Well thought out accommodation

Very well maintained and equipped cottage in quiet cul-de-sac with easy access to town amenities. The owners have given a lot of thought to their visitors comfort. We really enjoyed our stay.

A spotlessly clean, well appointed cottage in a great location.

A spotlessly clean, well appointed cottage in a great location. Just returned from a short break in Skipton. Prospect Cottage was a perfect base. Unlike some reviewers, we were fortunate with parking, perhaps a benefit of a small car! We did however walk most of the time, leaving the car at the cottage. The town is a short walk from the cottage, with great views along the way. If you're looking for a base that gives you the benefits of a town, combined with easy access to country walks, or wish to be by the canal, this cottage is perfect.

Great location, easy walk down to Skipton and the canal.

Great location, easy walk down to Skipton and the canal. Property is what you expect for the price. And got a very polite email and lovely message from the owners. Parking is terrible however only flaw. And the neighbours across the road are very loud. Crashing into bins and moaning all the time about the parking which dampens the property. Nice little property
