Great location but parking is an added expense and car is out of sight in a local car park.Very comfortable and well kept although back court could do with a bit of TLC.Very handy for all amenities and plenty to explore in the area.Skipton is a lovely little town.Had an issue on arrival and could not get hold of owner and despite leaving a message Read moregot no call back We did manage to resolve it but glad it wasn't an emergency situation Hide

An excellent stay at 20 Victoria street and we hope to return. The location is perfect, just behind the high street but very quiet. Parking in coach st car park a very short 3 minute walk away and only 19.80 for a weeks ticket with plenty of spaces. Cottage is clean, warm and comfy and had everything needed. Good size fridge freezer too.

great place to stay, very comfortable and everything in working order, especially if you like to cook yourselves. Location is brilliant as right on the skipton shops and stands, so very convenient. Well worth booking.

The cottage itself was clean and was well equiped with everything needed for a break away from home. The games room was a nice touch and my kids had loads of fun playing pool. It was in a great location close to local pubs and places to eat. Skipton is a lovely little town and is on the doorstep to the Dales.

Generally acceptable house with a comfortable bed and a good shower. The big plus was the location being close to eating places etc. However, the central location was susceptible to noise in the mornings and sometimes at night.
