Absolutely a beautiful cottage, very homely and tastefully decorated/furnished can't falt it at all, had everything you needed a very welcoming place to go everyone was friendly and most places are dog friendly which was good we had a great week would definitely go back 😊
Very well maintained and equipped cottage in quiet cul-de-sac with easy access to town amenities. The owners have given a lot of thought to their visitors comfort. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great location, easy walk down to Skipton and the canal.
Great location, easy walk down to Skipton and the canal. Property is what you expect for the price. And got a very polite email and lovely message from the owners. Parking is terrible however only flaw. And the neighbours across the road are very loud. Crashing into bins and moaning all the time about the parking which dampens the property. Nice little property
