    “We come to York every year to visit family locally and we looking for somewhere to return to regularly, unfortunately this was not it.”

    The house was well located and a good size and price for what we needed. The welcome basket was a nice touch and we are thankful for that. The children enjoyed a few nice treats. However it was not clean. I had to buy some disinfectant to clean the toilet which was disgusting and also clean the basin and shower. The hob was filthy and I was glad we were not cooking at the property as we spent the evenings with family. There were only three bowls so we had to wash up one before the last person ...

    The house was well located and a good size and price for what we needed. The welcome basket was a nice touch and we are thankful for that. The children enjoyed a few nice treats. However it was not clean. I had to buy some disinfectant to clean the toilet which was disgusting and also clean the basin and shower. The hob was filthy and I was glad we were not cooking at the property as we spent the evenings with family. There were only three bowls so we had to wash up one before the last person could have breakfast. The dishwasher looked like it was on its last legs so we were not keen to use it. Suggest buying a wipe clean table cloth as the grooves in the wooden table accommodate dirt and the placemats provided are stained. There are not enough seating for everyone to sit comfortably in the front room and watch the TV. The photo of the front garden is misleading as it’s just open and part of the car park area. The blurb to the cottage needs to mention the steep stairs and the fact that the first step is just outside the door to the main bedroom. I have dyspraxia and I was terrified I would come out of my bedroom and fall down the stairs. Disappointing from what we have experienced previously from Sykes and we will not be returning.

    Thank you for your recent feedback. I am glad you enjoyed your welcome pack. I am sorry to hear of your condition. Older cottages do tend to have steeper stairs. I have updated the listing to make future guests aware on the website. I am disappointed that you found the cottage was not clean on this occasion and have taken steps to ensure this does not happen again. I would have been available to remedy this had you contacted me and I could have reassured you with regard to the dishwasher. There are 8 bowls in the cupboard but I have added more smaller ones at your suggestion. We are having the garden enclosed later this month and I will update the description. I do want my guests to enjoy their stay. The bluebells are beautiful and back at Brayton Barff at the moment. Kind regards Julie Property Owner

The property

Resting in the village of Brayton, just a short walk south of Selby, lies this charming, two-bedroom, mid-terrace holiday home, Blue Bell Cottage.

Enjoying off-road parking, garden with corner sofa, and excellent proximity to nearby amenities, this delightful stay welcomes a family of four seeking a relaxing, self-catered escape in the heart of North Yorkshire.

Inside, make yourself at home in your new lodgings, where you'll find a well-appointed kitchen/diner, complete with all the appliances the chosen chef will need to cook up a tasty dinner for the whole family to savour around the dining table.

In the evenings, gather in the well-presented sitting room, where you can enjoy a film or two on the Smart TV.

As day rolls into night, indulge in a long, soapy bath before you finally retire for a well-earned rest in a plush double or twin bedroom.

After you've finished your breakfast and coffee at the breakfast bar, step out of your lovely new dwelling and explore what your local surroundings have to offer.

Stock up on essentials at Tesco Express, pick up some fresh meat to cook back at home from C Dawson & Sons butchers, amble through the serene, woodland setting of Brayton Barff nature reserve, perfect for dog walks, before settling down for a heart-warming pub dinner at The Swan, which is just a stone's throw from your accommodation.

The shortest of car drives north will take you into the market town of Selby, where you can spend time meandering around the scenic greens of Selby Park, take a peaceful stroll along the banks of the River Ouse, and enjoy a meat-filled meal at the Caramba Steakhouse.

A day trip to the city of York is also recommended during your stay, with the York Shambles, York City Walls and York Cathedral representing a fraction of what this historic settlement has to offer.

Enjoy all of this and so much more when you book a stay at Blue Bell Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

About the location

BRAYTON

Selby 1.8 miles; York 17 miles.

The small and pretty village of Brayton is an ancient parish, dating back to Saxon times and mentioned in the Domesday Book. There is a selection of local shops, a butcher and a delightful village green, as well as a Norman church and a Methodist chapel dating back to the 1800s. Less than two miles away is the historic town of Selby, a real hidden gem with an impressive abbey and a fine selection of restaurants. Also close by is the fabulous city of York which teems with interest for the holidaymaker: the Minster, its medieval walls, boat trips on the River Ouse, York Races, museums (including the famous National Railway Museum and the Castle Museum), and the internationally-renowned Jorvik Viking Centre and its "time trip" experience. A wonderful holiday destination.

Please Note: Some Guests may find the stairs steeper than more modern houses
