Skipbridge Farm Cottages I had a wonderful stay at Skipbridge Farm Cottages. The property is located in a beautiful, scenic area, perfect for a relaxing countryside escape. The owner was a lovely and hospitable person, always willing to help with anything we needed. During a spell of hot weather, they kindly provided a fan, which made a big difference. The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with essentials like tea sachets, coffee, butter, and jam — a very welcoming touch.

A truly peaceful and pleasant stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind in a charming rural setting. Thank you for the warm hospitality!

The farm itself is wonderful with a range of cottages, glamping, and a wonderful selection of friendly farm animals. It was a pleasure to walk around the farm with our dog. The cottage itself was very well done, a lovely mix of rustic charm and modern decor. The kitchen was well kitted out with everything you need to cook, and the Denby crockery is a very nice touch. Staff were friendly and responsive to any issues and questions we had. The farm is well situated within an easy drive from York, but it was nice to come back to the calm of the country. The cottage did back onto the main road but this does quieten down at night. Really nice to have the picnic bench area outside the cottage, and the stars were beautiful at night.

Nothing major really, just wish that the bed in the bigger room wasn't against the wall as climbing over someone to get to the toilet in the middle of the night isn't ideal! Also several items in the kitchen needed rewashing but not a big deal when you can tell how much has gone into the accommodation.

Beautiful cottage in pretty surroundings but the lack of communication with owner made things difficult as no directions or key info sent & had to chase this up via phone an hour before leaving. A few minor issues in cottage. Toilet kept flushing & wouldn't stop a few times. There was a strange line on picture on TV on all channels & a few long cobwebs on ceiling above fireplace. Apart from that a comfortable place despite being on busy main road the traffic eased to allow a peaceful nights sleep on a comfy bed with crisp cotton bed linen. Nice grounds to walk around & parking directly outside.

Communication with owner could be improved

Very clean and peaceful

WiFi. - advertised but never worked. Rang the owner to ask for correct password as advertised in our welcome package but never got a reply. Had to chase this up when I eventually found someone who worked there during the weekend. Taxi company advertised in the welcome noted very rude and didn’t went to help out during our stay. I would recommend not putting there details out for customers any longer. 4x4 parked all weekend right at the entrance to our accommodation. We were staying with our child and struggled to squeeze past with our pram and luggage etc.

Stunning farm cottage with everything our family needed for a lovely stay in Yorkshire! House was clean and had lots of thoughtful details throughout like tea and biscuits together with Denby cups. We all had a good night sleep as the beds were very comfortable. In the morning me and my daughter got up and the farmer introduced us to the animals which included donkeys, alpacas and ponies as well as goats and very friendly cats, one of which came into our house to be petted! Getting to York was less than 20 minutes drive away so it was ideal for us.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. The location was ideal - around 20 mins in the car to York city centre, and a petrol station with a shop just 5 mins down the road. The cottages themselves were quiet and peaceful, perfect for a restful stay. The check-in/out process was super seamless and easy too. Our cottage was clean, comfy and had everything we needed - we'll definitely be returning for future trips to York!

The only minor thing I would say is that the bed could have been a little comfier - although it wasn't enough to spoil our stay and we still had a great night's sleep!

Absolutely stunning. We were lucky we managed to book during a very sunny weekend and I can’t fault the property at all. It was absolutely beautiful. Beds were comfy and the property was nice and warm. Beautiful decor and attention to detail. Kitchen had everything we needed. Big ratings to the property cat as well that made our stay incredibly memorable, kept trying to sneak into our living room and taking over the sofa😂 we named her smudge, she was a very good girl. Would definitely come again, hopefully for a longer stay!

Nothing :)

The grounds were lovely for a walk after a long drive. Enjoyed all the animals especially the cat who joined us for the stroll up to the Alpacas and back. The sunset was amazing and we could see why it was a good location for weddings. Location was chosen for distance to our friend and we ate at the local Chinese Sweet Basil only 1 minute drive (reservation required). The cottage was perfect in size for 3 of us and the decor was spot on. It was a lovely place to relax after a long drive and bring able to light a real fire and sit around it was a treat.

Proximity to the main road. It was really busy making the in/out a bit hairy. That's no fault of the property though. Personal taste on the mattress it was too soft and I didn't sleep well.

Very private. Enjoyed being able to come and go as we pleased . Quite spacious living room . Prompt response to any queries from the owners. Adequate drawers and wardrobe space Good value for money considering we had the whole cottage to ourselves.

Very squeaky bed frame in the front bedroom, this was however resolved by moving into the second bedroom on the second night. Very small double beds pushed against the wall in both rooms so if the person sleeping against the wall had to get up in the night, they had to climb over the other person, which wasn’t at all appreciated coupled with the noise of the bed frame in the front bedroom. There were quite a few cobwebs in the living room around the window frame and the top of the extractor fan in the kitchen is very dusty. However neither of these points affected our stay.

Clean, comfortable, great location to get between knaresborough and York, easy to find, plenty of parking. Lovely decor, modern facilities and central heating. All you need is milk and food supplies, because bedding and towels are provided with tea coffee and sugar. We didn’t see anyone as the arrangement is that the key was in the front door and we just had to leave it back in the door before we left. The TV stations are not very stable but the tv accommodates Netflix is you have an account and there is a dvd player.
