I am the partner of the person who booked our trip to Yearsley.
We booked for 5 nights but left a day early for a variety of reasons. The cottage is in a nice location but isolated. Yearsley is almost a collection of houses with no shops, pubs or any services. Therein lies a problem because you have to travel for food, meals or anything which may be a need. The roads surrounding Yearsley are narrow, and dangerous to drive on, making any journey hazardous. When you arrive at a town of note, you will have great difficulty in finding a parking space. Travelling in this area is a nightmare. The biggest problem of all, although it was well advertised was the Wi Fi. It is identified as being intermittent. This is not true because it is not intermittent, it is NON existent. Myself and my partner rely on the internet and this was one of reasons for leaving the cottage early. Had we known then we would never have booked.
The bedroom and bathroom were very good. The kitchen and living room less so.
No microwave. Expected but wasn’t advertised. I thought today that a microwave was an essential.
The furniture was a mixture of old an new. Ancient table and chairs. Side tables of the 70s era. The comfortable sofa advertised was old and worn.
More attention should paid to paying guests. Prices are way too high for what is offered and the site cannot be reached this morning 24/6/2021 on a Sykes Cottage.
I will not return to North Yorks and Yearsley and the 4 days we spent there were a waste of money and effort.
A further problem was mobile phone service. Very hit and miss. Oh, and don’t try to get to a Malton from Yearsley. You will find roads blocked in every which way.
We could booked a great hotel in the area for far less money.
