The Sycamores Reviews

We loved it. What a wonderful place this is. Extremely comfortable and had everything we needed for a lovely relaxing weekend break. Very peaceful location and watching the stars from the hot tub at night was wonderful. Excellent location for visiting some great places to explore with our dog. The box of cakes on arrival was very much appreciated. We would definitely love to stay again. Thank you so much.

Andrew

We had a lovely stay at The Sycamores would definitely recommend this property. We would definitely stay here again. This has everything that we were looking for and more, the fact that we could also bring our small dog was great! The property is very well looked after, and spotlessly clean. The whole family really enjoyed their stay at The Sycamores, the beds were super comfortable, the facilities and amenities were great, and the added bonus of the hot tub was amazing! We couldnt have wished for a better stay, we would definitely recommend booking The Sycamores and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The second time that we have visited this comfortable and well equipped holiday home. We are so impressed how spotlessly clean the accommodation was on our arrival and really enjoyed using the new hybrid BBQ. Another great holiday.

Claire

Had a wonderful time here, the place is immaculate, the owners are lovely even leaving a box of cakes on arrival. The animals were amazing especially the horses which my daughter fell in love with. I cant recommend this place enough, infact I have just booked to come back again twice next year. Thank you for an amazing family holiday. Claire

We had a wonderful stay here, the house was stunning, the owners were kind and it was so quiet and peaceful. My children as did we all loved the horses in the field along side the house and we thought it was wonderful to chill in the hot tub at night and relax quietly in the garden. Totally recommend. The only thing was my children were quite scared of the dogs next door property as they had very loud barks which made them a little scared to walk through the drive way. A little greet with them to start with to show they are softies would be recommended

Rachael

We have just returned from a weeks stay at the sycamores. A family of 4 with youngest being 3 years old. The hosts were friendly and helpful, the property its large, comfortable and immaculately maintained with everything you might need for your stay. The garden is beautiful ideal for nights in the hot tub, or by the fire pit, or cards in the beautiful ridged gazebo even when the weather isnt great. Ideally located for exploring both the Yorkshire mores and dales. Situated on a beautiful small holding with the animals being very friendly and both children loved seeing the animals. I would highly recommend this letting whatever you might be looking for an active or relaxing break. With a large farm shop less the 6 minutes drive and a Tescos that you can click and collect from 15 minutes away. I would highly recommend booking here, thank you Tim and Carol for a lovely break !

Richard

This is a fantastic cottage in a lovely setting . The owners take great pride in providing a wonderful holiday home.The interior is everything you would want it to be, spotless on arrival and surrounded by a beautifully landscaped garden.The hot tub and heated roundhouse just add to the pleasure of staying at The Sycamores as are the lovely cakes which are provided on arrival .This was our third stay and we will be back!!

This is probably one of the nicest properties that we have ever stayed in, if somebody said what was not so good, I would probably have said that my stay was just too short, Tim and Caroline were great, as well as the little extras, that we were so grateful for, just a lovely peaceful stay, and so grateful to the owners for allowing people into their holiday home for a holiday.

Latricia

We had an amazing stay here it was home from home and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Made to feel very welcome and loved waking up to the animal's and the beautiful surrounding. The beds were super comfy and slept in every day. We will defiantly be returning.

Excellent stay, lovely hosts, beautiful property and location

Stefan

2nd visit to this wonderful holiday home & perfect once again. Clean on arrival with some lovely cakes, its the little things that makes this place so special, extra towels, shower gel, toilet rolls, hot tub & jacuzzi bath, also the meals they can provide which are excellent & at a very reasonable price. Will definitely return as this is one of the best places we have ever stayed.

Fabulous holiday home the owners have thought of everything. We really appreciated the heavenly cakes, all the extra toiletries and more than enough loo roll to last the week. Beds are extremely comfortable and the hot tub is great. It was our second visit to the Sycamores, we will be back soon . Happy to recommend this five star property to anyone.

Nichola

Absolutely perfect stay at this beautiful house. We have had an amazing family holiday. There was everything and more that you would need for a family break. The hosts were so kind and helpful. Everyone in our party had a great time. Thank you so much. X

Will keep it short and sweet as wont repeat what others have said but very lovely property and it was a pleasure to stay here. Well done to the owners for making this a nice place to stay.

Had a really great week at this wonderful retreat. It was warm and welcoming with really comfortable beds. Tim was the perfect host and the cakes supplied on arrival were absolutely delicious. We have already booked for 2 weeks next year.

Home from home,everything needed was provided and the girls loved it

Our 3rd stay at the Sycamores, and whilst there booked again. I need say no more.

Stefan

Very clean on arrival with lovely cakes for you, the house looks so much better than in the photos. Very spacious house, lovely enclosed garden for our dog & hot tub makes the house perfect, owners very friendly who dont bother you. I can honestly say that The Sycamores is the best place we have stayed in with Sykes as we book with them every year. Already booked to come back next year. Also so much to do in the area, Barnard Castle, Richmond, Raby castle & lots of beautiful walks within 30 minutes. Thanks for a great holiday.

Joanne

We had an amazing week, this was our 2nd visit and we just love it here. Has gor everything a family needs and could want. Great location, seeing the horses, sheep, goats, ducks and chickens on the farm everyday was lovely. Our dog loves it here to. It has an amazing little field behind to let the dog run about on days when you just don't want to go walking. We will definitely be back.

Sandra

Myself sister and three grandchildren 75and 2. Had a fantastic week The Sycamores had all you could wish for. The food ordered from Carole was fabulous too

What a fantastic property, large spacious rooms. Clean and well equipped. Beautiful garden and farm round side of house. Lovely animals trotting around. Horses, chickens, ducks, sheep, goats....such a glorious setting. Owners were lovely, helpful and approachable. This holiday home was absolutely first class.

Wow what can I say This is an awesome place Awesome location Awesome hosts ... Wow what can I say This is an awesome place Awesome location Awesome hosts Thank you so much we had an absolute Awesome stay We will be hoping to stay in the very near future Thank you again Tulio and Petula

We all absolutely loved our stay at the Sycamores, it was a real home from home with plenty of space and everything provided that you could want, with a beautiful outlook from any window, we really enjoyed looking out the window to see the beautiful horses, sheep ducks etc really felt relaxing and didnt want to leave. The hot tub was one of the best ones we have had, possibly could do with some hooks to hang towels etc and some sort of cover for certain times of year as our weather wasnt the best but didnt spoil our holiday .would highly recommend and would love to go back and explore more.

We enjoyed our week at The Sycamores. Lovely quiet location but with a couple of good pubs for food nearby. Cross Keys in Eppleby, Brownlow Arms in Caldwell, The Fox Hole at Piercebridge and The White Swan at Gilling West. The accommodation was very comfortable. Beds were probably the comfiest we have had away from home. There was plenty of space for two couples and the hot tub and garden were both lovely. Showers and jacuzzi bath worked perfectly. We enjoyed having a cuppa in the garden roundhouse. The cakes on arrival were a nice touch and the quiche we bought from the owners to take away on the last day was delicious. Its worth bringing essentials like milk and bread with you as the little shop in the village was closed when we arrived on Good Friday and the A66 was very busy so we were unable to access another farm shop or supermarket on that day it may well be easier when not a bank holiday though. Our favourite days out were Forbidden Corner and Middleham, Barnard Castle and the Bowes Museum plus Newby House Gardens for the dolls house enthusiast in our party it is a nice place to visit anyway though.

Francis

An exceptional cottage, with a home from home feeling. Hosts very friendly and helpful. Everything about the cottage was wonderful, cosy living room, comfy beds, fully equipped kitchen, bathrooms very clean. Lovely established gardens, with a lovely sitting area. Garden secure for the dogs to wonder around. We all loved the hot tub. Hopefully we will be back to explore more of scenic Yorkshire.

This is the second visit to the sycamores. Its a brilliant cottage. Tim,carole and the lovely lady who works with them didn't get her name could not do enough for us. We made full use of the meals that Carole made and delivered to the door. Lovely meals and plenty of them. 2 great pubs,dog friendly,great food and just a walk away. Very friendly people in the area always a warm welcome . Fabulous week. Can't speak highly enough.

Sharon

What a gem of a place! Lovely and quiet, lovely walks on your doorstep. The cottage is large and everyone had their own space. Used the hot tub loads. Lots of animals around and mostly friendly. Ideal base for what we wanted. Lots of parking also. The cottage was well equipped and also lots of lovely blankets, not that we needed them as heating was brilliant. Fabulous selection of cakes on arrival! Cant wait to be back again!

Anthony

Excellent property. The roulade was delicious. The Xmas trimmings were fantastic. Couldnt fault anything about our stay. Would highly recommend to anyone. If I was to book again I would book a summer break so I could make more use of the garden and hot tub.

A lovely warm, spacious, quiet property, mainly on the ground floor. Super comfortable beds, and a great garden for our little dog. Tasty dinners offered by the owner Carole, who is a topclass caterer, and delicous cakes which are a lovely treat after a long walk. Perfect

The Sycamores is very well equipped, clean and comfortable. One of the best Sykes properties we have stayed at. Wonderful Holiday.

Superb.This is no ordinary cottage it is the top of its game,so many extras the kitchen was stocked to the brim with everything you could possibly need. Lovely toiletries in bathrooms. Board games for kids and adults. The list is endless. The garden was fab trees laden with apples which we fed to the horses and goats every day.special mention to the running ducks as they made me laugh never seen them before so cute.Tim and his family were fantastic,on hand for local info and never intrusive.make use of the food service they provide as lovely meals delivered to the door prices very good. We had a fantastic family holiday and can't speak highly enough of this lovely cottage with great walks for the dogs and brilliant location for surrounding village and Richmond. Thanks guys you are top class x

What a great week away in a lovely property

Glenda

An oasis of peace and calm The Sycamores is situated in a peaceful haven. Garden is beautiful and well equipped. Cottage is well furnished with comfortable beds and soft furnishings. Having 3 bathrooms is ideal for a family. A couple of small problems which were dealt with immediately by the owners who live close by but dont intrude. Lovely welcome pack of cakes supplied by Rosas Sweet Boutique which were delicious. Thank you

Matthew

Lovely spacious house, very private and a nice garden. We especially liked the hot tub and the meals that Tim and Carole can provide on request. Would definitely book again.

This is a beautiful cottage. Everything you need is provided. There are fluffy blankets if the weather is cold. This was our second visit here, we have been in the winter and summer now. and Im sure we will come again. Its very private, the hot tub is fab. The garden is beautiful and lovely to sit out on sunny days. All the rooms are very spacious. We visited Fountains Abbey in Ripon and the workhouse museum which our 10 year old loved. I would definitely recommend a visit here.

Richard

This was our second stay at The Sycamores and it certainly wont be our last! !Such a lovely place for a holiday and it doesnt surprise me at all that when you read the cottage visitors book so many people rebook or plan to come back again.Inside the cottage is all you would ever want ,clean spacious bedrooms and bathrooms to go with a lovely kitchen and main living room.Thats before you venture outside to the hot tub and the heated round house which are set amongst a fantastic well maintained garden.You only need to look at the photos of the cottage which certainly tempted us to book for our first visit in 2021 ,and as a few have said certainly dont do this wonderful place justice.Thankyou once again Carole and Tim for a fantastic family holiday and we will see you again soon.

Thomas

Tim and carol are lovely hosts, very helpful but non intrusive. The cottage itself is absolutely beautiful, well laid out, well thought out, and just about everything you need for a relaxing family holiday. If anything the photos on the website dont do it justice, its definitely a cottage we will revisit in the future.

This is our second visit to this property and will hopefully go again next year. The property is exceptional and has everything you could possibly need and more. Very quiet, clean and spacious.

Situated in the Ripon area of North Yorkshire this popular theme park makes a fantastic day out for the whole family.
