    “This cottage is not very user friendly at all.”

    There was a lot of issues with the cleanliness. Sykes didn't even want to see the photos I took. I contacted the owner about crumbs all over the work surface I the kitchen and how the bedding was very creased and crumpled. He did offer to change the bedding of which I declined. I was in there by then! The drinking glasses are left out on a shelf, hence they were greasy and dusty. Tge side table in the front room had tea stains all over it.

    There was a lot of issues with the cleanliness. Sykes didn't even want to see the photos I took. I contacted the owner about crumbs all over the work surface I the kitchen and how the bedding was very creased and crumpled. He did offer to change the bedding of which I declined. I was in there by then! The drinking glasses are left out on a shelf, hence they were greasy and dusty. Tge side table in the front room had tea stains all over it. The mat when you come in initially is a piece of white carpet and was filthy. There is no space upstairs, n cupboards to put away any clothes that don't need hanging. You have to keep it all in your bags. There's no ventilation in the bathroom, extractor fan or window ,therefore there is a horrible drain smell all the time. Sykes really need to go and visit this property for safety reasons alone! I complained to Sykes about compensation, they contacted the owners and they informed Sykes that they'd left a bottle of wine!!!! That certainly didn't make up for the cleanliness or the unsafety. I believe this property should be taken off the listings. Avoid at all costs.

The property

The Potting Shed is a gorgeous hidden gem, perched at the foot of the North York Moors National Park, nestled in the idyllic village of Hutton Buscel.

Perfectly situated for couples, this snug barn conversion rests on a quiet country lane, opposite fellow cottages.

Upon entering the property, be wowed by the stunning high ceilings which accentuate the Velux windows and characterful oak beams, noticing the quirky stone wall where a TV sits in a unique recess.

Open a bottle of wine and relax on the sofa to enjoy a cosy date night, whilst you're kept warm by the electric fire.

As the evening draws to a close, travel up the steep wooden stairs and up to a snug mezzanine area overlooking the rest of the property, getting ready for bed in the en-suite shower room.

Hop into the inviting double bed and turn off the lights as you look up to the Velux skylight window for an evening of stargazing, a perfect way to end your day.

Soak in your surroundings as you meander along the quiet country lane just outside the property, heading over to the local shop in East Ayton to some ingredients for an evening meal, before stopping off at one of the nearby pubs to enjoy a refreshing pint on a summer's afternoon.

The area is encompassed by outstanding countryside and a peaceful ambiance, pick between a plethora of leisurely rambles alongside calm fields, or challenging hikes deep within the amazing Dalby Forest.

Pack your beach bag and enjoy a fantastic day at Scarborough seaside resort, home to classic amusements, sandy beaches, colourful attractions, and delicious dining choices for your culinary needs, including traditional fish and chips on the beachfront, as well as the outstanding Stephen Joseph Theatre and the historic Scarborough Castle to explore.

About the location

HUTTON BUSCEL

Scarborough 5 miles.

The small, picturesque village of Hutton Buscel lies five miles south west of Scarborough, quietly situated on a hillside, with glorious views over open countryside. Pretty stone cottages and houses line the main street from end to end in this ancient, well kept village. The original 12th century church was altered in later periods and has been fully restored, and also has links to the famous Whitby Abbey. Close to the Downe Arms, Country pub and restaurant and wedding venue in Wykeham Village. East Ayton lies just a mile below the village and has a good local shop, fish and chip restaurant and country pub. The stunning scenery in and around the Forge Valley is ideal for walkers, with many woodland and open countryside tracks, whilst the popular seaside town of Scarborough is only a few minutes' drive. With easy access to the market towns of Pickering, Malton and Helmsley and numerous attractions nearby, Hutton Buscel makes a perfect place to stay. There are good golf courses at Kirkbymoorside and Scarborough, a steam railway and trout fishing at Pickering, and castles, gardens and museums all close by including Helmsley Castle, Duncombe Park and Ryedale Folk Museum.
