Hallam's Yard

Had a great time at Hallams Yard.

The location of the property is fantastic. Your so close to everything Skipton has to offer and the parking is great. The property itself was very clean. Kitchen is new and very well equipped. The living room was great. If you fancy a movie night in you'll be well catered for with the DVD collection on offer. Upstairs is again clean loads of storage. shower over bath was ok for us, maybe the bathroom could do with an upgrade at some point to match the new look downstairs, but we were more than happy with it. We have stayed in skipton multiple times over the years and we shall definitely book Hallams Yard again.

Everything was great with the cottage no complaints at all we will be back in the future

Could do with some TLC.

Water stain on the wall of the second bedroom, and various places on walls and ceilings which could be tidied up and rust stains behind the toilet. But a lovely comfortable cottage which was in a quiet central location.

We love this place.

The cottage is so peaceful yet only a couple of minutes from the vibrant town centre. Parking is an absolute bonus and plenty of space. The dishwasher and washing machine are also so helpful. There is a drying rack too if you need to get clothes dry (it sometimes rains in Yorkshire). There is so much to see and do just a short drive away, or the buses are really good as are the trains. Perfect place to have a very happy holiday.

An absolute joy to stay in Hallam’s yard.

A lovely cosy cottage to stay in as you explore Skipton and the surrounding area. Access to the property is through shared yards, we received a warm welcome from the neighbours, a real community spirit. The High Street is a minutes walk away, a range of shops, cafes and restaurants available. Recommend Calico Jacks and Ovino Lounge.

We loved staying at Hallam's Yard.

It was really conveniently situated for the centre of town and great that it had its own parking place as well. All the beds were comfortable and there was a good amount of space in the living room and also the kitchen. It was also nice to have a little courtyard to sit out in which was quite a sun trap. I would definitely consider returning.

Excellent location - near the canal and canal basin where all sorts of things are happening - great for people watching - yet only a minute's walk from the busy high street, market, shops and restaurants.

Very well-appointed cottage with everything you could wish for being available. Directions for finding Hallam's Yard could be more precise with specific reference to street names, pubs and shops for example. We would certainly return despite the steep(ish) internal stairs and external cobbled areas not being great for those who are not good on their feet.

We had a lovely relaxing holiday.

We have stayed in Hallam Yard before but not this cottage. The cottage was lovely and cosy and warm. Ideal for visits to the castle, church and many places. Would highly recommend this cottage. Would also recommend the cottage has a “Name” plate like the others. Would suggest Light House maybe. Owners will understand I think lol. Really good holiday. Thank you Linda and George

We have visited this cottage several times now and are never disappointed.

Comfy, cosy and a home from home. Well situated for local experiences shops etc. The cinema is well worth a visit. Once again 5 happy visitors. Thank you.

An ideal holiday home with allocated parking.

The house had everything necessary for our stay including a nice welcome pack. Lovely being in centre of the town but so peaceful and the outside space was a bonus as we had a few days of beautiful weather. Would certainly book again.

Had a lovely week at Hallams Yard.

Cottage was warm, clean and comfy. Very convenient for town centre yet very quiet. Washing machine and dishwasher were a bonus. Would certainly come back.

Love this property, a real home from home, comfy , clean , warm and in a great location.

Fab!

Lovely cosy cottage in the heart of Skipton.

Clean and well equipped. Milk , tea, sugar and coffee provided for arrival plus a delicious cake and packets of biscuits. Most welcome after a journey. Only problem was we couldn't figure out how to get heat from the pretty living flame fire. That is just us. We hope to return next year.

This is a perfect property in an impossibly fantastic location.

Peaceful with the canal so close, yet a minute away from the town. Wonderful place. Upgrade to kitchen was very welcome, as was the new shower unit. Only teeny thing is that we are both tall so the bath towels were a bit on the scanty side. Will bring our own modesty covering towels next time. Still the most amazing place to stay though. Would thoroughly recommend

The roof needs to be fixed not patched The railing ar the top is coming loose on both sides.

We found that some finishes were a bir tough. The bathroom door should not have a crack. we did like the centralized position close to the market and pubs. In regards to the roof leak faster response is needed There should be a local number in case of emergencies to address serious concerns such as a roof leak going into/onto a bedroom/mattress

Really lovely cottage.

Everything you would need, even down to the cellotape which we did need on one occasion. All appliances up to date although we didnt use dishwasher. Excellent.

We have stayed at this property before & we were delighted with the new kitchen layout.

Everything is catered for & the property is spotlessly clean, a real cosy home from home experience. We will be returning here again in July. Forgot to say many thanks for the milk, cake & biscuits that were there on our arrival.

Had a lovely stay.

Cottage just as described. Tiny thing, I took hairdryer But one was provided but not listed as included. Owner had thought of everything, even umbrellas which was a lovely thought. Biscuits and cake a welcome addition when we arrived. Location and parking brilliant. Will definitely book again.

A wonderful cottage, even better than the photos!

We had a brilliant time, the cottages location is perfectly located for exploring lovely Skipton and further afield.

The cottage is gorgeous and well equipped.

It is well situated for exploring the area.

The perfect holiday cottage!

Our second time staying at Hallam's Yard.

It's a home from home and we will be back

Situated in centre of Skipton approximately 50 yards from Main Street .

very clean and tidy highly recommended

Fabulous cottage, I can see why customers return.

No hassle booking. Would consider Sykes in the future

We had a great stay in Skipton and the cottage formed a major part in that.

It was comfortable warm and the location was ideal being no more than 100 yards from the shopping centre and entertainment.. Being able to have parking dedicated to the cottage was fantastic and made coming and going easy. I will not hesitate when it comes to a return visit.

We do not believe anyone will find a better more comfortable or convenient holiday cottage.

The cottage was very comfortable and clean.

It was perfect and very close to all the amenities We couldn't be happier.

S very nice cottage, very clean and in a good area both for town and vehicle parking.

It does however need some updating and TLC. We found the heating, in particular, had not been attended to - boiler had to be adjusted, repressurised, radiator bled.

The cottage was lovely and comfortable, and most of the facilities were exactly what we needed.

The position of it is amazing, bang in the middle of town. The only issues we had were that the kitchen drawer opened, but didn't shut properly, and you had to wiggle and slam it, I imagine there was a knack. Also, there was no lock on the bathroom door, and as the only female among 4 of us, and the fact we spent a lot of time in the cottage due to Covid19 restrictions, we had to put the towel rail outside the door to say it was engaged.

Only that, in the current circumstances I would have felt more confident if a dishwasher had been available.

Relying on the previous occupants -or indeed anyone else- to wash up scrupulously by hand is unsatisfactory in my view. Of course I did know beforehand that there was no dishwasher but I wouldn’t book another property which didn’t include one. This is a general observation, not targeted at the Hallams Yard property.

This was our second stay at this cottage 2018 and 2020 Also stayed further along the row of cottages Location couldn’t be more ideal 2 mins to high street yet no noise.

We are seasoned holiday makers to Skipton we love the area walking fishing , eating out . Lots of choice and Foresters arms in Grassington serve lovely food. All round great location only downside is stairs in cottage not suitable for everyone. I don’t think that I would manage the stairs in the future.

Fabulous situation in the heart of Skipton.

Comfortable accommodation in pretty terraced cottage. The Royal Shepherd pub around the corner serves excellent food and the canal is so close. We had a magical week in our holiday home.

This was a great place to stay really convenient for the Dales and skipton is a lovely town to stay.

House was really cosy and great location

Could do with a freshen up and better cooking equipment

Loved the living space.

It was cosy and inviting. The location is superb being so close to the High Street, canal, pubs and restaurants. It was our 2nd time in the Hallam's Yard area and we will definitely be going back.

No - information provided was accurate and it was a very enjoyable holiday and an easy booking procedure.

Location of the cottage cannot be beaten.

So quiet and central to the town. Lots of transport to get you about without using your car.

The location is perfect, right in the centre of Skipton with a parking space, which is excellent.

The place is clean and well equipped, the only bad point would be the fridge, broken inside and too small, but I would come back there with pleasure.

There simply is no better location in Skipton for a stay than this cottage.

And having a reserved, easy to use parking space opposite your backdoor is wonderful. That is something many other nearby lets do not offer. You are only a short walk from the High Street, the Castle, M &S Simply Foods, pubs, etc. The train station is also within walking distance if you do not have a lot of luggage. I stayed here before in 2013 and the owners have made some nice improvements since then with a new gas cooker, new linens, etc. Hallams Yard just feels like home the minute you walk in. The lounge is so comfortable with the gas fire, nice TV, and loads of books, DVDs, and games for your use. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. Upstairs the bedrooms are rather compact, but the beds are very comfortable. The bathroom has a nice power shower and in the cabinet they even supply a few rubber bath toys for children. Truly the only possible negative to this holiday flat is the steep, narrow stairs--not a problem for many but would be an issue for anyone with mobility issues. I have large suitcases so I simple leave my case downstairs and take up what I need for the days of my stay. I highly recommend Hallams Yard to anyone coming to Skipton. I know I will certainly book again when I am in the area.

A perfect cottage in Skipton!

The location was fabulous - right in the middle of Skipton - and having its own parking place made it even better! Plenty of cafes and pubs nearby, excellent shopping and seriously pretty walks thru the Castle Woods! We visited several National Trust properties and also used our Historic Houses Association and English Heritage cards! And of course the Castle itself is definitely worth visiting! A truly memorable holiday.

This cottage is in a quiet area although in the centre of Skipton.

It is very convenient for shops, bars etc. The local area is fabulous for walking and sightseeing.

Great cottage, quiet but in a central location.

Warm and cosy. Would recommend to anyone wanting a holiday in Skipton.

Really enjoyed the holiday.

Thought the cottage was in an excellent position as it was very central for Skipton but very quiet.

The cottage is well placed for all the local amenities.

It is quite comfortable with the only downsides being very poor light for reading in the lounge and a sometimes noisy heating system.

The cottage was very conveniently located in Skipton just off the Main Street, yet even with this closeness surprisingly quiet and very comfortable.

The allocated parking space was very useful and it meant no stressing about where to park after going on for the day! If you had little ones like us the only slight issue we had was to make sure you move all the low lying breakable ornaments....... It was a fantastic week and we may well be back in the future thank you

Central Skipton with parking was ideal.

Cottage was comfortable and clean. Dealing with Sykes cottages staff was a pleasure; professional, friendly and efficient. Thank you x

We booked the cottage for family members.

They loved it: the location, the high standard of furnishing, towels, welcoming Yorkshire Parkin cake and the wide selection of DVD's . It would have been good to have a washing line as the weather was good. I know they are expensive to run but a tumble drier for the wet days would also be good. My family would like you to pass on their personal thanks to the owner, for the obvious care and attention to the fabric and decor. Thank you. .

The main thing about this listing is the same thing that occurred with the other Holiday cottage I rented through Sykes last year - lack of pertinent information.

The first thing that happened was that I didn't know how to lock the door. It may have seemed to the owner that it was obvious how to do it, but coming from abroad I was unfamiliar with that kind of door. It was extremely difficult to contact the owner, though Sykes tried very hard to do so. It was only that I had talked to a neighbour previously, who showed me how to get to the cottage - again not in the details - that I knocked on his door and asked him how to lock/unlock the door, and he kindly came and showed me, by which time Sykes had got through to the owner who said that I had to lift the handle to engage the mechanism. How would I have known this? Why not put it in the details. Why did I have to bother the neighbour about it? The cottage was as described in the details, it was the only suitable cottage available at the time I wanted to come over. Being a cottage for families, having three bedrooms, I would suggest they get a washer/dryer combined, as it was very inconvenient having to go to the Whiterose laundry on Brougham street to dry clothes. It would have been helpful if there had been better information about rubbish collection. When we got there both the blue and green bins were full to overflowing and obviously had not been emptied for a while. Although there were instructions about which of the two bins would be collected in which week, they were not clear as it said leave the bin at the end of the yard by the wall. Did they mean the end of Hallam's yard or the end of the bit of yard that belonged to number 21? And which wall were they meant to be left by? It was obvious other renters didn't know either. On the day the binmen were meant to come we left the bin where it was - the same place where all the other bins for the cottages were kept - it was the wrong place - because it wasn't collected. It was important to us to have a parking space as we had a rental car - if I was the owner I would put a sign on the wall stating which space was for number 21.

Fantastic location, cooker small.

Car parking easy. Very clean.

Wonderful location just 2 mins into Skipton high street with lots of eating places and lovely pubs.

Skipton has plenty to offer.

INFORM Y OUR PATRONS NOT TO USE THE STEPS AT NO.

17 WE FELL FOUL OF THE LADY WHO LIVES THERE. NOT KNOWING THE STEPS WERE PRIVATE. REGARDS.M.L.HEWSON

Lovely cosy property, situated just off the high street, with the benefit of parking.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hallam's Yard and Skipton.

It's a central location to explore the area. We were travelling from out of country and were fortunate to have relatives in the area that were able to show us so much including Blackpool, Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and so many local attractions.

The closeness to the town and its facilities,ease of parking, canal trips and walks, nice drives to local beauty spots.
