What our customers say about their holidays

  This was our son Finn’s first holiday - he is 7 weeks old.

  The cottage was a perfect size for the 3 of us (we brought Finn’s cot with us - which fitted in the bedroom with no problem). The cottage was beautiful, had all the facilities we would need and we really liked the added touches that you don’t get in other properties - cleaning products to use, herbs, spices and oils to cook with, local information and recommendations about where to go. We thought it was fantastic and couldn’t fault it at all. It was also rather cool in the hot days and nights we are having so great to come back to! The location is also brilliant - a 2 minute walk into the centre of Skipton but you don’t hear the noise you would expect by being that close. The bathroom is lovely - especially the shower which we wished we could take home. Thank you for a great holiday!

  The cottage was extremely well equipped with all the little extras you may need like a fan, books, dvds sauces and condiments .

  It had a dishwasher and washing machine too. The shower was amazing having 6 shower heads. The bed was very comfortable and large. The location of the premises was ideal in that you were surrounded by shops with well serviced public transport a very short walk away enabling you to get out and about if you wished to leave your car at home. A walk around the back of the castle is enjoyed together with a stroll down the canal side. There is a variety of eating places within a very short distance and a wetherspoons within 2 mins walk. We visited Malham, Howarth, Grassington and Hebdon Bridge all fabulous places travelling by bus and enjoyed the fantastic views along the way! We didn't want to leave and will probably return for another holiday in the future. Julie and Ian, Preston.

  We've just returned from a week's stay in Journeyman's Loft (JL) which we thoroughly enjoyed, and would recommend JL without hesitation.

  JL is well situated in the centre of Skipton with all amenities just a short walk away. The accommodation is comfortable - we slept well :) - and had everything we needed. Access to the property is up a steep narrow roadway, and there are steep steps up to the front door. Internal stairs, and the narrow kitchen and bathroom might make the property tricky for those with limited mobility. As mentioned in other reviews, the controls on the oven have been worn off over time. If we were not familiar with electric oven controls, we would have really struggled with this. Don't be put off by the somewhat unattractive first photograph showing the garage door below the property. But the accommodation was great for us - almost a home-from-home.

  It's not often that we find our expectations surpassed in a holiday cottage, but this time we did! Thank you very much, it was fabulous. It's even better than the pictures, really clean and very well equipped. The kitchen has plenty of crockery, glasses, cutlery and pans. The bedding is good quality as are the towels and bathroom fittings. There are plenty of games and also guidebooks with local walks. We visited in February and the weather was challenging on a couple of days but the cottage was warm and cosy and the woodburner was great. In good weather, the outside area would be fab, with views over the village & the Aire valley. We'll definitely try and book again when we're next in Yorkshire

  Wi-fi worked for about the first 24 hrs, thereafter not at all.

  Not the end of the world, but irritating. It's too dim in the bathroom. Main light was dull; the mirror over the wash basin had two vertical strips of lights built in, one on either side. The left hand one of these had slipped over to about 45 degrees, and had gone behind the front of the mirror, reducing the light. May be tricky to fix, but needs doing. The place was clean and well-appointed and suited my needs very well. The neighbours are very close on one side, and the easy visibility into each others front rooms was a bit disconcerting. For a bit of privacy, the curtains needed pulling across a bit. Not a big problem though, and they were friendly enough.
