Ash Grove

You enter Ash Grove directly from a narrow cobbled lane into a kitchen and dining space with high ceilings and slate flooring that runs the length of the ground floor. The kitchen has a gas range, dishwasher and microwave; the dining room opens off it with room for the whole group to eat together. Beyond, the living room catches light from a bay window and has sofas and a wood burner for cooler evenings.

The first floor holds two bedrooms—one with a king bed, one with two singles—plus the bathroom with a shower over the bath. A third bedroom with a king bed is on the second floor. Bed linen, towels, Wi-Fi and heating are all included. One car can park on site, and there is an enclosed rear courtyard with garden furniture as well as a small front garden; a larger shared garden lies beyond. One well-behaved pet can stay for free.

Skipton's high street is a short walk away. The Yorkshire Dales, York and the southern edge of the Lake District are within reasonable reach for day trips. No smoking inside the property.
