Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting it as spotless and well-maintained. Only a few minor cleaning oversights were mentioned, which do not significantly detract from the overall positive feedback.
The location is highly praised for being quiet yet central, with easy access to Skipton's amenities and beautiful walks. The convenience of nearby parking, despite the lack of on-site parking, is also appreciated.
Comfort receives a good score, with guests finding the cottage cosy and peaceful. However, some guests noted the main bed size and seating as limiting factors, and a few mentioned the sofa and beds could be more comfortable.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the cottage being well-equipped and maintained. Some guests suggested adding a shower in place of the bath and noted the compact nature of the bathroom and kitchen work surfaces.
There is insufficient information to score thoughtfulness as there are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be accurately assessed.
About this property
A delightful stone-built terraced cottage in the popular market town of Skipton, known as the Gateway to the Dales. This cottage is ideal for couples and small groups and is in an enviable location. Set in a peaceful area overlooking the Eller Beck and the Spring's Branch of the canal as it nears Skipton Woods, this excellent cottage is a short walk from the shops, pubs and restaurants on the town's award-winning High Street. Set over two floors, this traditional dwelling has been renovated to a high standard to provide accommodation full of charm and character throughout. The ground floor features an open plan living area with a superb fitted kitchen and an AGA woodburning stove, perfect for a cosy night in after a day sampling the many walks and attractions in the area. The first floor master bedroom provides a peaceful space to get away in what can be an otherwise bustling town centre, with the canal providing a lovely backdrop to the room. The first floor also offers a stylish bathroom with a modern tiled finish and is complete with a cosy single room. Within a short stroll you will find Skipton Woods, Skipton Castle, a fine range of pubs old and new and the famous canal basin. The town also sits in the perfect location for breathtaking walks in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, with the peaceful village of Grassington under ten miles away and slightly further afield the Three Peaks can be found within an hours drive. Other delights of the area include the fabulous Bolton Abbey, the elegant spa town of Harrogate and Ilkley Moor. A wonderful base for a memorable break in the Yorkshire Dales.
The market town of Skipton, known as the The Gateway to the Dales offers canal trips, steam railway rides, golf, restaurants, shops and tea rooms. The Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Bronte Country are close by and are well worth a visit.

The cottage is close to all amenities, bars restaurants shops Skipton castle and the canal. We were able to use the long stay car park 2 minutes away at a cost of £18 for the week very handy as one of us has walking difficulties. Skipton woods is very close and is lovely for a peaceful morning walk after getting a coffee in the Walkers bakery close by. We would definitely recommend this cottage to others

The location was ideal, just a short walk to the town, pubs and restaurants. The kitchen was very well equipped, beds comfy and a lovely view of the passing canal boats.
