Guests say
Zoey Cottage in Skipton is highly praised for its cleanliness, stunning views, and proximity to local attractions. Guests appreciate the comfortable accommodations, well-equipped facilities, and the warm welcome from the owner. The scenic canal walk into town and the peaceful farm setting contribute to a relaxing holiday experience, despite minor maintenance issues and the occasional lack of welcome gifts.
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with numerous guests noting its spotless condition. There is, however, a single mention of cleanliness issues which seems to be an outlier.
The location is consistently lauded for its beautiful views and easy access to Skipton and the Yorkshire Dales. The canal-side setting is a highlight, although one review mentions the walk back at night can be challenging.
Comfort is well-regarded with mentions of a warm, cosy atmosphere and good beds, although there are comments about the firmness of sofas and mattresses that suggest room for improvement.
Facilities are generally praised for being well-equipped and comfortable. However, some guests noted minor maintenance issues and suggested additional kitchen equipment, which slightly lowers the score.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there is insufficient information regarding the provision of welcome gifts to accurately score thoughtfulness. It is noted that gifts are not guaranteed and their presence or absence should not be expected.

We did the canal walk to Skipton quite a few times, it's only a mile to the centre of the town. A great location for the surrounding villages and towns, such a beautiful area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back! Thank you.
