  Hello, We returned yesterday from our stay at lock view and the four of us had such a gorgeous stay!

  The facilities are amazing and the location is great, on the canal! Do not let the housing estate you arrive through put you off. Amazing to have a coffee machine, dishwasher, tumble dryer etc - these were extras I didnt see advertised which made the stay extra comfortable. We loved the sauna and hot tub! Our friends who slept downstairs did mention the curtains let in quite a lot of light in the morning but we didn't have this issue upstairs. We visited Malham cove and that area, where we walked the loop of 5.1 miles which was beautiful. Be careful of the stairs though, I would recommend going the loop from Janet foss to malham cove rather than the other way around so you are gong down steps rather than up them, you'll also have to be very mobile, saying that i'm 8.5 months pregnant and managed. Keelham farm shop ( 5 min drive away) is so worth a visit, for a farm shop its very reasonable. Also Skipton woods was awesome. We met Kyle and his dad, they were both lovely and friendly. Not cheap, but we felt well worth the money, Thanks again Victoria

  What a fabulous house in a lovely location - the views and access to wonderful places.

  We loved the location of the house, the style of the house, the standard of design and facilities such as hot tub/sauna and kitchen, were all great. The hosts were very friendly and communications were top drawer. But, we must admit that the beds were really uncomfortable. Set up as a double didn't work as the individual beds had sunk so badly, and the springs were ever-present - even as a single. The connecting zip became a barrier to be together and very uncomfortable. Also, in all the airBnBs we've stayed in, the leaving requirements were by far the most comprehensive. Strip beds and put in a sack, empty bins, empty dishwasher and put everything away, clean down. All before 10AM departure. I was left wondering what the 'cleaning service' actually did. The wine and chocolates were really appreciated, but no spare toilet rolls, no shower/bath products for the beautiful baths and showers was a shame.

  Having read the reviews, some of which had some crital comments, we went with an open mind.

  ..well, we found 99% of these to be unfair... the cottage was lovely to look at, very clean inside and out, a very adequate fitted kitchen, a lovely large bathroom with a large shower cubicle ( although not a power shower) it still works very well. The lounge was large enough for us two & our dog. Then upstairs has a dressing room & a lovely large bedroom with an extremely comfy bed. The enclosed garden to the rear was perfect for us. Along with a parking area. Comments made regarding no where to walk your dog... rubbish, we found atleast four walks that were perfectly safe.. one of which was around 30 mins circular woodland walk... they are there if you look. We had a fantastic week's stay and was sad to have to go home..the cottage was perfect ... in an ideal location for us, at a great price. Will we be going back? Absolutely ! Thank you.

  We had glorious weather and peaceful south facing garden a plus.

  On the downside the property was on a busy road and traffic woke you up early in the morning and with bends in the road you can only safely turn left out of the property. The kitchen was well equipped. The shower was very low pressure and only an empty had wash dispenser was left just as well we brought a travel bar of soap. The internet was very poor at a downoad speed of 5 mpbs and upload of 1. Close to wonderful Fountains Abbey (best visited on two separate visits) one for Studley royal and other for Abbey and water gardens and Brimham rocks sadly no walks direct from cottage as no pavements. Harrogate always best to avoid with horrendous traffic.

  A great place to stay, we had only been there 20 mins.

  and we were straight in the hot tub. We didn't mind it having to be switched off at 20:00 as we were like wrinkled prunes by 18:30 and had to cook dinner. There was every utensil needed to make dinner and we were soon relaxed for the night. The following day we took a slow amble into Skipton (5 miles away), down the canal bank. Where we sampled a few beers, before returning for more fun and games. Overall a great few days with lovely surroundings and great friends. We will be back, maybe to one of the other larger cottages currently in build. Thanks Kyle, you should be proud of your hard work in developing this lovely place.
