Lake Farm Cottage, Yorkshire

Beautiful cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hosts are friendly and accomodating, going out of their way to tend to and needs within reason. The views, nearby forest walks and sounds of nature made it the best experience, along with the friendly animals. Chickens and dogs The bed is comfortable, kitchen clean and cozy with stylish amenities. Bathroom is modern, everything you need is there apart from food and clothing. They thought of everything when it comes to making you feel at home. Whether you're relaxing in the steamy jacuzzi under the stars at night, sitting out front on the comfy chairs listening to the birds and having a coffee with the morning sun, or having a braai bbq and drinks in the back looking at the nearby farmlands, the cottage is really the home away from home that you want to keep coming back to. Thank you both for the stay and thank you Millie for being our forest guide and keeping us company during our stay.

The cottage is in a great location. Well built and good out lay. Short drives to a lot of interesting places Walks straight from the door also. Peaceful place to enjoy the hot tub and comfortable building to relax in. The full length windows on one side capture the morning sun, also the hot tub area feels private and enjoys the evening sun. A true gem in Yorkshire Will stay again Brian &Jackie

We had a lovely stay here. The cottage was really comfortable and well equipped. A perfect location for exploring this beautiful area.

This is a lovely cottage and we had a wonderful stay but we were put off by a couple of things. Ill start with the cleanliness, it was perfect, the cottage was beautiful and the hot tub was brilliant. So the day we were setting off and got our key codes we got an email informing us that they would have to come in and drain the hot tub on our last night so be out the hot tub at 9. I replied theres nothing on Sykes about this so I suggest you amend it as its not something Ive ever come across and it may put people off, its really not fair. They agreed they would come in the morning of our departure instead of 9pm on the night before and would also amend this on Sykes. They came at 4am, woke us up emptying, cleaning and refilling the hot tub! Ridiculous and selfish. I asked why they would do this and she replied we said we would come in the morning instead of 9pm, but 4am! Really! Thats a joke. I never got an apology. I would like to recommend they get a hot water tap to refil it as thats what we did when we had one. Also the bbq was full of old coals when we arrived, luckily we didnt want one. The bed sheets did not fit to tuck under and the quilt was not big enough, super long but short width wise, you couldnt turn it as it was just a slit, no press studs or zip. I wont mention the other problems but really think people need to know this part. We asked for a late check out which they said would be 50 for 2 hours but then said we could have an 11.30 check out free of charge because of their mistake on Sykes. They have got really good reviews and I would never have done this if I had got an apology for the hot tub. I have used Sykes for years now and never had to write a review like this. I would always point out any small negatives in an email to the owner but this could not be missed. It really spoilt our last night.

We had a great time, and we loved the location. My favourite was looking at the stars in a very dark sky in the hot tub.

Our Lake Farm Cottage review: Lovely cottage, ideal for s short getaway

Excellent cottage and location. Very well equipped, warm and comfortable.

A delightful cottage in a peaceful location. Cosy and comfortable. The hot tub was a bonus as was in our case there being an electric charger for our car. Joe and Charlotte made us feel very welcome. One or two little extras would be helpful, hook on the door in the bathroom for robes and maybe a teapot and a milk jug for the kitchen, otherwise everything was perfect. A most enjoyable stay. Thank you Charlotte for the welcome pack. We hope to visit again.

This was a lovely little cottage which is nicely furnished and very cosy inside with underfloor heating. The owners are close by and very helpful and attentive. The location is stunning, with lots of walks into the remote countryside, and the nearby lake is stunning. The hot tub was very handy and nice and relaxing perfect after a long walk

An outstanding cottage, perfect for a getaway for a couple or, as I did, on your own. Everything is very well done and in great condition, with beautiful decor and in a very relaxing setting. Highlights are many, but to pick out just some I'd say the bed is huge and comfort, the wet room bathroom great, hot tub is fabulous and the living room and kitchen really well done. Plenty of good quality cutlery and crockery too. The finish and attention to detail all round is superb. And the owners are great friendly, helpful and discrete. It was a pleasure to meet them when I arrived. In the property and when you've booked they provide lots of helpful info to make the stay really enjoyable. The area is a beautiful one, with lots to see and do within very short distance. Fountains Abbey, Masham, Ripon are on the doorstep and it's very easy to find great stuff to see and do. If you want a relaxing getaway in a very cozy and well put together property then don't hesitate to book!
