Sykes Staff have been nothing but friendly and accommodating, they were not to fault for our unsatisfactory stay.
The property however had dust webs left in corners (despite cleaners) and offered no QR code/Covid guidelines, no antibacterial hand wash or sanitiser (good job we took our own). We were greeted by a wasps nest by the front door obviously using the propertyâs roof. The door with its large double glass windows offered no privacy from passers by using the shared drive and communal laundry room given the fact the shower and toilet were right behind it which resulted in us having to hang a towel over the door. The pictures of the garden were misleading. It clearly shows a grass area which had been cordoned off and belonged to another property which only left the stoned area you see in the pictures which would have been fantastic if it werenât for the fact they are not friendly to the paws of our fury friends which meant our pet friendly get away wasnât in fact so pet friendly at all and his off lead play time went out the window. The directions to the property are not clear, even using âwhat four wordsâ we had difficulty. In the end we were forced to contact Sykes which then had to contact the owners who added another couple of steps to the directions. Frankly if it werenât for the fact we had to rely on a family member for travel and our signal was so spotty we never would have stayed.

This is our 2nd stay to Ford End Cottage in 6 months and it was just as fantastic as in November.
We even got to sit in the small sunny garden this time! The views from all the upstairs windows were even better as it's late spring, so all the trees are in leaf. Probably the best view was from the en-suite bathroom as we could see horses in the field beyond the cottage. We received another very warm welcome from Lucy. She is such a brilliant, friendly and responsive host and she really does go the extra mile for her guests. We noticed a couple of people in earlier reviews requested more hanging space in 2 bedrooms and the ability to park a 2nd car on the property and she had already sorted it all out. Lucy asked us to let her know during our stay if anything could be improved but we found the cottage still exceeds our expectations in every way. Lucy is a photographer and it was a lovely touch that she has put a copy of her photography book of Ampleforth in the cottage for guests to enjoy. It is a love letter to the village and its villagers and made for a lovely personal touch. We will be back, thank you, Lucy and Will!

Very friendly and superbly helpful host.
The cottage is a Tardis (luckily no daleks) and much more spacious than we expected. Everything is tasteful and immaculately presented. It turned cold during our stay but the cottage was lovely, bright and warm. Beautiful country views from all 3 bedrooms. The beds are high quality and the village is very quiet, we slept like logs. There are 2 full bathrooms upstairs plus a shower room downstairs. The website doesnât show the large entrance hall where you can leave all your shoes and coats. Kitchen very well equipped and there was tea, milk, coffee and bread on arrival plus a good supply of logs, you can buy more off the owner next door. We could park 2nd car easily on the road outside. Ampleforth itself is very pretty with 2 friendly pubs serving excellent food, a great coffee shop plus a small, well stocked village shop. All are on the same road as the cottage within 5 minutes walk. We canât give 6 stars sadly so 5/5 will have to suffice! We will be back, a fantastic stay thank you.

We stayed at Ford End Cottage in May this year and totally loved our time there.
The cottage is situated peacefully away from the road going through Ampleforth which meant that we slept so well being gently woken by the birds singing and the spring sunshine. Ampleforth is a charming, peaceful village with good amenities. It was wonderful to arrive after a long journey and find that the kitchen was stocked with bread, milk, tea, coffee and sugar. The cottage is very cosy and immaculate with a modern kitchen stocked with everything that you could possibly need. The kitchen opens into a lovely courtyard garden which was a wonderful sun trap and totally secluded. Lucy is a fantastic host â nothing is too much trouble. I hope we have the opportunity to stay again and would heartily recommend this cottage.

I think we were possibly the first to book this property. We were not disappointed. A lovely property with quality fittings and some really nice features. Very comfy beds and excellent bathrooms in all three bedrooms. Small patio outside which seemed to get the sun for most of the day (well it was there whenever we went out). Gated location (make sure you have the code ready) and private parking. Only one space but there are at least a couple of visitor spaces. The house/cottage is in a perfect location literally 1 minute walk from the market square and all the great cafes, pubs and restaurants. And then there are the beautiful walks from Helmsley. We will definitely try and come back and explore more of the area.
