Absolutely lovely little cottage very well kitted out in all ways. Arrived later than expected and greeted with lovely message from owners, fizz and milk in fridge , crisps, biscuits and delicious ginger cake.
Bed very comfortable,lovely shower didn’t use the sauna but looked great.
Had a fantastic week for my 75th birthday my son living nearby.
Was due to stay last September but due to a bereavement had to reschedule at last minute owners were very understanding.

"Excellent clean and welcoming property."
It's a very old house and the owners have renovated it into a very comfortable place with a fully fitted kitchen, a lovely bathroom with a great shower and his and hers sinks plus a sauna. We thoroughly enjoyed our week visiting the local area and taking the train to Skipton. The train service in Cononley is exceptional and we only wish we had the same where we live. It is worth pointing out that the stairs in the cottage are quite steep so may present difficulty for people with mobility issues. Apart from that we'd have no hesitation in recommending The Snug as a great place to stay.

Cannot fault the property in anyway. The little extras the owners leave for you and your pet on arrival are much appreciated. There is a train station 5 mins walk away which will take you into the heart of the Yorkshire Dales if you don't won't to drive but some places you need the car. I would recommend this property fabulous stay and well worth every penny.

"Three years after first booking we arrived at The Snug."
( thanks covid!)
The Snug was spotless, with flowers and fizz waiting…along with some lovely ginger cake. Location could not be bettered. Shop and two pubs well within a five minute walk, as was the station. We made fourteen rail journeys…so convenient, fast, clean and cheap, and visited some great places. However, Salt Mill at Saltaire was the star, along with Haworth, Skipton and Ilkley. A great relaxing and interesting holiday in excellent accommodation. Heartily recommend.

"We had to cut our stay at the cottage because if a urgent family matter and we needed to get home soonest."
This means a quick review, just based on our few days there.
Village and location great. We met a couple of locals and they gave us great advice on walks and we did get a couple in! Litton is a great find for walks.
Skipton.....Coopers for brekkie/coffee/lunch....what a fantastic find.
We found the local Farm Shop....Keelham.
Nice produce, good place to eat too, recommend brekkie again! A little pricey for the produce....have seen better.
If going to Haworth...dont go on a Monday or Wednesday. .it seems closed! The Bronte museum is definitely not open on those days.
Cottage very nice. It has a free standing bath like we have at home, so I could still have a nice long soak and after a couple of long walks, it was needed. We thought that the Information Basket left by Andrea was very informative. We had booked the steam railway but had to go home , so wasn't able to experience it but Iooked like it would be worth the £48 paid.

"We had an excellent five nights at The Snug at the beginning of February 2022."
It was a very welcoming place to come back to each evening after days out walking in the dales. The facilities are first class so we were really comfortable, with the sauna allowing us to relax away any aches and pains of walking in wintertime. It’s location is good, being near local amenities and just a short drive from many enjoyable places to visit. We walked into Skipton one day and caught the train back due to the frequent service. Our dog Phoebe was made welcome at The Snug and at many other places in the area, which was a real bonus. Meeting Andrea, the owner in the local pub was a pleasure. She was really welcoming and friendly. All in all a great few days in a comfortable and convenient location. We would recommend The Snug to anyone who wants to visit the Skipton area.

We loved the little touches such as the potted violas by the door, the welcome pack (flowers, cake, milk, biscuits and dog treats) and a personally written card from the owner.
The property was immaculately clean and regarding the kitchen, the owners had thought of everything their guests may need.
I loved the framed Stephen Hawkins quotation in the beautiful bathroom and the log burner and vinyl record player was appreciated; also the very comfortable bed.
The owner was particularly understanding as a few days before our visit, my husband's illness meant it was touch and go whether we would be able to stay. The owner was very understanding and compassionate.
We would definitely recommend The Snug to everyone!

I ended up not unpacking everything as this cottage has everything you need. Grateful for the cake, biscuits and fizz with milk in the fridge on arrival and the log burner ready to light. We made full use of the cottage facilities with a gorgous deep bath and sauna. Our days were spent out and about at Skipton woods, Malham Cove and Haworth with glorious weather for January. Our evenings were spent by the log burner with a film or book, drinking fizz. We were only once unable to park outside the cottage but there is a small free car park further down that we were able to use. We returned home very chilled. Can highly recommend.

We had an issue with the key safe when we arrived and called the owners who said they would be right round, although they didn't need to because as soon as we put the phone down, it opened. Nice living space, lovely fire,comfortable armchair and settee. Enough wood for three fires (well, we used it for three fires). Quirky sauna and a lovely bathroom. We wanted to take the pillows home with us as we haven't slept that comfortably in a long time. Have an Alexa who was constantly asked about the weather. Left cake and fizz on arrival and some provisions, including milk. Not sure what to do with the milk bottles so we left them (although I should have asked at the shop....sorry!) Cannot recommend enough!

Suggestion: come ready prepared with food for your first evening as there is nothing local that is open / serves food.

"Set in the attractive village of Cononley The Snug is a beautiful and well equipped cottage, perfect for our weekend break on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales."
The village boasts 2 great pubs (alas neither serving food at the time of our visit) a village shop, train station with the surrounding area a walkers paradise.
The cottage itself stands in the centre of the village with 'off road' parking and neighbours who are on hand with a warm Yorkshire welcome and helpful advice on where to go and what to do. Upon arrival you are met with a spotlessly clean, cosy, warm, delightfully furnished cottage and a substantial 'welcome pack' provided by the owners.
We didn't use the sauna and I personally found the bed a bit uncomfortable (hence the reduced comfort rating) but overall we couldn't fault this property and will certainly be looking to book another weekend away early 2022. Would certainly recommend.

The cottage was immaculate and felt very clean. I personally think it looked even better in the flesh! The sauna was a lovely addition and we used the record player most days. Andrea left us a lovely starter pack and a beautiful homemade ginger cake, which is was so tasty! The cottage is very convenient as the village store is only a short walk away and provides most of what you need. If not, hop in the car for 10 minutes and there is a large Tesco in Skipton. There are footpaths right outside the front door, which are perfect if you’re bringing the dog. We found it perfect to get out and explore. We visited Malham Cove, Janet’s Foss, Goredale Scar, Malham Tarn, Settle, Victoria’s Cave, Druids Temple, Pateley Bridge and more. Nothing was ever too far away! We would definitely stay again.

We walked to canel path the Skipton from the house and another walk over the hills to the next village. We didn't try any of the pubs in the village but they looked nice. Very relaxing evenings spent with home cooked meals, wine, log burner and music (we took our own selection of records). Shower was very powerful and the bath relaxing. Enjoyed hearing the children's excited cries as they arrived for school in what must have been the first time for months!
Only downside for us was our car was too long to park in front of the house so we had to play musical parking spaces with the neighbours, who obviously didn't appreciate our parking although totally legal and we had our wing mirror broken from the pavement side. Hacked us off but certainly didn't spoil our holiday.

The nice treats that were left for us ( namely scones with butter and jam and a chilled bottle of cava ) this was drunk and eaten on the private patio at the rear in the glorious sunshine.
The rail links to anywhere from cononley station was perfect.
Cononley is a much expanding village with plenty of new builds blending in with the old, it also has a large campsite for tents and tourers.
However on the downside the amenities are very disappointing.
The village boasts 2 pubs serving meals, one is closed under offer the other( New inn)is open but only seems to serve meals at certain times in the summer season when it pleases them.
The village shop was closed and locked up as was the chinese take away both allegedly under new ownership.
If we were to return to cononley we would look to see if the amenities had improved.
Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed the property and the scones!. We are glad to say that the shop is reopening in October. We do leave takeaway menus in the property that do deliver and we also provide details of local restaurants. Property Owner
