Modern, very clean and comfortable on the inside and a local stone cottage on the outside. Our eleventh visit to the Dales and wider Yorkshire. Nice to be in Skipton for once with all the amenities on the doorstep. Convenient for train and bus stations.Lots to do in the area and having tourist office nearby was useful.A great holiday, thank you.Out of owners control - first weekend was Skipton Carnival and there was some noise at night from a bar or party nearby.

Lovely cottage - well located for exploring Skipton itself (Castle, canal and more) and further afield by train e.g. Settle to Carlisle line and Lancaster. Would love to return. We arrived by train but allocated parking space was rather small.

Great location and everything you need in the cottage. Parking is not great.
