Flat Cap Cottage

This was our second stay at Flat Cap cottage.

It’s so well situated in the heart of Skipton. Shops, markets and lots of other facilities ( pubs !!) all so handy. Beautiful countryside around the town and many places to visit. Having parking right outside if the cottage is a real bonus. The owners left us a greeting card containing contact numbers if needed, very helpful.

Our 3rd time in Skipton but 1st stay at Flat Cap Cottage.

It’s so close to the high street of this lovely market town though very quiet at night. Allocated parking is so rare and convenient with mostly on street parking. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay - thank you Ruth & Andrew.

This is our second visit to Flat Cap Cottage.

It is very clean, cosy and well-equipped, in a superb and peaceful location for exploring Skipton, and the surrounding area. The owners are very kind and helpful. We hope to have many more visits to this lovely cottage.

Very comfortable property, in a great location behind Skipton high street.

Good base if you want to explore the Dales. I would definitely recommend this property

Lovely cottage in the heart of Skipton.

It has everything that you could what in the way of equipment in the kitchen for a family gathering or celebration. The weather was not great when we were there, but the cottage was warm and cosy. We very much enjoyed our return visit.

Wonderful property!

Clean and spotless. Minutes away from the centre of Skipton and all that it has to offer. Both bedrooms are lovely with comfortable beds and ample storage space. Beds are comfy and good quality bed linen is used. The bath towels provided are bath sheet sized so enough to wrap around you. Quiet area. Nothing not to like about this space. Great communication from the owners too. If ever we're in Skipton again, this will be our first choice for accommodation.

This is a lovely cottage in the centre of Skipton where you can park right outside the property.

This is our third visit to this cottage and was for my wife's birthday and the gift was much appreciated. The weather could have been better but the log burner kept us warm. We are lo forward to our September visit.

FlatCap is an amazing wee spot situated just off the high street and around the corner from the Canal Quarter (brilliant food and beers in the Narrowboat pub).

Lovely wee kitchen with spacious fridge and freezer, which is what we needed as we booked for 28nights. The kitchen has a washer dryer, with setting 10 being the shortest cycle but it still felt like it went on for a while. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking equipment making life a lot easier too. Living room was cosy and the fire was a god send as the temperatures dropped low during January. The TV is hooked up to the WiFi which was generally very fast. There a few plug sockets that are impossible to plug into due to the size of the skirting boards but plenty about to use. The bedrooms are comfy and well presented. We only used the main bedroom and the bed was super comfortable. The bathroom shower is a rainfall shower but avoid soaking the floor, simply tilt the shower screen in a little to the wall. We found that the shower wasn’t the hottest but soon twigged if we ran the cold water in the sink the shower could be as hot as you could ever want. The bath is a little small for me at 6ft 1” but nice to have an option, especially on the longer stay. The hosts of the cottage are first class and ever so helpful, not that we need them, but nice to know that they are only a text away.

What a perfect holiday cottage.

We've stayed in the street before where there are lots of cottages being rented but this is by far the best we've stayed at. The Christmas touches were beautiful. Just the lighting in the lounge/diner needed to be brighter but that's probably a matter of opinion. Looking to book again in the spring/summertime, thank you Flat Cap cottage team x

Very comfortable and quiet.

The kitchen is well equiped. Handy for town.

A lovely cottage in an absolute ideal location.

This property truly felt like a home away from home. The home was just as listed, clean, comfortable and the welcome package was so much appreciated

Lovely property - located within 1 min of high street, great facilities within cottage and good communication with owners

It was lovely to return and relax in Skipton along from the canal and to see the neighbours again who remembered us.

This is a good base to walk along the Leeds Liverpool Canal as well as Bolton Abbey grounds, Skipton woods and parks. The welcome pack was very welcome and the property is warm and very central and it is very handy to have the car parked at the property.

Stayed for a week with a friend so used both bedrooms.

Both comfortable, beds especially. Missing a mirror for hair drying and makeup in twin room and maybe a chair to sit on or place clothed on. Otherwise it was all great

An excellent comfortable property in a great location.

Everything we wanted for a week.

Lovely cottage, perfect location for our holiday and activities.

Very clean and comfortable with parking a bonus. A few minutes walk in any direction brings you to all that Skipton has to offer. We would stay again and highly recommend you do too!

We had a great stay at Flat Cap Cottage.

It has very comfortable beds and is very cosy. It is very close to all amenities. I would definitely recommend this this lovely cottage, and I may well make a return visit .

Lovely cottsge highly recommend had a great stay lovely location

5 star !

! Ruth and Andrew were amazingly helpful hosts to us. We struggled with the washing machine,but that's because we're old!

One of the best cottages we have stayed in for cleanliness, comfort, a quiet location but minutes from the high street, our own parking space and a friendly welcome / contact.

We’d stay here again and really hope that we will.

Cottage was very comfortable, clean and had all the equipment needed for a self catering break.

It was very convenient and handy to have allocated parking. The welcome back of cake, wine and milk was a lovely gesture. We would certainly book Flat Cap cottage again

We booked this charming cosy cottage as attending a Christmas family wedding at Bolton Abbey estate.

The welcome pack information was very helpful with directions especially the parking space photo. On arrival, tired after a long journey the Christmas tree was so welcoming, plus mince pies, mulled wine & milk a thoughtful gesture. Great location close to amenities, yet quiet & peaceful. A perfect holiday cottage.

Flat cap cottage is a (very) clean and comfortable place to stay.

It is very quiet.so if that’s what you want & need Flat cap cottage is for you.

Really liked this property.

Very clean and tidy. Very welcoming and helpful hosts. Brilliant location for town and canal.

We had a lovely stay in Flat Cap Cottage.

Everything we could have possibly needed was provided and we were so surprised and grateful for the welcome tray with treats for us.

A lovely cottage in the centre of town but very quiet.

We loved it and would definitely stay again. So clean and welcoming. Very sympathetically modernised Cosy sitting at night by the fire with a good book. We will definitely visit again. Thank you Ruth and Andrew.

This is a well equipped cosy cottage with very friendly neighbours who make you welcome.

It is close to town with car park on site. We enjoyed it so much that we have booked for next year.

Second stay for us .

Flat caps never lets us down . It has everything you need. Cosy cottage with a wood burner. You couldn’t tell you were in the heart of skipton so peaceful and the town is a 30 second walk away and the canal 1 min away So clean ! You can tell the owners take pride in their lovely cottage . Already booked for next year

We had a really lovely stay, thank you.

The cottage was well located and had everything we needed for a week's holiday, mostly cooking for ourselves. There were lots of extra goodies and plenty of towels and soap etc. The only thing we could add to the kitchen would be a colander! It was great to have parking outside, and we only used the car once during the week. The buses and trains are cheaper and easier than driving, and we loved being able to walk through the ginnels onto the High Street within seconds.

A lovely holiday cottage in the perfect location for all the local amenities plus being on the doorstep of the dales a perfect base to explore.

Very clean and with everything to hand making it a home away from home.

Flat Cap cottage is a comfortable well appointed accommodation.

The location is excellent in the centre of town. The only negative we found was with the shower. Lots of water ended up on the bathroom floor. A simple shower curtain would avoid this happening.

The cottage was ideally situated very close to all the facilities Skipton has to offer.

We could walk everywhere easily so no need to drive. The cottage was spotlessly clean. The Tassimo machine was a nice touch. Also the welcome pack was great. The only criticisms we have is that the sofa was well worn and not too comfortable and the bench seats around the table were very hard. Maybe bench cushions would help? The bathroom would benefit from a new (maybe lower) shower head as it sprayed onto the bath edge and floor. Overall we will certainly book this cottage again. Had a really great few days. ❤️

Flat Cap Cottage was a homely house in an 'oasis' of a location only 30 seconds walk from the High Street.

It had a private parking space out the front which was great for our motorbike. We were very pleased with the cleanliness and the welcome pack on our arrival. The neighbours were also very friendly and welcoming. We would stay there again without hesitation.

This is a lovely cottage.

The central location with private parking was perfect. We decided not to use the car for the week and got around on foot and public transport. There was a very generous welcome pack, and the cottage was very clean. The beds were comfortable. We had a great holiday and would recommend it. There was just one problem, unfortunately the sofa in the lounge is worn out and very uncomfortable, so much so that my husband has come home with backache. It was such a shame because other than the sofa I would give it 5 stars.

We loved Flat Cap Cottage.

It was spotlessly clean, cosy and comfortable. Its location couldn't have been better...so quiet and peaceful and yet just 1 minute to walk to the High Street. It was also a huge advantage having a parking space at the door. There is just one thing we would recommend...a small round table and a couple of stools in the bay window in the kitchen would be great. It would be nice to have your meal there looking out of the window. We would definitely recommend the cottage and hope to stay there again. Thank you also to the owner for providing milk, wine, cake etc for our arrival.

What a gem of a cottage, so clean and placed in a beautiful town and just a few steps away from all the amenities one end and the lovely canal the other end.

We will certainly visit again, thank you for your kind welcome, the updates provided when we were travelling to you at the start of our holiday and for the lovely cake, wine and provisions left to start us off.

Delightful, quiet spot in the heart of Skipton …would recommend to a couple looking to have all the amenities and convenience of being in town and also have easy access to explore the area.

We had a fabulous stay in Flat Cap Cottage.

It had everything we could possibly need, it was clean, comfortable and in a fantastic location. The host was very helpful. We will definately be back. Thank you!

Maybe some sort of shoe rack would be helpful to keep them off the carpets.

Also a non stick mat for the bath/shower. Otherwise everything fine and as advertised

Cottage was lovely warm and clean.

Well supplied. For me the settee was too low and uncomfortable. My wife found it ok. Could have done with a mat by kitchen door for wet days. A small table in the bay window for sunny days would be a bonus. Other than that found everything excellent and of good quality. Would love to stay again. Thank you. George and Sylvia

We had a fab time in Skipton at this lovely property.

The location is perfect and the property was very clean. Communication was great from the start and during our stay. Parking was a great bonus too. We would deffo stay again. Thank you

A beautifully presented cottage that had everything we needed for a family of 4.

Perfect location for exploring the local area (Skipton is well placed) and exploring longer day trips to York for example. The many pubs, restaurants are all within walking distance as are quite a few activities including a park which can be reached within 10 mins walk via the canal… super!

Fabulous cottage in a great location,with parking for one car.

Everything provided to make your stay enjoyable and easy access to Skipton shops, pubs and restaurants. We have stayed in Skipton many times but first time at "Flat Cap Cottage". We would certainly stay here again.

Our second visit to Flat Cap cottage and it does not disappoint.

Well worth a stay, helps so much having a parking space to. The owners are so lovely and approachable. Would def recommend this cottage. Linda and George.

Fabulous cottage with all the facilities you could want.

TV channels a bit random (fully acknowledged) so if you have a Netflix or other such account bring your details with you so you can log in! Very thoughtful welcome pack which was much appreciated, especially the Prosecco as we were staying over New Year! The location was superb, extremely close to the centre and all the shops, bars and restaurants. Some of the streets were a little dark getting back after an evening out, I’d recommend bringing a torch. I’d happily stay there again and highly recommend it.

Flat Cap Cottage is nicely decorated and well kept.

It was very clean and a beautiful and cosy retreat to warm up by the fire after a walk. The welcome pack has been generous and the management property thoughtful and went the extra mile to make our stay extra special. We loved the Christmas decorations and will definitely recommend and repeat

A lovely comfortable cottage in a very quiet location but with easy access to everything Skipton has to offer.

Definitely hope to return.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Flat Cap Cottage.

It has been beautifully refurbished, and has everything you need, including parking which is a great bonus in Skipton. The cottage is tucked away in a very peaceful cul-de-sac, yet only yards away from the bustling high street in one direction and the beautiful canal walks in the other. We would highly recommend this cottage and hope to return there soon.

Ruth and Andrew have done a wonderful job with Flat Caps.

A luxury stay for us . The welcoming card The pint of milk in fridge the bottle of wine the sticky pudding cake and reading the comments book. We are hikers out all day and and coming home after all our long days out to Flat Cap was like heaven . Just one suggestion a Slow cooker would be lovely

Just perfect!

Near to everything - shops cafes bus station and train station. Ideal location to explore further afield.

We had a lovely time , cottage was beautiful and very comfortable.

Four of us, two couples, stayed at Flat Cap for a week.

We were all delighted with the property. As others have said, the position of the cottage is superb, being right in the heart of the town but still very peaceful and quiet and having it's own dedicated parking space just outside the door. It's a new rental property and it's been very tastefully decorated and furnished. It's comfortable and warm and felt cosy on the two cold evenings when we had the fire on. It's meticulously clean and it felt very welcoming when we first walked in. The kitchen is very well equipped for a rental property and we cooked our own evening meal on three occasions and there was everything we needed (and all of it new!). The other evenings we walked out the door and tried three different pubs and restaurants within a few minutes walk away. It was great that nobody had to drive. This was a lovely cottage for a week's holiday in Yorkshire.

We had a lovely stay at Flatcap cottage.

The house was clean and comfortable with stylish furnishings. Everything we needed was provided. The house was so handy for the Main Street where there are plenty of Restaurants and coffee shops. We visited Skipton castle which was easy to walk to from the house. We also booked a trip on a canal boat with afternoon tea which was very relaxing. Again this was within walking distance. The hosts were very pleasant and helpful We would definitely recommend this as a perfect place to stay. Susan

This is wonderful Cottage, so comfortable, so clean, it’s right in the middle of Skipton yet so quiet and with the bonus of a parking space.

Would highly recommend this Cottage and the owners could not do enough for us during our stay. We will definitely be booking this Cottage again. Linda and George.

Flat cap cottage is a beautiful cottage,very clean ,loved the lovely welcome pack was just the icing on the cake .

Very quite also so near to the high street .would definitely recommend will be returning again xx

We really enjoyed our holiday.

the cottage was in an excellent position to get to all the amenities of Skipton and had everything we needed.We would come back again.

Absolutely beautiful Cottage.

Perfect if you wish to just chill. Perfect as a base when venturing further knowing you had a very cosy cottage to go back to after a day of sightseeing. Walking distance to the town with every shop you desire along with the quirky places for souvenirs. Beautiful walks along the canal and around the castle. Lovely pubs and restaurants. The pie shop is a must! Fully equipped Cottage of all essentials and eventualities and more. Planning on revisiting !

A perfectly situated cottage, both in location for access to the town of Skipton, and for larger access to the Yorkshire Dales.

The cottage was immaculate and the welcome pack was greatly appreciated. We will definitely return!

A lovely little cottage in very good clean condition.

Prime position in the middle of Skipton. We enjoyed our stay very much. A good wecome pack was appreciated.

The cottage was clean and comfortable and was is a great place to explore Skipton.

This is the third stay in Skipton and this was the accommodation by far. Skipton is a lovely area lots to see and do. Pups and cafes serve good food.

Very well equiped & spotlessly clean cottage.

Thoughtful "Welcome Pack" in the kitchen on our arrival. Situated in the heart of Skipton so everywhere was easily walkable for restaurants/castle/boat trips/market. The Dales are only 30min road trip away too.
