiling blinds. Tried to download the Control S app but an access code was required we did work out how to work the system. Sykes should have a system for people to report faults as it seems most people don't tell the owners of faults. A simple book in the apartment to report faults too. We were there for a short weekend break, so full instructions save us wasting time trying to work out how things work!

  Absolutely loved the flat.

  Impeccably clean and beautiful. Lovely views out the windows, great location. We were not in the flat much as we were out hiking most days but it was a wonderful place to return home to. Strangely the post code didn't get us there in google maps but we had no trouble finding it. Easy to get keys and enter. Parking space was very tight for larger cars. We managed fine due mostly to the empty spaces across from the assigned spot. If those were filled, not sure we should have been able to get our car in! I gather from looking at the outdoor space there may be restrictions on parking there, but if there is recommended street parking I would suggest advising future renters in case they have a large car. Many thanks for the wonderful stay. It was fantastic.

  Location was beautiful, with great views and lots of local walks. It is remote, so a car is required for days out, and the local roads are often single track with passing places. The accommodation was a bit cramped for five adults. Three bath / shower rooms have been squeezed in, but the layouts are poor. One shower room is tiny, and to get to the basin in the main bathroom you have to squeeze through a gap between the bath and the toilet. Small changes would make a difference such as bins and mirrors in each of the bedrooms. Kitchen was well equipped, but we did have issues with the microwave (blew up and had to be replaced!) and the electricity tripping and being unable to find the fuse box. We added a note to the info folder for future holiday makers.
