The cottage is central to Skipton and all amenities and an ideal base to explore the surrounding area. The cottage was well maintained, clean and tidy and the car parking space is a bonus. Overall a great property and value for money.

A really lovely homely and cosy cottage. Everything you need to have a good holiday. Great central location very near to the shops and canal. I didn't have a car and managed for two weeks. The public transport is excellent. There is a private car parking space if needed which is a bonus. The central heating was great. Lovely market town to visit.

We had a lovely stay in this cosy and well equipped cottage and the parking bay is also a bonus! The cottage is in a great location in Skipton close to shops and pubs and we also found great dog walks nearby beside the canal. Would highly recommend staying here and we look forward to staying again.

We have stayed here before and will probably do so again. It is one minutes walk from the main street but it is so peaceful and quiet we had some really good nights sleep. The location is amazing, almost anywhere in town is only a ten/fifteen minutes walk. The parking space too is invaluable. We love Skipton it has wonderful shops and decent marketRead more, lots of coffee shops, pubs and restaurants all within a stones throw from the cottage. Hide

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
