About this property
Tucked away in a peaceful residential area of the small picturesque town of Silsden is the delightful mid-terrace holiday home, Sunnymede. The property was fully refurbished for 2022 and is conveniently positioned on the fringes of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, offering an excellent base for outdoor activities and relaxing alike. Step over the threshold into the handy panelled hallway before moving through into the cosy sitting room to put your feet up. A well designed kitchen/diner adjoins this space, beautifully appointed with a pastel green and cream interior and equipped with all of the essential amenities to help you feel at home and rustle up a range of delicious meals. Moving through the property to the first floor, you’ll find two well-presented, good sized bedrooms, kings or twins, with a stylish shower room across the way, providing the perfect sleeping quarters for both friends and families sharing. A short walk from your doorstep will bring you into the heart of Silsden where you’ll find all the local amenities; fuel a day of excursions with a hearty breakfast at one of the many independent cafes, or end an action packed day with a well deserved beverage at the hostilary of your choice. Be sure to pack your clubs and spend a peaceful afternoon testing your swing on one of several golf courses in the area or at the handy local driving range, or follow the footpath alongside the glistening waters of the Leeds and Liverpool canal to the nearby market town of Skipton or in the opposite direction through Bingley Five-Rise Locks and onto the UNESCO world heritage site of Saltaire. If walking seems a bit too energetic there’s always the option to charter a barge. If history is your thing then Skipton castle, Bolton Abbey or the 17th Century National Trust property of East Riddlesden Hall are all just a stone’s throw away. The more energetic walkers might like to take on the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge or would you prefer to cycle the Yorkshire stage of the 2014 Tour de France? The Pennine way is also on the doorstep - the options for outdoor activities are endless. For those looking for a more relaxing visit be sure to take a trip to the nearby spa towns of Ilkley and Harrogate with their cafes, gardens and shops, or hop on the direct train to Leeds for a spot of city life. A trip on the Worth Valley steam railway will take you up to the famous cobbles and historical Brontë Country of Haworth, a lovely way to spend a day. However you plan to spend your time in Yorkshire, be sure to choose Sunnymede as your base.
Settled on the fridges of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and boasting views of the glistening waters of the River Aire and its valley is the delightful town of Silsden. Brimming with local amenities and attractions, including pubs, restaurants, shops, a park and a riding school, visitors need not look any further than Silsden for a staycation. Skipton, Addingham and the rural countryside of the Yorkshire Dales are all within easy reach.

It is tastefully decorated, well equipped and ideally positioned for visiting this part of North Yorkshire. The visitors book indicates that guests have stayed here on multiple occasions and I can see why - I'd certainly choose this property again. The owner went the extra mile to ensure that everything was in order and also provided a welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk and biscuits.

The neighbours dog runs freely in the garden and my mum is scared of dogs so this meant we couldn't sit in the garden. Also the garden furniture was wrapped up and when I open it it was filthy so I had to wash it. I feel this should be done before you arrive.
