This splendid town house rests within the pretty village green adjacent to St. Anne's Church on one side and Brough Beck on the other, a fabulous situation in North Yorkshire, with local amenities right on the doorstep.

With two fully equipped kitchens occupying modern fixtures and helpful appliances, and comfortable sitting rooms enhanced by additional heating, what more could you ask for in a Yorkshire holiday let? Stylish décor and a thoughtful choice of furnishings add a touch of character to the place, whilst delightful views can be seen across Low Green and the charming beck flowing through, with a pleasant spot to catch your rest on the cosy window seat. A fabulous set of bedrooms can be found upstairs, bright and airy some with built-in storage space and uplifting colour schemes for that wonderful home-from-home experience. To the exterior you will find a beautiful sunny patio, also enjoy the relaxing hot tub which seats up to 6.There is also a private sauna. Enjoy some time away from the main house in the games room; here you can compete in a table football match, darts or a snooker session, hours of fun for the whole family. However, if you're feeling particularly active, the private gym room provides ample machinery to challenge your strengths.

I think the owners have become complacent, the imagoes on the listing donât portray the property accurately. The property is tired and needs some attention. In the first morning I did contact the owners who were very responsive and sent a handyman very quickly, I had reported that the heater in the attic room was broken, the shower in the en-suite didnât drain, the kettle needed to be condemned and that a number of door handles kept coming off. The property is lovely and quite old so this needs to be taken into consideration, however this doesnât excuse paint needing to be touched up in many places and tired furnishings. The separate games room is great and nice and warm. The advert lists a sauna and a gym, both of these were not operational, the sauna had cables in it and the gymâs floor had been taken up so was not usable and unsafe. I didnât see anyone come to treat the hot tub with chlorine whilst we were there, they may have done but I doubt it. We have been to many houses as this is an annual trip, it was disappointing, there was no welcome pack, or pack of information about the local area or how to use things in the house (if there was one we didnât find it). The DVD player in the small living room didnât work properly, Indiana Jones is in it on repeat but it doesnât play. There are a few nails stickling out of floor boards which are dangerous to bare feet, definitely recommend wearing slippers. There was no kindling for the fire. Iâm not sure how often Sykes Cottages visit the properties they are promoting but looking at this one I think it needs to be more often as this experience has not encouraged us to use Sykes again for our trip next year. It is also important that visitors report things that are wrong as I imagine most of the time it is the cleaners who see the houses, not the owners. I do not feel we have received value for money.

The first time was 4 yrs ago. Enjoyed it then and enjoyed it this time too. Great location and a lovely friendly local pub nearby. Great to have the hot tub, gym and sauna. Accommodations great for up to 14 people.

..the house is tired, there were no instructions for anything, no guest book etc. Some of the appliances were not great, a broken fridge in the kitchen, a poor oven in the main kitchen small things which could be fixed/replaced relatively cheaply. The house has damp issues, it's an old house I get it, but it's not help with a poorly ventilated loft shower room...the sauna is great but needs some TLC, the hot tub is great but needs a canopy to keep some of the outside out....but in spite of all this it remains a good house....and leave on a positive the beds are the best I have slept in of any holiday rental
