The best breakfast I have had in a long time, the breakfast room was relaxing and not rushed. Really, really excellent. The place was spotless, and the owners very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my two nights there.

Come and enjoy a relaxing stay at Sykes House, our rooms are large and very comfortable, we are central to the village, with 3 pubs within walking distance that all serve good food, and we have a general store within the building. We offer advice on local attractions and maps are available for local walks. Packed lunches will be made up on request and flasks filled. Please see our website for best prices, further pictures and more information
Alison and Michael have been at Sykes House since 2013 and still love meeting new and returning B&B guests. We moved to Askrigg because it is such a welcoming village with a good community spirit. We do not miss the rat race one single bit!
There are plenty of walks to do right from the door so you don't need your car once you are here, we have 3 good pubs within walking distance that all serve good food (we personally do eat in all 3). If you do want to go further afield we have maps and advice to help you choose.
