Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviewers consistently mention the spotless and well-maintained state of the cottage, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that contributes to the overall positive experience.

The property's location is frequently highlighted as ideal, being quiet yet within a short walk to Skipton town centre and convenient for exploring the Yorkshire Dales, which guests find very appealing.

Comfort is a strong point for Acorn Cottage, with guests noting the comfortable beds, clean linen, and cosy atmosphere. The presence of two bathrooms and comfortable sofas also contribute to the positive feedback.

The cottage is commended for its excellent facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and en-suite bathrooms. However, a few minor issues such as the absence of a downstairs toilet and the position of the microwave slightly affect the score.

Guests are delighted by the thoughtful touches like welcome packs for both humans and dogs, although it's important to note that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

    Beautifully clean with everything you could need. Very nice welcome pack to get you settled in. Highly recommended!

  • John

    One of the cleanest and best equipped we’ve ever stayed at. A fab welcome pack and lots of little extras which we’ve rarely had in a holiday let but all extremely useful - mats for muddy shoes, plenty of coat hooks, a coffee machine, pizza trays, and even slippers!! Rose the cleaner / manager was extremely helpful, coming out late at night when we had a problem. Highly recommended.
