  Hello, We returned yesterday from our stay at lock view and the four of us had such a gorgeous stay!

  The facilities are amazing and the location is great, on the canal! Do not let the housing estate you arrive through put you off. Amazing to have a coffee machine, dishwasher, tumble dryer etc - these were extras I didnt see advertised which made the stay extra comfortable. We loved the sauna and hot tub! Our friends who slept downstairs did mention the curtains let in quite a lot of light in the morning but we didn't have this issue upstairs. We visited Malham cove and that area, where we walked the loop of 5.1 miles which was beautiful. Be careful of the stairs though, I would recommend going the loop from Janet foss to malham cove rather than the other way around so you are gong down steps rather than up them, you'll also have to be very mobile, saying that i'm 8.5 months pregnant and managed. Keelham farm shop ( 5 min drive away) is so worth a visit, for a farm shop its very reasonable. Also Skipton woods was awesome. We met Kyle and his dad, they were both lovely and friendly. Not cheap, but we felt well worth the money, Thanks again Victoria

  What a fabulous house in a lovely location - the views and access to wonderful places.

  We loved the location of the house, the style of the house, the standard of design and facilities such as hot tub/sauna and kitchen, were all great. The hosts were very friendly and communications were top drawer. But, we must admit that the beds were really uncomfortable. Set up as a double didn't work as the individual beds had sunk so badly, and the springs were ever-present - even as a single. The connecting zip became a barrier to be together and very uncomfortable. Also, in all the airBnBs we've stayed in, the leaving requirements were by far the most comprehensive. Strip beds and put in a sack, empty bins, empty dishwasher and put everything away, clean down. All before 10AM departure. I was left wondering what the 'cleaning service' actually did. The wine and chocolates were really appreciated, but no spare toilet rolls, no shower/bath products for the beautiful baths and showers was a shame.

  We loved Squint Cottage from the moment we entered.

  The living room so cosy even though we didn't need the fire. The kitchen was well equipped, could almost say over equipped, but disappointed nowhere to put the food we brought with us. We managed though, just put it on the counter. The bathroom was lovely too and the towels so big and soft....just what you want when you get out of the shower. The bed was okay for us but some might think too soft. Could do with a chest of drawers or similar to put clothes. I just put them all at the bottom of the wardrobe. The wardrobe was the only problem as it was stiff to open and the handles came off every time. I just left it slightly open all the time. That hasn't put us off though as hope to book it again next year.

  A great place to stay, we had only been there 20 mins.

  and we were straight in the hot tub. We didn't mind it having to be switched off at 20:00 as we were like wrinkled prunes by 18:30 and had to cook dinner. There was every utensil needed to make dinner and we were soon relaxed for the night. The following day we took a slow amble into Skipton (5 miles away), down the canal bank. Where we sampled a few beers, before returning for more fun and games. Overall a great few days with lovely surroundings and great friends. We will be back, maybe to one of the other larger cottages currently in build. Thanks Kyle, you should be proud of your hard work in developing this lovely place.

  The standard of the accommodation was superb.

  We had a friendly greeting by Mark on arrival who showed us around the cottage. We tended to use the hot tub for an hour each evening after a long day out and before we went for our evening meal. The cottage is in an Ideal location as it is a very short walk to get to the shop, pub, Indian Restaurant and fish and chip shop. Skipton is lovely and just a few minutes car drive away so lots more choice for places to eat and some really lovely shops. A few places we visited that I would recommend: Howarth, Wensleydale Creamery, Linton Falls, York (if you like shopping and don’t mind a bit of a journey),.
