Lovely little cottage with off road parking for medium car. Situated overlooking canal and walking distance of the Main Street. Great welcome from the owner. Really recommend Skipton as a centre for exploring nearby attractions including Grassington and Bolton Abbey. Above all the friendliness of the Yorkshire people will make for a great relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

The accommodation was ideal for us. It was well presented with everything you would need. It is in a great location, very quiet and yet only 50 yards from the main street. A good choice and a very enjoyable holiday.

We had a lovely week's holiday in Mallard's Nest. Its a cosy, well equipped and very well maintained cottage just two minutes from the High Street but in a quiet location overlooking the canal. Onsite parking for a small/medium car is a real bonus, given the town centre location.Ruth, the owner, is very nice and helpful.We hope to return in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mallard's Nest to other visitors to Skipton.
