Take a break to the Yorkshire Dales at this dog-friendly cottage which is bursting with charm and ideally suited to couples. From the exposed beams and bricks to the thoughtful decor, this property has a cosy home-from-home feel from the moment you step through the door. Located in the town of Skipton, there is plenty to see and do right on your doorsteps, including blissful boat trips along the canal for a romantic afternoon out.

Greeting you upon arrival is the living room with a large leather sofa and an armchair where you can sprawl out and relax. Retaining many of its original features, the room is full of character and country style. Adjoining the room is the traditionally styled kitchen with a dining table for morning coffees and evening meals. Between the two areas is the wooden staircase leading up to the two tastefully styled bedrooms which enjoy neutral decor. Bedroom one features a comfortable double bed, alongside a TV where you can retreat to at the end of each day to recuperate, whilst the second room has a single bed, ideal for a child. Completing the floor is the family shower room.

Whilst Skipton itself has plenty to entertain, from historic tours of the castle to an array of excellent leisure facilities, adventure awaits in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, just a mile away from the town. Pack a picnic and head off to explore Malham Cove (22 miles), an unusual geological formation with an awe-inspiring waterfall. Or spend a day in the spa town of Harrogate exploring the wonderful array of eateries, architecture and historic hotspots.

Great location. Key to the cottage needs looking at as we spent many a day trying to get into the cottage as the key took 5 or 6 times to open

The cottage is central to Skipton and all amenities and an ideal base to explore the surrounding area. The cottage was well maintained, clean and tidy and the car parking space is a bonus. Overall a great property and value for money.

A really lovely homely and cosy cottage. Everything you need to have a good holiday. Great central location very near to the shops and canal. I didn't have a car and managed for two weeks. The public transport is excellent. There is a private car parking space if needed which is a bonus. The central heating was great. Lovely market town to visit.

We had a lovely stay in this cosy and well equipped cottage and the parking bay is also a bonus! The cottage is in a great location in Skipton close to shops and pubs and we also found great dog walks nearby beside the canal. Would highly recommend staying here and we look forward to staying again.

We have stayed here before and will probably do so again. It is one minutes walk from the main street but it is so peaceful and quiet we had some really good nights sleep. The location is amazing, almost anywhere in town is only a ten/fifteen minutes walk. The parking space too is invaluable. We love Skipton it has wonderful shops and decent marketRead more, lots of coffee shops, pubs and restaurants all within a stones throw from the cottage. Hide

Lots of lovely walks which were full of autumn colours when we visited in October. Woods and canals great for a wander. Lovely scenic train journey to Appleby and Ribblehead (Viaduct).
