We had a very pleasant stay at the Bolt Hole which had everything you needed including WiFi. Which was very important including a great pub twenty yards away which was very friendly and welcoming.

Lovely cosy and comfy cottage with everything you need for a relaxing break. The area is quiet, there are seaviews from many of the windows. You can go on coastal walks, the Portland Bill lighthouse is a short walk away. We were made to feel very welcome by Brad, and the fruit, drinks and cakes were much appreciated.

Our stay in the cottage was very welcoming, comfortable, warm and had everything we could have wanted. The surrounding area is beautiful with lots of walking/ cycling trails and only a short distance from lovely pubs and shops.

It’s such a shame about renting a cottage when you can’t enjoy the two days (1 start 1 finally ). Of your holiday booking !

Very easily booked on Sykes site. Angel Cottage in Skipton was ideally situated near the Rail station for our looked forward trip on the Settle/Carlisle line. The cottage had everything we needed & was warm & comfortable. Plenty of places to eat in Skipton which is well worth leaving a full day to explore.

A great location and the caretaker was very helpful . We were suprised that there was only seating for 4 in each of the living rooms , given that the accomodation sleeps 8.

We've stayed at some lovely NTS cottages, but, for us, this was the best. Beautiful location, lovely cottage. OK, the front could do with a coat of paint - but it does get all the weather straight from the sea. One review I read said that the dials on the cooker had lost their numbers. Yes, they have, but someone has carefully written their equivalent in the book of instructions so there was no problem. When we arrived the cottage was very warm and cosy. It stayed like that all the time we were there. One night there was a storm and torrential wind and rain - we were snug and cosy - but some rain did penetrate the dining room window. We put a towel there so that the carpet didn't get wet. It was only when we had the extreme weather. Our German Shepherd loved the private beach and the garden proved to be dog secure for her (a small dog could perhaps have wriggled out.) Some lovely walks in the area, across the sands or inland. Can't wait to go again - loved it.

Excellent service from Sykes, very easy to book and all required information supplied before deparature. We were delighted with Abbey View Cottage and its location within easy reach of Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby. It is ideal for two people + dog, with lots of walks for our dog as well as the dog field. In fact everywhere was very dog friendly. 2 very nice pubs within about a mile. The owners are friendly and very helpful with local information and recommendations on restaurants etc. We would definitely book again and have already recommended the cottage to another couple who have a dog.

Sykes Cottages have a good choice of cottages in all areas of the UK. However, if you need to contact them their customer service doesn't exist. Nobody answers the phone and you have to rely on e-mails. This is not good enough. This only happened after they were bought by a faceless company interested only in profits at the expense of the customer.
