Cottage Review:  

Booked to stay in Pegs Cottage through Sykes in October 2019, my partner and I were really excited due to some of the reviews we had seen but upon arriving we started to wonder whether these previous good reviews had been made up.

The property was surrounded by rats, being from the countryside this isn't something new to us but having them so close to the property door was just horrific. Especially with the leptospirosis risk to ourselves and our dogs. The cottage inside smelt like stale urine and had alot of mould around every window and even the blinds. The cutlery drawer had hair and crumbs in so clearly hadn't been cleaned for a while. We chose to leave the same day after speaking to Sykes, the owner said she wasn't going to give us a full refund due to their being dog hair on the rug (because our dogs are supposed to levitate around the dog friendly cottage) and apparently there was evidence of us using the oven, which we didn't so again clearly shows it hadn't been cleaned from the previous guests. We luckily got our money back from our bank.

Also dealing with the customer service team from Sykes was a challenge in itself, especially Andrea who twisted our words and lied on many occasions, one of them being that we would get a full refund from Sykes if the cottage owner decided not to give us one but then Andrea had a change of heart and decided she had never said this.

All in all a very bad experience and the owner of the cottage is a very rude lady.

Go to this cottage at your own risk and if you do take dogs to this dog friendly cottage then make sure they don't moult!

Thanks for taking the time to read

Cottage Review:  

From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed, the dog had free run of the entire fully secure garden areas including the owners she loved exploring the orchard. The cottage was well equipped with everything you could need , the farm opposite sells eggs ours were that fresh they were still warm.

The Cottage is well located for exploring the area with Castle Howard about 15 minutes away York and Whitby about 1hr,Helmsley the local town is 2 miles away and you can get everything you need.

Tonia the owner is lovely and extremely helpful to the point that our dog suffered an emergency she directed us to her vets and even offered an old t-shirt so that she couldn?t get at her stitches We will Definitely be returning

Cottage Review:  

We have just returned from a week's break at Pegs Cottage in Pockley, close to Helmsley. It was a perfect break for us and our two dogs who were secure in the grounds of the accommodation and able to explore the whole garden area. We had our own parking space which was close to the cottage and away from the road. Tonia made us all very welcome and we felt at ease when she told us our dogs were free to explore the whole garden area which was secure throughout. Our dogs loved exploring Tonia's garden as well as the small orchard where they could run around o

Good location only a few minutes away from Helmsley with its quaint shops and vibrant Friday markets and from the abbey ruins at Rievaulx and Castle Howard with its extensive gardens and interesting history as well as access to walks on the Moors. The cottage is well quipped with all amenities including washing machine and the hostess is nearby if any help is required. We enjoyed our stay in this quiet little village with plenty of interest in the surrounding neighbourhood. The cottage was clean, comfortable and had a welcoming ambience.

Cottage Review:  

We stayed at Pegs Cottage for a weekend break. We were not disappointed the reviews were true. The owner was very helpful when I rang to arrange the key pick up,she also provided fresh milk tea and coffee. She has two beautiful dogs and your dog will be made welcome.

The bungalow has level access which made it easy for my disabled husband. The rooms were spotless and the ceasefire was so hot we only needed it on low to warm both the lounge and bedroom.

The shower does have a high ledge but my husband managed to get in with my help,would have been better if I

Cottage Review:  

We have just returned from a week at Peg's Cottage.

It's a lovely cottage, all very new and nicely decorated.

The cottage is ideal for couples as it has only one double bedroom, with open storage space, and a small hanging space, open shelving and a corner dressing table, with mirror, there is a lamp on the dressing table and wall lights above the bed, the bed has extra storage below, which makes it a bit of a hard bed to sleep on.

The shower is raised and has a folding door, this would not be suitable for anyone who needed level access shower, I had th
