• "Skipton with its variety of restaurants, pubs and shops is a great base to explore the Yorkshire Dales and Woodman Cottage was the perfect place to stay."

  Everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and parking was easy just around the corner. There isn’t much in the way of outside space but the bench at the front caught the afternoon sun so was great for a G & T at the end of the day before going out to eat. The cottage spotlessly clean and there are some lovely welcoming touches. We would definitely stay again.

• "A very well equipped cosy little cottage only a few minutes walk to the centre of Skipton."

  Great to see things like paper towels, tea towels and washing machine capsules. Heaps of books to read, a comfy sofa to relax and watch movies and a lovely bath to soak in. Only thing to be cautious of is if you are tall, be aware the entry to the kitchen is a little low. My husband banged his head pretty hard on the door frame a couple of times. Also, the bed is a little small for a tall person. Other than that, this is a great place to stay!

• "We had a lovely stay."

  We were very pleased will all the extra little touches and amenities, you could tell a lot of thought had been put in to making the place homey. It was very cosy and felt like a home away from home. We loved sitting by the fire and the bed was very comfy. We were close enough to everything we needed. We would definitely come again and recommend to anyone.

• "This is a delightful, cosy and well maintained little house."

  Perfect for a couple or solo visitor. Extremely well equipped, comfortable and friendly! The property is very convenient for the town centre where there are plenty of good cafés and restaurants. Also within walking distance of the train and bus station if travelling by public transport. Loved it!

• "Very well equipped and comfortable cottage offset from the main road within 5 minutes walk of town with many attractions, eating establishments and shops."

  Free parking available just round the corner in the next side street (neighbours and shop use the limited outside parking). Newsagents for last minute essentials and a coffee shop next to the cottage on the main road which although busy at times did not disturb us. Appreciated little extras left by the owners such as oil, ketchup and spices which we were allowed to use. The most up to date and extensive information I have ever seen (on the cottage, attractions, eating places etc)... put together by the owners.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. There was everything that you needed to make your stay a pleasurable experience. Being an older couple we found the stairs awkward being the only drawback.

  The owners have thought about everything and we really did not want for nothing. The cottage is cosy and inviting, very clean, nicely decorated and very comfortable. Although there is no parking directly outside the property, we found ample parking on the main road and it was not a problem.

• "We had a lovely stay in Woodman Cottage, arriving to find a welcome tray of goodies and the woodburner all laid out ready for us."

  The cottage is very tastefully decorated and its well equipped too. One thing that would make it even more comfortable for more folk would be to change the double bed for a king size, which surely most people prefer? Its really convenient for walking and visiting both the town and the wider dales. Parking was really non existent as its first come first served and the three cars outside the cottage never moved for our whole stay. But there is parking near by and we appreciated the drop off space. So all good!

• "Cottage was very well equipped and furnished to provide for a comfortable and relaxing stay."

  The cottage is just a short distance from the town centre and there are short cuts you can take to supermarkets, the bus station and the railway station. Whilst parking is almost impossible in front of the cottage you can park your car for free just round the corner (or avail yourself of a weekly parking ticket (£15) for the Council car parks). The stairs in the cottage are relatively steep and would not be suitable for someone with mobility issues.

• "The cottage is just lovely and this was our second stay here."

  It's well equipped and incredibly clean. The only issue is parking. The beauty people on the corner take up a lot of the space and others will park behind you and block you in without giving it a second thought. Nothing you can do about it but for us that was the only niggle. Will still be happy to stay again though.

• "We had a great time in this lovely comfortable cottage."

  It was nice and clean and the furnishings were good quality and comfortable. It seemed spacious, although only one bedroom, it is very well thought out. No outside space, but that didn’t particularly bother us as we were out and about most of the time. I would recommend this cottage for couples. The only thing that would improve it for us would be a TV in the bedroom, but that’s just personal preference.

• "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!

• "For the fact that you had to vacate the property by 9 and could not arrive till 4 due to the property having a "deep clean", I was disappointed."

  There where alot of cobwebs, behind the table in the living room looked like it had not been cleaned for a long time, my socks were very dirty after just walking about for a few days. Also it states that parking is on a first come basis, but as the beauty salon which is right next to the parking for the cottage and they have a no parking sign and have no problem blocking you in if you park your car there I would not even bother to park outside the cottage. The location of the cottage is perfect and everything in Skipton is just 5 minutes walk.

• "Parking information misleading but we were aware of that from comments made by previous visitors."

  Parking outside the cottage is useless as it is used by several houses and the beauty salon visitors so that even if you parked there you are likely to get boxed in. Having said that the recommended parking around the corner was fine (beware school closing times, very congested for 20 minutes). Cottage lovely, well equipped, excellent position for town, good file of useful information.

  It's handy for the main high street and only a stroll down to the canal and railway station. Parking in front of the cottage is a little restrictive, but there is ample parking one street away.

• "Woodman Cottage is a beautiful well equipped cottage with lots of lovely touches and added extras which made for a very pleasant stay."

  Parking outside the cottage was not always possible which involved parking in the nearby road or nearby car park, however we were aware that this would be be on a first come first served basis. There were only a few minor points regarding the cottage itself, such as no socket near the dressing table in the bedroom which meant having to dry my hair downstairs at the dining table, and also the shower basket provided for holding shampoo, etc was attached too high on the wall to be easily accessed. Plus points were the coat hooks for hanging coats on - something sadly lacking in most other cottages we have stayed in - which were a godsend considering we were staying during the tail end of storm Dennis! On the whole we found it very comfortable and very conveniently situated in the town and would definitely recommend to others.

  We stayed for 3 nights over a long weekend and we could not fault the accommodation, it was exactly as advertised, if not better and everything you might need was supplied. The welcome pack from the owners was a lovely addition and gave us everything we needed for our first night in Skipton. There was also so much to do in the surrounding areas we ran out of time, so we will definitely be returning next year! Thank you for an amazing weekend away.

• "The cottage made all the difference."

  It was like being at home - that was the impression we got when we first opened the door. Everything that we could have needed was provided and it all worked! There was even a Nespresso machine and for us that's a big plus. The cottage was quirky in the nicest possible way; there were so many personal touches that it felt almost as though we knew the owner(s) - pity we didn't quite meet them. It was so handy for the town centre - just a short walk, and the parking area next to the cottage worked well (in that we always managed to get parked there). If we need a cottage in Skipton again this is where we'll want to be. I can't praise this cottage highly enough - so much better than we could have imagined. Oh, and another thing - the bathroom (bath and shower) was a dream; then again, it all was.
