The Sycamores, Forcett

The property is very homely, comfortable, clean. Had everything we needed and more. The cakes left for us were delicious. Ideal place to recharge our batteries, especially in the hot tub!! Hearing and seeing the farm animals, meeting the horses was wondeful. We had brilliant weather so made use of the garden to sit out in the evening after a long day of visiting places in the area. Can recommend The Cross Keys in Eppleby for delicious food. All of us would return to the property in the future and would recommend to anyone.

Home from home with a well stocked kitchen making food prep easy. Nice quiet location surrounded by animals.

We had a wonderful family holiday staying at this beautiful cottage on the farm. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcome. The cottage was exceptionally clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The homemade cakes left for us on arrival were such a lovely and thoughtful touch and absolutely delicious! We especially loved the peaceful farm setting. Waking up in the morning and being able to hear the farm animals was a real delight and made the stay feel extra special. The hot tub was also an amazing addition to the cottage and the perfect way to unwind after a day out. It was a lovely place for a family getaway, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay. We would happily return!

Fantastic home, very comfy and clean. Beautiful quiet private location which made sitting out in the hot tub wonderfully relaxing. Had everything we needed, would certainly recommend.

We had a fantastic stay at this cottage! The place was spotless, cozy, and had all the comforts we needed for a relaxing weekend. The host was welcoming, responsive, and added thoughtful touches that made our visit feel extra special. The setting was peaceful and perfect for a getaway. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

Beautiful property, had a fabulous weeks stay. Very well equipped and beds very comfortable, welcome cakes were delicious too. Relaxing evenings spent in the hot tub. The only issue we had was locking the front door, takes a few attempts before eventually locking.

WOW, this place is an absolute gem of a find. The location was perfect for us, tucked away behind the farm with so many walking options on the doorstop. Superb homemade cakes on arrival, so good that we bought more almost every day. Carole left Gluten free cakes for my husband who has Coeliacs Disease & he said they were the best hes had. The brownie, in his words, was something else thats how good it was. Wonderful private & enclosed garden with fabulous views across the field. Everything has been thought of, it really is like a home from home. The kitchen has been equipped to the max. Glasses for all occasions, cups & mugs, crockery & cutlery for all plus spare, there was a slow cooker & top notch air fryer as well as the standard kitchen oven. Dishwasher & cleaning tablets. Washing machine, tumble dryer & laundry capsules. Shower gel & hand wash in every bathroom. Plenty of Blankets for snuggling on the really comfy sofa. Blankets, towels & bedding supplies for the dog. The beds were the best we have ever slept in at a holiday home, so unbelievably comfortable & the bedding was superior quality. Carole & Tim are top notch hosts, we were lucky enough to time it right & meet them both on arrival. Great local recommendations from them both, always stopped to chat if we saw them when we were arriving or leaving the Sycamores. Local pub The Cross Keys was excellent, staff were so welcoming & the food was exceptional with plenty of gluten free options. We were a party of 6. My parents, who are in their late 70s & both have limited mobility, slept in the ground floor double with en suite. They were lost for words, their bedroom had so much storage, TV on the wall, great view of the garden. Their en suite was almost as big as the bedroom with everything they could need & even more storage. Our sons, 15 & 12, slept in the twin room with use of the separate bathroom, again everything that they needed was there & their room looked out onto the back garden also. Myself & my husband slept in the upstairs double with en suite. So much space, fabulous storage more than is shown in the online photos, there is a double wardrobe & chest of drawers, lots of blankets, cushions, chaise longue & TV. This was our first visit here but we will definitely be back again next year.

The cottage was fantastic. It was very comfortable and had everything you could need. It was really peaceful and the garden was lovely too. Watching the birds on the feeders was great, especially seeing a woodpecker. I even heard an owl early on one morning. Seeing the horses, sheep, goats, etc, was good too. We really enjoyed the hot tub, especially having the lights on when it was getting dark. Arriving to a box of cakes was a lovely welcome treat, and they were delicious. I'd definitely return to the cottage in the future and would recommend it to anyone. A big thanks to Tim and Carole for a lovely stay.

No other words than amazing. 3rd stay here and wont be our last. Such a peaceful week away. Cant wait to return

This is the 3rd time we have stayed here in 2 years, lovely house with 3 bedrooms 2 of which are massive. We love the massive back garden were we spent most of our time either soaking up the sun or in the sun house when it was a bit cooler. The owners live next door if you have any issues but otherwise they don't bother you. They also have horses, sheep goats and some other small animals which the children loved to go and see. And if that isn't enough they have a hot tub.

Loved our stay at the property and would love to stay there again.

Had a lovely holiday at the Sycamores. The house was comfortable, well equipped, the beds good and rooms nicely decorated. We enjoyed the cakes left for us, a lovely treat. Unfortunately the garden was not fully enclosed, our small dog could get out and we were invaded by a flock of sheep in the garden!

What a fabulous cottage. Had absolutely everything you could need. Only sorry we didn't get to enjoy for long as hubby took ill and we had to return home after less than 2 days. We really hope to get to go back after he is fully recovered from his operations. The owners were very friendly and helpful.

Our second visit here and although we love the place, it actually wasnt as clean or as well maintained as last time the grill pan was filthy, the upstairs bathroom plug sticks and is difficult to pull up, some cushion covers in the sitting room need a wash and the paintwork is a little worn in places. Might sound like nit picking just not the same standard as last year.

Cottage was exceptionally clean and well prepared. The hosts very friendly and helpful. Would certainly recommend this to anyone and would love to come back again. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

Me and my husband had a well earned relaxing week here. I loved watching the well cared for funny farm animals the goats where my fave The hot tub was perfect and well maintained, the property is clean homely and well looked after . We loved the heated roundhouse . The cakes where amazing , thank you . We shall be back

Just back after a fantastic stay. There is nothing to fault..exceeded expectations. So quiet and peaceful and wonderful chill time at night in the hot tub. Hosts very friendly and loved the cakes left for us. A must to visit the tearooms in Eppleby.

A wonderful short stay. The house was very clean, well equipped, and the beds were super comfy! Very peaceful location, and friendly, responsive communication with the owners. The hot tub was lovely & private, a great way to relax after a day out exploring. We would definitely recommend!!

Lovely, warm and cosy cottage, beds brilliant. Very well equipped, everything you could need. Had a great time, enjoyed the hot tub. Thanks so much for the lovely cakes and to Kate for her help.

Have already recommended it to others. Great for family time away, including the dogs. Owners very welcoming and friendly.

Clean, comfortable and everything provided that you need. A great holiday property and great owners that are happy to help if needed. Our third stay and probably not our last!

We loved it. What a wonderful place this is. Extremely comfortable and had everything we needed for a lovely relaxing weekend break. Very peaceful location and watching the stars from the hot tub at night was wonderful. Excellent location for visiting some great places to explore with our dog. The box of cakes on arrival was very much appreciated. We would definitely love to stay again. Thank you so much.

We had a lovely stay at The Sycamores would definitely recommend this property. We would definitely stay here again. This has everything that we were looking for and more, the fact that we could also bring our small dog was great! The property is very well looked after, and spotlessly clean. The whole family really enjoyed their stay at The Sycamores, the beds were super comfortable, the facilities and amenities were great, and the added bonus of the hot tub was amazing! We couldnt have wished for a better stay, we would definitely recommend booking The Sycamores and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The second time that we have visited this comfortable and well equipped holiday home. We are so impressed how spotlessly clean the accommodation was on our arrival and really enjoyed using the new hybrid BBQ. Another great holiday.

Had a wonderful time here, the place is immaculate, the owners are lovely even leaving a box of cakes on arrival. The animals were amazing especially the horses which my daughter fell in love with. I cant recommend this place enough, infact I have just booked to come back again twice next year. Thank you for an amazing family holiday. Claire

We had a wonderful stay here, the house was stunning, the owners were kind and it was so quiet and peaceful. My children as did we all loved the horses in the field along side the house and we thought it was wonderful to chill in the hot tub at night and relax quietly in the garden. Totally recommend. The only thing was my children were quite scared of the dogs next door property as they had very loud barks which made them a little scared to walk through the drive way. A little greet with them to start with to show they are softies would be recommended

We have just returned from a weeks stay at the sycamores. A family of 4 with youngest being 3 years old. The hosts were friendly and helpful, the property its large, comfortable and immaculately maintained with everything you might need for your stay. The garden is beautiful ideal for nights in the hot tub, or by the fire pit, or cards in the beautiful ridged gazebo even when the weather isnt great. Ideally located for exploring both the Yorkshire mores and dales. Situated on a beautiful small holding with the animals being very friendly and both children loved seeing the animals. I would highly recommend this letting whatever you might be looking for an active or relaxing break. With a large farm shop less the 6 minutes drive and a Tescos that you can click and collect from 15 minutes away. I would highly recommend booking here, thank you Tim and Carol for a lovely break !

This is a fantastic cottage in a lovely setting . The owners take great pride in providing a wonderful holiday home.The interior is everything you would want it to be, spotless on arrival and surrounded by a beautifully landscaped garden.The hot tub and heated roundhouse just add to the pleasure of staying at The Sycamores as are the lovely cakes which are provided on arrival .This was our third stay and we will be back!!

This is probably one of the nicest properties that we have ever stayed in, if somebody said what was not so good, I would probably have said that my stay was just too short, Tim and Caroline were great, as well as the little extras, that we were so grateful for, just a lovely peaceful stay, and so grateful to the owners for allowing people into their holiday home for a holiday.

We had an amazing stay here it was home from home and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Made to feel very welcome and loved waking up to the animal's and the beautiful surrounding. The beds were super comfy and slept in every day. We will defiantly be returning.

Excellent stay, lovely hosts, beautiful property and location

2nd visit to this wonderful holiday home & perfect once again. Clean on arrival with some lovely cakes, its the little things that makes this place so special, extra towels, shower gel, toilet rolls, hot tub & jacuzzi bath, also the meals they can provide which are excellent & at a very reasonable price. Will definitely return as this is one of the best places we have ever stayed.

Fabulous holiday home the owners have thought of everything. We really appreciated the heavenly cakes, all the extra toiletries and more than enough loo roll to last the week. Beds are extremely comfortable and the hot tub is great. It was our second visit to the Sycamores, we will be back soon . Happy to recommend this five star property to anyone.

Absolutely perfect stay at this beautiful house. We have had an amazing family holiday. There was everything and more that you would need for a family break. The hosts were so kind and helpful. Everyone in our party had a great time. Thank you so much. X

Will keep it short and sweet as wont repeat what others have said but very lovely property and it was a pleasure to stay here. Well done to the owners for making this a nice place to stay.

Had a really great week at this wonderful retreat. It was warm and welcoming with really comfortable beds. Tim was the perfect host and the cakes supplied on arrival were absolutely delicious. We have already booked for 2 weeks next year.

Home from home,everything needed was provided and the girls loved it

Our 3rd stay at the Sycamores, and whilst there booked again. I need say no more.

Very clean on arrival with lovely cakes for you, the house looks so much better than in the photos. Very spacious house, lovely enclosed garden for our dog & hot tub makes the house perfect, owners very friendly who dont bother you. I can honestly say that The Sycamores is the best place we have stayed in with Sykes as we book with them every year. Already booked to come back next year. Also so much to do in the area, Barnard Castle, Richmond, Raby castle & lots of beautiful walks within 30 minutes. Thanks for a great holiday.
