About this property

Tucked away close to the town centre of Skipton with views over the canal, rests this charming little abode, Dray Cottage.

Boasting character throughout, this semi-detached home welcomes couples and small families looking to break away from normal life and explore this scenic Yorkshire Dales.

After a day of rambling in the Dales, relax in the comfortable sitting room beside the electricstove and sink into the sofa while you browse the Smart TV for a good film.

In the kitchen, you will find modern appliances including a dishwasher, an electric oven and gas hob, fridge-freezer along with all the utensils and crockery needed to whip up a tasty feast. As you tire, head upstairs and be greeted by two delightful bedrooms; the master includes a plush super-king-size bed (which can be split into two single beds), whilst the second bedroom is home to a single bed (with 2ft 6 pull-out bed). All the bed linen is 100% Egyptian cotton to aide a comfortable nights sleep. There is also a refreshing bathroom with a bath and overhead shower so you can decide how to best prepare for the day. To the exterior of Dray Cottage is a small patio area with table and chairs, ideal for your morning coffee or a cold beverage on a sunny afternoon. Parking is found in a nearby car park, situated 60 yards from the cottage with the cost of the weekly pass being paid for by the owner. Regarded as ‘The Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales’, it’s no surprise that Skipton has become a popular spot amongst holidaymakers. Enjoying a wide sweeping high street, this historic town offers something for everyone; history buffs can explore the iconic Norman castle, whilst those looking to get their fix of shopping will enjoy browsing the independent businesses lining the high street, and there are also plenty of pubs and restaurants to take your pick from. Avid walkers will be in awe of the surrounding area; enjoy scenic walks along the canal, delve into the open countryside with walks around Sharp Haw, Flasby Fell or simply enjoy a stroll in Skipton Woods, located at the back of the castle. With easy accessibility to the Yorkshire Dales and all it has to offer this is the perfect location for a break away. Other nearby attractions include the Embasy & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway, or the Settle to Carlisle railway for a historic day out alongside stunning landscapes or see sparkling water features at Janet’s Foss waterfall and natural pool. Whatever time of year, enjoy a memorable escape to the Yorkshire Dales at Dray Cottage.

Enjoying a convenient location on the outskirts of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Skipton is a bustling town boasting beautiful canals and a wealth of amenities, including cafés, pubs and shops. Surrounded by the glorious open countryside, there's so much adventure right on your doorstep. Within the surrounding area are the towns of Keighley and Harrogate, both well worth a visit, whilst Pateley Bridge and Aysgarth provide plenty of opportunities to explore the Yorkshire Dales and Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

    We love the position, it's quiet and convenient, very comfortable and well equipped. The small outside space can be a little sun trap, and a safe area for four legged friends. Skipton is a fabulous town with independent and national shops. Walks on the door step and even more in the surrounding areas. One observation, the cottage, although spotlessly clean, does seem to be getting a little rough round the edges, a lick of paint here and there, wouldn't put us off going again though. Would definitely recommend.

    It was very cold. The light in the bathroom mirror didn’t work so we only had the ceiling lights which were behind us. We left a day early due to the discomfort.

    Lots of information for walks and local amenities are there for anyone that’s not been to the area before. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and my little ones were also very content. A box of toys and books were also there, which was a pleasant and unexpected gesture. Communication from owner before our trip was great as well and resulted in a travel cot and high chair being provided which was amazing help. Thankyou for our wonderful stay.
