About this property
Nestled at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds and resting within the quaint village of Brantingham, is this inviting abode, 5 Pond View Cottages. While boasting a beautiful finish throughout, with views of the village green and duck pond, this terraced cottage has certainly retained its warm, country-style ambiance, making a superb base for couples or small families looking to explore the area. Enter directly into the sitting room, offering ample seating from which you can kick back and unwind before the electric stove, with a flat screen TV for entertainment. Fulfilling your culinary requirements is this well-equipped kitchen, which comes with all the necessities for a week long break, including a gas range cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer and even a washer/dryer if you adventures take off on a muddier route. Head upstairs to find the bedrooms, comprised of a king-size and single room, uplifted by bright colour tones and crisp bed linen. A refreshing bathroom completes the interior, with a lush roll-top bath where you can recover after a day of walking, along with a walk-in shower cubicle, wash basin and WC. Spend a moment or two in the south-facing patio, listening to the birdsong with your morning cup of coffee in hand, the ultimate way to achieve true tranquility. The heartbeat of the village is most certainly the contemporary country pub, which is located just a few yards away; kick back and relax with some locally sourced seasonal food, cooked to perfection. For those searching for a taste of adventure, there are plenty of scenic walks from the doorstep, as well as several enjoyable cycle routes across the Yorkshire Wolds.

Cottage is very cosy and in a lovely village. We've stayed in lots of Sykes cottages and nearly every one leaves a lovely welcoming pack..ie milk, tea, coffee and sometimes even biscuits, wine and bread. There was nothing, not even a welcome note/card. The kitchen sink smells, the dishwasher filter was clogged with fat and old food. The shower plug cover was filthy. The plughole in the downstairs loo is rusty. There was no pepper, the cutlery was mixed and matched, very poor standard. Non stick frying pans were of a very cheap quality and the non stick had been badly scratched. I read that the skirting boards were dirty...still dirty. The overall impression was that of minimal effort for maximum profit. We spent over £550 for 5 nights. Definitely not worth that. The weather was lovely and we decided to have a BBQ on the Thursday night, imagine our absolute disgust to find the BBQ rusted, filthy and full of cigarette stubs. Outrageous really and made us feel physically sick. The owners really must try a lot better and improve the cleanliness standards. I have lots of evidential pictures of you'd like them. Very disappointed indeed.

Beautiful inside with comfy furnishings. Tastefully furnished and decorated, not over cluttered with nic nacs A little lacking on mugs and cookware. There was only two decent size mugs with three smaller ones(one having a chip). Considering there is a 12 piece dishwasher more mugs could have been provided. One thing that is missing from the description of the property is that there is a downstairs toilet which is a great bonus to any property, very nearly didn't book this cottage as we thought only had one toilet We knew that there wouldn't be a welcome pack but a pint of milk would have been appreciated especially as we had travelled quite a long way We felt more clear 'lines' would be a benefit for defining parking area for each property . The shower cubicle is small and the actual shower was difficult to regulate the temperature, but on the plus side it had good pressure . As we brought our dog it would be useful to provide information on local walks and maps Overall we had a very comfortable stay

Very bad mould around the windows, dirty skirtings, debris under lounge chair and under the chair cushions. Attention to detail was average. The provisions were also very basic, had to buy salt & pepper. Only 2 wine glasses; one was badly chipped as were cups. Stayed in a nearby cottage and it was amazing in comparison - it was immaculate, excellent quality and very well equipped and only slightly more expensive.
