Nestled in the heart of Skipton, this charming holiday home offers an unbeatable location right on the canal, with breathtaking views and the unique opportunity to feed swans directly from your living room window! Skipton, often referred to as the "Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales," is a vibrant market town brimming with character and charm. Explore its historic cobbled streets, the impressive Skipton Castle and the bustling market that runs four days a week. The town boasts a variety of independent shops, cosy cafés, and traditional pubs, all just a short stroll away. Beyond Skipton, the stunning Yorkshire Dales National Park awaits, offering miles of scenic walking and cycling trails, picturesque villages, and awe-inspiring natural beauty.

Accessed via a curled walkway or a staircase leading up to it, head inside this charming holiday home and in to a small, practical hallway, ideal for hanging coats and wiping muddy paws after a day exploring. From here, enter the heart of the home: a bright and spacious lounge/diner with stunning views over the canal. Relax on the comfortable sofas, catch up on your favorite shows with the TV and Firestick, or gather around the dining table for meals with a view. Adjacent to the lounge is a well-equipped kitchen, perfect for whipping up delicious dinners during your stay. Head upstairs to find two cosy double bedrooms. The master bedroom offers enchanting views over the canal, letting you wake up to the sight of swans gliding peacefully by. The second bedroom provides a snug retreat and both rooms share a family bathroom conveniently located on this floor.

Outside, the front terrace with a table and chairs is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee in the sunshine, while the small rear patio allows you to stand and soak in the serenity of the canal as barges gently pass by. There is off-road parking for two cars.

This is a lovely property. It had everything we needed and was finished to a high standard.It,s location on the canal is wonderful.We would prefer a darker /thicker blind on the skylight window in the bedroom but that,s the only negative.

A well equipped cottage, quiet location with a first class view of the narrow boat goings-on in the Skipton Basin. Fascinating to watch.
