Ginnel Mews is a lovely stone semi tucked away just off the high street which is a perfect location - quiet yet accessible to shops, cafes, bars and restaurants.The 2 double bedrooms are downstairs which was great as they were nice and cool during one of the hottest weeks of the year. The cottage had everything you would need for self catering and some thoughtful extras too such as tea, coffee and sugar, washing tabs and dishwasher tabs too.The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped with outside seating at the back to enjoy the evening sun with comfortable cushions found in the outside storage box and a table, chairs and bench to the front overlooking a children’s play area and woodland.Will definitely be back.

Modern, very clean and comfortable on the inside and a local stone cottage on the outside. Our eleventh visit to the Dales and wider Yorkshire. Nice to be in Skipton for once with all the amenities on the doorstep. Convenient for train and bus stations.Lots to do in the area and having tourist office nearby was useful.A great holiday, thank you.Out of owners control - first weekend was Skipton Carnival and there was some noise at night from a bar or party nearby.

Lovely cottage - well located for exploring Skipton itself (Castle, canal and more) and further afield by train e.g. Settle to Carlisle line and Lancaster. Would love to return. We arrived by train but allocated parking space was rather small.
