Tucked away close to the town centre of Skipton with views over the canal, rests this charming little abode, Dray Cottage. Boasting character throughout, this semi-detached home welcomes couples and small families looking to break away from normal life and explore this scenic Yorkshire Dales. After a day of rambling in the Dales, relax in the comfortable sitting room beside the electric woodburning stove and sink into the sofa while you browse the Smart TV for a good film. In the kitchen, you will find modern appliances including a dishwasher, an electric oven and gas hob, fridge-freezer along with all the utensils and crockery needed to whip up a tasty feast.

Reviews
Excellent cottage in an excellent location. Host was cracking with a lovely welcome pack of bubbly, cake and the essentials on arrival. The cottage was well appointed, very clean and very comfortable. You cannot beat the location; accessible to everything glorious Skipton has to offer. If you are a craft beer fan it is the best place to be. I can only highly recommend to all.
