Dog Friendly Skipton Holiday Cottages

What our customers say about their holidays

• Helen - Verified booking

  The property is a nice little place, very convenient for Skipton, the canal walks and shops at your fingertips, and easy access to other areas of Yorkshire.

  Nicely laid out, with the added bonus of a small utility/boot room at the back and downstairs toilet. But it could do with a bit of a deep clean. The bathroom especially was very dusty, with a large amount of dust collected on the tiles, nothing a quick hoover round wouldn't fix. I took photos of the dust, so I'm happy to share with the owners if needed. The property could also benefit from some general maintenance and decorating freshening up. In the bedrooms, storage is very minimal, with the small rail in the second double bedroom at the rear hanging off the wall. During our stay it wasn't suitable or safe enough to hang any clothing on and there wasn't any other space to hang clothes so my son had to pretty much live out of a suitcase for the duration of our stay. The smallest single room has no hanging storage at all, and no real usable drawer space, the drawers were only small enough for underwear. There wasn't even a hook on the back of the door, which the other bedrooms had. Even this would have been better than nothing. Some hooks on the wall at the end of the bed, or a rail would be suitable for this smaller room. Also in this room, the bulb had gone in the lamp and we couldn't find any spare ones in the house. I feel like this should have been checked and changed before we arrived, so we couldn't use it during our stay. The hanging rail in the main bedroom had to be shared between all of us, which wasn't ideal for privacy of the guest staying in the large main bedroom. I would also suggest that bigger bath towels are provided as they weren't big enough to go around even the smallest person in our group. Or take your own! The shower could do with moving as it's positioned to the right-hand side of the bath, next to the shower screen, which leaks water onto the floor! The shower isn't easy to use with its positioning. In the kitchen, the integrated fridge was not working, and having to collect fridge items from the stand-alone fridge in the utility area was a bit of a pain. Not sure how long the fridge has been broken for, but long enough for the owners to have typed up a note and put it in the information folder. Parking wasn't a problem for us, it's a very steep hill so make sure your car handbrake is working! One other thing, while we were in during the day, someone arrived to do some work on we assume the step at the rear of the property. We weren't advised that this was happening, and while I was in the kitchen, this man suddenly appeared in the garden/courtyard, filling up a bucket from the outside tap! Whilst this wasn't so much of a problem, if we'd have been sat outside in the courtyard, this could have been very inconvenient. I understand that maintenance needs to be carried out and whilst he didn't enter the actual property, it was a bit of a shock to see a random man out the back. Otherwise, everything else made for a lovely stay.

  Lovely comfortable beds, good white goods in kitchen (dishwasher, washing machine, oven, fridge and freezer), good range of crockery, cutlery and pans.

  Smart TV with ability for prime, Netflix, but sometimes TV unresponsive to remote control which was frustrating. Wi-Fi great and I managed to work remotely which was a great help. Great log burner and thank you for complementary wood and coal, a life saver as some of the room heaters didn’t work properly (the one in the super king room didn’t come on at all, the upstairs bathroom one didn’t work at all, the one in the king room was inconsistent,either cool or bakingly hot!) Towels very fluffy but bedding, although comfortable didn’t feel particularly freshly laundered. Disappointing that parking was not directly outside the property, although only a short walk behind on a main road. Owners very responsive to questions, although I felt they were irritated in their response when I asked if there was the option for a change of bedding for the super king (as it didn’t smell very fresh).

  Yes - previous guests comments would be enlightening. Why is it not possible to comment directly on your web site? My comments in summary The accommodation is lovely, the outside space is not dog secure, because it is shared with the owner that lives in the adjoining property. The external lighting for the car park area was non functioning . It's November, dark and raining, and the steps are 3 and a half - so the last step is irregular - just right for tripping up in the dark. The dishwasher not working seems to be a recurring problem. The little notes telling you what to do are rather "school teacher" Finally, the note to strip the bed on your exit - for safety reasons, I guess covid? is now just wrong. we have stayed in many venues and never been asked to strip the beds.

  T'Lasses Cottage provided everything we needed for our stay. The beds are very comfortable and the showers excellent. The property was spotlessly clean throughout on arrival. The owners, who live nearby, provided plenty of useful information about the property, surrounding area and attractions. The cottage is set in a quiet hamlet, close to the canal and and an excellent pub. We'd recommend turning left out of the close and using the path (about 100yds) down to the canal to avoid walking along a narrow road with no footpath. It's also a nice walk. The cottage is well positioned for visiting many sights in and around the Yorkshire Dales without having to go too far. We had a wonderful 2 weeks and would love to return in the future.
