About this property
A stone-built terraced cottage, in a quiet courtyard setting less than a minute's walk from Skipton's historic High Street. The cottage is full of character and charm throughout and provides a perfect romantic holiday retreat in this ever popular market town, known as the Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The ground floor is an open-plan design with a cosy sitting area, a dining area and a bespoke fitted kitchen with a breakfast bar and access to the front yard with a sitting area. The main bathroom provides a real wow factor with a claw footed bath as the centre piece of the room. The adjoining spacious bedroom boasts a super king-size bed and pretty furnishings to complete the appeal of this lovely holiday home. To the outside is a front patio with a sitting area, which is an ideal place to relax after a busy day exploring the area. Skipton provides a real treat with a medieval castle, canal boat trips, swimming pool, golf course, excellent cycling routes, tennis courts and a myriad of walks including easy rambles and challenging fell walks within close proximity of the town. The award-winning High Street is a very short walk and boasts a wide selection of restaurants, tea rooms and coffee shops, award-winning fish and chip shops, whilst the traditional market sells fresh produce throughout the year including local cheeses, fish, meats and fresh vegetables. Enjoy moorland walks at Bolton Abbey, the mouth-watering farmers' market at Grassington or visit elegant Harrogate, all of which are within easy reach. Daisy's Holiday Cottage is an ideal retreat whatever the time of year you visit.
Skipton is well placed for visiting all that the Dales has to offer, whilst York, the Lake District and the West Coast are also within easy motoring distance. This town has much to interest the enthusiastic visitor, boasting an ancient castle open to the public, and a colourful market occupying the cobbled streets each side of the high street. In 2008 the Academy of Urbanism voted the High Street the best shopping spot in Britain.

Shower facilities in the lovely looking large bath are problematic for older folk like us but fine for our sort stay. On balance great stay and would recommend Daisy's Cottage. Cheers.

Property very comfortable, as were the beds, not a great fan of shower curtains in a bath with only a hand held shower head, but was manageable. Would have been useful to have a socket for a hairdryer beside a mirror, but again not a deal breaker. Look forward to returning to explore the area more.

The only problem I had was getting into and out the bath. I did see it before I booked the cottage but did not realises how deep it was and being only 5ft it was a bit awkward. That is my personal view but other than that it was perfect.
