  • "Great location about 5 minutes walk to High St."

    Parking was a bit of a problem due to non residents parking on road during the day. Both dustbins were full when we arrived so appeared previous occupants had not put them out to be emptied by the refuse collectors. Looks to have been recently refurbished and decorated. Bonus also of a downstairs toilet.

  • "It was a great cottage clean fresh."

    Everything you need.i would stay again. Put had issues with the shower had to put towels on the floor to stop the water. Because the shower water would hit the wall should be in the middle. And only used oven twice because it always set the smoke alarms off even with the doors open. The bins were full couldn't put rubbish out.and the wife fell back his uneven and needs fixing. Put its a lovely place.and would recommend it.

  • "A clean comfotable house with everything we needed for a pleasant stay."

    Reasonably priced. Its just off the main shopping area and behind a nightclub and may be noisy on weekends. We stayed Monday to Friday and there was no noise. Outside Parking is on a first come basis but we had no problems with parking. It's near the canal which was a nice walk with the dog. It's a good touring base for Yorkshire

  • "The outside area was not clean, and is need of some maintenance (gate rickety) and with a little bit of attention could be a pleasant area."

    Although the property was clean overall, it just needed more attention to detail, including door and window recesses, the downstairs toilet was dusty and the cistern kept sticking. The vacuum cleaner is not fit for purpose, not powerful enough and the unit quickly got hot. Finally the bath towels are possibly the smallest we have ever seen. The location is great with easy access to the town, pubs, restaurants, and railway station.

  • "A beautifully presented cottage, which was spotlessly clean and tidy."

    Lots of pros eg very comfy beds, short walk to town, well stocked kitchen, good shower and cloakroom Cons, No drawers or wardrobes in any bedrooms only hanging rails, noise from the nightclub on the main street with windows open, extra warm duvet provided in a very hot summer.

    Thank you for your comments Alison. We agree one of the cottages advantages is it being central and at the heart of Skipton. Our housekeeping team set themselves high standards. We do hope you visit Bob's cottage again. regards Cathy and Jim Property Owner

  • "The property was immaculate and a pleasure to stay in, however there were a couple of issues, 1."

    The cutlery was unsuitable and needs replacing with stainless steel as unable to clean around the plastic handles. 2.The toilet seat in the bathroom is loose and ill fitting . The outside yard could do with brightening up. But overall it was a delightful stay.

    hello Caroline Thank you for your feedback. It is lovely to hear you very much enjoyed your stay at Bob's cottage and that the property overall met your standards. House keeping will sort out any issues with the toilet seat, you pointed out, sorry about that, however it should be resolved very soon. The yard is undergoing a few enhancements, which we hope you would approve of should you stay at the cottage again. best wishes Cathy and Jim Property Owner

  • "A really convenient position for the town (most things just a short walk away)."

    Cottage had everything we needed and was clean and well presented. Skipton itself was a delight with independent shops and friendly people. Our only very minor niggle was not knowing how we should leave the property as this wasn't in the instruction folder. We stripped beds and left linen and towels on the floor.

    Thank you Philip for taking the time to comment. Yes Skipton is indeed a friendly town. We are lucky with our housekeeping team, they look after the cottage really well. And your comment regarding the bed linen and towels is duly noted. Hopefully you will visit Bob's Cottage again in the future. Best regards Cathy and Jim Property Owner

The property

Settled in the Yorkshire Dales in the town of Skipton, rests this pleasant mid-terrace, Bob's Cottage.

Enjoying a central location with easy access to amenities and attractions, this stone-fronted cottage is idyllic for both families and friends.

Arriving at your holiday home, discover the sitting room, where you can unwind on the sofa as the Smart TV plays your favourite shows.

Stepping through the property, locate the spacious kitchen/diner, hosting an electric oven and hob to prepare heart-warming meals, which can be enjoyed together at the dining table.

Carry the conversation outside onto the rear courtyard and why not uncork a bottle of wine to savour a glass on the furniture?

As day draws to night, head back inside and venture upstairs to find the family bathroom, with a bath to relax your muscles and an overhead shower to freshen up.

When you're ready to rest your head, take your pick between two doubles and a single bedroom, where you can curl up with a hot chocolate and escape into a book.

Awaken with a home-cooked breakfast at the dining table, as coffee is poured, and plans are made for the day ahead.

A short stroll will lead you into the bustling centre of Skipton; here you can tour the medieval castle, stroll along Springs Canal and sample delicious eateries when you fancy a break from cooking.

Lace up your walking boots to explore sweeping moorlands or venture into the market town of Grassington, home to quirky shops and Grassington Folk Museum to learn about rural life.

Visit the heart of Yorkshire with a trip to the town of Harrogate, where you can relish a traditional afternoon tea at Bettys Café Tea Rooms, explore The Stray gardens to soak in the 1700’s or put yourself to the test at Parthian Climbing Harrogate.

All this and more awaits at the charming Bob's Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.

About the location

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!
