Shepherds Lodge

About this property

Shepherds Lodge is a well-positioned semi-detached house resting in the market town of Skipton, North Yorkshire, known as the Gateway to the Dales, making it a great choice for families or friends looking to explore both town amenities and the surrounding Yorkshire countryside. Step inside to find a welcoming living/dining room with a light and airy atmosphere and wood panelled walls, where guests can spend time together after a day out, whether enjoying meals around the table or unwinding in front of the Smart TV. The kitchen offers a good selection of appliances for preparing meals, providing everything needed for a self-catered stay.

Upstairs, the property hosts three plush bedrooms, comprising a king-size, a twin, and a bunk room suitable for children, offering flexible sleeping arrangements. The bathroom is fitted with a luxury shower. Outside, the enclosed rear garden is set over multiple levels and features a patio area with furniture, creating a pleasant space for sitting out or enjoying meals in the fresh air, complemented by a glass of fizz. A shop and pub are within easy walking distance, while the centre of Skipton offers a range of independent shops, cafés, and restaurants. Visit Skipton Castle, explore the cobbled high street with its regular market, or take a canal walk along the Leeds to Liverpool Canal.

Nearby Grassington offers charming streets, independent shops and access to scenic walks, while Settle provides access to the Yorkshire Three Peaks and the Settle-Carlisle Railway. For a day out, explore Bolton Abbey with its riverside walks, Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway, or Malham Cove with its dramatic limestone formations. Shepherds Lodge provides a well-placed base for discovering Skipton and the wider Yorkshire Dales.

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!
