Great location but basic with potential to be lovely

Great location and easy to find. Good size property for a short stay, especially master bedroom.

Images are much more vivid than reality. As others have said the property has huge potential if the carpets were replaced, the wallpaper lining was not hanging off in places, the missing part of the twin bed was replaced, the bed sheet in the master bedroom fitted properly so it didn’t keep coming off during the night, and mould wasn’t appearing around windows/shower unit. Felt more like a student house! We contacted the property during our stay as we couldn’t find the listed hairdryer and got a response 4 hours later. Still no sign of a hairdryer when we left! This house is managed by a property management company which was a very different experience to other properties we have stayed at in Skipton. Less personal - no property guide, information on things to do in the area/places to eat etc. It was also much more expensive than the other places we have stayed at before.

Passable but wouldn’t stay again

Good location with free parking outside. Spacious and it’s handy having more space when travelling with a friend. Beds were clean and comfy.

The place could do with being refreshed/redecorated. It’s very basic and lots of things in the house are damaged/broken or need replaced due to wear and tear. For example there was a bit of wood hanging off the end of one of the single beds, the mastic seal around the shower is mouldy, the blind in the bathroom was broken, and the carpet is very grubby and worn and has a funky smell. There were also lots of dead blue bottles and a dead wasp around the window on the stairs, plus a couple of live flies, when I first went in the property. I had to clean these all up. The carpet clearly needed a good hoover generally. It was pretty clear that no one had checked the property ahead of my checking in.

The house was as expected and did what it said. Great spot at a good price.

Great location at a good price.

We received an e-mail requesting we consider our usage of the utilities, which is perfectly understandable with the current conditions, however there are issues within the property that need to be addressed to support this. The door from the seating area to upstairs did not close or have a handle, rectifying this would have an immediate impact on the usage of utilities.

Skipton cottage

Nice and cosy place. Very clean. It is on the quite street, so you can have good night sleep, and yet only 10 minutes walk from town centre, full of shops, restaurants and lovely canals.

Good value property for a short stay.

Parking is on the narrow street but the location is very good, just a short 10 minute walk to town centre. Reasonably well equipped terraced house and a fairly quiet location. Bathroom and shower were adequate.

Main bedroom bed was a little too soft, but for 2 nights was acceptable. Only one toilet in bathroom, so for 4 people a bit limiting, but it was ok for 2 nights.

Reasonably priced, clean and comfortable for a short stay. Good base for visiting the Dales

10 minute walk to the Town Centre. Small enclosed courtyard at the rear of the property could be useful if comfortable furniture were provided. On Street parking was difficult as there were very few available spaces so we tended to venture out into the Dales during the day and get the car back before 5pm to ensure a space. Easy walk to local supermarket. There are some damp problems in the property, notably black mould to the bathroom ceiling above the window and damp inside cupboards in the ground floor living room, damp damage to ground floor skirting boards. Beds were too soft for our preference but otherwise clean, great if you prefer a soft cosy bed. Carpets showing signs of wear and tear and particularly the stairs which could do with either a shampoo or replacement. We did not use the kitchen facilities but it all appeared clean and fully equipped. Bathroom seems to have been recently refitted with deep bath and good size walk in shower. Overall a clean and comfortable base for exploring the Dales, but some updating would enhance the property further. Reasonable value for Skipton.

Carpets could do with a shampoo or replacement. Some seating for the outside courtyard would be welcome. Attention to damp in bathroom and ground floor.

A sweet and good value for money holiday home, close to central Skipton.

lovely family holiday home and very inviting, with a homely feel.

there were quite a few unfinished little jobs. the side of bath wasn’t finished properly and was half stuck out. there was paint flaking in a few area. The cold tap wasn’t working on the bath. It also said there was a washing machine at the house but when we arrived there wasn’t.

Of the 8 places we booked to stay in, this is the only one that fell well short of expectations for

Advertised with facilities including washing machine and clothes dryer which didn't exist. Attempted twice to contact owner's agent without success.

Lovely Weekend Break

Excellent location for the town and its amenities. Lovely quiet street and pleasant courtyard. Big white fluffy bath towels. Great WiFi. Could have done with instructions on re-cycling/rubbish as we weren't sure where to put everything. Ended up leaving it in the kitchen but felt really bad doing this...sorry.

These aren't really 'not likes' but maybe helpful for others: *Parking was a bit difficult when we arrived so had to park round the corner on a different street. Managed to park outside the cottage the next day. Not a great problem for us but others might not be happy parking elsewhere. *We couldn't get the oven to work but it wasn't a problem for us as we took food to cook on the hob. *Steep stairs - not a problem for us but could be for others.

overall enjoyable, pleasant location and facilities were good will come again to the visit the Yorkshire Dales

Property was very cosy, comfortable and convenient for shopping also near the town centre. we really enjoyed our stay.

Just for your information: Oven is not working, we prepared our Xmas dinner but didn’t have it that was disappointing. In the main bedroom mattress has a few springs popping out which made a painful sleep and the door handle is extremely noisy meaning the baby would wake up every time we opened the door and shower gel compartment was empty.

Great location for Dales, decent but small-ish cottage with easy access to town

Great location - excellent for visiting Dales (Malham Cove etc) and we also took a train from Harrogate to visit York for one day, generally everything what you'd expect, easy access to town, great selection of antique books on the shelves, clean bedding, on street parking, cute little backyard, wifi, nice cottage in general

a bit smaller than appeared on photos, a little expensive for what it is (presuming the company maintaining it is taking a good chunk!) oven didn't work for us and it needs a little TLC, booked for 5 but only 4 mugs/bowls etc, and extra bed was a fold out - but might have missed it in description. It really could be a much nicer property, great potential here! also needs more comfy seating for the evenings as sofas way too small for 5 people, but we were mostly outdoors. Loved Dales.
