Bloggers’ Holiday with Sykes Cottages
Another Bloggers’ Holiday! I’ve been very lucky to have spent the last few months travelling to various exciting places across the UK and a few months ago I headed to a little village called Osmotherley, just outside Northallerton in North Yorkshire. I can’t believe that’s it’s now been a few months – it’s about time I told you all about it! I just can’t resist Yorkshire at the moment – there’s no wonder that people still think that I live up North! I spent the weekend with some of my favourite bloggers in a fantastic cottage and had a thoroughly enjoyable few days:
We stayed at Cote Ghyll Cottage thanks to Sykes Cottages and it was a beautiful building. Downstairs, we had a kitchen and dining table, shower room, living room and even a games room. Upstairs, there were four bedrooms, which slept the 8 of us in total, and another bathroom with a separate toilet. The cottage was impeccable, very spacious and certainly in a rural location. It might have been a little too rural for my fellow city-bloggers (a sheep in the road caused some terror from Sammie) and I must admit the poor WiFi was frustrating, but I loved the quaint Osmotherley town. However I’m happy I didn’t have to drive to it as I must say that it was a horrible route to get to this Yorkshire village.
As a result, the weekend was slightly affected by the fact that we were all anticipating that complicated drive home but we still managed to have a wonderful time. The village of Osmotherley was small but still housed three pubs, which all served food. The larger town of Nortallerton wasn’t far and we managed to spend an afternoon there – obviously making some time to visit Bettys for some fat rascals and cakes!
Sykes Cottages are my go-to for UK cottage breaks. In October, I had also travelled to Yorkshire with my family to stay in a Sykes Cottage for the week and we found them to be affordable, well located and importantly dog friendly. They’re certainly worth checking out if you’re looking for a relaxing weekend away in the UK. However, I personally can’t wait for my next ‘blogger trip’ which is a little more exotic – a city break to New York! Do you have any posts about New York? I’d love to read them!
