Angel Cottage

Angel Cottage was clean and comfortable and well equipped.

The only problem we had is as we were leaving we noticed both our cars had been scratched with presumably a key the full length of the driver's side while parked on the roadside. There is parking for one car at the back of the property so one car was always parked on the road in front. We were disappointed with the garden as a photo of the back of the property showing a grassed area was included we presumed this was part of the garden but it is in fact outside of the property boundary. There is a small courtyard garden.

We have been staying in cottages all in different parts of Yorkshire for 25 years and this cottage is at the top of our list as one of the best

We requested that the double bed be split into two twin beds two weeks before the start date.

Upon arrival, this had not been done. I rang the booking agent, who said they would contact the cleaner and get it done. I later received a text to say that the bed had now been set up as a double (the exact opposite of my request), and the cleaner had supplied a photo. I rang again and asked for it to be sorted out properly. I also rang the owner, who was in Spain, and was told by both parties that they would contact the cleaner. Nothing more happened, and we were forced to split the bed ourselves and make it up as two singles, as we had originally requested. I believe both the Sykes and the owner did contact the cleaner, but the cleaner simply did not carry out the request.

We enjoyed our stay at Angel cottage,everywhere was very clean,and well equipped.

The seating in the lounge was very comfortable,with electric recliners on both settee’s,and the dining room had ample space for six adults to eat at the table. Skipton is a lovely town,and is only a ten minute walk along the canal or road. Skipton has very good bus device,and from the bus station you can cover most of the area. We were fortunate to have sunny weather in early March,so we saw it at it’s best,and will return

A wonderful place to stay.

Spotlessly clean. Beautifully decorated and furnished. Spacious and well-equipped. Great location for the train station. Dedicated parking space behind the kitchen at the back of the property. We loved it here and didn't want to leave! It's hard to tell from the listing but in case it matters to others (as it did to us), the bathroom and adjoining bedroom are at the front of the house, overlooking the road. And the other 2 bedrooms are at the back of the house. The separate toilet (not really a second bathroom) is under the stairs, off the dining room. Also, it's worth noting that you can't access the canal at the back of the house, but you can get to it a bit further down the road and walk into town that way, which is a lovely walk, away from the busy main road.

A lovely clean well maintained delightful cottage with good location.

...would return again. A happy house.

Fantastic property could not fault fully equipped kitchen and more.

Only downside very narrow entrance to parking and was unable to park in reserved space as another vehicle parked in space.

We really enjoyed our stay at Angel cottage.

The cottage was very clean and provided everything we needed. Very spacious and comfortable for five of us. Great location for the train station and supermarket as well as the town centre. You can hear the traffic and occasionally the trains but this was not a negative, we expected some traffic noise. We will definitely stay here again when visiting Skipton.

The property was fantastic.

Clean, spacious, everything we needed was provided. The only niggle was the parking and trying to exit the property onto the road

We arrived at the property and initially we were really pleased the property is really spacious and very well appointed.

the Kitchen has everything you could need and more and the added sofa in the dining room was good. Location to town is also good with a short walk down the canal into the center. On initial inspection all looked clean and then the cleaner turned up which was a bit odd. It was her first visit to the house so i don't think she knew where most things were (including the downstairs loo) so she did a quick (very quick) once over and left us to it. Our first issue was that the child stairgate was not left out and when we eventually found it there were no attachments with it so we couldn't use it. We did speak to the owner but she is based in Essex and couldn't help so we had to go and spend thirty quid on a stairgate so our 2-year old granddaughter was safe They did leave a travel cot out for us which was new but it was very basic and we had to pad the bottom out with blankets so it was comfortable for our granddaughter to sleep in. Main issue is the neighbors, who don't have any concept of neighborly living. We had to knock on their door at 1:30am to get them to stop the shouting, screaming and banging in the adjoining bedrooms as it was keeping us and our 2-year old awake. Luckily for them they didn't answer the door but obviously got the idea and shut the noise up. But this did put a bit of a downer on the trip as we were on edge wondering if we were going to be disturbed very night. Unfortunately these things just let it down and yes two issues can be fixed but I don't know how the neighbors from hell get sorted

The property was great exactly what was stated in listing.

Very clean comfortable would definitely use again.

A little more information on finding the cottage ie (cottage two hundred meters past the railway on the broughton road skipton.

Apart from that the cottage had everything you could want The centre of skipton and the leeds to liverpool canal is just a short walk away.it is also just a short distance away from the yorkshire dales and its many attractions . All in all a great holliday.Thank you kevin and dawn(owners) for dealing with the lack of two days central heating so promptly

Angel Cottage is a Victorian mid terrace which has been updated and furnished to a good standard.

The theme of angels and hearts is used throughout. The beds are comfortable and the dining room is a great place to congregate in the centre of the property. The kitchen is very well equipped and the private courtyard garden is a real sun catcher all day for relaxing and al fresco dining. As with many older properties the ceilings are high so the stairs are a bit steeper than standard. The owners have thoughtfully provided rails on both sides of the stairwell. The ground floor has gloss tiles or laminated wood floors with rugs. Visitors who are not so steady on their feet need to be careful as the rugs are not held by grippers and there is a slight ramp at the threshold between the hall and dining room. The big plus of this cottage is its proximity to the amenities of Skipton. Rail station just 2 minutes walk as is the entrance to the canal towpath and the lovely Aireville Park. Supermarkets 3 minutes walk and the centre of town and Skipton Castle a 10-15 minute stroll. Less good was the noise from the main road outside which is persistent between 6am and midnight. When the traffic stops a bright security light for the railway comes on until dawn. This particularly affects the Lounge and Bedroom Two. Parking at the rear of the property was a boon as we often found street parking to be unavailable.

The cottage was very clean and very nicely appointed.

Plenty of kitchen equipment (including choice of cafetieres which was greatly appreciated). Beds were very comfortable. Ideally located for walks on the canal and up into Skipton. Close to the supermarket and station. Good seating area in the back however the weather meant we made little use of it. An ideal holiday cottage with a very nice feel.

A cosy, well appointed property in a great location convenient for Skipton, Saltaire, Haworth and beyond: all the places we planned on visiting.

Even Blackpool wasn't too far to visit. Morrison's supermarket on our doorstep for stocking up on supplies. Beautifully dressed for a Christmas stay, great Christmas tree in the bay window in the lounge made it very festive. Really enjoyed our stay.

This was an ideal property for our needs.

(3 couples). Large bedrooms, very good facilities, and well maintained. Within an easy walk to the centre of town.

A wonderful place to stay.

Very close to the train station, a short walk to the shops and into the town centre, some lovely pubs and gorgeous restaurants and amazing history. The cottage was clean, tidy and well laid out.

Angel cottage was lovely ,clean & spacious.

Kitchen really well equipped. Location great for short stroll into town . Bathroom lovely looking but bath a bit of a chore to fill & narrow . Shower area also a squeeze but wouldn't stop me returning had a great time .

Really close to all amenities.

The cottage was clean and tidy with everything you could need.

Angel cottage was definitely one of the best holiday homes we've stayed in.

It had everything you could need, just like being at home. Everything was in good condition and very clean. Despite the road it was actually a quiet location and really convenient for walking into Skipton, either along the road or along the canal path. Will definitely make a return visit and bring some family with us next time as there is plenty of room.

Angel cottage is great , good location , really like the fact there was cleaning products , toilet/bathroom cleaning products , dishwasher tablets, washing machine tablets etc We did ask for the king bed to be split into 2 which wasn’t the case when we arrived.

We split it ourselves . Comfy furniture , beds were comfortable, bathroom was nice , lovely bath , shower room was ideal. Kitchen had everything you needed & more. We stayed Easter holiday time and you could always park out the front on the main road , which we had to do because there never seemed to be enough room to park our large vehicle in the private space to the rear of the property. Would recommend & definitely would stay again.

Really enjoyed our stay in Angel Cottage.

Conveniently situated just a short walk along the canal path into the centre of Skipton - which is delightful, and a five minute walk to the railway station, Morrisons supermarket and B&M superstore. But the best thing was the cottage. Everything is provided and more. It's spotlessly clean, very comfortable, has its own parking space at the rear, very tastefully decorated and has a log burner in the living room with plenty of logs to burn. All in all I give the cottage a big 9.5 out of 10.

Very nice spacious cottage a short walk from town centre.

Well equiped and clean. There is some noise from the main road but not excessive by any means. The reserved parking space is a bonus, although parking on the street is often possible.

The cottage was very nicely presented, close to the town centre and generally just as shown in the pictures.

It could do with a proper clean though to get rid of all the cobwebs on the light fittings, the bath scum and the hair in the plugholes!! A general dust wouldn't go a miss as well. All easy solved with a decent cleaning

Your General Feedback Would you like to provide feedback about the holiday property?

This will be shared with the property owner. I E-mailed owner with problems, she didn’t get back to me. I texted manager, she kept her phone off so:- a) locks didn’t work on downstairs bathroom & shower room b) DVD doesn’t work c) Handset in main bedroom, the back is missing and batteries are taped on. d) purple bedspread has a tear, there when we got there. e) There was no instructions for oven or microwave. The neighbours are neighbours from hell, with them arguing and children shouting all hours of the night, the continually disturbed our sleep

Only the heating was not working when we went in but was resolved very quickly so we were lovely and warm ,very comfortable and not far from Skipton center.

Wish we had another week.

This is our second visit to Angel Cottage, and we will definitely go back again.

Lovely cottage, clean, everything you need there, good location for facilities and places to visit nearby.

Lovely home from home, everything you need for your self catering holiday, very cosy and immaculately clean.

Train station just a couple of minutes away also you can get onto the canal down the road and under the bridge, lovely walk.

Angel cottage was a truly delightful holiday cottage with three generous sized bedrooms and what we hadn't realised before we arrived - both a separate dining room and living room.

It was spotlessly clean with a very well equipped kitchen. Not that we used them all but five televisions .....and with just a short walk along the canal into Skipton with its numerous restaurants, cafes and shops, the cottage provided everything it said in the description and more, much more.

A great cottage for our family stay.

Well equipped, comfortable, spacious and incredibly clean. With a parking space around the back of the house. It's a lovely short walk into Skipton Town centre along the canal. I definitely recommended this holiday cottage as a great place to stay.

Had a lovely stay at angel cottage very clean well maintained situated in a ideal place to all amenities would highly recommend and definitely come back

A well presented holiday cottage, well equipped and with a pleasant, private outside space.

The road outside is very busy and noisy, not too much of a problem when the windows are shut but could be a problem in warmer weather when windows are open. It wasn't a problem for us as we were only a couple staying but I would mention that there isn't a master suite as mentioned in the cottage description. Upstairs there are three good size bedrooms. The "shower room" is literally just a shower in a cupboard across the hall and there is no sink in there so after showering in a very confined space you have to come out into the hall and then go in to the bathroom, also accessed from the hall, to finish getting ready - may be a problem if there are other people in your party. The bathroom is spacious but shower cannot be used so options are limited. The downstairs cloakroom was another confined space that opened directly into the dining room and so not ideal. None of the rooms appeared to have a super king size bed as stated. We did enjoy our stay and appreciated the easy walk into town along the canal towpath and it was an ideal location for exploring further afield.

Have stayed here before.

Has been upgraded further. Also nice Christmas touches with tree etc.

Lovely well equipped house.

Plenty of living and bedroom space. Plenty of towels and spare bedding . Televisions in every bedroom and living rooms. The bathroom was a beautiful feature room. The only negative we had, because of our family set up, was the cramped shower facilities and lack of a dryer. The house had excellent access to the canal, railway station and bus stops. 15 minutes walk gets you into the town centre where you have food and drink for every budget. All the pubs we used were staffed by friendly people.

The cottage was spotlessly clean, well equipped and in a fantastic location for both the train station (we holidayed by train) and town centre.

We are frequent users of self catering accommodation and this was one of the best we've ever been in. I read many of the previous reviews and some had unbelievably petty comments, none of the issues mentioned were real issues or affected us in any way, so don't be put off. Maybe the front rooms used to be noisy due to the road and railway opposite, but the acoustic window mentioned certainly sorted that as we had no noise issues at all. We were very comfortable in Angel Cottage and slept well every night. We would certainly book this property again.

Lovely cottage although there is street parking there is only enough room for one car around the back of the cottage

The Cottage was extremely well equipped with everything you could wish for.

The wine was a welcome accompaniment to our evening meal ! A game of Family Fortunes found in the cupboard provided some hilarious entertainment,ample DVDs, jigsaws, books etc.Well positioned for lovely canal walks,and an easy walk into Skipton centre. Large Morrisons and B&M across the road for all your supplies,plus plenty of choice of restaurants 10-15 minutes walk.Rear parking for one car plus space for one street parking We were a family of 6 and the cottage gave us everything we needed,TVs in every room,comfy beds,lots of storage,a very welcoming property overall

Angel Cottage is a pleasant cottage with plenty of character.

The listing didn’t mention how close it is to the railway station although it wasn’t a noise issue overnight at all. The rear access is a bit hairy if you have a large vehicle and it is on a busy road so care is needed when you exit. There was usually a road side space available though, so it wasn’t essential to use the rear access. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped; two out of the three bedroom doors wouldn’t close, and we would have appreciated a wooden spoon in the kitchen. When we arrived we found a bottle of wine on the table, which was a lovely touch. The location was good for us - we know the area very well but it was the first time we had stayed in Skipton. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

A more informative set of directions to access the parking would be beneficial.

Angel cottage was very well equipped, spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

The property was well equipped & very comfortable.

It was well cared for and beautifully clean. We thought there were two bathrooms in the property, one with a bath & one with a shower, plus a downstairs wc. There was a downstairs wc. There was a bathroom with a shower over the bath/shower. There was a notice on this shower advising it was for decoration only, not for use. There was a shower cubicle in a separate room, just a shower cubicle, no sink or wc. The property sleeps 6 - one usuable shower between 6 people is a potential problem. As we didn't have more than 4 of us there at once it was manageable. Yes, there is a bath. A beautiful, large, free standing bath that would have taken an age to fill. As all but one of our party are 60 over we tend to shower rather than bathe. There was no QR code in the property on arrival. There was a file on the dining table table with a phone number for a caretaker. I called this number and the caretaker advised she would contact the property owners and provide the QR code as soon as possible. Our stay began on a Saturday, the QR code arrived on Wednesday. Our friends had left (due to an unrelated issue that arose) before it arrived so did not actually check in. Shower & QR code unavailability are where Angel Cottage failed to meet expectations. In every other way it met or exceeded expectation. We had no issues with parking (two cars) or noise. For most of our stay the weather was colder and wetter than wished for so we appreciated that the heating was on. We didn't use the outside space because of the weather. It was an easy, 10 minute walk, either along the road or the canal tow path, to the bottom of Skipton high street and everything the town has to offer. A less than 5 minute walk to the train station, Aireville Park and a large supermarket. It's a bonus not to have to drive everywhere. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider booking Angel Cottage again. We'd just need a rota for the shower if there were 6 of us.

cottage was very clean had plenty of room had everything we needed and was only a, 15 minute walk from the town center

The property was very much as described, which was very spacious, comfortable, clean and with good facilities.

There was quite a bit of noise from the road outside and the railway opposite, but once the window was shut this wasn’t a problem. The other two rooms faced the rear so there was no problem. The kitchen was well equipped, the outdoor very private space perfect and the parking space at the rear was ideal. There was only one thing; we appeared to only have one bath towel per room, unless of course we didn’t find the other ones. All in all a very nice property ideally positioned for the town and the railway station and offering excellent value. Would definitely book again.

If we had known that Angel Cottage was on a noisy main road we would not have booked it.

We left early due to this as we could not relax. The pictures of the back area need updating as the 4 chair table is now in the front garden (by the main road). There are 2 large, locked storage chests on the back patio which reduces the size considerably. Not a problem for us in March. There is a designated parking space at the back of the house which is clearly signed but it was not big enough for our car. So private parking for a small car. The house is very nice inside with lots of storage and nice comfy beds. The photos are a true representation of the inside of the house. Good position for walking down the canal into Skipton and beyond with access very near. Shared garden area scruffy.

Angel cottage was so welcoming and the heating was on for us on arrival as was a bottle of wine which was a lovely touch.

The whole experience at Angel Cottage was superb would definatly be back

Homely, comfortable and warm, visited with my sister's and had a lovely relaxing break.

Great location and plenty of room, decor fab.

Very Very noisy location, would not stay again

Lovely accommodation in an ideal location however the road is very noisy as is the rail yard opposite also parking was difficult

Angel Cottage was immaculately clean and very comfortable, with every available facility.

Skipton is a great place, as a lively town, and also a starting point to explore beautiful Yorkshire. Highly recommended.

Beautifully clean, all mod cons, easy walk into Skipton.

However as this cottage sleeps 6 we consisted of grandparents and a family, hence had two cars. Parking is not good at this location. You can get in round the back but on the street in front it is near impossible. Also perhaps not clear that there is a busy road and railway line at the front. Maybe the owner could have a word with the owners at No. 20 as we were kept awake for two nights with a man talking loudly on the phone at 2am in the morning (his bedroom would be above the archway at the front). Ended up banging on the wall.

Lovely cottage in a great location for all Skipton attractions, however parking can be difficult.

On arrival there was a vehicle parked to the rear of the cottage and we had to contact neighbours to find out who owned the vehicle and get it moved. The additional on street parking was also very limited and it was often difficult to park near the cottage.

The cottage was immaculate, it was great to come into a warm house.

It was very comfortable but teabags would have been useful rather than bottle of wine. On the downside, the parking was not available as someone was parked directly behind the cottage all weekend so we had to park on the road. Also the noise in the front bedroom from the freight yard at 4.00am was quite loud. The most bothersome issue was that when we returned on the Saturday from walking, the TV was on. It would be good to know that this is on a timer or can be activated remotely. We would like you to publish this feedback but the option does not seem to be available.

The TV in the sitting room had interference a lot of the time.

The kettle in the kitchen did not work properly some of the time, you had to hold down the switch to get it to connect. Everything else was excellent.

It was a lovely clean cottage with everything you would ever need and more.

The decor was lovely and the place was really well thought out. It’s pictures on the internet don’t do it justice. We were amazed at the amount of towels , crockery, cutlery, televisions, games, dvds etc. It was like home from home with everything you could ever need. I would definitely use Sykes Cottages again and would highly recommend. The only criticisms I would make are the key safe was around the back and it was difficult to see as everything was in the dark ,a sensory light would make it easier and parking was a bit hit and miss , it seemed to be a free for all and people parked wherever they wanted which was a bit of a nightmare.

The pro,unity to town,supermarket, and transport.

Initial problem with water heating, which was dealt with immediately and cheerfully. Would definitely recommend t o others
