Skipton is known as the “Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales”. It has an award‑winning High Street, a thriving market (Mon, Wed, Fri & Sat), a well‑preserved medieval castle and plenty of independent shops, cafes, traditional pubs, micro‑breweries, wine bars and restaurants.
It’s an excellent base for walking or cycling in the Dales. Bike hire is available locally and there are many popular routes nearby, including Skipton Woods, Bolton Abbey, Barden Moor, Malham and the Yorkshire Three Peaks.
Skipton train station offers services on the Settle–Carlisle line and to Leeds and Morecambe, making day trips easy. Harrogate, Haworth & Brontë Country, Grassington, Ilkley and the Forest of Bowland are all within reach for days out.
Guests have full private use of the entire house, as well as the back patio area during their stay.
