Ermysted's Cottage

Enjoyed another stay at Ermysteds Cottage.

We have stayed here several times and always booked through Sykes Cottages. It is close to all amenities. Is very clean and comfortable. The stairs are very narrow but if you don't mind that it's fine. As we don't have a car the parking was not an issue for us. Would recommend this cottage to anyone. Thankyou Sally and Stuart.

Ermysted's cottage was just perfect; it was comfortable and very clean, the decor was lovely, the patio area was a lovely area to sit and relax in.

We travelled by train and it was less than 10 minutes walk from Skipton railway station, it was just a few minutes from the shops and centre of Skipton, it was a minutes walk to an amazing coffee shop. Just perfect.

The cottage is in a good location near the town.

About a 5 min walk and you’re in the centre. Located at the top end of town, near the castle. The cottage is set back from the main road and behind some shops. It’s nicely secluded. Parking is easy - by using a side road. I’d recommend this cottage to anyone except older people as the stairs are steep. Overall - it’s a very nice cottage indeed.

We had a lovely stay at Ermysted's Cottage with wonderful warm sunny weather.

It was a delightful, very comfortable and well maintained homely cottage. We particularly enjoyed sitting outside on the lovely patio on the warm summer evenings. Ermysted's Cottage is very convenient for the trains, buses and the town centre, we travelled there by train so these things were important to us. If there is one thing that could have been improved it woud have been to have a summer weight duvet on the king size bed as the winter weight one was rather warm for the time of year.

Delightful cottage!

It is spotless and well appointed. The location is perfect too! It is within walking distance of Bus station and Railway and all Skipton attractions. Thank you for a great stay! Christine.

Loved every minute of it such a clean place looks smart.

Will come back again 100% love it.

Finding a parking space not always easy contrary to what was implied in the listing.

Could be a problem for those with mobility issues. Similarly, stairs were VERY steep! Great property though - clean, comfortable and beautiful decor.

Cottage is lovely, clean and comfortable.

It has everything you need for a relaxing break. Have stayed here a few times now and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to family and friends.

We had to buy toilet paper as there was not enough.

We ran out of liquid soap on the first night. There was no dishwashing detergent supplied. The welcome pack consisted of a packet of biscuits. Not even a small bottle of Milk in the fridge. Only five tea bags for a three night stay. The toilet seat was loose which was uncomfortable. No toiletries. You were greeted at the front door with a whole lot of weeds including a significant sized nettle in front of the door. These gripes may not seem all that significant but when you pay in excess of £600 for three nights accommodation that makes them Important. I understand there is a School Holiday/Bank Holiday premium and I take that into account. By way of comparison we checked into a better located and bigger cottage in Louth today with a big welcome pack of half a dozen items, toiletries, abundant amounts of tea, coffee, toiletries, cleaning materials etc. The cost was nearly £200 less for the equivalent stay.

The cottage was extremely well maintained and clean with every facility.

The stairs were a little steep for older people and nearby parking was hit and miss. Otherwise we were very satisfied with the property and enjoyed our stay there.

We had a great stay.

Excellent location. Everything was lovely. Great base to explore Skipton and the beautiful dales. Keelham Farm shop was fabulous and only a 15 minute walk. Didn't get to park right outside the cottage but the bays in front were fine for loading/unloading and we always got a space nearby. Loved that we could walk to the centre and the station easily. Sorry we didn't comment in the visitor's book but left it till last minute and didn't have a pen!

We had a lovely stay in this cottage.

Clean and very well equipped. Very well situated in Skipton. We did find the stairs a bit steep. We managed but would not suit everyone.

Beautiful cottage.

Very clean and well maintained. Have stayed here before and will stay again. Owners very helpful should you need them. Would highly recommend.

Lovely cottage and we found Skipton a great location with very good rail links for exploring the Dales and other local sites of interest.

The owner was very responsive when we had a technical issue with the tv.

Lovely comfortable cottage close to all amenities.

A lovely cottage made more interesting by the brief history of the place included in the information pack.

Super location only a short walk from the town centre but very quiet at night. You could hear the owls over in Skipton woods. Everything was clean, with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable bedrooms and lounge. The back garden was a sun trap and the coffee shop in front of the cottage was a bonus! As previous visitors had noted, parking was not a problem and we had no problem parking at the front to unload and repack our car. All in all a great find and we will be back!

Very well equipped cottage in easy walking distance of Skipton.

Would stay again.

We loved our stay in Skipton and your cottage gave us a perfect base to explore the beautiful Yorkshire Dales!

Perfect holiday cottage ideal location .

Exceptionally clean and nice touches I.e biscuits tea and coffee , excellent advice and great little guide books

Ermysteads cottage .

We had a wonderful week in Skipton,it was only a 5/10 minute stroll to the centre/ marketplace,.parking was hit and miss at the property as it was first come etc.but we knew this ,but 50yds up the road (nextsideStreet )we never failed to find a space. The property was perfect for our needs ,I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it, but be aware I am 70 my wife is 68 the stairs are very steep would be very difficult for anybody with mobility issues.the bed was comfy and at night time very Quiet,and a lovely walk in shower . Netflix on tv if you need it it and WiFi was excellent.Would not hesitate coming back. Sue &Steve Leicestershire.

Great property.

Very impressed with cleanliness and facilities however I thought there could be more cleaning materials provided. Only had 1 bottle of multi purpose cleaner to clean everything. No toilet cleaner and no spare bin bags. This is just a minor thing and would not stop us staying there again. No other faults whatsoever. Would recommend.

The property was comfortable and spotless, with facilities provided as described.

As walkers ideally we would have preferred a bath to sooth aching limbs, but the shower was extremely effective and worked well.

Clean cosy cottage near all facilities!

Fantastic little bolt hole.

Easy walk into the centre of Skipton. Very clean and well equipped. No designated parking but ample places on surrounding streets. Great guest information pack on arrival with welcome gifts made the place feel very inviting.

Cottage was superb and really clean and comfortable.

A short walk into the High Street and whilst you can't park outside we parked on a side road nearby. The owner was very helpful when Sykes had not updated the property details with the new keybox code and we couldn't get into the keybox on arrival. She gave us the new code over the telephone. The cottage is a great location for exploring the Yorkshire Dales.

Nice property, very clean, well appointed.

Great Location. Stairs very steep!, parking not great. Enjoyed my stay though

Immaculately clean, beautifully decorated and well equipped cottage, a few minutes walk from the canal and centre of Skipton.

Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again.

Rather low on "basics" when we arrived little washing up liquid and only one disposable dish cloth no hand towel in kitchen?

We had a great week at the cottage.

It had everything you need including a private secluded patio to the rear of the cottage and it was so close to the centre. The cottage was so well equipped with everything you need. We will definately return to this property.

Cottage was just what we wanted.

..clean, comfortable, modern & great location. 5 minutes walk into town. Parking wasn't an issue as we parked just around the corner on private side street & we always got a space. Close to drive to some great beauty spots in the Dales.

Lovely stay in Skipton.

The cottage was of a very high standard of decor and comfort. Would recommend

A very well presented cottage in an ideal location, 5 minutes walk into Skipton and all its pleasures.

Plenty of Shops,Pubs and restaurants and Skipton Castle ( highly recommend), all within easy walking. Easy Driving to plenty of interesting places. Lots of walking if that's what you like. The Cottage itself was ideal for 2 people, quiet,clean and recently refurbished. The small yard at the back was great, sitting in the evening sun with a glass of wine reading and reflecting on a busy day enjoying ourselves. Ideal Break. Highly recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this well presented cottage, in a great location minutes from town centre.

Beautifully decorated with top quality finish. Certainly worthy of its "5 tick" rating. Parking in nearby car park was easy and worked for us.

Very comfortable clean cottage , the stairs are pretty step, but i have found that to be the case in four cottages that i have rented so far in Skipton .

But everything worked well in the cottage and as it,s only been on the market i think for this year you could tell how new all the fittings were, also very handy being that end of skipton for the railway station and only a ten minute walk into the center of the town. So very happy with my stay there even had two nice days of weather at the end of the week.

Although I'm 85, this was my first experience of renting a property!

(May 7th - 14th 2021) Very impressed by the detailed information received at all stages. My daughter and I were delighted with the standard of Ermytred's Cottage in Skipton, which set an incredibly high bar for any holiday property I may contemplate renting in the future. Everything went smoothly, resulting in a most enjoyable and relaxing break after a traumatic year of lockdowns - and moving, oh so reluctantly, last July from Yorkshire to Worcestershire to be nearer to family. Thank you so much.

One of the bezt equipped cottages we have stayed in and we have stayed in lot, furnished to a high standard and very conveniently located to the town centre.

The entire experience exceeded our expectations which is remarkable given the difficulties posed by covid.

The booking process was simple and information accurate. Ermysted cottage in Skipton where we stayed had just been renovated to a very high standard for a cottage of that age. Yes the stairs were steep but we are in our late 60's and were able to cope. The information on car parking meant we expected to have to be flexible and on occasions find alternatives, which we did. All in all a smashing week and one we hope to repeat in the future.
