“I think this lovingly restored, 17th-century stone house provides a cozy base in Skipton. Its location puts guests steps away from the castle and the canal. I would recommend booking one of the larger rooms to take full advantage of an extended stay.”

The room was well-equipped. It had everything I needed. The location was very convenient to the town center (I appreciated how close it was to everything). The shower had good pressure.
Communication was a bit last minute. The room felt a little cramped. The description of the balcony was embellished (it was just the top of the stairs).
