The Mill House Reviews

Wonderful property! Our second time here. Quiet area, great little shared paddock for dogs and good for walking from the front door. Cottage cleaned and decorated to a very high standard! Beds comfortable and linen good quality! Lovely spending time in the hot tub after a days walking . Sad to leave and would certainly return
Robert
Hot tub heaven with a dash of the countryside thrown in. Spent lots of time satellite watching and stargazing. Ideal base for all that Yorkshire has to offer. Facilities were excellent and the cottage was well laid out.
A lovely clean cottage exactly as sold on the pictures
Wow, absolutely fantastic cottage. We were blown away by the standard of the cottage. We had such a lovely time, we did not want to leave. We would highly recommend this cottage and we look forward to coming back with friends. Loved the hot tub and star gazing , this just topped it off. Thanks so much
Could not have booked anywhere better . From the accommodation, location and welcome we received when checking into The Mill House. Everything has been done to a high standard, will definitely be going back for another visit
The mill house was simply beautiful, we loved it so much we have already booked our next stay .
Antony
This UK staycation was an absolute hidden gem that we are so pleased we stumbled across on Sykes. The photographs of the location and decor do this property absolute justice and the detail put in by the owners for our stay was on point. Very clean, well laid out living and bedroom areas, great modern touches like the electronic Vellux blindswindows upstairs, and all kitchen appliances, cleaning and cooking materials you think youd need. We could quite possibly turn up and still have all we needed for our trip which made the stay more comfortable the moment we arrived. We arrived to the barn set up with twinkle lights on the beams and a perfectly decorated Christmas tree to top off the decor for our winter visit in NovemberDecember. We recommend definitely booking a long visit here and to take advantage of the local places to visit like Thursk, Ripon Abbey National trust, York, Leeds and some other local treasures. 2 large supermarkets about a 15 minute drive away, and with full kitchen amenities you didnt even need to leave the barn and often enjoyed a lock in playing board games, enjoying the log fire and the hot tub great outside space especially if you are a bird, aeroplane or star watcher as the sky was so clear! We visited a dog friendly pub called The Black Horse, Kirklington, for a Sunday Roast and to watch some sport. The owners were so friendly and the meal was so good we went back again later in the week for their midweek set menu. The Pub dog Lenny was a charmer and made each guest feel special the minute they walked through the door. We would definitely recommend you to bring a vehicle to get about to neighbouring villages there is also electric vehicle charging available but the local walks with the dog were just beautiful. Not even a negative to say apart from we kept the curtains closed to have more privacy from the courtyard in between the other properties on site and suggest a larger TV screen to fill the ample space in the living area. We are looking out for available dates for us to book to come back as it was the most relaxing birthday station we have had since we started using Sykes Holidays. Thank you very much for an amazing stay!
