Town: 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!

Fabulous traditional house in Yorkshire

Very comfortable property with lots of lovely features. Well furnished and excellent beds. Hosts live a short distance away on the same property and are delightful. Various animals to be seen on the farm. Lovely welcome pack on arrival. Good WiFi. Easy to get to a range of landmarks and activities in the surrounding area. Excellent meals at The Bull (pub) 10 mins away, Skipton has shopping and lots of other eateries 20 mins away. Would recommend for anyone wanting a relaxed, bucolic Yorkshire experience. Would stay there again. Thanks Nancy and Brendan!
