  We really enjoyed our stay, please see our pros and cons to help other guests :) Cons; Hot tub is on the front of the cottage, in a shared garden.

  This is fairly private but it’s not ideal for dog owners due to them not being able to roam free around the shared garden. The seating area in the back garden has no padding or comforts. All bedding + towels are white, again not ideal for a dog friendly property. Although we were very grateful for the welcome package we received, this is the first stay we have been on where theres been nothing catered to the dogs. Local pub is very rough, limited beer selection + a handful of basic spirits. Not very welcoming to ‘tourists’ which is a shame as we usually fall in love with the local pub Pros; Lovely location, very close to Bedale for some sweet nick nack shopping. Gorgeous bakeries! Loads of amazing local walks to do, we were sad our stay wasn’t longer. Welcome pack included eggs, bacon, bread and some crisps - very grateful!! Sofa and the bed we stayed in were very comfy. Wifi is very good which is rare usually for Sykes. Although the listing says you can hear the main road, we didn’t get any noise within the property which is a bonus!! Parking isn’t as far away as it looks Hot tub was clean and always a great temperature Kitchen is a decent size (not enough chairs for the amount of guests the property can hold though) Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would return should it be more dog friendly next time. Great location for keen hikers like ourselves :)

  We stayed at Loft Cottage for 6 nights as we were in between house moves.

  We are local to the area so knew our way around very well. Due to a mix up with Sykes the cottage owners were not expecting us so there was a lack of preparation for our stay, not the owners fault at all and they generously apologized with flowers, chocolates and prosecco which was very kind. The cottage is comfortable and roomy for 2 though I would expect it to be cramped at full occupancy (5) and there is only 1 combined bathroom/toilet. Despite not having parking at the property this was not a problem and even unloading a weeks worth of supplies proved hassle free and there was always lots of parking available beyond the pub. We did visit the pub once, it has a very basic food menu and limited bar and geared to locals, we enjoyed several visits to nearby Bedale which has an abundance of everything. The bed and sofa were super comfortable and the cottage is furnished to a high quality. We stayed during a week of violent storms, the front wooden door had swollen with the rain and didnt close properly, the lounge is the chilliest room in the house but upstairs is very warm and cosy. We were able to let our dog out in the courtyard but always had to check that the from gates were closed s this exits direct onto a main road. The abundant grass areas opposite the cottage are great for exercising dogs and there is a play area for children.

  January stay Good Points-what a lovely house, very spacious, comfortable, well maintained, had everything you need for self catering, plenty of seating, storage, good location 10 minutes from bedale, lots of parking space, welcoming and helpful hosts.

  Particularly helpful when the lights tripped out one day. Lovely garden and nice views. Bad points-INDOOR POOL NOT HEATED IN WINTER, this was a massive disappointment for us as this had been one of the reasons we booked this particular house. We didn’t notice this in the listing although it is mentioned in the finer details. Our own fault for not checking the listing thoroughly but it should be more clear as the pool is mentioned several times. Main bedroom curtains are very light and thin and let in too much light, particularly the patio door as it’s near to the bed. Twin room beds were very squeaky. There are two internal doors connecting to the hosts property, one in the kitchen and one in the twin bedroom these were locked from the owners side and not an issue for us as a group of adults but may make some uncomfortable. Overall we really liked the property and would return another time of year when the pool is useable.

  We really enjoyed our stay at loft cottage!

  It is the perfect place to escape to, with lots of cute little towns and villages nearby, as well as an abundance of countryside walks that kept us busy. The surrounding area has lots of gems to see, we visited waterfalls, castles and even had a day at the beach (which is about an hours drive away). Crakehall village is lovely and peaceful. The owner of the village pub was very welcoming and told us all about Crakehall village life. The facilities at the cottage were perfect. We found everything we needed to make ourselves feel at home. The cottage was warm and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cater throughout our stay. The hot tub was fab and I also enjoyed relaxing on the egg chair in the garden.

  The cottage is lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip.

  The beds are quite comfy. It is an old house so its quite creaky at times and the hot water can go off if using the showers at the same time. The listing and the instructions were a bit confusing and mismatched at times as to what to bring and what not to but this is minor and we managed. Loved the welcome box it was a lovely touch. It would have been nice if the wifi was connected to the tv so we could have used the smart tvs. The hot tub was a nice addition and private, the cottage was on the main road through road and was a bit noisy with traffic at times but again only a minor thing. Maybe if the windows were double glazed this would help. All in all a lovely stay for us and would recommend for a short break.
