Comfortable and cosy cottage, nice bed and shower. Everything we needed for our stay. Skipton is so handy for everywhere. Lots of lovely walks which were full of autumn colours when we visited in October. Woods and canals great for a wander. Lovely scenic train journey to Appleby and Ribblehead (Viaduct). Jealous of all the lovely shops you have onRead more Skipton High street. Great views from Ilkley Moor and Malham Cove. Visited Bolton Abbey too! Loved it all. A relaxing break. Hide

Lovely cottage in a brilliant location, close to shops, pubs and all amenities. The canal tour for 1 hour is highly recommended, the recorded commentary was very funny. Favourite pub was the Boat House, but all that we visited were good, pub food was excellent everywhere, and all appeared dog friendly. The Railway came with good reviews, we were unRead moreable to confirm as no tables available so pre booking a must. Hide

A comfortable cottage in a very convenient spot for Skipton High Street and for picking up a very easy road network to other places. Sadly there is no outside garden space which we did find limiting.

It was exactly the right size for us, the location perfect for what we wanted to do and I think it was the best one for equipment we have ever visited As I said in the guest book it was a delight to come back to as it was so cool after being out in the heat all day.
