“Our favourite holiday cottage destination set in a wonderful peaceful villagel location with walks in every direction.”

- Gavin, July 2026
Martin June 2026

“We loved the quiet location, set back from the village road.”

The Granary was well-equipped and comfortable, making it a perfect base to explore the moor. Having the excellent Moors Inn just along the road was a bonus. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

- Martin, June 2026
David June 2026

“We had a wonderful stay at the Granary.”

We spent all of our time in the conservatory when not out and about. When we arrived, my first job was to put the kettle on for a nice cup of tea. The cups were tea stained and the scourer looked as though it was in desperate need of replacement. We purchased new ones on our first day out. This was the only negative about our whole stay. The bed was super comfy and bedding crisp and white. The garden was beautiful and it was a joy to see the hens. The Granary was in a fab position for travelling around. We ate in the pub restaurant every night and found the staff and locals very friendly. Would definitely recommended The Granary for a visit to the North Yorkshire Moors.

- David, June 2026
Susan May 2026

“Lovely cottage with a peaceful view down the shared garden from the private patio.”

We really enjoyed our holiday there. Excellent choice of you want to explore the moors or the market towns and nearby attractions. Appleton le Moors itself is a picturesque village with a proper local pub. Everyone there is friendly and the food is very good.

- Susan, May 2026
Tanya May 2026

“We enjoyed a great week at the Granary.”

The sunroom provided a bright and peaceful space to relax. The location was a great base to explore the North Yorkshire Moors and we visited York and Whitby as well as local attractions such as Eden Camp.

- Tanya, May 2026
John May 2026

“Had a lovely stay with my granddaughter.”

Plenty of little villages to visit. Went to nunnington hall , the abbey ruins, James herriot museum. Cottage was peacefully and very well placed for various visits we made. Owners very nice and helpful even gave my granddaughter a book on churches as we love visiting churches which was awfully generous of them she loves the book

“We have just very much enjoyed our third visit to the Granary.”

The fourth is booked for later this year. That speaks for itself. We love it.

Susan December 2025

“Lovely cottage , lovely viilage with excellent food at the local pub.”

A bit disappointed when we arrived walked into a freezing cottage, mop and bucket and hoover left out and broken tree ornaments left on chair. Would have been more welcoming if a few lamps were left on and some heating. We would go back again but not in winter the cottage is very cold and the wall heaters are not really up to keeping it warm. The open fire is not as warm as a log burner. But clean and comfortable and good location.

- Susan, December 2025
Karan December 2025

“So sorry with the late review, I thought I had done one.”

The cottage was lovely, it had everything that we could of needed. The fire in the living room was amazing. The bedrooms were comfortable and warm. The owners were very helpfully and chatty. It was good to have a secured gate with a fob. The pub was very close at hand and they were very cheerful.Thank you for a great Christmas break.

- Karan, December 2025
Tim December 2025

“This was our fourth visit to the Granary which really tells its own story.”

We love the location, peaceful atmosphere & how the owners are on hand if needed, although we never do as there’s everything you need for a relaxing holiday. I hesitate to mention but one thing we noticed this time is the settee is probably near to being replaced but will not stop us booking again. Still a fabulous holiday cottage !

- Tim, December 2025
John November 2025

“Was an ok cottage, not amazing, underfloor heating not that good, other heaters didnt give much heat so used a portable heater when we were in the cottage, but, being december, we expected it not to be like it would be in the summer.”

the guys that owned it were very pleasant, very helpful.

- John, November 2025
St.john November 2025

“A lovely cottage and a great place to stay in North Yorkshire, plenty to see and do.”

The village is very quiet and the local pub very welcoming. It was our second stay at The Granary and we like it so much, we have booked it again for the same week next year!

- St.john, November 2025
Carmel July 2025

“We stayed at the Granary July 2025.”

From arriving, to leaving, we had the best time. It’s the first time we’ve stayed in a cottage for a holiday and will only do these holidays from now on. The Granary itself is just beautiful, set in the glorious Appleton-Le-Moors. Everything you can think of is catered for, from all your cutlery through to board games. The pub in the village called the Moors is great. The Granary owners are just the most attentive people, so kind, friendly and helpful. We’re never sad when it’s time for us to go home, but we were when we left here. We will definitely be returning

- Carmel, July 2025
Linda July 2025

“A lovely, tastefully furnished cottage that feels like a home from home.”

The garden room is fantastic and the grounds, including the owner's garden are beautiful. The cottage is well placed to explore the area. We had a meal at the local pub, the Moors Inn and it was superb. The only negative is that the small garden immediately outside the property isn't fenced in for dogs but we knew that when we booked. Thank you for a lovely stay

- Linda, July 2025

- Mike, May 2025
Patricia May 2025

“We had a wonderful week in this quiet, comfortable cottage.”

The sun room was perfect for chilling and we spent a lot time in there. The weather was perfect all week so we were also able to sit out on the patio. The Moors Inn is practically on the doorstep serving tasty food and is dog friendly. We will look to return in the future.

- Patricia, May 2025

- Christopher, February 2025
Nick February 2025

“Lovely, clean cottage, in our favourite place.”

Hosts were very friendly and accommodating and replied to our queries quickly prior to arriving. Beautiful garden which we could access fully with our dog. WiFi was poor and could benefit with boosting as the TV was constantly buffering. Apart from this minor detail, everything was perfect and as described

- Nick, February 2025
Pam December 2024

“This is our second stay at the Granary and we hope that it won’t be our last.”

The cottage is comfortable, warm and well maintained with a lovely garden. Its position is perfect, close to Pickering, Kirkbymoorside and Helmsley but in a beautiful quiet village with a fabulous pub serving wonderful food. What more could you ask for?

- Pam, December 2024
Tim September 2024

“This was our second visit to the Granary & we are already thinking about when we can go back.”

It has everything you need for a relaxing break, the conservatory is a brilliant place to unwind and the fire is great when it gets chilly. The owners are just across the driveway if needed which is good as they are very friendly. All in all 5* plus!!

- Tim, September 2024
Timothy September 2024

“A couple of minor issues with kitchen equipment were raised with the owner.”

Otherwise, this is a comfortable cottage in lovely quiet surroundings in which we felt very much at home.

- Timothy, September 2024
Louise August 2024

“Beautiful cottage with comfy beds, we were also delighted to find some milk for a cuppa on arrival and some delicious biscuits.”

The cottage is central to lots of site seeing spots, the hosts have loads of maps to help you, as signal for phones etc is patchy. Would suggest booking for dinners at any restaurants in advance to avoid disappointment. Would definitely go back!

- Louise, August 2024

- Olive, April 2024
John April 2024

“Lovely cottage, all that we hoped for.”

Might be a good idea to provide a child gate to prevent sod (this was a misprint but still correct!!!) dog from running up stairs! A lovely stay, we will be back!!

- John, April 2024

Perfect location to explore the area.

- Gavin, March 2024
Nicola February 2024

“We had a fabulous stay at the Granary.”

Set in a peaceful location, it's ideal for stunning walks in the area without the need to drive. We thoroughly enjoyed making use of the facilities especially the sun room during the day for reading or bird watching and the cosy fire in the evening. Well equipped, warm and surprisingly spacious, especially downstairs. Would definitely recommend!

- Nicola, February 2024
Christine February 2024

“Gorgeous cottage with all what you need for a short break.”

- Christine, February 2024
Pam November 2023

“We have stayed in a number of Sykes cottages and this was certainly the best to date.”

The cottage is small but very comfortable, with a lovely open fire and extremely comfortable beds. The garden room was a delight. The location is also wonderful. The Granary is within a lovely garden in a very quiet village but with easy access to the nearest supermarket (some five minutes away by car) and with the wonderful Moors Inn only three or four doors away. This is not only a superb dog friendly pub but it serves excellent food. We would suggest booking evening meals in advance before coming along to the cottage if you like to eat out. It is busy even on week nights. Would we return to the cottage again? Certainly and without hesitation. The Granary is highly recommended.

- Pam, November 2023
Karen November 2023

“Our second visit to The Granary, it is a comfortable cottage in a great location.”

The owners Jamie and Joel are welcoming and live adjacent to the cottage if needed. Comfortable beds and a lovely garden room ,two minute walk to The Moors Inn which does great food and is a traditional welcoming pub. In all another lovely week in Appleton -le- Moors.

- Karen, November 2023
Timothy September 2023

“A comfortable cottage in a peaceful location.”

- Timothy, September 2023
Robert June 2023

“The Granary is the perfect place for a quiet , peaceful and enjoyable stay.”

The cottage has everything you could possibly need for a great holiday and both Jamie & Joel were the perfect hosts. Surrounded by absolutely stunning countryside , the walks through the surrounding woods and countryside were a joy to behold. The local pub , The Moors Inn , just 4 doors down was the ideal place for an early evening relaxing pint or two after a long day and the food there was superb. So many wonderful villages all within easy reach to discover as well.

- Robert, June 2023

David April 2023

“Lovely cottage in a beautiful village.”

Thank you. Tastful, comfortable and peaceful location. Only slight snag was we couldn't get the TV to work other than catch up. It didn't matter to us as we were busy out and about but may need a look at for other guests?

- David, April 2023
Tim March 2023

“This is probably the finest holiday property we have stayed in.”

It’s in an amazing position, clean & the conservatory is lovely. The owners were just across the driveway if needed but we hardly saw them. They have gone to a lot of trouble in making sure you have everything you need. By the way, the fire is awesome . Thanks for a relaxing holiday!,

- Tim, March 2023
Stewart March 2023

Tom August 2022

“A happy return visit to this delightful cottage, tucked away in a spacious traditional village but close to the Moors and the delights of its towns.”

The owners are reassuringly on hand across the courtyard and - as always - made us welcome and dealt quickly with any questions or problems. Their amiable cat also said hello! It's well stocked with cooking utensils, equipment and big fridge; and there's now a handy Co-op supermarket less than 10 minutes away at Kirbymoorside, as well as a Jet petrol station. A charming patio garden makes sitting outside convenient in the summer. All in all highly recommendable, especially for a couple.

- Tom, August 2022
Elaine August 2022

“We had a lovely stay 5/12 Aug cottage beautiful location with brilliant views, however patio area not secure for dogs when dog friendly advertised they can wonder into owners own court yard & garden.”

Venue was brilliant with excellent pub 2mins walk & excellent food “Moor inn pub” fully recommend with lovely food & dogs very welcome. The furniture in cottage & patio could benefit from more comfortable seats however the cottage was ideal for our needs & we will return. Thank you Elaine & ken ball

- Elaine, August 2022

- Catherine, May 2022
Carole May 2022

“Beautiful cottage in a lovely spot.”

A particular feature is the garden. You had your own patio area but the owners allowed you use of their garden with your own garden bench under a tree and that made our holiday (and the dog’s!) It was lovely spot to relax in the evenings. When the temperature dipped a bit at night, the conservatory (which overlooked the garden was also a lovely relaxing place with comfy furniture and it was warm and cosy. The pub (only 4 doors down) was in our view the best pub in the area and the locals were so welcoming. The hosts (who live opposite) were also very friendly towards us and nothing seemed too much trouble. We will return!

- Carole, May 2022
Sandra May 2022

“The Granary is a lovely well equipped cottage with a superb garden room to relax in situated in a small peaceful village .”

Denis April 2022

“The location is wonderful, the gardens beautiful and the property very comfortable.”

The owners are on site to deal with any problems ,not that we had any . The local pub is friendly and the food looked very good. The Granary is well worth a visit.

- Denis, April 2022
Claire February 2022

“The Granary was a great place to stay, very comfortable and cosy with a lovely conservatory to enjoy a morning coffee whilst watching the wildlife in the garden, the kitchen was very well equipped with utensils although we did not need to use much as the pub a few doors down served excellent food!”

! Would love to come back here!!

- Claire, February 2022
Peter February 2022

- Peter, February 2022
Fleur February 2022

“Delightful cottage in a lovely village with a great local pub a few moments from the property.”

Peaceful area, with views overlooking the fields of sheep and the garden (which is shared with the owners - who live next door). Tastefully and attractively decorated, and we enjoyed the open fire given it was winter. Plenty of places to visit within an hour's drive of the cottage in all directions. It's a great spot!

- Fleur, February 2022
Ian January 2022

“An enjoyable return visit to this beautiful cottage situated in a quiet village but close enough to all the amenities needed.”

The owners are unobtrusive but on hand if there are any queries and offering those wee touches which make you feel so welcome - fabulous home-made cake & jam this time (thanks guys!). The tranquillity is heavenly and the range of walks from the doorstep plentiful to keep us occupied. Highly recommended.

Elizabeth November 2021

“This was our fourth Oct/ Nov holiday at The Granary and again we were delighted to return to this lovely holiday home.”

As ever, we found everything ready and pristine for our arrival. We were blessed with a wonderful week’s weather ( apart from one day) and so were able to enjoy the different walks in the area. Our Springer, Harry, is never happier than when he is at Appleton. The Moors Inn is as reliable as ever and we enjoyed a family meal to celebrate October and November birthdays which we had to cancel last year. Everything about our week’s stay was excellent and thank you once again Jamie and Joel for your hospitality. We intend to book The Granary for the same week next year and are looking forward already. The peace and quiet, the fire and the skies at night are all bonuses. Thank you so much. Anna and John Mack and family.

- Elizabeth, November 2021

- Andrew, October 2021
Richard July 2021

“Lovely, comfortable cottage in a beautiful setting and village.”

A bit compact, especially if 4 adults sharing and may be different furniture/layout would help. Kitchen has most of everything you need. All holiday lets vary and this one had kitchen roll, dishwasher stuff and access to cleaning equipment (which somd don’t), there was no washing up liquid (if you prefer to wash up by hand). The added garden room is lovely to sit and read while watching the birds and squirrels. The owners live onsite but weren’t intrusive at all. There is a lovely patio for the cottage and the owners are happy for visitors to walk down their garden if they aren’t using it. Beautiful garden and chickens to feed your old greens and banana skins! Who knew, but they love them

- Richard, July 2021

“The location was great.”

The cottage had fabulous gardens where we could sit late afternoon after a busy day out walking. Just very peaceful as well off the road and very private. Appleton le Moors is a lovely village with a very good pub for food. Jamie and Joel were around to sort out any queries and offer advice on the area, which was greatly appreciated. The fresh eggs from their hens down the garden were an added bonus as were the milk, tea,coffee and biscuits awaiting us on our arrival. I would definitely recommend this property to relatives and friends. We enjoyed our stay so much that we are already planning to visit again either later in the year or next spring.

“Lovely cottage and great location.”

It would have been slot better for us if we would have had outside space enclosed so our dog could go out safely and in his own place. Not great as it was open onto garden of owners so better with a gate being added I think. The only thing inside was the shower you couldn’t get the right temperature and not much power in it. Apart from that lovely cottage and lovely owner very friendly

“Holiday was fabulous with the surrounding countryside being exceptional.”

The walks available around the area were amazing and the little pub next to the cottage was lovely and friendly. The cottage was set in gorgeous gardens with an abundance of wildlife, the television was not needed as spent most of the time watching their antics. The cottage itself was lovely and comfortable with some nice touches by the owners helping you to settle in. They were on hand if you required anything.

“Fantastic cottage situated in a lovely village.”

The owners were brilliant and extremely helpful. We've stayed in a lot of holiday cottages and The Granary is up there with the best.

Simone February 2018

“We loved the cottage.”

The village is easily accessible from the main road but has lovely rural feeling about it. Sheep have the right to roam around the villiage so the property is gated. I’d love to go & visit when it’s the lambing season. The cottage itself is in a private corner that overlooks the gorgeous gardens of the main house. It has its own patio area with tables and chairs overlooking the garden. The cottage was cozy & well equipped. There’s a pub a couple of doors away that serves great food & Pickering is about a 10 minute drive with a couple of restaurants.
