    Everything you need for a stay in the Yorkshire dales. Ideally situated a short walk from the excellent town centre of Skipton. Would benefit from another sofa rather than the small chair in the lounge and maybe another TV in the dining room. Loads of space for your clothes and belongings, excellent bathroom and spacious double bedrooms.

    The property was spotless and the beds extremely comfortable. It was a great location for our stay as we travelled to Skipton by train and used public transport throughout, it being only a short 5 minute walk to town and the bus station through "The Ginnel". Lovely walk around Skipton woods on a very hot day, and thank you for the welcome pack you left for us on arrival.

    The house is a five minute walk from the centre of Skipton and all the great bars, pubs and eateries. The house itself is on a quiet street . We leave the car parked in front of the house and use the bus and trains all week. The house itself has everything you need with three good sized bedrooms and a lovely bathroom. There is plenty of storage space to store away all your clothes and shoes. Maybe an extra small sofa would be better than the small chair and an extra tv in the middle room would be ideal. We hope to be back in the summer.

We would have liked a sofa or a couple of chairs to sit in the dining room when the rest of the family is hogging the tv in the living room. Maybe a second tv in the dining room also.

But that is easy to tweak and we used the vacuum cleaner. Thanks again for the enjoyable stay.

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. The town also marks the staring point for Tour de Yorkshire, a major international cycle race held every year. Golf, swimming, squash, tennis and snooker are all available locally and the excellent public transport means the car can be left at home!
