Canal Side

We had a lovely stay at canal side Skipton.

Wonderful apartment easy to find, only 6 minutes walk from railway station and 4 minutes walk to town centre. Good pubs and a lovely fish restaurant.

This was a perfect retreat.

Beautifully clean and comfortable. All the necessary equipment and facilities. The secure parking was perfect and the prime location meant we only used the car once during our stay. We very much hope to return as there is much more of the Dales to enjoy.

Initial problem with gate code not being updated on advisory email but soon cleared up by owners, fantastic property in delightful setting, watching passing boaters and wildlife.

Close to town centre with many good restaurants and pubs. Will welcome the arrival of patio chairs and table for when we visit next.

This is an absolute gem of a property.

Lovely setting, secure parking and spotlessly clean. The shower was fabulous and the bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Would definitely return.

Beautiful cottage in a brilliant location no complaints would highly recommend.

Stayed here for a mid-week break in June.

Brilliant location being right on the canal and only a short walk from the centre of Skipton and the Railway Station. On site parking was a bonus. Apartment was very clean and had all the facilities we needed. Only slight negative is there isn't much storage space for clothes and the bathroom is a tad tight. Our suggestions for an even better stay would be (a) bigger bath towels (b) a patio set so you could enjoy the canal side aspect (there was a table and one chair but the chair was not that comfortable - however that didn't bother us because it rained most of the week :( ). Enjoyed exploring Yorkshire from this Skipton base and made good use of the trains to get to some interesting destinations.

We had a great holiday at the canal side accommodation, quality fixtures and fittings in a very central location, didn't need the car with so much to see and do in a thriving town, and the train station a few minutes walk away ,we travelled the settle Carlisle railway,the best in Britain.

Great location with short walk into town.

Handy parking space. Very well presented and spotlessly clean. Stairs are quite steep and no handrail. Not much storage space on the upper level for hanging clothes just a small rail. Shower was very good standard with lots of hot water. Great option for a short stay.

Had a lovely stay in Canal Street, Skipton the accommodation was excellent and the location was perfect.

Easy to get into the Town Centre, the markets and Skipton Castle. The Train and Bus Stations where nearby also a good choice of Supermarkets - Morrisons, Tesco and B&M within walking distance of the accommodaton.

An excellent stay at Canal Side, excellent location and so handy for walks into Skipton.

Clean, comfortable and well-equipped, it had everything we needed. We had a lovely short break, and when we were not out and about we felt very comfortable here. Would highly recommend.

The property was comfortable, clean, had everything we needed and in a great location.

Excellent apartment .

Position and parking very good.Very clean and quiet. Just two minor points,a rail on wall up the stairs would be helpful to avoid having to hold onto the glass panel leaving finger marks and the continuous musty smell in the bath room.

Great little place, good location just a couple of minutes walk from centre .

could not have been any cleaner, nice and quiet we had a great time

.

Immaculate inside and great location.

Great Location, Town Centre 5 mins walk away, Lots of really nice walks very close by and places to visit.

Would like to have given 5 star rating but just felt that there were certain things that could have been better. We were there for a full week over Christmas and had only one bath towel each for the whole week, we could have taken our own but it did say this was provided and would have expected at least 2 each, not great if you shower most days. Also we had only 3 cups, appreciate there was only two of us, can only assume there was 4 originally and one had been broken and not replaced. Also the TV stopped working on Christmas Day and we had issues with it going on and off constantly afterwards so that was not great. We were also in bed on our last night and it appears the apartment next door can control your blinds which they did a couple of times on our last night(obviously unknowingly) and the blind that provides privacy to the bedroom area went up whilst we were in bed. We also found the stairs a bit scarey as there was no actual handrail and you had to hold on to the glass so we did not feel we could confidently head up and downstairs whenever we needed the bathroom. The apartment also has no opening windows so would imagine in the Summer this could be an issue. Overall we had a great week in Skipton but just wanted to point out the things we had issues with although appreciate these may not be issues to everyone. Parking is good but would not say it was necessarily secure as would not liked to have tackled closing the gates each and every time.

Great apartment.

Superb location next to the canal and 5 minutes walk into town and numerous great shops and pubs. The on site parking is a big bonus. Not massive but plenty of space for 2 people.

Had a great stay.

The accommodation has been done to a really high standard. Everything lovely and new, well equipped, great shower and real bonus of one site parking.Well situated along the canal - just a few minutes walk into town. Will definitely recommend to family and friends and will book again when visiting Skipton again.

A great spot!

We absolutely loved the accommodation! Some lovely touches like beautiful furnishings, a lot of thought has gone into furnishing the space with beautiful pieces. It was a great place to base ourselves for exploring Skipton!

Superbly renovated property, fully equipped for a comfortable stay.

Spotlessly clean, very quiet location yet 2 minute walk to town centre. Large parking area for your car, would not hesitate to book again and highly recommend

A brand new property, we'd had a few misgivings as we hadn't seen any photos before booking but Sarah in bookings assured me it would be lovely & it was!

Not our usual type of property (we've been using Sykes for 18 years) but we loved it. Ideal to be able to walk along the canal to Skipton in fact some days we didn't use the car. Everything has been done to a high specification & we wish the owner great success in the future. Thank you.

Excellent accommodation next to the canal.

Very well equipped kitchen with tea, coffee, milk and biscuits provided on arrival. Loved watching the canal boats go by every day. The bed was very comfortable and you can also watch the boats go by when you're in the bedroom. Parking space on site which is very handy. Short walk into town which has lots of shops, restaurants and pubs. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a quiet holiday.
