Also easy walking distance to the station. A big Tesco is just round the corner! We couldn't always park in front of the house, but there was enough parking in nearby roads for our 3 cars. There are a lot of stairs (up to the front door and to each floor). The owner is very friendly and helpful. The lounge has lovely comfortable sofas, and the dining room is perfect for a big party. The little ones loved the basement games room. We had a wonderful family holiday with 12 of us.

The living room, dining room and kitchen are very spacious. There were plenty of bathrooms and the house was very clean. It is only a few minutes walk in to Skipton. We would definitely visit again.
