• "Lovely home from home, spotless and well kept."

  Only one very minor point was the steps up to the property are very small and worn which was an issue when raining. Apart from that we all had a relaxing and enjoyable break.

  Thanks Colin for a lovely review, we are really happy that you enjoyed your stay! We'd love to welcome you again anytime you would like to stay! Vicky & Mike Property Owner

• "Great cottage, thank you for the lovely welcome pack."

  And everything you could possibly need for a stay. Full marks for a superb cottage by the canal. Can highly recommend the cafe just a 5 minute walk along the canal and for nice pub grub The White Lion. Which is a two minute walk away. If you like your real ale then try Craven Brew a 10 minute walk to Cross Hills. We walked the 11 miles along the canal to Saltaire which was great and walked up on the Moors in Haworth. So much to do but ran out of time. We can highly recommend this lovely cottage by the canal. Very peaceful and the views are great.

  Thanks for a super review Chris. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and it looks like you made a great start at enjoying all the amazing things there are to do here in Yorkshire! We'd love to welcome you back anytime you'd like to stay. Vicky & Mike Property Owner

  The cottage was cosy, clean and the kitchen was well catered for. You have lovely views of the canal from the living room and front bedroom. Mike & Vicky have done a great job with the cottage to make it home from home. The White lion a 2 min walk from the cottage was a great village pub very welcoming and good traditional pub grub at good prices. The question is will we go back to Canalside? A big yes!! Thanks for a wonderful stay Mike & Vicky.

• "It was all it said it would be and the father of the owner was sooo speedy to come when we had problems with hot water."

  We enjoyed and do not want to be picky but suggest the pillows and beds would benefit from being top quality. Most people only sleep in a holiday property so good quality pillows and longer beds with good mattresses are lovely whereas these beds are functional quick changeover ones. We were surprised how short they were? We are all long and have normal 6ft.6in beds. These were not and most people are getting bigger! Better information on the waste and bin collection is needed because we did not want to wheel a huge cumbersome bin down the steps for less than a third of a black bin liner! As it is the cleaner advised the father of the owner would take the refuse bag, as normal, but we felt we had not done what we should but we are hale and hearty - no older person could have done the bins so just kindly tell users that a black bag at the bottom of the steps is fine!

  Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we take onboard your comments. All of our beds are standard UK sizes and I'm sorry that they didn't meet your expectations. The information about the bins is very useful and we will make sure that future guests are aware that they do not have to move the bin if they do not feel able to. Vicky & Mike Property Owner

• "Canalside Cottage is located in the small village of Farnhill just 3 miles from Skipton in a perfect spot overlooking the canal."

  It is very comfortable, extremely well equipped and very clean. The accommodation is exactly as described and all the instructions and information were easy to follow. Detailed welcome pack very well presented on arrival. Perfect base for exploring Yorkshire and equally fun just watching the narrow boats from the lounge meander along the canal outside. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend for a stay any time of year.

  We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay David, we really appreciate your lovely review. We love watching the canal boats go by from the lounge too! We'd love to welcome you back if you'd ever like to stay again. Vicky and Mike Property Owner

• "We loved our time here!"

  Parking availability was great! Food truck down the street was wonderful! (Only caveat for older visitors is that no toilet on ground floor means lots of stairs if you’re spending time around the cottage. We were out often so not a deal-breaker by any means.) Beds & linens were exceptional. Fun to watch canalboats going by. Everything needed was available. Thanks for wonderful comfortable stay!

  Thanks so much for your super review Sue! We try really hard to make sure the cottage is as comfortable as possible for our guests so it is great to hear you enjoyed your stay. We hope to have you stay with us again sometime in the future. Vicky & Mike Property Owner

• "This is a well equipped, cosy cottage in a lovely village, ideally situated for canal walks."

  Skipton is ten miles round. You can shorten the walk by parking in Radley or walking to Radley. The absence of a toilet downstairs did not cause us much inconvenience. A quibble. We would certainly book again as the weather unfortunately was too poor for us to strike out into the hills and dales. Still left us a lot to do there. Skipton is a lovely town. Staycation heaven!

  We are so glad you enjoyed your stay John (despite the wet Yorkshire weather!) and we are thrilled to see you have booked with us again for next year! Thank you! Vicky & Mike Property Owner

• "A very well equipped and comfortable cottage."

  Suggestions would be for waste bins in the bedrooms. A mirror in the attic bedroom. A shelf near the washbasin in the main bathroom. Some kind of pouffe in the lounge to enable sitting with your feet up. This has been our second visit - we would be happy to come again. Many thanks, Jennifer E Burston.

  The little garden looking over the canal was beautiful and a great place to enjoy a glass of wine (provided, thank you) while watching the boats go past. Although not a problem for us it might be useful for other visitors to know that the steps from the road up to the front door are very steep and narrow.

• "The cottage was clean and tidy and very well provisioned with equipment, games and DVDs, and plenty of information to make the stay successful."

  The garden and its outside furniture was lovely, and the site is terrific. The bedrooms were lovely. Our main criticism was the uncomfortable settees in the lounge - the purple settee had re-stuffed cushions that were very bumpy and hard to sit on and the grey settee's cushions kept sliding forward so it was impossible to sit on it for long without having to adjust them. The shower in the ensuite on the top floor filled when using the shower, as it seemed slow to drain away but had really good pressure. We loved the freestanding bath in the first floor bathroom. We had no need to use the log fire, but there was ample provision of kindling and wood. As there is no shop in the village, a welcome 1 pt of milk in the fridge would have been handy to go with the teabags and coffee that was already there!

  Dear Gail, Thanks very much for taking the time to write such a comprehensive review. I'd like to let you know that we have acted on your suggestions - new filling for the sofa, sorted out the drain in the shower and we have also started providing milk and a bottle of wine along with our locally produced biscuits. We are glad you had a great stay and you are always welcome! Vicky and Mike Property Owner

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cottage."

  It was really comfortable and spacious with a good sized kitchen. The view from the lounge of the fields in the distance and the barges sailing along the canal were amazing. The shower in the main bathroom was not very practical as it had no holder or shower curtain and was difficult to use without splashing the floor and walls. This necessitated us having to use the ensuite bathroom which was a little inconvenient since there were four in our party. The hot water boiler stopped on several occassions but we were able to reset it, Indeed this seemed to be a regular occurrence from other reviews. R Craig

• "We were very happy with the cottage which was well decorated and presented and well situated."

  We found having two fridges very helpful as we were 2 parts of one family. We liked having a kitchen table big enough for us all 5 of us to eat at. It was great having two bathrooms. It was comfortable and enjoyable to stay in. We would certainly recommend it. The only very minor problems were the tin opener which didn’t work, only one tea towel and one of the burners on the gas cooker (front left) wasn’t running smoothly. The hot water boiler stopped one day but we were able to reset it. So a really nice holiday home and we had a very enjoyable holiday.
