What our customers say about their holidays

  Castlewood Cottage was ideal for us.

  There was ample space, and we all appreciated the tasteful interior decor. The beds were comfortable with towels and linen of good quality. There was plenty of hanging space and hangers. A lot of thought had been put into the finer detaills (not always found in holiday rentals) - hand soap by every sink, large toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets and laundry liquid were supplied. The welcome pack for the humans was a lovely touch, as was the Scooby Snacks doggy chocolate! The double bedroom window had views of the church and castle. For insomniacs, the closeness to the chimes of the church clock were a reminder I didn’t need. The weather was somewhat disappointing for our rare and important family reunion with the Aussies, but the comfort of the cottage and the genuinely warm welcome and great service we received in shops, restaurants, cafes and bars was outstanding. We highly recommend The Woolly Sheep pub and restaurant , Cock and Bottle, VSQ Gin & More Bar and Kibble Dog Friendly Coffee House in Skipton. The Fountaine Inn in Linton continues give great value for money and delish, hearty meals served by friendly staff. The Retreat Tearoom and Black Horse Hotel in Grassington and Wonky Cafe in Settle were also very good. Castle Woods behind the impressive medieval castle is ideal for dog walkers. A thoroughly enjoyable stay was had by all - thank you. We highly recommend Castlewood Cottage as a base for exploring the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.

  Number 7 The Oaks was beautifully clean and very well equipped.

  The living room, kitchen and main bathroom were of a good size. We cooked each day and this worked well. The double bed was very comfortable. We stayed in October and the central heating worked very well and there was also an electric heater in the living room- cosy and warm. The balcony was a great size. A welcoming bottle of fizz and biscuits was a lovely touch. The statics are well spread out and the site itself was very quiet. The staff at reception were very friendly and helpful and there’s masses to do in the area. The staff were very knowledgeable about possible day trips. Things to consider… The site is very close to the A65 so if you need total peace and quiet don’t book on this site. Quarry lorries come past day and night and they do make a noise-especially at night! There is no information folder at the static. Sykes usually has one with lots of helpful info in (we had to seek help to get the boiler to work).

  Agreeing with all that has been said before the location and facilities of this Craven Cottage has been first class. I cant believe its only 3 stars we are certainly going to book again. We had a great week using a North West rover on the railway and also sampling various bus routes. The Saturday bus to Harrogate and the Sunday bus from Grassington to Hawes were particularly scenic and interesting. We mostly catered for ourselves but would recommend Bizzy Lizzies for fish and chips. Skipton has many bakers shops that you are spoilt for choice but pastries from Thomas's were very good. As for doing your washing try the Express Laundromat on Sackville Street a seven minute walk away and the staff were very helpful , they give change for the machines and you can buy soap there. WE hope you will enjoy your stay in this delightful cottage as we did

  We would highly recommend the property. The location is great for people with or without a car. Skipton is a town with lots to see close by or as we did drive further afield to visit other places. We visited York, Harrogate, Ullswater, Hawes, Ingleton, Bolton Abbey, Hebden Bridge, Ripon, Malham, Aysgarth Falls, Ilkley Moor and many other places. We also love having so much in Skipton on the doorstep so if you don’t drive it is a lovely town to walk around with interesting shops etc. The cottage is right in the heart of the town which is great when you want to pop out for a quick look at the market etc before going out for the day. The cottage is also very well looked after, very clean and has good facilities. We have stayed twice now and will hopefully return soon.

  Amazing home.

  the area is perfect for walking and dinning out if thats the kind of evening you like. cannal is right out side your front window where the hollidaymaker gives you a laught trying to control the boats , cons ,, dirty bedside tables very thick of dust must not of been wiped for a long time.. when i striped the bed there is a huge human body stain of pee where if i had seen it going in i would of not slept on the mattress that is the down fall, kitcken benches could do with a good degreese. Parking is not that easy as shopworkers and office workers use the road for free parking, so you can only get parked after 5 if you go out sight seeing , yes i would stay here again but with the mattress replaced.. many thanks
