What our customers say about their holidays

• Dorcas - Verified booking

  This is a beautiful small cottage situated in a glorious setting with partial views out to sea across to Robin Hoods Bay from the kitchen and lovely moorland views from the main living area.

  The cottage is well fitted out and provides opportunity for eating in if you don’t want to drive. There are wonderful walks from your door step and opportunities for exploring this beautiful area of North Yorkshire. The owners are very responsive to issues as and when they occur and communication was easy. It is worth noting that the cottage is isolated and the long drive from the main road is single lane with the last 900 metres being an extremely narrow bridle way with very few opportunities for passing. In wet weather the side verges are extremely soft making pulling off the road not an good option. Unless you are confident in rural reversing on a restricted road then this cottage may give you a problem especially in the busier summer months when there will be more visitors. If it wasn’t for the access to the property I would rec this without hesitation to anyone who loves the idea of rural isolation in comfort.

  Sykes are aware of our dispute with Cottage Anton.

  We left on Thursday because the host was unable to address our problems. We were offered a refund if we left early but so far we have only received a partial refund. During our state, we had no hot water which made it very uncomfortable when we showered. In addition, the towel rail in the bathroom was not working. The bedding was awful with the pillows being thin and very lumpy meaning that my wife ended up with numb ears. The duvet wasn’t big enough for the bed. The underfloor heating was lovely and the property itself is absolutely beautiful. The problem was the plumbing. I believe the host did try to engage your plumber but was unsuccessful. It’s horrible when you’re in a property surrounded by snow and you cannot have a lovely hot shower and then dry with lovely warm towels. Sykes are aware of our dispute and we expect them to get the matter resolved.

  We usually holiday in St Ives when in Cornwall so were initially a little taken aback by the remoteness of the location and the 'walls' of hedgerow that frame many of North Cornwall's roads. However, we were delighted to find that Barney's Cottage lived up to its online description. The barn's conversion has been carried out to a high spec and beautifully finished right down to the deliciously comfy giant sofas and enormous comfortable bed. Our beloved 17 year old Jack Russell passed away just before this holiday, which was booked with Millie in mind, but we know she would have approved of the under floor heating next to her little paws and safely secured back garden. If a peaceful secluded retreat is what you crave from your holiday in Cornwall, we would definitely recommend Barney's Cottage for its privacy and supreme comfort.

  We could not recommend Barney’s Cottage enough, it really is a gem. It is a beautiful cottage, very clean and well kept, and ideal for privacy and dogs. This ticks all the boxes and is truly a great place to stay. It is located in an amazing off the beaten track yet easily accessible area with natural beauty all around. It is very spacious inside and equipped with everything you need. The shower is excellent and spacious. The outside is fabulous and private, not being over looked, and very large with so much room for a dog or dogs and children to run around play and exercise plenty, maybe around a third of an acre or more of land. The owners are extremely friendly and very helpful and made us feel most welcome. We have already booked our next stay here as a result. 10 out of 10.

  The property was located down a narrow country lane . But had fantastic views from the large enclosed garden. Unfortunately the only downside was the slippery, slate steps and patio due to the rain. Green moss on the slate made it very slippy. Hand rail would be beneficial. Had to pay £30 per dog ( we took 3) Dogs had to kept on a lead at all times due to a working farm which is no problem but witnessed a man walking his dog off lead. At the end of the stay you are asked to strip the bed unfortunately when we did this there was several stains on the duvet. ( This should have been changed before we arrived) A few of the plates were chipped too.
