Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with numerous guests commenting on its spotless condition. The attention to detail by the cleaning staff is frequently commended.
The location is highly praised for being quiet yet central, with easy access to Skipton's amenities and attractions. The proximity to parking, despite the lack of on-site parking, is also noted as convenient.
Comfort receives a lower score due to mixed feedback. While the cottage is described as cosy and peaceful, several guests mention that the main bed is too small for two people and the seating downstairs is not very comfortable.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the property being well-equipped and maintained. However, some guests suggest improvements such as an additional armchair, a larger sofa, and a grab rail in the shower.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.
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.

It was lovely to sit having a meal, and watching the narrow boats glide past the window. One could not be closer to the canal, without being in it! Situated very conveniently for the amenities in Skipton, which is itself a great base for exploring the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. It's a pity there is no parking outside, but the public car park is just at the end of the road, and at £15 for the week is quite reasonable. We have stayed here twice now, and would be happy to do so again.

But I appreciate that can't be helped due the age, size and dimensions of the property. It was a lovely property nevertheless, clean and well maintained, with wonderful views of the canal and brook and so close to the high street, supermarkets and other amenities. And I wish my home broadband was as fast! Recommended.
