Guests say

Woodlands in Yorkshire Dales is highly praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and prime location. Guests appreciate the friendly hosts, well-equipped facilities, and the property's dog-friendly policy. The garden and local walks are highlights, as are the thoughtful touches like fresh croissants and biscuits. Despite one negative comment about a carpet cleaning charge, the overall sentiment is extremely positive, with many guests planning to return.

Reviewers consistently mention the property's cleanliness, describing it as 'impeccably clean', 'very clean', and 'modern, clean and comfortable'. The high frequency of these compliments suggests a very high standard of cleanliness.

The property's location is frequently praised for being peaceful, with easy access to Skipton and local attractions. Its proximity to walks and pubs, as well as the scenic Yorkshire Dales, contributes to a high location score.

Guests describe their stays as cosy and comfortable, highlighting the well-equipped flat and the extra touches that add to the comfort, such as a wood burner and a trampoline for children.

The facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped apartment, garden, and playing equipment. However, a couple of minor issues with windows and a shower switch prevent a perfect score.

The hosts' thoughtfulness is noted in several reviews, with mentions of fresh croissants, biscuits, and other provisions. While these gestures are highly appreciated, guests should note that such personal touches, though common, are offered at the hosts' discretion.

About this property

Nestled on the outskirts of the charming village of Cononley and enveloped by the stunning landscape of the Craven district of North Yorkshire is this immaculate apartment, set above the owner’s garage. With its countryside position and comfortable interior design, this apartment offers an exceptional self-catering experience, a superb find for romantics, small families, avid ramblers and those alike. Climb the exterior steps before pushing open the front door to reveal the open-plan living room, where you can look forward to unwinding after a long-walk upon the moorland and to enjoy the company of your loved ones, with the woodburning stove setting the ambiance and gently filling the room with warmth. The compact, yet well-equipped kitchen comes with everything you could possibly need to cater family favourite recipes, and the accompanying breakfast bar is great for dining, lingering over a drink, playing board games brought from home and mapping out the next day’s adventure. Completing the living space is the sitting area, where a leather sofa and armchair invite you in to relax in front of the Smart TV, complete with Netflix and Amazon Prime so you can catch up on the latest box set, with the fire crackling in the background. The master bedroom boasts a sumptuous king-size bed and the second bedrooms comes with a twin set up, both featuring Velux windows to allow natural light to filter into the space each morning and are served by a sleek family bathroom, containing a spacious walk-in shower, basin and WC. To the exterior, there are two off-road parking spaces and a large lawn garden with a large trampoline, where children and your canine companion can play beneath the sunshine, whilst you savour the countryside views, which surround. A leisurely 10 minute walk takes you into the centre of the village of Cononley and train station, where its interesting 17th century heritage is still visible in some of the buildings, as well as reminders of its heyday as a 19th century centre for hand loom weaving and lead mining, and is home to a choice of two pubs and a village shop. The village also has a train station, where you can easily access to the nearby town of Skipton, where you can stroll along the canals that line the town before visiting the 12th century Skipton Castle and the Craven Museum and Gallery. The city of Leeds is also accessible from the village, whilst the endearing village of Haworth is a scenic drive away, where you can visit the Brontë Parsonage Museum to uncover the history of the famous sister who once lived here, with collections of personal items, letters and manuscripts before lacing up your walking shoes to roam the Penistone Hill Country Park and discover the scenic Brontë Bridge and Brontë Waterfall. Venture to the national park to find even more outdoor adventure or hop on board the famous Settle to Carlisle Railway line to soak up the views at your leisure, whilst the attractions of The Strid Ancient Woodland and the Stepping Stones at Bolton Abbey are sure to delight a family of all ages. Secure your stay at Woodlands to enjoy an action-packed getaway.

    We had another fantastic stay at Woodlands. The apartment has everything you need a real home from home. The setting and gardens are beautiful and peaceful. The owners are friendly and helpful. This was our second stay and we would not hesitate in booking this holiday property again.

  • Valerie

    Owners very welcoming and friendly but not intrusive. We love Cononley village (where we have friends) and surrounding area. Would highly recommend Woodlands as the perfect base.
