What our customers say about their holidays

  I didn't realise the whole apartment was basement level, but that's my fault for misreading the listing.

  The two windows at either end of the kitchen/dining room/lounge, looked out onto brick walls. The floor felt gritty underfoot and there were cobwebs in the bathroom and bedroom. We had an issue with the car parking scratch card as we assumed it was for the week and it turned out only to be a 2 day parking card and we got a parking ticket. When we contacted the owner of the property, she said we should've had scratch cards to cover us for the whole week and she'd get the cleaner to drop one off for us the next day. In the meantime we had to pay for a day's parking out of our own pocket. Owner said she'd reimburse us for parking fine and the extra parking charge we had to pay and she has only just done this 3 weeks after we returned home. On the plus side, the bed was extremely comfortable and the apartment was nicely furnished. Always a bonus to have a dishwasher and washing machine too. Personally, I felt very claustrophobic being in a basement apartment with only 1 set of stairs as an exit.

  Agreeing with all that has been said before the location and facilities of this Craven Cottage has been first class. I cant believe its only 3 stars we are certainly going to book again. We had a great week using a North West rover on the railway and also sampling various bus routes. The Saturday bus to Harrogate and the Sunday bus from Grassington to Hawes were particularly scenic and interesting. We mostly catered for ourselves but would recommend Bizzy Lizzies for fish and chips. Skipton has many bakers shops that you are spoilt for choice but pastries from Thomas's were very good. As for doing your washing try the Express Laundromat on Sackville Street a seven minute walk away and the staff were very helpful , they give change for the machines and you can buy soap there. WE hope you will enjoy your stay in this delightful cottage as we did

  This property is ideal in its central location, cleanliness and mostly satisfactory equipment and 2 parking spaces. The bedrooms and bathrooms are great. The downstairs is tight, the kitchen/dining/ living area is confined, you have to move the couch to use the dining chairs, move a dining chair to access the dishwasher and there isn’t really much space to bring in a child’s buggy without blocking the narrow hall. There is lots to recommend in this house but l feel the unconventional check out time and instructions re stripping beds etc is a disadvantage especially since there weren’t any cleaners waiting to enter at 9.30. I would recommend for adults with teenagers rather than younger children. There wasn’t an enclosed yard for the dog which l assumed there would be but there’s plenty of places to walk a dog.

  We would highly recommend the property. The location is great for people with or without a car. Skipton is a town with lots to see close by or as we did drive further afield to visit other places. We visited York, Harrogate, Ullswater, Hawes, Ingleton, Bolton Abbey, Hebden Bridge, Ripon, Malham, Aysgarth Falls, Ilkley Moor and many other places. We also love having so much in Skipton on the doorstep so if you don’t drive it is a lovely town to walk around with interesting shops etc. The cottage is right in the heart of the town which is great when you want to pop out for a quick look at the market etc before going out for the day. The cottage is also very well looked after, very clean and has good facilities. We have stayed twice now and will hopefully return soon.

  Although the basement apartment is compact it had everything we needed.

  Unfortunately, there was a family of approximately 5 adults and 4 children staying in the house above the apartment so it was very noisy esp. with footsteps as the house has wooden floors. The cleanliness seemed okay initially but on further inspection the skirting boards and around the back of the toilet were not clean and requires a thorough deep clean. There is no allocated parking however, parking permits were provided and we managed to park close by. The garden was a little overgrown and the furniture cushions are left out so they get wet. We had a great time in Whitby walking the coastal paths and were out most days. Sadly, I wouldn't stay here again owing to the house situated above.
