  • "Very well appointed accommodation ideal for a couple who want to be active."

    Thoughtfully and carefully designed although the spiral staircase should be disclosed as it might pose a problem for anyone who was less than fit and agile> Gorgeous location in a beautiful part of the Dales.

    Thanks for taking the time to provide a review, it’s much appreciated. I’m so sorry you weren’t aware of the spiral staircase. It features in many of the photos & also in the description on Sykes. However, it’s a 1.2m width space saving design…so slightly smaller than a standard staircase width which may not be clear from the information provided. Thanks for highlighting this for other guests & for choosing to stay at Skylight Retreat. :) Property Owner

  • "The property and location were perfect for our break, giving us both a base to explore the area and a place to walk from."

    We were delighted with the property and its amenities. It has been extremely well planned and had everything we needed for our stay. It is also very comfortable.

    Thank you both…and your super cute furry +1 for being super guests. Lovely to hear you were comfortable and had a great week exploring. Skye :) Property Owner

  • "What an amazing little find."

    Everything was perfect and we couldn't have wanted for more. Well equipped and very quirky. Very high end finish on the property and quality furnishings. The location was spot on too. Skye was keen to ensure we had everything we needed. Thank you.

    Thank you! :) So happy everything was good for you. Taking the time to leave a review is hugely appreciated. All the best, Skye Property Owner

  • "We had a fantastic stay at Skylight Retreat."

    The house was perfect for two, comfortable, sparkling clean and very well equipped. The location could not have been better for walks around the three peaks and waterfalls. We will definitely be back.

    Thank so much! It was a genuine pleasure to meet you both & I look forward to your return :) Property Owner

    We had a lovely stay at Skylight Retreat. Perfectly located on the waterfall trail, equipped with everything we needed for a long weekend away. Thank you

  • "Beautiful little property for 2."

    Cleverly converted to a high standard. Lovely quiet location, perfect for our Border Collie. Only 5 minutes walk from the midway point on the Ingleton Waterfalls walk. We also visited Malham Cove and Ingleborough. Plenty of places to eat in Ingleton village centre although the property itself is very well equipped for self catering. The owner Skye lives in the property next door if you require any further assistance. Perfect bolthole for a quiet weekend away.

    Chuffed that you (& your gorgeous border collie!) had a lovely time Was a pleasure to have you stay at Skylight Retreat & thanks so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review. All the best, Skye Property Owner

  • "I only booked the property with Sykes at 10pm the evening before but absolutely no problems whatsoever and what a find!"

    The photos hardly do justice to the thought and quality that has been put into this new barn conversion. There is everything you need in the kitchen to eat in and the shower room is spacious with a super hot shower and soaps/shampoo provided. The setting is delightful in "limestone country" with long or short walks or cycle rides straight from the door. Being up on the hillside you have views across to Ingleborough which catches the setting sun but no problem with access there being good tarmac road leading to the property through fields with sheep and cattle. It is a small hamlet with other well presented private properties but so quiet and peaceful. Skylight Retreat is a great place to just chill out and absorb what is around you or great to use as a base while touring the Yorkshire Dales or the South Lakes. My dog loved it too! David July 2024

    Thank you so much for your amazing review! Lovely to meet you & happy that you explored all that Skylight Retreat has to offer from the door …& a few more trips down memory lane to cherish! Welcome back anytime. All the best, Skye Property Owner

    Instruction book for everything in property. Owner very helpful if you need any information. Property is at halfway point for Ingleton Falls. Beautiful views and bonus is sat nav takes you right to parking space. Also has a patio area.

    Thank you for your super review, it’s much appreciated. It was a genuine pleasure to have you to stay at Skylight Retreat. :) Property Owner

  • "We really enjoyed our stay at Skylight Retreat."

    It's in such a wonderful location. We especially appreciated it being adjacent to the Waterfalls Walk so that we could easily take our dog for great walks. The property is well appointed and comfortable for what it is. Because we booked 'last minute' we didn't fully appreciate that there is no living room or comfortable seating area either inside or in the tiny orchard area.

    Hello. Glad you had some wonderful dog walks & sunshine! Sorry you were not as comfortable as you hoped. The property has a king size bed and an armchair on the first floor. Unfortunately there isn’t space for a sofa. There is also seating in the orchard as shown on the listing. I do have bean bags available for additional indoor or outdoor seating which I offered. Thanks for your feedback it’s very helpful for guests looking to book in the future. :) Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely pre wedding weekend stay at Skylight retreat with our little dog."

    It’s lovely, clean & modern! It’s in the perfect location for the waterfall walk & we also did the Ingleborough caves and nature trail. OPO bar is a must we had the best time on a Saturday evening there. We didn’t want the weekend to end it was so relaxing and such a beautiful location. The stairs at skylight retreat are very narrow but we managed okay. Thanks for a lush stay :)

    Thanks for a lovely review! Really happy you had such a relaxing & enjoyable stay & managed to visit some of Ingleton’s gems. Wish you both a wonderful wedding. Thanks for being super guests. :) Property Owner

    Really good use of space, very clean and good amenities. The host Skye, was lovely and very helpful with her knowledge about the area and providing us with a lovely walk. Will definitely be revisiting. Lovely short stay.

    Thanks for your super review. So happy you enjoyed your stay & the Ingleborough walk from the property. Look forward to hosting you again… Whernside from the door next time! ;) Property Owner

  • "Beautiful property in fantastic location to enjoy the local scenery and walks from the doorstep (including the waterfall walk!"

    ). Skye was very helpful - provided a gate so our dog could roam free in the garden without us even asking! Only draw back was the lack of living room area/sofa as the space is quite small and cosy but perfect for a short stay in the dales.

    Hello. Thanks for taking the time to leave this thoughtful feedback & choosing to book Skylight Retreat. Appreciate your comment re the sofa. The conversion was a spatial challenge! Chose a kingsize bed rather than a double, but then lost space for a sofa. I will look into providing beanbags on request if guests would like extra seating upstairs, so thank you for highlighting this aspect - it’s super helpful feedback :) Property Owner
