28 Devonshire Street

was disappointed when I arrived at 3pm on the first day of my holiday to find the cleaners arriving at the same time.

There were 3 of them and they said occupancy was at 4pm (which is incorrect). I had to wait in the car for 45 minutes, which wasn’t great given that I had been travelling for 5 hours. There was no welcome pack (just some sachets of coffee and tea bags). No milk to make a cuppa! There was tea left in the teapot from the previous occupant. The property was not unclean and was tidy. However, there was a dreadful smell in the fridge, which put me off using it except for milk. There were a number of tiny flies present in the kitchen which would suggest a deep clean should take place. On the last day the shower would not switch off so I called the number given to me by Sykes for the Caretaker. It was the second time I had tried to make contact but on both occasions had to leave a message and I never got a response. There was also no shower mat for inside the bath and this should be provided as it was slippy. Also car parking in the street is difficult as workers in Skipton use the roads for parking as it is close to the centre. Overall it was reasonable accommodation but a bit tired.

Quiet location very close to town centre.

Spacious main bedroom and bathroom and two sitting rooms. Very comfortable bed. Excellent central base for walking and sightseeing in the Yorkshire Dales

An additional colonial style venetion blind, similar to the ground floor bay window, should be provided, it would provide a more clean stylish option than the single roller and roman blind combo.

A great location, easy walk into town and local countryside walks.

Well equipped kitchen with everything you need, with very comfortable dining and living areas. A Christmas tree in the living area was such a nice touch! Spacious bedrooms and bathroom, comfy beds, plenty of storage space. Good information provided about appliances, how things worked and plus great suggestions for local facilities.

Lovely property ,comfy beds .

also it was really handy for walking into town.i only took the car 3 times when I was going out of skipton for a walk

Kiwi Cottage (28 Devonshire Street) is a very comfortable and well appointed cottage.

Plenty of space for 2-3 people, the rooms are clean and well decorated. It is well located and getting from the cottage to Skipton town centre takes only a few minutes on foot. We did have a problem about contacting the managing agent of the property as the phone number given by the owners was (according to BT) an incorrect number.

Lovely cottage, very quiet but central location.

Had everything we needed and more. Great shower in spacious bathroom. Really comfortable beds.

The parking could be a bit of a problem Builders two doors down started bang on roof repairs approximately 0730hrs Tues Wed Thursday We left one day early Thursday We had no problem with the house

Great accomodation ideally situated for easy walk into town.

The house has everything you could need for a holiday It has a king-sized & double bed both with comfy mattresses. The property was warm & comfortable. We visited Skipton castle & had a canal boat ride. We also went on the Keighley & worth valley railway & had a drive to Settle. A friend recommeded Billy Bobs american diner it's just outside Skipton great for kids, we had a very nice meal & fab deserts. We had a lovely few days.
