    “Small cottage in Stokesley, with 1 twin and one double bedroom, ideally situated with great facilities on the doorstep and parking directly outside on a first come first served basis.”

    Please be aware that there is no outside space with this cottage and only 1 door at the front of the property. Cottage is very small downstairs with an adequate kitchen area opening into a small seating/lounge area, there is no separate eating area but a drop leaf table is provided for meals or you can eat meals on your knees which is what we tended to do. Seating in the lounge needs attention there is one new chair which is comfortable but the small armchair and sofa have seen better days ...

    Please be aware that there is no outside space with this cottage and only 1 door at the front of the property. Cottage is very small downstairs with an adequate kitchen area opening into a small seating/lounge area, there is no separate eating area but a drop leaf table is provided for meals or you can eat meals on your knees which is what we tended to do. Seating in the lounge needs attention there is one new chair which is comfortable but the small armchair and sofa have seen better days and could do with replacing in our opinion. Bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds and lovely cotton bedding . We all slept well. Stairs in the property are very steep but there is a good solid handrail however I would think it is not a property suited to the elderly /infirm.

    Firstly, thank you for your feedback. I am very proud of the College Square cottage that has consistently been rated highly by visitors (Ave. 4.7 over 49 reviews). In regard to your feedback I feel I must must correct your first statement that the cottage has no outside space. The property in fact benefits from a cobbled south facing forecourt to the front of the property with bench seating and table - refer to image 16. In addition there is good access to dog/walking routes within easy reach of the property. In terms of the direct comments regarding soft furnishings; the quality vintage leather sofa referred to is feather rather than foam-filled; as a consequence the sofa naturally has an inviting cosy look as opposed to a formal appearance. Therefore may I suggest that this is a question of personal style and taste rather than "having seen better days" as stated? Further, to maintain a high standard of cleanliness wherever possible throws and loose covers are used so that they can be freshly laundered/changed out for newly arriving guests. A new armchair loose cover is already in progress and in the meantime the offending chair has been temporarily replaced I concur with you that this is perhaps a matter of personal opinion, however my belief is that neither piece is ready for the 'furniture graveyard'! In closing, I am disappointed that you found certain aspects of your stay not to your specific taste. However, I believe the Sykes narrative and cottage images provide an accurate and honest representation of the accommodation offered May I wish you the very best of luck in finding your perfect getaway in the future.

About the location

STOKESLEY

Great Ayton 3 miles; Saltburn-by-the–Sea 14 miles.

Stokesley is an attractive, elegant, historic market town which was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, with many interesting Georgian and Victorian buildings. The River Leven flows through the town and is crossed by the ancient Pack Horse Bridge. Levenside provides visitors with a peaceful riverside walk, well planted with trees, as a contrast to the bustle of the High Street. The town has a distinguished wide cobbled main street lined with Georgian and Regency buildings. It is well served with shops, banks, public houses and restaurants and the weekly Friday markets are held on the main square. Just off the market square is the Church of St Peter & St Paul which has woodwork carved by the Mouseman of Kilburn. Surrounded by the Cleveland Hills and close to the northern edge of the North York Moors, Stokesley provides an ideal base from which to explore the Yorkshire Dales, the heather clad North Yorkshire Moors and the pretty market towns of Great Ayton, Northallerton and Thirsk. The seaside spa resort of Saltburn is 30 mins drive away whilst Whitby, Runswick Bay and Robin Hoods Bay are within easy reach.
