Bobbin Cottage is a cosy place to spend a few days exploring the dale's. The interior is modern and very comfortable, although the single bedroom is quite small. The heating is very effective and we were never cold. Kitchen is well equipped so we had no difficulty cooking our meals. Shops are close by and the Royal Shepherd pub around the corner serves outstanding food. The Leeds-Liverpool canal is almost at your front door and provides hours of peaceful walks beside the water. We would recommend this cottage for couples wanting a relaxing holiday in Skipton.
