    “Paid £35 for fill up service of log fired hot tub.”

    It took 4 hours and quite a bit of research. Unfortunately due to family emergency some of the family were not able to enjoy as we had to return after first night. We had expected it to be filled and heated and to be able to use it the first night but this was not the case. House was not as clean as reviews suggested (hair in shower/rubbish under sofa). Not walkable to pub - should make this clear. Also toilet roll left on day 1 not sufficient if we had all stayed the 4 nights. We think the ...

Not walkable to pub - should make this clear. Also toilet roll left on day 1 not sufficient if we had all stayed the 4 nights. We think the owner let themselves in to replenish but we’re not happy they had done this.

    Good evening Mr Walker, I am saddened to read your review. Firstly, we had not been asked by Sykes to fill & heat the hot tub for your arrival, however, had you called me on the number provided I would have immediately rectified this either by refund or filling the hot tub. Regarding the cleanliness, I apologise if you found anything but we have never had a poor review regarding cleanliness & are only ever complimented on it, again had you called I would have rectified this. When booking you can check the location & find out distance to local pubs etc. on the advertising it states the pub is 2.5 miles away, that may or may not be within walking distance for you but it is clearly stated. Finally, you are provided with 1 toilet roll in each bathroom to get you started, after that it is up to you as we are self catering & regarding letting ourselves in to replenish I can guarantee you this DID NOT happen. I have never let myself into a guests accommodation without their prior agreement!!! It has taken you nearly 2 weeks to write a review despite you stating how poor everything was & at no point did you make contact with me albeit my number being largely displayed in the cottage & asking you to contact me should you need anything. I stand by my service & my beautiful cottage. Regards Joanne Property Owner

About the location

POCKLINGTON

York 13 miles.

The pretty little market town of Pocklington nestles at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds in the Vale of York. It is perhaps best known for Burnby Hall Gardens - 8 acres of gloriously beautiful gardens with two large lakes which are home to the National Collection of water lilies. There are several world famous attractions nearby - majestic Castle Howard, beautiful Sledmere House, and of course the historic city of York. The town boasts a leisure centre offering a wide range of sports, including swimming, a Civic Centre and the Pocklington Arts Centre, which shows various films and stages live shows throughout the year. Pocklington is also home to Madhyamaka Kadampa Meditation Centre, known worldwide for its meditation courses and retreats, plus the KP Golf Club is situated approx. 1 mile away and offers wedding and other event facilities, a stylish bar and a restaurant, as well as an 18 hole championship golf course. Just a few miles away is the village of Warter, which is where David Hockney produced his 'Bigger Trees Near Warter' painting. Nearby are various cycle ways including the North Sea Cycle Route and walkers will love either the long distance walks along the Wolds Way or one of the many more circular walks in the area for all abilities. For those who enjoy touring by car, Pocklington forms part of the Pocklington Round, a lovely scenic drive which takes in some of the area’s prettiest villages.
