  My second stay at Cooper Cottage.

  Keith was again very welcoming and helpful, and on hand to help with any queries. We had a really restorative stay. The kids enjoyed the quiet, rural location, and had great fun on the swings, including in the dark, where they enjoyed star gazing in the absence of light pollution. Being on the edge of the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors, Cooper Cottage is a great base from which to explore this beautiful area, with many lovely places to visit. I recommend a climb up Roseberry Topping on a clear day. We would also highly recommend the Blue Bell Inn at nearby Ingleby Cross for excellent pub food and an unspoiled country pub atmosphere. The staff were lovely, and the chef caters well for special dietary needs, in particular gluten free. Being a little "off grid" (no WiFi!) allowed us to enjoy some simple family pleasures, such as board games, in the evenings, where normally it might have been a struggle to prise my son away from his games console. The log burner added a lovely cosy element to the evenings. The facilities are lovely. Modern and clean, with all needs provided for, including dishwasher and washing machine. A minor point - ideally a fridge without a freezer compartment would be good, since the availability of a separate freezer (which is definitely a plus) negates any need for a freezer compartment in the fridge, and makes the actual fridge space rather small for a family. My only minor negative comment is (having come with my husband and children this time, as opposed to my mum and sister last time), the games room could do with a little TLC. There are no tips on the pool cues, so despite the presence of a pool table, you can't actually play. Could treat the room to a couple of new sets of darts, and a puck for the air hockey. None the less, we did make use of the games room, mainly the darts and the table football, and all enjoyed ourselves. I would definitely come again. Thanks Keith for a lovely stay.

  As a group of 6 ladies, we have just returned from a weekend in Carvin Tor.

  A very pleasant stay overall. 10/10 for cleanliness! Not a spec of dust to be seen! Bedding was beautiful and fresh. The bathroom is lovely and spacious. The hottub was worth it's weight in gold as we had sunshine all weekend and it sits in the sun all day, so we made good use of this. The owner comes every day to check the pH level and it was beautifully hot and ready to use on arrival. This was fantastic for a weekend away with friends, but I think we would have felt quite cramped if we had stayed any longer, as we maxed out the capacity with 6 people. Low beams in the kitchen and bedrooms can be dangerous if you forget they're there! No dishwasher, although not to say there won't be in the future as there were tablets in the cupboard and a space next to the fridge where one may have been previously. Smart TV, tv's in bedrooms, microwave, toaster, oven & hobs, washing machine but no detergent so be sure to take your own if you plan to use it. Hand soap, tea towels, washing up liquid and sponge/scourer. Large fridge and freezer so plenty of room for all our food and drink. Excellent supply of glasses and plastic beakers, which is important to use outside, as glass not allowed in hottub. Not suitable for wheelchair access or to anyone unable to climb steps.

  Just back from a fantastic 6 day stay at Carvin Tor.

  What a wonderful little hideaway this property is. Kevin, the owner is such a helpful bloke, full of knowledge of the local area and nothing is too much trouble for him. The property was spotless throughout, kitchen well stocked with every utensil/pots/pans you could ever need, real home from home. Beds were extremely comfortable, we slept like logs ! Great , strong WiFi signal, comfortable sofas in the lounge area and TVs in every room with Freeview and as it’s October it was a little chilly in the evenings so we cranked the heating up a little bit, made it even cozier with the rain lashing against the windows and the wind howling! The hot tub was lovely too. Ok, it’s not the newest model but it does what it’s supposed to do, hot, bubbly and very relaxing. We will definitely be back for another visit. The location is perfect for getting out to either the North Yorkshire moors or The Dales, there’s so much to see and do within a short drive and spectacular scenery everywhere. My wife and I would highly recommend Carvin Tor, we’ll be back as soon as we can.

  Lovely stay again thanks to Keith and Anji.

  Cooper Cottage would benefit from a replacement fridge - current one has very little useable space due to freezer compartment (unnecessary, as there's a separate freezer) and batons in door pop out if anything of weight (ie milk / bottles) are stored in door storage. Appears the games room has been consigned to history, which is understandable if Pottofields Cottages don't get many young guests, but if you do get youngsters, it would enhance the holiday cottages if this was refreshed and updated. I noticed an EV charging point. We're still on petrol, sadly, but aspiring to an EV as soon as realistically possible. A real plus for holiday cottages in such a rural area where the nearest commercial charging points are probably quite a long way away. Fantastic to see commitment to carbon reduction. A lovely stay again! Keith is always very responsive and helpful. We'll probably be back :-)

  This property is well below Sykes standards.

  The property had many issues the beds were very poor quality & uncomfortable, the kitchen had a integral washing machine dumped under the worktop, also F/Freezer was integral used as a free standing one, no handles, cupboards were old & sad looking, worktops & hob marked. Kettle had to be filled from the spout, there was no cupboard space to put food so had to be left on worktop. Glazed window in the kitchen was blown, chair in living room had feet removed, one bedroom was unfinished painted. Hot tub area in desperate need of some tlc certainly wasn’t a patio garden area. The list is endless. The view must have been taken elsewhere, we stayed in a Sykes cottage in May this year for less than the £800+ we paid for this one. I was pleased to leave & return home to comfort and high standards.
