Location
Ermysteds Cottage is a stone built, terraced cottage in the popular market town of Skipton on the southern edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. With one kingsize double bedroom and a bathroom, this cottage is ideal for a romantic break for two. The rest of the cottage contains a fitted kitchen and a sitting room with a dining area. Outside the cottage is a rear garden with a patio, outdoor furniture and a barbecue, secure bike storage and off road parking on a first come first served basis. Being so centrally located, Ermysteds Cottage is an ideal base for leaving the car behind and exploring all of Skipton and beyond.
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 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. Enjoy a canal trip on a traditional barge or visit Embsay Steam Railway, which has regular steam train excursions at the weekend and is only 1 mile away.
From heather-clad moors and limestone scars, to market towns and the steady pace of country life - the sublime Dales await you! Where else in Britain is it as satisfying to sit and do nothing as it is to explore the numerous pursuits on offer?
Reviews of Ermysteds Cottage
"All the reviews accurately describe this cottage, it's location to the amenities of Skipton etc. The stairs are very steep and not suitable to anyone infirm. The bathroom has no grab rails.The courtyard garden is in fact not isolated from the other terraced courtyards and is in fact a walk through to the others. The front looks nice in the photographs. What it doesn't show are the row of dustbins opposite the front door and window.. This again is shared by all in the terrace. Parking is limited to four cars on a first come basis and you can get hemmed in. Best to find off street parking nearby."

"We have just returned from a weeks stay in this lovely one bedroom cottage. It was spotlessly clean just the sort of place you want to return to after a day out walking. Very handy for train station and town centre and shops. We did not have a car but this was not a problem public transport very easy to get to other places for walking.. Our first time in Skipton but will be back and would stay in this again Large bed best sleep I have had for ages"

"De ligging van de cottage is op loopafstand van het centrum van Skipton. Voor wandelaars een uitstekende lokatie, er zijn veel wandelingen uitgezet in de buurt van Skipton. De cottage zelf is goed ingericht, de keuken is prima, badkamer eveneens, alsmede de slaapkamer. Veel ruimte. De woonkamer is weinig sfeervol en beetje klein. Maar dat vinden wij niet doorslaggevend. De achtertuin op het noorden is slechts een kleine binnenplaats zonder zon. Jammer dat er geen wifi is en vaak geen telefoonverbinding. Al met al is het een prima plek voor een goede vakantie."

"Lovely, cosy little cottage in a very convenient location. Information about the various gadgets/heating was very helpful, and there were lots of useful tips - both from the owners and from previous guests in the feedback book - on things to do in the area. The bed was so incredibly comfortable that it was a task getting up every morning."

"The cottage is well placed, well equipped, and everything is explained in a brochure ( heating etc ). It was spotlessly clean on arrival, and the owner called after a day to see if we needed anything. A welcome pack of milk, tea and Yorkshire biscuits would have been a nice touch, but we can only make the suggestion. The bed is super comfortable. Skipton is a great little town and a brilliant base from which to explore the dales. We had a lovely week, with some glorious days, but the wet ones were good too, with visits to Saltaire and Harrogate and we would return happily on another occasion."

"The cottage was in a good location only a ten minute walk to the town centre. The owner was very friendly and helpful answering any questions we had. The cottage was very cosy and had everything we needed. Skipton is a nice little town with plenty of small shops to explore. Harrogate is nearby. Grassington village is a lovely little village to visit. There is a vegetarian cafe/restaurant there called The Retreat which serves lovely snacks and meals at reasonable prices. Worth a visit if you are vegetarian. Would highly recommend it."
