"What a lucky find, the cottage was a real home from, spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished, extremely comfortable,every need catered, so much care had obviously gone into creating this gem, Tony was super efficient, sending emails prior to arriving with all the information you could need plus useful some local walks, we met him on the day we arrived and he was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble, he had provided us with some real treats which after a long journey were most appreciated and welcome, the location of the cottage was excellent, just a short walk to the canals and local shops, lots of stunning scenery very close by, we have stayed in many holiday places but this is on different level, very highly recommended."
-
"We enjoyed our stay, lots of thought gone into this cottage and loved the treats left by the owner."
Loved the view from the bedroom window when you wake up. Short walk into town and plenty of lovely places to eat.
-
"Property perfect for us - might be tricky if limited mobility - steep stairs - hilly walk up from town but fabulous views from property."
Only 5 mins from local amenities . Amazing welcome pack and helpful host. We would certainly book this property again.
-
"Really lovely holiday."
The property was as described and perfectly located. Welcome pack was a great surprise and very generous, and all communication re entry, local walks etc was super helpful (thanks Tony). Skipton itself and the surrounding area were delightful.
-
"We had a fantastic stay in this lovely property."
The views from the sitting room and the bedroom were amazing and it's just a short walk down into Skipton. The owner provided every comfort and couldn't have been more helpfull we really appreciated all the treats he left for us we intend to visit the property again for another stay. The only thing that I might suggest is that the owner leaves a visitor book in the property so he can see all the lovely comments he would receive. Brian and Alison Stephens

"The location was ideal for access to the town with interesting views over Skipton, but car parking was not very convenient with the narrow streets."
There was a very good selection of welcome materials. Some instructions for operating the cooker would have been useful.
-
"We loved the property for our few days in beautiful Skipton."
The photos of 4 Prospect Place were very true and we were delighted with our view over the town and across to the hills especially when the evening sun was shining out. It is very central and brilliant for walking alongside the canal, going to the shops, the chippy, the church. It’s close to the station too which was good for our trip on the Settle/Carlisle line. We had a lovely welcome pack too.
-
"The cottage was well equipped and the instructions for use were thorough."
We particularly appreciated the fresh flowers and the cakes, fruit, wine and other provisions left for us which far exceeded those normally provided in previous places we've stayed. Tony couldn't have been more welcoming and happy to provide any help he could.
-
"What a gem !"
The cottage was perfect , beautiful and the location is ideal for a short walk into town . We had no issues with parking either . Tony the owner was so helpful and the bonus of a bottle of prosecco, butter , cakes etc was a lovely touch . We are definitely coming back here to stay again .
-
"4 Prospect Place was a very clean and comfortable cottage."
It was very well equipped and we could not fault the cottage. Tony, the owner, was very helpful and ensured that we were happy with the cottage.
-
"Wonderful experience as this was our first holiday in the UK after health issues."
The cottage was warm and inviting and the owner added a few extra touches, flowers on the table, daily essentials in the fridge, fresh fruit and a nice cold bottle of prosecco too. Every where was spotlessly clean. The location was very good and close to all amenities. Will definitely go back again, hopefully the weather will be a bit kinder then we can sit out in the garden. For us it was just what we needed.
-
"A lovely cottage that is very central."
Tony was so helpful. He provided us with detailed walks that were lovely and so relaxing. Lovely welcoming gifts also, to make our trip even more special.
-
"Upstairs needs updating."
The shower is difficult to operate. A welcome information packet should be supplied. Also parking advice.
Please see my other reviews. This is very frustrating: a welcome pack was emailed to you (inc. parking advice) / the shower is electric and simply requires the push of a button and the turn of a dial / I let you arrive early and stay late - but there is no mention of this. Property Owner
-
"We had a wonderful stay in a lovely, comfortable property which has gorgeous views over the town and surrounding hills."
The owner, Tony, takes time and effort to make sure everything is right for your stay and a fantastic welcome pack!
-
"Our second visit."
Great property and location. Tony available if needed. One small improvement would be providing a small bench on the decking - such a lovely sunny spot.
-
"An excellent holiday cottage helped by Tony's comprehensive welcoming email/web page and visit to ensure we had all we needed."
There were a lot of nice touches such as flowers and items in the refrigerator which were appreciated. Skipton has a lot to offer and a day in the local area is very rewarding. We would use again if in the Yorkshire Dales
-
"Couldn't fault the set up enjoyed our time immensely and the location is really central to town."
Top marks for the welcome package of milk, cake, fresh flowers, orange juice, Prosecco and fruit very unexpected but much appreciated
-
"Amazing location so near the town."
Very well equipped cottage. The owner Tony very friendly & give us some great walks. Will be back.
-
"We had a lovely stay at Prospect Place."
The cottage was perfect for us - it had everything we needed and the view was wonderful. The owner Tony is great for offering ideas for things to do in Skipton and is super helpful. The welcome pack was incredibly generous. I just wished I had a longer stay! I really recommend it as a place to stay.
-
"Tony gave us a great welcome and a generous welcome pack, both of which were much appreciated."
The cottage is very well equipped with everything you need and comfortable. Great views over Skipton to the far hills from the lounge, bedroom and outside decking. You can walk down to the canal in 5 minutes, and on to Gargrave if you feel like it. Skipton has many cafes, independent shops and well known supermarkets. Note the stairs in the cottage are steep, but there is a sturdy handrail. Lovely stay.
-
"The owner is a very polite man who would do anything for you in order for you to enjoy the stay."
Tony is a true Gentleman who is very kind.The property is very picturesque.
-
"We spent a lovely first visit to Skipton and to this cottage which is in a very good location and is in an excellent condition."
The owner Tony obviously gives a lot of thought to his guests. There was a well stocked "welcome pack", he sent us suggestions for a couple of local walks and was most helpful during our stay. We would have no hesitation in recommending 4 Prospect Place.
-
"Only slight occasional problem was parking and access up Elliott St ,some parents park outside the school illegally."
-
"A second stay in this first class cottage."
Owner very friendly and helpful. Excellent location, comfortable and well equipped accommodation. Highly recommended.
-
"Lovely property with a friendly and helpful owner."
-
"The best views in Skipton."
We came here for a week and booked the cottage for 6 months. The location is excellent and Tony is the perfect host. We've stayed in Skipton may times before and this is our favourite cottage by far. Clean, comfortable and the best views in Skipton. What more could you ask for. Highly recommended
-
"This is our second stay at Prospect Cottage and, having stayed in many holiday lets in the area over the years, is definitely our favourite."
The cottage is perfect for exploring the local area or just having a place to stay to kick back and recharge the batteries while enjoying the fabulous uninterrupted views over the town and southern hills. Everything was provided to ensure that our stay was as pleasant as possible - I especially enjoyed the complementary wine and my partners loved the flowers. The cottage was beautifully maintained and immaculate inside and out.
-
"We had a fantastic stay at Prospect Cottage."
Tony is the perfect host and everything required for a comfortable stay is provided. The cottage has one of the best views in Skipton and the large south-facing windows offer a perfect vista overlooking the town and the distant hills. Parking is available outside the property and we never had any problems finding a space. The cottage is situated a short walk from the town centre, local amenities and nearby walks - a really fantastic location. Highly recommended; we'll be back!
-
"We really liked this property."
Up a short, steep hill, it had lovely views from the deck, over Skipton and the surrounding countryside. A five minute walk took us to the town centre. It was an easy, comfortable place for two people to stay. It was very well equipped and Tony had generously provided many items in addition to the basic welcome pack, including flowers and fruit. He also kept in touch to ensure we had all we needed. A very pleasant small traditional house for a short break in a beautiful place.
-
"A very pleasant house and well equipped (just needs a fish slice in the kitchen drawer!"
). Comfortable, good WiFi, close to Skipton centre. The streets are hilly, but this is Skipton! Excellent communication from the owner throughout and he checked in with us mid-week to make sure all was OK. I would have no problems recommending this property or owner. Just do not turn up in a big car because you will have trouble parking it!
-
"Great property ideal for couples or family , not so good for those who may be less agile ."
Parking off road but not always available near house and so can be a nuisance loading unloading especially for those less fit. Central Skipton so 5 mins walk of town centre
-
"Excellent accommodation Tony the owner came down to ensure everything was OK and if we needed any help with anything."
Most enjoyable and relaxing break thank you
-
"Tony knows how to prepare the cottage to make you feel at home as soon as you walk through the front door."
Everything you need is there for you. The location is great within easy reach of the town centre and all it has to offer.
-
"Everything was as it said, and much more."
Lovely surprise with a nice welcome pack. A nice spot and handy for shops, just 5 minutes away. Would definitely recommend.
-
"Great place to stay."
Comfortable, tastefully furnished, quiet yet easy stroll to town centre. All we needed. Good view from the back over the town. Tony popped round for a friendly hello.
-
"Excellent location with easy walk to shops and eating places though it is a short uphill back."
Clean and comfortable and lovely welcome pack of goodies.
-
"We had a lovely time staying at this property."
Plus points - The owner left us a much appreciated welcome pack of food and some fresh flowers. Although a traditional terraced house it has fresh, modern decor and mod cons such as induction hub, smart speakers and internet TV Well-equipped kitchen. Beautiful views over Skipton from the house or the decking area to the rear. Loads of space for luggage, etc. Warm and comfortable with effective central heating and stove-style gas fire Quiet area, but just a short wak to the scenic canal area and the town centre. It would have been a bonus to have a vacuum cleaner for odd spilt crumbs, bit that's a minor point. Also the stairs are fairly steep, which is something to consider if you are not very fit. All in all we had a lovely stay and would highly recommend this property.
-
"Fabulous place."
Over and above our expectations. Highly recommended for stay in skipton. Great location and will definitely plan to return. The host attention to detail to make us comfortable and welcome was fab.
-
"The cottage was lovely and had everything we could've needed."
The view from the cottage was wonderful and it was clean and furnished to a high standard. The location was ideal for walking along the canal, into the woods or into the town with just a 5-10 minute stroll. The host Tony was attentive and made sure everything was just right and perfect for our lovely relaxing weekend away in Skipton.
-
"Return trip."
We stayed here in September so when we had planned a short Christmas trip to South Yorkshire it was a no brainer to add on a few days in North Yorkshire, and there was only one place we wanted to stay. With all the uncertainty about travel at the moment Tony was very accommodating and kept us up to date with options as others changed their bookings. When we arrived the Christmas tree was up and the candles lit (rechargeable ones that is) in the lounge so it was homely as soon as you walked through the door. Already planning a stay in 2022.
-
"This is a lovely place to stay and it's a short walk to get into Skipton."

"On first impressions."
...WOW.The cottage was so inviting and very homely. The cottage was spotless and tastefully decorated. And what a welcome pack. with tea, coffee and sugar on the counter and also 4 wholemeal rolls. Open the fridge and there was milk, juice , bottle of prosecco, butter spread and sandwich fillers. Two types of cake then in a fruit bowl was apples bananas and satusuma. Then there was two vases of flowers. What a welcome. Plenty of books to read or games to play. Plenty of of leaflets for trips in the area. Skipton is so so pretty and the cottage is 5 mins from the town centre. Tony is a lovely person and nothing was too much trouble for him. He gives you lots of information before you arrive. A fabulous place that i would highly recommend to any couple.
-
"The property is immaculate, everything is new and well presented."
It is located very centrally in the super town of Skipton and has a lovely view of the hills (over the top of roofs). The owner was very helpful with lovely info and walks of the area. He also provided some very nice items in the fridge for us, really appreciated.
-
"This has to be the best property we have stayed at during our many years of travelling throughout Yorkshire."
The property is located at the top end of town with the best views of the area from the rear garden veranda where you can sit and chill as the sun goes down. The owner, Tony, said it was his first year of letting out the property and could we point highlight anything he could improve. We failed to provide any suggestions as the amenities are first class with everything you will need during your stay provided. He sent us all of the information we would need while staying there well ahead of our arrival so we could plan our stay ahead of time. Definitely top of our list for our next visit to T'Dales.
-

Just a stone's throw away from the vast green landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales, this warm and inviting abode is the perfect base from which to enjoy the very best that the English countryside has to offer.
As you step inside this newly-refurbished home, discover an attractive and traditional sitting room featuring two plush sofas and an eye-catching gas stove, ideal for snuggling up and enjoying an entertaining evening indoors on those cold winter nights.
Continuing through the property, a well-designed contemporary kitchen can be found boasting a plethora of appliances such as an electric oven and hob, as well as hosting a pretty country-style dining table where you can indulge in many delicious meals.
Climb the staircase up to the first floor and be greeted by two lovely bedrooms; the master bedroom includes a king-size zip & lock bed, which can be divided into two separate single beds if required, whilst a second bedroom is home to a futon, allowing for flexible sleeping arrangements.
Here you will also find a sizable bathroom with both a bath and shower over.
Head out to the enclosed garden for a breath of fresh air, or grab your walking boots and waterproof coats and head for the great outdoors.
Often referred to as 'The Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales', it's little wonder that Skipton has become a firm favourite amongst many holiday makers.
Spend your days wandering the canals that line the town, or delight in a tour of the 12th century Skipton Castle and the Craven Museum and Gallery.
See the beautifully-restored Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway, or head deeper into the Yorkshire Dales to discover the Stepping Stones, Bolton Abbey and The Strid Ancient Woodland.
Admire colourful flowers and the well-kept lawns of Parcevall Hall Gardens, or discover the quirky and unqiue geological site of Malham Cove on an awe-inspiring hike through the Malham Tarn Estate.

About the location
SKIPTON
Grassington 9 miles; Harrogate 20 miles.
Known as “The Gateway to the Dales”, Skipton is well placed for visiting all that the Dales has to offer, whilst York, the Lake District and the West Coast are also within easy motoring distance. This lovely market town has much to interest the enthusiastic visitor, boasting an ancient castle open to the public, a beautiful old parish church and a colourful market occupying the cobbled setts each side of the high street. In 2014, The Sunday Times named Skipton as Britain's "best place to live" and two years later placed it among the nine best towns in Yorkshire and the North-East. Steam railways with regular excursions are available at Embsay and Bolton Abbey, and the Leeds to Liverpool Canal passes through Skipton with the 1 mile long Foulridge Tunnel and the 5-rise locks at Bingley within a short travel. Golf, swimming, squash, tennis and snooker are all available locally and the excellent public transport means the car can be left at home!
