Church Farm Annex

• "We had a lovely time at Church Farm Annex."

  The cottage was ideal for the two of us and had everything we needed …. Including Anne’s home made jam and fresh eggs! The cottage is in a great location and a great base to explore the Yorkshire Dales, and we thoroughly enjoyed the walk down to Fountains Abbey.

• "Myself, my husband, our 2 daughters (aged 1 & 3) & our 2 dogs stayed here."

  Overall, I am so pleased, in terms of convience, the annex had it all. The welcome pack, even down to having shower gel in the bathroom was great. The only thing I struggled with, I know it is dog friendly - but everything really did smell of dog. The sofa/cushions etc. We have 2 x mini cavapoo's who don't malt as I am allergic to a lot of other dog breeds, so this was quite tough and I did need antihistamines for the whole duration of the stay. The bedroom window was always soaked too, I'm not sure if this was condensation but it made the bedroom damp. As a family of 4, I wouldn't stay again as it was just too small. We was out majority of the time and it was a great base - Close to a lot. But I probably wouldn't recommend if you have children, for a couple it would be great. Overall, it was a good stay. I do feel the cleanliness could be improved slightly but we was very grateful for the welcome pack and it was a comfortable stay.

• "A well presented cottage adjoining the house of the host."

  Beautiful views over the dales and sheep grazing outside window. Good walks from the cottage or travel into Harrogate or Ripon for a day out. Cottage was clean and tidy but does have low ceilings upstairs which didn't bother us. Anne the owner left a lovely welcome pack which was delicious. The sofa we found uncomfortable but bed was ok. WiFi was a bit intermittent at times but didn't matter to us. Pub literally across the road for a sneaky pint or meal. Very quite at night, no noise except an occasional sheep. We would definitely return and recommend this cottage.

• "The cottage provided the perfect base for exploring Yorkshire in every direction."

  My dog and I were warmly welcomed by Anne and the 'Welcome pack' was really appreciated; delicious eggs from the hens. I'd packed a 10 metre lead which was the perfect length for keeping my dog within the garden (the chicken enclosure being 10 metres from the door, on the other side of a low wall.). A bonus was the quiz night at the local pub! We made frequent visits to the nearby G&T's ice cream parlour which even does a doggy ice cream. I'd definitely recommend this cottage and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

  Great location (close to the very lovely Ripon) with everything we needed for a couple of nights stay. We read the comments about the sofa but we found it very comfortable. The welcome pack was very much appreciated, the eggs in particular were delicious,

  There were some nice touches like homemade jam, eggs from her chickens and milk in the fridge. The cottage is ideally situated for visiting Ripon,Harrogate, Fountains Abbey, Pately Bridge. It was warm and comfortable and it was lovely to hear the owls in the evening and see the stars on a clear night with little light pollution.

• "The property is compact, but makes very good use of the available space, making a comfortable, bright and welcoming base for a couple."

  The owner is friendly without being intrusive, and helpful, for example taking delivery of a package while we were out, and leaving some useful supplies for our arrival. All very clean and well equipped. TV reception and WiFi are variable, due to the general conditions of the area. Plenty of room to park our car. The nearby Sawley Arms is welcoming, with good food and drink, and holds quiz nights and special eating events.

  The place was very clean and tidy. Upstairs the bed is comfy, but be warned the sloping roof line may catch you out a couple of times until you get used to it - not a big deal though. The WiFi was a bit hit and miss during our stay, so maybe don't plan on doing lots of zoom calls! We weren't bothered by this though, there's all of Yorkshire to explore outside!

  The views of the dales from the annex are lovely, the rooms are all clean, comfortable, warm and peaceful, our dog loved it! Plenty of space on the drive, easy access and we loved seeing her chickens in the pen. Only thing would be if you have a dog who likes to jump over small walls, a long line would be a better option, and she kindly has a lead ground stake by the front door to use. We would love to come back with no hesitation, and hope to come back soon!

• "The cottage was well equipped and beautifully located, 2 minutes from the pub, and a short drive from several sites of interest."

  The proprietor was very welcoming. Our one quibble was with regard to the upstairs part of the property. The bedroom was cramped, there was no room for any furniture except the double bed and two small bedside tables. The ceilings in the bedroom, the bathroom and the walk-in wardrobe (off the bathroom) sloped sharply. I think if you are over about 5 foot 6 inches, or at all uncertain on your feet, you might want to give this property a miss.

• "This cottage is not a "relaxing retreat" nor is it a "splendid cottage" worthy of 4 ticks!"

  Some of the photographs on the website are misleading - the reduced headspace in the bathroom and the bedroom is more severe than the pictures suggest. The bathroom has no hooks or shelves - the window ledge has to be used for towels etc etc. More bending! The bedroom has a bed and two side tables. No wardrobe, no dressing table. The garden is shared and is used very regularly by the family - during our stay a bank holiday family barbecue with 7 adults and four young children jumping on a large trampoline only 50 feet from the cottage door hardly qualifies for a 'rural retreat" The same children on the same trampoline etc. continued on another day. Nothing wrong with all this - except that cannot be described as a "relaxing retreat" for guests. Mrs. Iseley is a charming, friendly and helpful host. The cottage is surrounded by farm land and has a lovely environment. She welcomed us with roses, a welcome pack - including fresh eggs. Sykes needs to make sure the right clients go there. It was certainly not a week worth £470!
