About this property
CRAVEN HOUSE, pet friendly, character holiday cottage in Skipton
This impressive and extremely spacious seven bedroom property is able to sleep up to 14 people and is located in the heart of Skipton town.
This impressive, stone-built Victorian house is ideally situated close to all amenities and is within a short walk of Skipton town centre. With seven bedrooms - able to sleep up to 14 people - and a well-equipped kitchen with an Aga-range cooker, this spacious end terrace property is a wonderful place for a family holiday. With four floors of accommodation, guests are guaranteed to enjoy their own space, whether travelling with family or friends. Other accommodation is composed of a utility room, dining room, living room with ten seats, and a basement games room, making this an ideal location for a large family gathering or a holiday for a group of friends wishing to explore this stunning part of the country.
Amenities: Gas central heating. Gas AGA, electric cooker, microwave, fridge, fridge/freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher, 2 x TVs & DVD players, Sky Q with Sports Package, Superfast Broadband, CD player, library of books/games. Fuel & power inc. in rent. Bed linen & towels inc. in rent. Cot & highchair on request. Unrestricted roadside parking. Lockable bike storage. Courtyard with additional front sitting area with garden furniture & BBQ. Two well-behaved dogs welcome. Sorry, no smoking. Shop & pub 3 mins walk. Note: Property is 10 yards from Keighley Road & subject to general road noise.
Region: From heather-clad moors and limestone scars, to market towns and the steady pace of country life - the sublime Dales await you! Where else in Britain is it as satisfying to sit and do nothing as it is to explore the numerous pursuits on offer?
Town: Well placed for visiting all that the Dales has to offer, the town of Skipton is also close to York, the Lake District and the West Coast. This lovely market town has plenty to offer visitors and boasts an ancient castle open to the public, a beautiful old parish church and a colourful market occupying the cobbled setts on either side of the high street. Visitors can enjoy a canal trip on a traditional barge or visit the Embsay Steam Railway, which offers regular steam train excursions throughout the weekend and is just a mile away. Golf, swimming, squash, tennis and snooker are all available close by and the region is known for its effective public transport.
