  • "Canal view apartment was excellent."

    The location was wonderful with a lovely view,and ideally situated as it’s just a short walk into Skipton along the canal path. The apartment is very spacious and well designed with a very comfortable open plan living area and kitchen. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay there and look forward to going again.

    We found the property very clean, very comfortable and very convenient. Step out of the front door and you’re almost on the tow path, which provides an easy, scenic stroll into Skipton town centre. We found the owner of this property to be responsive and conscientious. We would happily return!

  • "We had a wonderful stay at Canal View."

    The apartment had everything we needed, well equipped . It is decorated to a high standard . Lovely and bright with an open plan feel but also cosy and warm . The canal frontage is nice with a view of trees opposite which were a lovely Autumnal colour . An easy walk along the tow path into Skipton is ideal . A very comfortable Apartment that I would return.

  • "A lovely property, well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay."

    Not really suitable for anyone with a disability as access is not straight forward. Neither the owners or ourselves were to know this, never having been before. Nevertheless we had an enjoyable stay. Thank you.

SKIPTON

Grassington 9 miles; Harrogate 20 miles.

Known as “The Gateway to the Dales”, Skipton is well placed for visiting all that the Dales has to offer, whilst York, the Lake District and the West Coast are also within easy motoring distance. This lovely market town has much to interest the enthusiastic visitor, boasting an ancient castle open to the public, a beautiful old parish church and a colourful market occupying the cobbled setts each side of the high street. In 2014, The Sunday Times named Skipton as Britain's "best place to live" and two years later placed it among the nine best towns in Yorkshire and the North-East. Steam railways with regular excursions are available at Embsay and Bolton Abbey, and the Leeds to Liverpool Canal passes through Skipton with the 1 mile long Foulridge Tunnel and the 5-rise locks at Bingley within a short travel. Golf, swimming, squash, tennis and snooker are all available locally and the excellent public transport means the car can be left at home!
