Sykes House B&B Guestbook

Thanks for the very warm hospitality, and we're sorry we had to cut short our stay by one night. The room was well-presented and the breakfast was great. Askrigg and Wensleydale are very pretty, as is nearby Swaledale. In Askrigg, we'd recommend the food in the White Rose Hotel, but the Kings Arms was nicest for a drink. Can't vouch for the food there, but it looked nice!

Well, what can we say about our wonderful weekend stay at the amazing Sykes House.  Firstly, we have to say that the welcome from Lisa and Keith was beyond belief......so incredibly friendly and truly helpful in ALL aspects - too many to mention!!  Lisa made us feel at home, in her home, from the first minute of meeting.  Absolutely nothing was too much trouble.  Lisa`s breakfasts were "to die for".  The best English breakfast we have ever had in our entire lives!! Our room was beautiful and so, so comfortable.  Askrigg is a treasure....  We highly recommend Sykes House to everyone.  We will be back.  So many thanks Lisa and Keith...we could go on and on....

I am very happy to find this web page. My first visit to the UK was in March-April of 2009 and I fell in love with Askrigg. My lovely tea and talk with Lisa remains a favorite memory, but I couldn't remember the excact story about the hatch. Now I am writing a book about my travels and this will be a wonderful tidbit.

Also, I wasn't aware you were a B&B. The tearoom is precious and I was eating (I really concentrate on this) & reading materials. Outside, it was raining very hard and I must have kept my head down--what a shame. Travelers, do not put your head down in the rain. You never know what you will miss! I look forward to coming back and seeing your rooms, Lisa and Keith. P.S. Don't forget to see Bolton and the castle--a must.

We have just returned from a 5 night stay with Lisa and Keith and have thoroughly enjoyed it and would like the visitors to this guest book to know what a fantastic stay we had. Both Keith, and Lisa made us feel very welcome and the accommodation was both homely and very comfortable. Lisa's breakfasts were delicious, and the village of Askrigg where Sykes house is situated is an ideal base to discover the delights of the yorkshire dales. We would not hesitate to recommend a stay at Sykes house, and will certainly be returning ourselves in the future.

We would just like to say how much we enjoyed our stay with you in our lovely memorable village. We enjoyed reliving my childhood memories and staying in the old Temperence Hotel. As Sykes House it is a most comfortable place to be and the food you cooked for us was really delicious. We shall recommend you and your lovely home to friends and family.

Thankyou both for all your help and your lovely hospitality. It really was like coming home.

Regards Brenda and Ken .

Just returned from our second visit to Sykes House where we found the accommodation superb (we have now stayed in both rooms and  both are very comfortable and spacious).We had a lovely welcome from Lisa & Keith on both occasions.  We feel we have found a little gem in Askrigg - it is the perfect location to base yourself while exploring the Dales. We did some wonderful walks in Wensleydale & Swaledale & Lisa was very helpful & informative on walking in the area. The breakfasts and cream teas went down a treat in the tearoom - keep up the good work Lisa & keith - we'll be back!!!!!!!

Just spent 3 wonderful days in the Yorkshire Dales staying at Sykes House, we were warmly welcomed by Lisa and Keith, the room was beautifully presented and very comfortable.

The breakfast were a very varied menu and wonderfully cooked by Lisa.

We would recommend Sykes House to anybody wanting a nice holiday in the Yorkshire Dales and the Village of Askrigg is a good starting point to get to anywhere in the Dales.

Thank you once again Lisa and Keith.

Just spent a great 5 days at Sykes House.  Very comfortable and so convenient.  We were made very welcome and found the whole atmosphere warm and friendly and relaxed.  Breakfasts were great and the village is such a little gem.  This was our first visit to the Dales and to Askrigg - it won't be our last.  Everything we needed was provided.  We will definitely be visiting Sykes House again.  By the way, that toasted sandwich I had in the Tea Room has got to be the best toastie I've ever had!

Well done Lisa and Keith for such a lovely experience.  You've done a great job.

Thanks

Reg and Linda
