We really enjoyed the whole week and found Skipton had something for every mood.
The welcome pack was above and beyond and Tony made it clear he was available for any issues without being at intrusive.

"What a lovely, clean, comfortable and well equipped cottage."
Such a quiet location yet only 5 minutes walk into the centre of Skipton. Plenty to see and do in the town itself and only short drives to amazing scenery and walks. Would definitely recommend and Tony the owner was very friendly and helpful …. nothing was too much trouble and the welcome pack was the best we’ve ever had !! 10/10

"Had a fab 3 night weekend at 4 Prospect Place."
The cottage has everything you could want. Tony goes to so much trouble to make it homely and welcoming for his guests. Left us lovely treats in the fridge, bread cakes and even bunches of flowers. Yes, parking could be tricky I imagine in the height of the season, but we managed to get a space on the end road on Friday, then Sat and Sun we actually got on Prospect Place right opposite. It literally is only a five minute walk down into town, and maybe 10 at a push back up, it’s not as steep as some are saying. Really enjoyed it, and will definitely stay again if we’re back up that way. Thank you Tony!

Well-equipped kitchen.

Loads of space for luggage, etc.
Warm and comfortable with effective central heating and stove-style gas fire
Quiet area, but just a short wak to the scenic canal area and the town centre.
It would have been a bonus to have a vacuum cleaner for odd spilt crumbs, bit that's a minor point. Also the stairs are fairly steep, which is something to consider if you are not very fit.

We stayed here in September so when we had planned a short Christmas trip to South Yorkshire it was a no brainer to add on a few days in North Yorkshire, and there was only one place we wanted to stay.
With all the uncertainty about travel at the moment Tony was very accommodating and kept us up to date with options as others changed their bookings.
When we arrived the Christmas tree was up and the candles lit (rechargeable ones that is) in the lounge so it was homely as soon as you walked through the door. Already planning a stay in 2022.
