Bob's Cottage

The cottage was adequate for our needs.

Generally clean. Kitchen equipment a bit sparse eg no small saucepan, colander etc. Plug in bath didn't work and shower a bit feeble. Somehow lacked character. Information pack could be better presented. Good situation.

The property was well-located and well equipped.

Parking was fine for us but might be a problem at busy times and the road is very steep. The only real issue we had was the very thin curtains which weren't condusive to a good night's sleep - a blackout blind would be a big plus.

A very enjoyable stay.

First time staying at Skipton. Accomodation was very homely, clean and comfortable.Excellant for bus and train station near by. Very quiet street.Plenty of places to eat. Lovely walking.Thank you . Caroline and Owain.

Had a great 5 days in Skipton in this fantastic house.

Every thing u could possibly need is in there. It was very clean too. 1 min walk to the bus station and 2 min walk into the centre of Skipton. Highly recommend the Cock and Bottle pub and the Castle Inn for food.

This property was of a very high standard and exceptionally clean.

Only a few steps into town and parking outside always available.

Great location, very close to bus station and centre of Skipton, however on a very steep hill at the bottom of which was a glass ridden area aside a bar.

..so had to be careful with the dog. We never found parking by Bob's a problem. The house was spotlessly clean. The seating in the lounge was small and uncomfortable and not enough for a house of this size. Bed in master was very comfortable.Outside the yard is small, very tidy and totally secure for dogs.

Lovely Cottage , So comfy home, Also it nearer to everything.

We will come back in the future.

We were v happy with Bobs cottage.

Spacious and well equipped with comfortable beds. Good location for the town and countryside.

Great find the photos don’t do Bobs cottage justice it’s bigger than it looks and the location is brilliant in the centre of lovely Skipton.

Our family of 4 had a lovely New years break I would definitely stay here again. We parked our 2 cars directly outside the house it has a lovely little rear yard area and a downstairs toilet as well as the main bathroom. The hosts provided basics Tea,Coffee, cleaning products even dog treats. Only 2 minor recommendations supply larger bath towels please and get a dishwasher no one on a break likes washing up these are only my opinions lol. Thank you for our lovely stay

Lovely spacious property, it was spotlessly clean and comfortable we had everything we needed and more.

Even though it’s close to the centre it’s a quiet street so had a peaceful 4 nights sleep. Bob’ Cottage is the perfect place for exploring Skipton and the surrounding areas, with the bus station a 2 minute walk and train station a 10 minute walk from the property.

Bobs cottage is a beautiful property, close to town ,shops,pubs,takeaways and restaurants.

Great walks for dogs. Parking is a nightmare. We had to park over 2 streets away on day of arrival,but 8am following day no problem straight outside the door. Hence very close to town and free parking . But would book again if we were to come back to Skipton x

Bob’s Cottage was very clean but basic.

Little touches like a hairdryer and bin bags in the waste baskets would have been helpful. Coasters rather than paper beer mats in the living room would be preferable. However, it is situated in the heart of Skipton affording easy access into the delightful town

The Cottage appeared to be clean but obviously hadn’t been dusty because we found a set of car/house keys on the shelf that did belong!

lots of cobwebs and dust behind the fridge and freezer in the utility area. Whilst it was comfortable with a huge big kitchen, but no dishwasher, no hairdryer, no complementary toiletries or welcome pack. The things you think as standard in this day and age. But a very nice central location.

Thoughtfully presented, clean, well equipped home.

Comfy beds, good shower. Good location for Skipton & Yorkshire Dales. We came for The Yorkshire Dales Mighty Hike but pleased we stayed a few extra days. Skipton is a thriving town which is lovely to see. Loved the canal too. Black Horse pub is dog friendly and does nice pub food. Skipton Woods, Pendle, Ilkley all within easy reach. Recommended and we would come again. Thank you.

the property was not what springs to mind when i imagine a cottage,very nice inside but the exterior was a bit offputing

Clear instructions on how to use induction oven and hob .

A very enjoyable stay at Bob's Cottage.

Excellently situated for easy access to Skipton and the surrounding area which is beautiful with many varied walks. The house is part-way up a steep hill but this was not a problem for us. A few minor notes for owner and others - it would be an added bonus to have a cafetiere in the property for coffee drinkers and perhaps a few more tea towels. Note - pets are allowed - which we didn't adequately take notice of on the listing (our fault) and so there is a doggy odour downstairs. Not over powering but if you are not a dog owner you would notice it.

I think communication could be improved, we had a query prior to the holiday to the holiday that didn't get replied to, there are some bits missing that others had mentioned and we were unsure how the property was to be left re stripped beds and how to report a leak in the downstairs toilet.

Also a lot of the information is out of date in the information book. But as none of these were deal breakers the cottage itself was amazing, very comfortable in a stunning location and we would love to visit again if in the area. Yes parking is interesting but we barely had to move the car there is so much to do nearby.

Bobs cottage is a good property with a few small issue that could do with resolving.

The property was generally clean, a dirty sock under one of the chairs and broken left over washing tabs in a box were the only omissions. Good facilities generally though there was an iron supplied without an ironing board. The living room wasn't really suitable for 4 people, one two person sofa and 3 chairs, though none of the chairs are particularly comfortable for sitting any length of time. The beds didn't have toppers, which would have been nice, though the bedsheets were very clean. A good location but just to be aware the street is used through the week by people working in Skipton and the street is soon full with cars, if you go out through the day there is a good chance you won't be able to park. At the end of the road is a nightclub and even on a Thursday there was some noise from people coming out of the night club, I would suspect Friday and Saturday may be noisier?

Nice and clean and surprisingly spacious although on a very steep road which wasn’t a problem for us but might be for some people as you can’t guarantee a parking space outside the house

Lovely cottage in a perfect location, clean and well equipped with everything you would need

Very relaxing , comfortable and homely holiday.

Very accessible to Skipton and lovely area. Would definitely return and recommend to others

Thanks for a great stay, the cottage was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and perfectly located for Skipton train station and the town.

We’ll be back!

A really lovely stay.

1 minute walk to the centre of Skipton which was so convenient. Cottage had everything we needed and was really cozy. Very spacious with a small area at the rear. We use Sykes all the time and this was one of our best. Would definitely recommend.

There is a steep hill to get up to the property if walking.

would be ok for most people but something to consider if you struggle to walk

Great cottage in a great location.

So easy to travel out of Skipton from here and the house is bang in the middle of Skipton so great for shops

Lovely little cottage, very clean and great location.

Facilties in general good but could do with a hair dryer as I didn't pack one as usually is provided and a lamp in sitting room would of been beneficial.

A gem of a cottage.

Spotlessly clean with lovely decor. Nice comfy beds. A lovely seating area outside to have a drink. So quiet and relaxing. Situated virtually in the centre of the beautiful town of Skipton just up from the bus station.The Road is quiet steep but not far to walk up.to the cottage. Although it hasn't got parking we managed to park outside of the cottage, after 5pm the road is clear. I would recommend. We had a fabulous few days. Weather was a bonus.

The property is a nice little place, very convenient for Skipton, the canal walks and shops at your fingertips, and easy access to other areas of Yorkshire.

Nicely laid out, with the added bonus of a small utility/boot room at the back and downstairs toilet. But it could do with a bit of a deep clean. The bathroom especially was very dusty, with a large amount of dust collected on the tiles, nothing a quick hoover round wouldn't fix. I took photos of the dust, so I'm happy to share with the owners if needed. The property could also benefit from some general maintenance and decorating freshening up. In the bedrooms, storage is very minimal, with the small rail in the second double bedroom at the rear hanging off the wall. During our stay it wasn't suitable or safe enough to hang any clothing on and there wasn't any other space to hang clothes so my son had to pretty much live out of a suitcase for the duration of our stay. The smallest single room has no hanging storage at all, and no real usable drawer space, the drawers were only small enough for underwear. There wasn't even a hook on the back of the door, which the other bedrooms had. Even this would have been better than nothing. Some hooks on the wall at the end of the bed, or a rail would be suitable for this smaller room. Also in this room, the bulb had gone in the lamp and we couldn't find any spare ones in the house. I feel like this should have been checked and changed before we arrived, so we couldn't use it during our stay. The hanging rail in the main bedroom had to be shared between all of us, which wasn't ideal for privacy of the guest staying in the large main bedroom. I would also suggest that bigger bath towels are provided as they weren't big enough to go around even the smallest person in our group. Or take your own! The shower could do with moving as it's positioned to the right-hand side of the bath, next to the shower screen, which leaks water onto the floor! The shower isn't easy to use with its positioning. In the kitchen, the integrated fridge was not working, and having to collect fridge items from the stand-alone fridge in the utility area was a bit of a pain. Not sure how long the fridge has been broken for, but long enough for the owners to have typed up a note and put it in the information folder. Parking wasn't a problem for us, it's a very steep hill so make sure your car handbrake is working! One other thing, while we were in during the day, someone arrived to do some work on we assume the step at the rear of the property. We weren't advised that this was happening, and while I was in the kitchen, this man suddenly appeared in the garden/courtyard, filling up a bucket from the outside tap! Whilst this wasn't so much of a problem, if we'd have been sat outside in the courtyard, this could have been very inconvenient. I understand that maintenance needs to be carried out and whilst he didn't enter the actual property, it was a bit of a shock to see a random man out the back. Otherwise, everything else made for a lovely stay.

Great location about 5 minutes walk to High St.

Parking was a bit of a problem due to non residents parking on road during the day. Both dustbins were full when we arrived so appeared previous occupants had not put them out to be emptied by the refuse collectors. Looks to have been recently refurbished and decorated. Bonus also of a downstairs toilet.

We had a lovely time at Bob's cottages only fault was the Ben needed a good clean we didn't use it at alkali the microwave oven inside needed cleaning we would certainly book Bob's cottage again Dorothy Lee

It was a great cottage clean fresh.

Everything you need.i would stay again. Put had issues with the shower had to put towels on the floor to stop the water. Because the shower water would hit the wall should be in the middle. And only used oven twice because it always set the smoke alarms off even with the doors open. The bins were full couldn't put rubbish out.and the wife fell back his uneven and needs fixing. Put its a lovely place.and would recommend it.

Lovely Little Cottage , But Inside is Big Rooms has shock me , Easily Car park at very deep steep hill , also it very nearer to Town, Nice Pubs , Shops, Market on road is brilliant Mon, We’d and Fri.

Sleep well and Gorgeous Weather while we stay at Skipton , Very Happy and Peaceful Stay, It is Worthy

A clean comfotable house with everything we needed for a pleasant stay.

Reasonably priced. Its just off the main shopping area and behind a nightclub and may be noisy on weekends. We stayed Monday to Friday and there was no noise. Outside Parking is on a first come basis but we had no problems with parking. It's near the canal which was a nice walk with the dog. It's a good touring base for Yorkshire

The outside area was not clean, and is need of some maintenance (gate rickety) and with a little bit of attention could be a pleasant area.

Although the property was clean overall, it just needed more attention to detail, including door and window recesses, the downstairs toilet was dusty and the cistern kept sticking. The vacuum cleaner is not fit for purpose, not powerful enough and the unit quickly got hot. Finally the bath towels are possibly the smallest we have ever seen. The location is great with easy access to the town, pubs, restaurants, and railway station.

A beautifully presented cottage, which was spotlessly clean and tidy.

Lots of pros eg very comfy beds, short walk to town, well stocked kitchen, good shower and cloakroom Cons, No drawers or wardrobes in any bedrooms only hanging rails, noise from the nightclub on the main street with windows open, extra warm duvet provided in a very hot summer.

The property was immaculate and a pleasure to stay in, however there were a couple of issues, 1.

The cutlery was unsuitable and needs replacing with stainless steel as unable to clean around the plastic handles. 2.The toilet seat in the bathroom is loose and ill fitting . The outside yard could do with brightening up. But overall it was a delightful stay.

A really convenient position for the town (most things just a short walk away).

Cottage had everything we needed and was clean and well presented. Skipton itself was a delight with independent shops and friendly people. Our only very minor niggle was not knowing how we should leave the property as this wasn't in the instruction folder. We stripped beds and left linen and towels on the floor.
