"An amazing property."
Spacious and stylish with a stunning private garden. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and a fab hot tub to relax at the end of the day.
We would highly recommend this property. Lovely way to chill in a large group.

"Our stay at 2 The Croft was magical."
Set a few minutes from Skipton in the little hamlet of Stirton it's a quiet & peaceful location with a tranquil and private garden. It feels rural but you're only a few minutes from the main town and major travel routes.
The house was great with plenty of bedrooms for our family of 8 including my elderly mum, 3 of our sons, our daughter & her husband. Our youngest son is non verbal autistic and the house worked well for him, especially the hot tub!
There was a few welcome treats on our arrival including tea, coffee & milk (and amazing parkin biscuits) which meant we could chill with a cup of tea after our journey before our larger pre-ordered grocery delivery arrived.
The large kitchen table was perfect and there was plenty of kitchen equipment to make meals & serve 8 of us. At home we don't have room for a dishwasher so that was a real blessing & tablets were provided for it! If I could add a couple of suggestions a large colander to drain pasta, a large water jug for the table & a serving tray would be useful. We had visitors on one day & had to carry drinks, tea/coffee pots etc outside two at a time so a tray would be useful but this is a minor point.
The main living area had plenty of space for us to relax and chill out as a family and there is an added large "snug" so everyone can spread out.
Downstairs there are 3 bedrooms. A large king with an ensuite bathroom and two smaller singles. Upstairs there are 3 large double rooms, 2 with ensuites & a separate shower room. The beds, mattresses and bedding were all top quality and incredibly comfortable. The best part of the upstairs rear bedrooms and the shower room was the views. Stunning views out across the fields and at night we stood in the shower room with the window wide open star gazing! It was breathtaking.
The garden is secluded and tranquil. I sat in the early morning, before anyone else was up, enjoying a coffee and listening to the local birds sing. If you want to know what birds you can hear I recommend the free Merlin app. The garden furniture was comfortable and ample for us all. The hidden summer house at the bottom of the garden was an oasis of calm. The perfect place to have a coffee and read a book in total peace. A small stool or table in here would be a good addition for somewhere to put your coffee cup but the sofa was comfortable & there's a heater if it's a chilly day.
The hot tub was, of course, a big hit! Even my son who wouldn't take swim shorts cause he said "hot tubs aren't my thing" ended up borrowing his brother's shorts and he's now a convert! Someone came to check the water on day 3 but I think perhaps it needs more regular checks for water/chemical levels. A handy net to scoop out falling leaves and bugs would also be useful.
The area itself is so pretty. Skipton on market day was bustling and we enjoyed a canal trip and some amazing ice cream! I took my mum to Settle on market day (Tuesday) to reminisce as she used to visit a dear friend there who has now passed away. This was the main reason for booking a home in this area. It was an emotional day out but my mum was so thankful to visit places she had enjoyed with her friend Violet.
We took a trip out to Grassington. A lovely village famous now for the filming of All Creatures Great & Small. Many more independent shops there than we expected. A lovely little folk museum, incredible bakery and tea room. We parked at the visitor center and got lots of information about the area from the lovely, helpful staff. After that we went to Coldstone cuts. A small parking area and a walk up a small hill leads you to a spectacular viewpoint across the Dales. Kids will love it.
So much more I could recommend in the area. Billy Bob's ice cream parlor is not to be missed! Efendy for fabulous Turkish food and Bizzie Lizzie's for traditional fish & chips. Robertshaws farm shop is a short drive or walk from the property and has a wide range of fresh produce, meat and bakery items as well as a lovely cafe & gifts selection.
We had the best week at 2 The Croft and it was a wrench to say goodbye! We would love to visit again but as my mum's had some health issues over the past few months and her mobility has become more restricted we've realized we need a ground floor double bedroom with a lower bed and a walk in shower rather than a shower over a bath. At the time of booking her mobility was much better and this is just unfortunate personal circumstances because the property is incredible and one of the most wonderful places we've ever stayed.
Thank you Holly & the Restful roots team for making our stay memorable!

"We had a wonderful stay and the house was just as we expected - in fact, it was even lovelier than we hoped!"
Holly was very helpful and called me to let me know that the patio was rather icy just before we arrived and when we couldn't find a cork screw, she organised for one to be dropped off, which was very much appreciated.
The kitchen has just about everything in it that you need to cook a meal, with lots of crockery and glasses etc, including plastic cups for the hot tub.
The house was spotless with very comfortable beds and luxurious bed linen. We would definitely be more than happy to come back again.

"Plenty of space for the 6 adults in our party."
Property well maintained & very clean. Found it a little strange that the large TV was in the small snug & a quite small one in the main seating area. Having stayed numerous times in different rented properties over the years this was the first one with no Welcome pack. Would definitely recommend this property to friends & family, lovely quiet location only 1.5 miles (5 mins) by car into Skipton.

There was no essentials (hand soap, cooking oil..) which has been mentioned on previous comments but not amended. There were no bin bags either but they solved this as soon as we notified it so they are attentive and responding to feed back.
Totally recommended!

"8 of us stayed in this property from 13th - 20th July this year and cannot find the words to describe what an amazing time we had."
The garden and summer house are so tranquil and relaxing with a view of the beautiful countryside - my partner actually proposed with this being the back ground on our first day.
The house is huge, all facilities were of a high standard, the beds were so comfy I could have stayed there all week.
It's only a 40 minute walk or 5 minute drive into town.
We had a call to prewarn us that the hot tub maintance man and the window cleaner were coming, so we were kept up to date the entire trip.
Thank you for an unforgettable adventure

"This cottage is lovely and comfortable as described."
There was an issue with the water quality caused by domestic water being supplied from natural source which was quite discoloured at times after rain storms. We bought bottled water for drinking.
We were surprised to find a lack of what could be regarded as kitchen essentials ie foil, cling film, cooking oil etc.
there was not enough dishwasher tabs, bin liners etc supplied and no information at all about recycling.
The toilet at the top of the stairs often runs with water after flushing and needs attention.
Although there are lovely wine glasses, it could really do with beer glasses and small spirit glasses too.
Thank you very much for your feedback, all feedback is greatly appreciated, we will take on board your comments and add some details to the hand book about the recycling in our area. We will also get the toilet looked at. Many thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback.

It was very spacious, warm, comfortable and well equipped although we could have done with more crockery to make dishwasher use more efficient. We slowly learned how to use all the electronics (heating, lighting, TV) but more instructions would have been useful.
