  Apartment 6 is FANTASTIC.

  It’s a wonderful and perfectly appointed apartment, in a stunningly beautiful (and secure) building. The pictures will give you a good idea of how lovely this place is - it really is as great as it looks - but in addition: Great communication from the owner - clear and timely instructions. The fittings and furnishings in the apartment are very high quality. It was literally spotlessly clean. The apartment is on the first floor, accessed via two wide flights of stairs in the extremely grand entrance hall. I am pretty sure there is a lift, but DO check this with the owner if this is important to you. We didn’t use any of the cooking facilities in the apartment as we ate out, but I would be confident it’s equipped with what you might need. The parking for two vehicles is at the front of the property, and clearly marked. It’s on flat gravel. The building entrance and parking is illuminated early dusk/dark and sensor lighting thereafter - you can see your car/s from the apartment. It’s very peaceful! It’s an easy 10/15 min walk into Ripon. We felt very safe in the area, even walking back fairly late at night. Loads of nice places to eat and drink in Ripon. It was quite busy, even mid-week. A large M&S Food is a short drive away, as is a Morrisons. We’ve been using cottages and apartments for short breaks for years, and this is by far the best place we have stayed. We’d love to go back - but it’s so lovely, we suspect it will never be available again!!!

  Beautiful building & a great location, close enough to the city to be convenient yet far enough away to be quiet.

  Private parking. The 2 bed apartment was spacious & modern & very well equipped. There was an iron but no board, no washing machine which we were aware of but there is a laundry service in the town centre. No hoover so guests can’t maintain the cleanliness. Guests are asked to strip the beds on leaving which is fine but what I did not expect to see was stained mattress protectors (although i believe that has been mentioned before!!) Also mentioned previously was the “Welcome Pack” Ours was a pint of milk!!!!! I believe there was a similar review re the welcome pack as well as the premium price tag. We also paid a premium for this apartment for a week in July , to say we were disappointed was an understatement. Usually we’ve been very fortunate with Sykes holiday rentals… Milk,Juice,Fruit,Jams,Biscuits,Beer,Wine & other local produce. We appreciate Sykes have no control of the above but there should at least be a minimum standard as some guests may not arrive until late in the evening.

  Hope House - A Perfect Yorkshire Retreat 5 stars Hope House is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of the stunning Yorkshire countryside.

  As a couple with a small Yorkshire Terrier, we were seeking a peaceful retreat, and Hope House exceeded all expectations. The cottage itself is charming and beautifully maintained. The spacious kitchen/diner was perfect for preparing meals, while the cozy sitting room with its woodburning stove created the ideal ambiance for relaxing evenings. Upstairs, the bedrooms were comfortable and stylish, and the bathrooms were luxurious. We loved exploring the surrounding area. The walks through the Dales were breathtaking, and the nearby village of Kirkby Malzeard offered everything we needed. The Queens Head pub was a particular highlight. Hope House is the perfect base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales. We can't wait to return! Highly recommend for couples seeking a tranquil getaway.

  We absolutely loved our stay at Apartment 6.

  The hosts were enormously helpful and quick to help out. The location, near Ripon was wonderful to explore- walking and driving. The house and apartment are of the highest quality, we agreed it was the most comfortable bed we had slept in for a long time. We stayed with two of our sons and could not think of anything that could have made our stay better. There are several residents who permanently reside in the house and they were friendly, welcoming and had great recommendations for local places to visit and eat. The original features of this building make this a special place to stay. We would definitely return if in the area.

  Thank you for allowing us to stay in your wonderful apartment - what a special holiday residence!

  The entrance hall and floating staircase are akin to those found in stately homes - we visited Beningbrough Hall during our vacation and found ourselves favourably comparing Highfield House with such National Trust properties! The whole building is amazing and Apartment 6 is beautifully furnished and luxuriously appointed. The quality of the fixtures and fittings is second to none. There's even a tap giving instant boiling water! An excellent base from which to explore the lovely town of Ripon and all the various countryside villages in this special part of God's own country - which of course is Yorkshire!
