What better place could there be to watch the world go by? Although perfectly rural, Skellgill does not feel remote as there is a small traditional dales farm close by. The house itself is extremely spacious and welcoming, keeping that warm, traditional and inviting feeling that you would hope a dales farmhouse would offer. The traditionally presented lounge offers a cosy open fire where you can relax those tired muscles after enjoying a day on the hills, or, perhaps fine dining is your forte, where better to enjoy dinner than in the wonderful spacious dining room adorned with the most beautiful original stone fireplace, high beamed ceilings and yet more picture postcard views. The space and welcoming features continue throughout the house, traditional, unspoilt and homely. Outside, the traditional cottage gardens continue to offer space and tranquillity, with lawn areas, seating areas and the wonderful beck in such stunning surroundings.

I’m the only reason I didn’t give 5 stars for cleanliness is because it’s a lived in cottage with lived in use, local amenities are none existent but we knew that when we booked. We had a fantastic Xmas break and would do it all again

Skelgill is my idea of heaven.. It's set down a long single track lane among just a few other dwellings . One being a working farm , so the only noises you hear are occasional tractors , cows mooing and sheep bleating . The surrounding views are breathtaking and locals very friendly. Skelgill is very spacious and comfortable . The owners have thought of everything you might need for your stay and have equipped it superbly . The nearby town of Hawes was great for shopping at the local Spa and has great pub food and chip shop. We stayed for a week but wished we had booked for a fortnight ! . Can't wait to book for next Spring now.
