  • "We were charged because of stains on the carpets that could not have been us."

    We took our shoes off at the door every time we entered the property because we are respectful. They obviously felt like the carpet needed cleaned and picked a a group to charge, we were the unlucky ones. Lesson learned, we will be taking photos of every slight imperfection in every property we enter.

    Good afternoon Thanks for your response if you look at all previous guest comments they all say how spotless the apartment is . We are fastidious in our cleaning regime and have never charged for carpet cleaning before. There were stains on the carpet that were not there prior to your visit hence why we have charged to have the carpet cleaned. Property Owner

  • "Woodlands is an excellent property in a brilliant location with easy access to all of the main sites and attractions around Skipton."

    The flat is very well equipped and shared access to the grounds and playing equipment was a huge bonus. What really makes this property though, is it’s owners and family. Many other reviews refer to how attentive and helpful John and Jennifer are. It is clear their altruism and kindness runs deep in the family, as we had Uncle Chris looking after us who could could not have been a more attentive host. 10/10 and will be booking again!

The property

Nestled on the outskirts of the charming village of Cononley and enveloped by the stunning landscape of the Craven district of North Yorkshire is this immaculate apartment, set above the owner’s garage.

With its countryside position and comfortable interior design, this apartment offers an exceptional self-catering experience, a superb find for romantics, small families, avid ramblers and those alike.

Climb the exterior steps before pushing open the front door to reveal the open-plan living room, where you can look forward to unwinding after a long-walk upon the moorland and to enjoy the company of your loved ones, with the woodburning stove setting the ambiance and gently filling the room with warmth.

The compact, yet well-equipped kitchen comes with everything you could possibly need to cater family favourite recipes, and the accompanying breakfast bar is great for dining, lingering over a drink, playing board games brought from home and mapping out the next day’s adventure.

Completing the living space is the sitting area, where a leather sofa and armchair invite you in to relax in front of the Smart TV, complete with Netflix and Amazon Prime so you can catch up on the latest box set, with the fire crackling in the background.

The master bedroom boasts a sumptuous king-size bed and the second bedrooms comes with a twin set up, both featuring Velux windows to allow natural light to filter into the space each morning and are served by a sleek family bathroom, containing a spacious walk-in shower, basin and WC.

To the exterior, there are two off-road parking spaces and a large lawn garden with a large trampoline, where children and your canine companion can play beneath the sunshine, whilst you savour the countryside views, which surround.

A leisurely 10 minute walk takes you into the centre of the village of Cononley and train station, where its interesting 17th century heritage is still visible in some of the buildings, as well as reminders of its heyday as a 19th century centre for hand loom weaving and lead mining, and is home to a choice of two pubs and a village shop.

The village also has a train station, where you can easily access to the nearby town of Skipton, where you can stroll along the canals that line the town before visiting the 12th century Skipton Castle and the Craven Museum and Gallery.

The city of Leeds is also accessible from the village, whilst the endearing village of Haworth is a scenic drive away, where you can visit the Brontë Parsonage Museum to uncover the history of the famous sister who once lived here, with collections of personal items, letters and manuscripts before lacing up your walking shoes to roam the Penistone Hill Country Park and discover the scenic Brontë Bridge and Brontë Waterfall.

Venture to the national park to find even more outdoor adventure or hop on board the famous Settle to Carlisle Railway line to soak up the views at your leisure, whilst the attractions of The Strid Ancient Woodland and the Stepping Stones at Bolton Abbey are sure to delight a family of all ages.

Secure your stay at Woodlands to enjoy an action-packed getaway.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
