About 2 The Croft

Located on the outskirts of Stirton near Skipton, North Yorkshire is 2 The Croft, a wonderful, six-bedroom home, inviting ten guests. Enjoying countryside views and a prime position within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, whilst offering flexible sleeping arrangements, a private garden with hot tub, and a contemporary interior, 2 The Croft makes the ideal base for a rural escape.

Benefit from three off-road parking spaces, before heading through the quirky pink door of the home with your personal belongings in tow. Be welcomed into the stylish open-plan living space with a fully-equipped kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances, a sleek breakfast bar, a lofty dining table, plush seating, a Smart TV, and a woodburning stove; the space also enjoys direct views out to the kitchen, making it the perfect place to dine, socialise, and make memories.

If you'd prefer to dine with the sunlight above, head outdoors and enjoy an alfresco affair upon the patio, before heading down to the stream at the bottom of the garden, relaxing in the summerhouse with a TV, or for an indulgent soak in the hot tub. On the ground floor you'll also locate a snug, a utility/pantry, and a study, offering plenty of space for your group to unwind.

When sleep calls, select between six well-appointed bedrooms, three of which rest on the ground floor, a double with a contemporary en-suite and dressing room and two single rooms, ideal for children. A king-size with en-suite, a double with en-suite, and a further double can be found upstairs, all complete with stylish accessories and serviced by a shower room.

If you can tear yourself away from your abode, head into Skipton to tour the Craven Museum & Gallery, practise your swing at the Skipton Golf Club, or stroll around the Skipton Castle Woods, before grabbing a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants dotted across the market town. The Yorkshire Dales Food & Drink Festival is held nearby, recommended to plan into your itinerary if you're a foodie, whilst trips to Grassington offer further attractions to explore, including the Grassington Folk Museum, Linton Falls, and the breath-taking Threshfield Quarry.

2 The Croft Reviews

Hilary
We had a wonderful stay and the house was just as we expected in fact, it was even lovelier than we hoped! Holly was very helpful and called me to let me know that the patio was rather icy just before we arrived and when we couldn't find a cork screw, she organised for one to be dropped off, which was very much appreciated. The kitchen has just about everything in it that you need to cook a meal, with lots of crockery and glasses etc, including plastic cups for the hot tub. The house was spotless with very comfortable beds and luxurious bed linen. We would definitely be more than happy to come back again.
Stephen
Plenty of space for the 6 adults in our party. Property well maintained & very clean. Found it a little strange that the large TV was in the small snug & a quite small one in the main seating area. Having stayed numerous times in different rented properties over the years this was the first one with no Welcome pack. Would definitely recommend this property to friends & family, lovely quiet location only 1.5 miles 5 mins by car into Skipton.
The property was amazing, we had a really good time in family. Very cozy place, beds are comfortable and plenty of room for everyone. There was no essentials hand soap, cooking oil.. which has been mentioned on previous comments but not amended. There were no bin bags either but they solved this as soon as we notified it so they are attentive and responding to feed back. Totally recommended!
Samantha
8 of us stayed in this property from 13th 20th July this year and cannot find the words to describe what an amazing time we had. The garden and summer house are so tranquil and relaxing with a view of the beautiful countryside my partner actually proposed with this being the back ground on our first day. The house is huge, all facilities were of a high standard, the beds were so comfy I could have stayed there all week. It's only a 40 minute walk or 5 minute drive into town. We had a call to prewarn us that the hot tub maintance man and the window cleaner were coming, so we were kept up to date the entire trip. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure
The Croft was a beautifully clean holiday home. It was ideally placed close to Skipton and surrounding areas.Have to say we were disappointed with the lack of instructions for the electric oven being used to a gas oven at home but we didn't let it spoil our overall enjoyment.
A great stay at this lovely property. A rural setting but so close to Skipton and lots to do in the area. Modern and spacious, everyone loved it and weve already booked again for next year. Thanks so much!!
Alison
A beautiful property, spotlessly clean and well presented. Plenty of room for a large family get together with a lovely big dining table and a bathroom each. Great garden and hot tub. Near enough to Skipton to get a couple of takeaway meals and visit the supermarket. Convenient for childrens playground and walks in the Dales.
This cottage is lovely and comfortable as described. There was an issue with the water quality caused by domestic water being supplied from natural source which was quite discoloured at times after rain storms. We bought bottled water for drinking. We were surprised to find a lack of what could be regarded as kitchen essentials ie foil, cling film, cooking oil etc. there was not enough dishwasher tabs, bin liners etc supplied and no information at all about recycling. The toilet at the top of the stairs often runs with water after flushing and needs attention. Although there are lovely wine glasses, it could really do with beer glasses and small spirit glasses too.
Jeremy
Ideally situated, a lovely property, everything has been done to a very high standard as are the facilities. Lovely and spacious . Beds are very comfortable . immaculately clean. overall a beautiful property and we would highly recommend.
Lisa-marie
We stayed at 2 The Croft as a family of 7 and it was perfect. The Croft is beautiful and spacious and the location is great. We did not want to leave at the end of our stay. We had all we needed in the property, the beds were very comfortable and everyone from the young to the old were catered for. Thank you for a truly wonderful stay.
Rachel
Fabulous property perfect for a family gettogether. It would have been helpful to have the instructions for the heating but it didnt spoil our stay!
Beautiful property, so well appointed, perfect for our family weekend. Thank you
Stuart
Great place high standard of accommodation. Responsive hosts and quiet and tranquil setting. Only issue is WiFi signal to main TV in snug is intermittent. Other than that great place well laid out with ample accommodation for large groups.
William
Lovely house, very clean, lovely warm hot tub. Would stay again.
We loved the high tech house and enjoyed ourrainy time there. It was very spacious, warm, comfortable and well equipped although we could have done with more crockery to make dishwasher use more efficient. We slowly learned how to use all the electronics heating, lighting, TV but more instructions would have been useful. The hamlet was a delight and there was lots to do in the area for those over 70, those under 8, and those in between.
Our family enjoyed their week at this holiday home. The house on the whole was spacious and comfortable with lots of natural light and quality appliances.The area is beautiful and Skipton is a very pleasant town to visit with regular outdoor markets and plenty of places to eat. The one problem we experienced was with the large TV in the snug, which had no, or at best, intermitant internet access.
Lorraine
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cottage. It felt very homely. Lots of space for 9 of us. We had everything we needed for a weeks stay. Kitchen was very well equipped, beds are very comfortable. All Cleaned to a very high standard. The garden is beautiful and it was lovely to sit and watch all the wildlife.
Susann
Overall very good A few issues which could of made it better No fire lighter matches logs for the log burner. Hot tub no canopy or any facilities to hang towels etc Temperature was not hot enough definitely not 36 degrees TV Ariel is a must, it was very frustrating to use. Otherwise lovely stay
It was a fantastic property. Very high standard. Beautiful garden and the house is superb. We did find it a bit odd that the hottub has a CCTV camera right next to it. Not enough small glasses, and no plastic glassescups for kids.
Barbara
Lovely cottage. 9 of us went only 9 cups more would have been better so we didnt have to wash up all the time . Glasses very large smaller ones would have been nice as well . Television could not understand how to work , and only 8 chairs instead of 9 round table . Overall lovely cottage would come back again .
Lovely property but for the price paid we felt a bit short changed on the overall experience Spending nearly a thousand pounds and still no milk, bread, basic welcome pack, needs soaps upstairs, tea towels utensils for the bbq etc etc etc TVs are a mystery how to operate at times and just frustrating when you have small children wanting to watch something Superb quality of finish but would return if these small improvements were made P. S. neighbour next door very friendly and helpful

Bowland Wild Boar Park - PR3 2QT
about 20 Miles
Head for the Bowland Wild Boar park and we don't think you will be disappointed.  A popular attraction in Preston there is so much to do for the whole family.  From picnics, walks and wildlife to experiencing feeding the animals you are sure to have a memorable day out.  Also popular is the kids tractor play area.  For rest and relaxation the cafe is ideal serving hot drinks and snacks with a lovely view over the pond and wildlife feeding station.  The Forest of Bowland has been declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Fountains Abbey - HG4 3DY
about 21 Miles
This is an outstanding world heritage site located close to Ripon in the North Yorkshire area. Nature lovers will be in their element with an abundance of wide open spaces to explore and there are special guided tours for families.  Some of the highlights may include seeing wild deer and bats during your visit.  The grounds are fantastic to wander round but there is also an Elizabethan Mansion, Victorian Church, Georgian Water Garden and the finest example of Cistercian Abbey ruins in the country - Well worth a visit!
Lightwater Valley - HG4 3HT
about 24 Miles
Situated in the Ripon area of North Yorkshire this popular theme park makes a fantastic day out for the whole family.  The more daring will love the big and thrilling rides such as Raptor Attack, The Ultimate and Trauma Tower.  For the little ones there are some excellent attractions such as Flying Camels, Dodgems and a Magic Wheel.  Toddlers will like the Dragon Boats and the Lightwater Express amongst other things. There are over 40 rides and attractions in total and we think this is excellent value for money too.  If you book your tickets in advance online you can save even more money and beat the queues.
Big Sheep - EX39 5AP

This is a recommended day out for families with young children visiting the Bedale area of Yorkshire.  Visit the farm and receive a warm welcome as well as a guided tour.  You will have the chance to bottle feed the lambs, bath a pig and handle some of the smaller animals.  Kids will love the big sandpit and the outdoor play area. There is also a cafe and indoor play area for when the weather is not on your side.
