What our customers say about their holidays

  This is a lovely holiday home and was perfect for our needs.

  I would recommend to others. The reasons why it suited us are that it was very quiet location in a peaceful setting with walks from the door and lots of short day trips (nothing too taxing for a short break) nearby. The property is really nicely presented, super clean but cosy as well. I think having 2 en-suites both with baths is a great idea, it means each person or couple can both have a bath after a long days walking if they chose to. We particularly enjoyed the conservatory as the weather was unpredictable, so this gave us a place to relax and enjoy the view which was really restful. I know everyone always says 'home from home' but I have never used this to describe a holiday home before even when they have been a really high standard/fantastic, but I have to say the owners have really added a personal touch which did make me feel like I was staying in somebody's home rather than a holiday home, there was every single item you could think of in the kitchen and a really lovely welcome basket, but what was so nice was that it was equipped with nice china and bowls (very cottagey),the dining table was set out nicely on arrival and it looked really attractive and welcoming, loads of tea towels and cleaning stuff, plus waffle robes in the bedrooms, great especially if using the hot tub .. who takes a bathrobe on holiday especially for a short break? and remembers dishwasher tablets? plus water bottles and bathroom toiletries. We had a minor glitch with the hot tub (air in the pump) but it was easily resolved, and the hot tub was perfectly placed in a sheltered spot in the garden to enjoy the view. The summer house is fantastic and we used this to sit and read in the evenings when too cool to sit out but too nice to be inside. We received a text from the owners when we arrived to check we were OK which I appreciated, having a few week earlier stayed in another (expensive) holiday property with another well know holiday home rental company (not Sykes), but then couldn't get a response when we left messages about a problem

  Fabulous Cottage with everything you would need and more!

  The owners have thought of every little detail to make your stay the best it can be. Hot tub was fantastic, clean, beautiful and peaceful scenery surrounding for ultimate relaxation. Great walks on your doorstep for shorter easier routes and longer for the hikers out there, the owners have planned routes and maps in leaflets for you also. By far the best place we have stayed and have already recommended to others, if your lucky enough to get booked here your in for a treat! Weather won't be an issue as if you want to hibernate indoors there is more than enough books and games to keep you entertained. Bedrooms are spacious with the comfiest bed we have slept on both with en-suite bath and shower, there was a lovely bag in each cupboard with little extras in also but I will let you check them out, it's the extra little things that make it special sometimes and this place is packed with them!

  Lovely holiday cottage.

  Great location. Very well equipped. Fabulous hot tub - my advice is to take some flip flops to get from the house to the tub as it’s across the drive from the house. Wonderful surroundings with lots of nature and walks on the doorstep - we even saw a barn owl from the garden. The sun room is nice for a relaxing cup of coffee in the morning and the views are fabulous. The owners were very friendly and helpful and got in touch before the holiday and on the start day to check we’d managed to get in ok and ensure our holiday was going to plan. Be aware it’s two double beds so rather than a double and a twin but it wasn’t a problem for my kids. Overall a fabulous weekend away.

  Beds were particularly comfortable and the dining room was a lovely place to eat as a family.

  The hot tub was fantastic and the owners went out of their way to resolve any technical difficulties we experienced. Whilst there was some noise on the Saturday night with the live music, from the pub across the road this was not experienced the rest of the week. The welcome hamper was a nice touch on arrival. For an advertised dog friendly accommodation strange choice of flooring in the garden. Possible gate at end of seating area/edge of bar to separate from hot tub. A washing line would also be handy. Clearer instructions regarding recycling and check out would be useful. Parking was difficult at times and the van in front of the property didn’t move all week!

  Westholme was immaculate & equipped to a very high standard with all we could possible need for our stay.

  The cottage was spacious yet warm & cosy with excellent heating & two large bathrooms with plenty of hot water. Westholme also has a variety of very interesting books, games & maps plus walks details & information on local attractions. The conservatory, garden & hot tub all with views are a super bonus. Mickleton is a small quiet village & the cottage has access to numerous walks either from the doorstep or a very short drive away. The market village of Middleton is close by with the town of Barnard Castle a short distance away. The owners Ian & Kathleen were nearby & could not have been more helpful. We very much enjoyed a chilly November week. Five stars from us!
