Prospect Farm Cottages

Location and welcome on arrival

It was all good. The Shower could do with a shelf to hold soap etc

Great location, ideal for what we were looking for. All the basics needed for a weekend were there. Easy to park and easy to find

We struggled to get ready easily upstairs as the roof was low.

Friendly owners. Great for the dog with dog walks safely away from traffic. Nice location and comfortable cottage with everything you need .

Early cockrel wake up lol ! 😆

After a frustrating arrival, The Sinnington was very cosy and ideally located for Thornton Le-Dale and the Dalby forest. The cottage is open plan with a balcony style upper floor. The area was fairly peaceful with access to many pubs, restaurants, tea rooms, and cake shops.

We arrived through open gates and realised we had no idea which cottage I'd actually booked. (There were no details provided on Booking.com.) There seemed to be no one to check us in, so a quick call to Martyn soon resolved the issue. However, we were ignored by what seemed to be two people chatting and unloading timber. After talking to Martyn, one of the two people acknowledged we were actually there, we believe the owner's son. Once in the cottage, we found mouldy crumpets and out of date toasted tea cakes in the bread bin. After a frustrating arrival, we decided to walk into Thornton Le-Dale when we were challenged by someone from inside the main house, through a window, asking if we were actually staying at the cottage and had we checked in. The final straw was only one breakfast bowl, side plate, and juice glass in the cupboard when the Sinnington cottage is for two guests. Martyn rapidly provided the missing bowl and glass after a quick message. The shower temperature cannot be adjusted without being freezing cold or scalding hot. The door to the property is tricky to lock and unlock. The fridge door doesn't always close properly. There were no cleaning products apart from a near empty bottle of washing liquid or complimentary biscuits or chocolates as advertised. The hand soap in the bathroom was empty. Attention to detail and cleanliness could really improve the guest experience.
