Stunning location. Absolutely beautiful property. Gerri and Richard who own the property are lovely too. Got some great tips off places to visit. The cottage itself is stunning. It has everything you need for the perfect stay. We used it as a base to discover more of Yorkshire. It served us well as there are plenty of places to explore. Knowing we had such a lovely location to come back too made our stay even better. We've already booked again for next year, so we can come back and explore some more. Thanks for a lovely week away.

Beautiful property in an excellent location for exploring Skipton and the Yorkshire Dales. The few times we saw the owner, Geri, she was very nice and recommended some lovely places to visit in the area. The property benefits from being a 25 min walk into town and only 5 min from a large farm shop. Everything was clean, tidy and the hot tub was bliss after a long walk exploring the many local sights. Highly recommended

Our 2nd visit to the cottage, most enjoyable, helped by the weather. Lovely walk into Skipton (once over the roundabout) and great that the Farm shop has reopened. Central location for exploring this area. Would definitely recommend.
