Everything we hoped for.
Pros:

Great location and a lovely room, the small kitchen was well equipped and the room was nicely furnished with nice period details. Comfortable bed and the roll top bath was a treat.

Cons:

The stairs. We might have requested a lower room had we realised but tbh we managed fine once the bags were in. There is no designated parking either but, again, we managed to get on street parking nearby each day so , not a deal breaker.

Exceptional, will remember forever
Pros:

Everything! It’s a really special place. The room was spacious, extremely clean and has everything we could need with our 3 year old. The decor was beautiful, it felt really luxurious. We met Greg and Lisa who were so friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. Skeldale House is one of a kind and I will be recommending to anyone looking to visit the beautiful area.

Cons:

Nothing! 10/10

I want to live here.
Pros:

Absolutely gorgeous flat, lovely quiet village.

Cons:

Only problems the heating was unfathomable. Was sent instructions for it in an email before arrival but the links to the actual instructional videos were removed so couldn't see anything. Changing the temperature on the thermostat didn't seem to work it just turns itself back on. Note in the guide said to use the controls on the individual radiators but the one in the living room didn't work, and the bedroom kept coming back on. Woke up in the morning to a boiling hot room.

Also no extractor in the kitchen. Even with the window open I set the smoke alarm off cooking a steak.

Wonderful
Pros:

We booked because of the All Creatures Great and Small connection but this was more like Grand interior Design Masters. The studio was immaculately and very tastefully decorated. A mixture of state of the art fixtures and fittings with art deco furniture, great views of the Dales and big fluffy towels. Would definitely book again

Cons:

It was all good

Excellent location, thoughtfully furnished, clean and tidy
Pros:

Although we didn't meet "staff' at the property they were most helpful on the end of a text with helpful details. The property is ideally placed for walking and wandering. We loved staying there and so did Wilson our dog. The property is thoughtfully furnished and the generous biscuits and milk were very welcome when we arrived. We will stay there again.
