We had the most wonderful time here. The area is beautiful and my children loved the freedom of running through the fields! We loved the peace and quiet of the countryside and anything you could need is available only ten minutes away at catterick garrison (supermarkets, shops, food etc) The cottage was spotless and cosy, very comfortable and a perfect place to escape to. We visited Richmond, leyburn, forbidden corners and the Wensleydale creamery and had the most wonderful week. We can’t wait to return here and spend some more time here. The views are just outstanding and we felt like we were in a home from home. Thank you to Jayne who was a perfect host and really made us feel welcome

Lovely holiday home, very spacious and comfortable.. Great if you want to get away from it all, surrounded by fields and sheep, very peaceful.

Thoroughly nice farm house with a very caring owner.. Highly recommended.
Mr Duke
February 2019
It was perfect for a holiday with two four year olds and a toddler.. It was roomy and safe. A gate was provided for the stairs. The living kitchen was great for family meals. There was a wonderfully safe garden with fantastic views and as the cottage is on a farm, there were animals to see. The utiltity room was very useful for storing all the coats and shoes after being out and about. The bedrooms were warm, adequately furnished with super views. The bathroom was always warm. The owner was delightful and very chatty and friendly. The holiday was a complete success and I would say that the cottage was key in making it so. Thank you Jayne.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas break at Sunnyside Cottages.. The owner Jayne had kindly decorated the house with Christmas trees and decorations,we also really appreciated the kind welcome gift of chocolates and wine. The house was very clean and comfortable and a great get away from the business of Xmas. It is well located with nearby walks and places of interest. Jayne was incredibly friendly and welcoming and made us feel very much at home. We would recommend this property to others. (Despite the online description stating there was no wifi ,this has now been installed, although we were happy to escape from technology).

What a fantastic place - so clean, tidy and well equipped - BRILLIANT.. We will definitely be booking again. The owner was lovely, the setting perfect - what a find!!! The area is lovely, plenty to do, but we were quite happy to stay in front of the beautiful fire.
Miss Corps
September 2018
We had a fantastic stay, the only downside was the lack of Wi-Fi because phone signal is very limited at the farm.. Everything else was fantastic and I would highly recommend it.
Mrs Mccluskey

Owners very helpful and friendly.. Cottage authentic, peaceful and spacious. Relaxing place.
Mrs Parker
July 2018
We had a wonderful holiday at Sunnyside cottage - all as described and even a mobile phone reception in bedroom 2.. Our stay was clearly helped by the superb weather. The owner, Jayne, was extremely helpful but unobtrusive. The surroundings and views cannot be beaten in our opinion. A restful, peaceful and enjoyable stay and we would certainly stay again in the future.
Mrs Waspe

Fantastic house, lovely owner, stunning location with perfect peace and quiet.. A definite cottage to rent if you want to get away from the rushing around of day to day life. We will certainly look to go again in the future. Thank you so much to Jayne and Sykes. A very memorable holiday.
Ms Smith

We had a lovely break.. The scenery was wonderful, with terrific views all round the cottage and a peaceful garden to enjoy the sunshine. There are lots of sights and good walking territory within easy reach of the cottage. The accommodation was spacious with plenty of room for all party members to follow their own activities.
Ms Garner

We have stayed here before and will definitely be going back.. Very quiet and stunning scenery. Ample space in the farmhouse. Highly recommended.
Mr Brunschede
October 2017
Very spacious cottage, fully equipped.. Lovely rooms, very quiet, but near to Richmond, Leyburn and Catterick so it were only small distances to shopping and to great walks in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.
Mr Davies
August 2017
Had a wonderful relaxing time in this lovely cottage, great location and views , lovely host and very friendly and gave us some good tips on things to see and do in the local area, our three children loved the freedom to make as much noise as they liked as only the sheep could hear them, can, t recommend highly enough for a getaway from it all break..
Mrs Allcock

No mobile phone reception or wi-fi.. There is a landline telephone which was very useful to have.
Mrs Millard

We really enjoyed our holiday at Sunnyside Cottage. The owner is lovely and very welcoming. The large comfortable farmhouse is ideal for a peaceful holiday and is an ideal base for walking or to visit the many attractions and lovely towns in the area. We had a lovely holiday and I would definitely recommend Sunnyside Cottage.
Ms Walker

The owner is absolutely wonderful, a joy to meet! The setting is glorious and the garden brilliant, safe for children. I would certainly return another time.
Mrs Lumby

This is a lovely big old farmhouse which is in a very quiet and peaceful area. The owners were very nice and helpful and were only a phone call away if you had any problems. There was lots of space for everyone to move around without being on top of each other. The garden is a lovely grassed area fenced off from the main yard so is great for children. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return at some point in the future.
Mr Hole
November 2015
What a great place to stay. Perfectly remote but easy to get to with a fantastic host. The owner greeted us just after arrival and was very helpful. The views were breathtaking and we could come and go as we pleased without having to worry about making too much noise. I'd recommend this place to anyone!
Mrs Hall

We enjoyed the relaxing and comfortable Cottage. It was in a convenient spot for visiting Richmond, Leyburn, Reeth and a nostalgic visit to Langthwaite, our first visit to the Dales 38 years ago. We would definitely stay there again.
Mrs Wilson
April 2015
Very relaxed homely, comfortable environment which provided an excellent base for us all. We had plenty space for us, our three growing grandchildren their parents. The grassed, enclosed outdoor garden was also ideal. The location too was very convenient for lots of popular local attractions scenic walks. Overall a very enjoyable holiday was spent here.

We were 5 'girl'friends (all 50 something) from Holland, sharing this beautiful cottage for autumn break 2014. We needed 5 separate beds, which this cottage has. All in beautiful bedrooms, all with a view. There are two living rooms, but we did not set foot in them: we were either outside (we were very lucky with the weather), roaming the Dales or hanging in the cosy kitchen/dining area. We loved the atmosphere, the space around us, all the little details in which the caring of the owner was visible and the location. Close to so many beautiful hiking routes, close to Reeth that we love for years, and very close to the Bolton Arms in Downholme that we love now too, for its hospitality and great food. There is a huge utility room that was very handy for all our stuff. The bedrooms have great beds. The bathrooms are nice and well equiped. When we arrived a bottle of wine was waiting for us, and after a few days the owner, such a nice lady, came to check on us. For us city girls it was great fun to spend time on this spot, for which we had to open 3 gates to get trough with our car, waving away the Swaledale tubs (sheep). We felt so at home and at peace and we were really sad to leave. The cottage has no wifi (which we did not miss anyway).
Miss Cremers
October 2014
We were 5 friends (all girls over 50, Dutch) sharing this fabulous cottage together. We needed 5 separate beds and we are in love with Swaledale. Everything was above expectations. We hope to come back here as soon as possible, we were sad to leave.
Mrs Hindmarch
September 2014
We were made to feel very welcome by the owner. The house was comfortable and well-equipped with many little extra touches - magazines, toys, all types of kitchen equipment etc - so that we really felt at home. The location was amazing - perhaps the most peaceful place I have ever stayed but on a working farm so it still felt part of the real world. A perfect place for a break for the extended family.
Mrs Berry
September 2014
Fantastic holiday location for the family - we will definitely be back next year! The house was the perfect size for all 6 of us, and it was so peaceful and quiet. The scenery was amazing and it was nice being surrounded by the animals and fields. Our 9 year old and 6 year old boys loved playing football and cricket in the garden and enjoyed seeing all the animals every day. We all can't wait to come back.
Ms Vickerson
September 2014
Really enjoyed our time away at Sunnyside. The owner is so nice and welcoming. In a remote location but ideal for a peaceful weekend and for 6 ladies to get away. The house is very cosy and the views from the garden are stunning. Will definitely recommend and re visit.
Rev Child
August 2014
The size of the Cottage, coupled with the surrounding space was excellent - perfect for a large family with kids who want to run around. The location is also fantastic - a great base to explore much of the area without straying too far from home. The owner was available without being intrusive, and was extremely helpful, welcoming and accommodating. The kids are already asking when we can go back!
Mr Jay
June 2014
The cottage was very spacious with plenty of room for 6 adults and a child to spread out. The quiet location and beautiful countryside make for a restful and relaxing holiday. The property is an old farm house which has been thoughtfully restored, retaining the character of the building, whilst giving it all modern amenities.The owner was very welcoming and friendly, providing very useful information on the local area. I would certainly stay here again and would not hesitate to recommend it.
Mrs McDermott
June 2014
A large, spacious and private property with a very well equipped kitchen. Children could play safely in a large secure garden and there were fantastic views from the farm. Owner was particularly friendly and extremely helpful regarding information on local shops etc. Went home thoroughly relaxed and with every intention of returning.

A fabulous week at Sunniside Cottage was enjoyed by all age ranges. All rooms were very spacious, clean and well appointed. Plenty of room to have Family BBQ and garden was safe haven for children to play in. Plenty of information in cottage but Owner was excellent source for best places to walk, visit, shop, eat etc. Wonderful holiday on all fronts.
Mrs Cammack
May 2014
The size of the property was brilliant, there was 5 of us in the party and it gave us enough space not too be on top of each other. The cottage was in the perfect situation to get to various attractions without having to travel too far. The owners were lovely and very helpful, would definitely stay again.
Mr Burgess

Enjoyed every minute at Sunnyside cottage. Was perfect for us and the children. Plenty of room inside. A fabulous garden with spectacular views. The owners were so lovely. Would definitely recommend staying at Sunnyside Cottage.
Mrs Sadler
September 2013
The location, garden and size of property was ideal for my family break. My granddaughter could play in safety. The area is well located for travelling to other towns. Pub in Downholme was excellent for evening meals. The owners were very pleasant, and the property was nice and clean when we arrived. The experience was very special.

A large farmhouse on a working farm offering plenty of room for a family holiday. A little remote - no pubs within easy walking distance so a car is definitely needed. Some lovely villages nearby with Leyburn close for everyday shopping with a good market. The owner was very welcoming and quick to respond to any requests or queries. The house was very cold when we arrived and took a few days to really warm up, but then it was snowy outside and it made the log fire all the more welcome.

This was an excellent place to stay, lots of places to eat and good food to buy. Lots of lovely places to visit. really enjoyed Bolton castle and trip on train as well as quiet days only gazing out at the moors. The army, god bless them for keeping us safe, were never a problem. They keep this area like it was 30 years ago, no development or houses built in the countryside. The house was warm, the beds comfortable, pub at Downholm had great food and was very busy, a must as was the Italian restaurant in Richmond. I loved the view of Walburn Hall. Most memorable, hope to return.
Mrs Taylor

Lovely situation, cottage was warm and everything was up to standard expected. The owner was very welcoming and friendly. We loved every minute of our time there. Visited lots of places we wanted to see and ate lots of delicious ice cream.
Mr Sands
July 2012
A peaceful location with only the sheep and cattle for company. Very comfortable accommodation with cosy coal fires. Spacious farmhouse with a ground floor toilet and shower for the less agile visitor. The owner made us very welcome and provided extras for the unseasonal weather.

Sunnyside cottage was an ideal venue for our three generation family holiday, it really did appeal to all ages. The cottage was fantastic, well equiped and furnished with everything you could possibly need. It is well located for many days out or was homely enough to just stay in and relax. The owners of the cottage live near by and are very welcoming and helpful. I could not find any faults with the accomodation and cant wait to return. Thank you for a fantastic week.
Mrs Bland
November 2011
The cottage and location were excellent. We were away with two young children and a baby and the facilities were excellent. We were made very welcome by the owners of the cottage who lived near by.
Mrs Mould

Great location. Very friendly and welcoming owners who took a lot of trouble to ensure that everything was aright and provided the little extras which made the holiday special.
Mrs Russell
September 2011
This is a very child friendly property-very safe large fenced area (grass) for play. Very friendly/helpful owner. Have booked same property for 2012!
Mr Jones
August 2011
It was obvious the owner took great care of, and pride in the property. The owner took time to ensure we had settled-in and that there was nothing more we needed. The location was remote enough to be nice and quiet, but not too far from 'essentials'. The location also gave easy and quick access to many beautiful locations in the Yorkshire Dales. I would highly recommend this to others!

We have just come back from a wonderful week.The owners were so welcoming - and are on hand about a 5 minute drive away if we needed anything. The cottage is the old farmhouse from the (still working) farm: perfect setting with beautiful views. Huge secure garden great for football and cricket. Short drive from a range of beautiful walks, castles, teashops and waterfalls. We particularly loved Middleham and Askrigg. The cottage was spotless and very comfortable with everything we needed. Highly recommended.
