The Swans Nest Lock View Reviews

A beautiful house in a beautiful location. It has everything you could need to make your stay perfect. The village is a short walk away with some lovely pubs.
We had a lovely stay at The Swans Nest Lock View. It had everything we wanted spotlessly clean and appointed to a very high standard. The bed and pillows were so comfortable. The kitchen had all the appliances we could have asked for. It was all really lovely, we didnt want to leave! Nicola and Kyle were very welcoming. There was a bottle of wine, a box of chocolates, a bottle of fresh milk in the fridge and plenty of tea bags! We would definitely like to return.
Louise
Lovely cottage for a comfortable stay with friends. Large spacious bedrooms, tastefully decorated and high end finishing. The hot tub was a great addition to our stay. Great location for pubs, a local shop for supplies and a range of walks.
Jonathan
Lovely cottage in great location
Stephen
A good base with easy access to shops and restaurants. I found mark who met us at the property to be a really nice person to chat with.
The Swans Nest is an lovely modern holiday property, well built, beautifully furnished and ideally situated next to the Leeds Liverpool canal. A 2 minute walk from the village of Gargrave with a number of local walks. A walk to Skipton via the canal towpath is a little over 4 miles from The Swans Nest. A great base for those that enjoy the countryside and walking.
We stayed during Aug bank holiday 2 couples and used it as a base location for 2 action packed days. The only downside was due to our itinerary we didn't have a plethora of time to enjoy the cottage and all it had to offer in room bathtubs, watching TV etc, meaning we did not get full value for our money as it is not the cheapest. Problem solved now as we have booked it again for my hubbies 40th next year for a week for just the 2 of us to really take advantage of everything the cottage and the village has to offer, and I am already so excited. If you are thinking of booking it just do it, it's absolute BLISS
Jessica
Gorgeous property, great hosts! When we arrived we were greeted by the owners who showed us around. The property was very clean and beautifully decorated. The hot tub was a great bonus especially after a long day exploring for local area. The property is in a great location, very quiet area and beautifully situated overlooking the canal. We would definitely recommend and hope to return in the future.
Robert
What a wonderful place to stay. It was immaculate. The beds were extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend this property. Well done. Bob, Judy and Louise
Absolutely gorgeous property, exceeded expectations. Views, location, facilities were spot on. The hot tub was a bonus and a short stroll into Gargrave for a lovely Indian and Sunday roast made the trip a huge success. Beautifully decorated.
Cristy
Lovely house everything immaculate would definitely recommend and visit again! Views of the canal and hot tub extra bonus!
Andrew
Great property fitted to a very high standard, loved the hot tub! Location was great on the canal, and a short walk to the village, shops, pubs, chip shop all good. Perfect to explore the Yorkshire Dales, and nearby Skipton. Contact and check in was easy with Kyle, and a nice welcome gift of chocolates and Prosecco. Highly recommend.
Kathleen
Amazing place . Loved watching the canal boats going by along with the swan and ducklings . Property was excellent couldnt find a fault at all . Beds enormous and comfy . Everything in kitchen you could want. So private and peaceful.
Lovely cottage , absolutely immaculate. Lovely area and walks nearby Would definetely book again
Carole
Fantastic first class propertybeautifully decorated and everything you need for a luxurious break
Denise
A beautiful property with a large balcony overlooking the canal, we could watch the wildlife and the boats travelling by. Loved the hot tub too, only five minutes to the local amenities, The Masons Arms produced lovely meals and the local fish and chip shop is a must. Kyle and Nichola should be proud of what they have achieved.
This property is absolutely stunning. Everything is finished to a very high qualtity and everything you could possibly need is provided. The location is perfect, right on the canal bank and very central for all the attractions that are available in this stunning part of the country. The owners were very helpful and the welcome pack was generous.
Terence
An extremely well appointed cottage. The layout is ideal for 2 couples with 1 bedroom at ground level and the other on the 2nd floor. The setting is delightful looking over the Yorkshire Dales and the Leeds Liverpool Canal. The birdlife is great including herons, swans, and all the usual birds but the ellusive kingfisher is a bonus. Gargrave is a delightful village with everything we needed. The River Aire running through the village gives it the extra wow.
Absolutely beautiful property setting in a lovely welcoming village. The house has everything you need and more, very relaxing few days was had. Would highly recommend if you want a lovely chill out, its also a great base for getting out and seeing places

Bowland Wild Boar Park - PR3 2QT
about 18 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 23 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 25 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
about 29 Miles
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.
