Cottage Review:  

Pros

Easy walking distance to Skipton town centre.

Good bus and train services from Skipton.

Supermarket around the corner.

Lots of things to see and do in and around the area.

Cons

Directly onto a busy and noisy road.

On road parking free 24/7 but spaces can be hard to come by.

Front 'garden' suffers from traffic fumes and noise also not enough room for everyone to sit together anyway. Just two benches and one seemed a bit iffy looking at the way the seat flexed.

Back courtyard enclosed by high walls but enough seating for everyone.

House needs a good dose of tlc fresh paint, modern carpets etc.

Rugs in bathroom - yuk - unhygienic, and mouldy shower base mastic on top floor.

Top floor double - wet carpet, damp, musty smell, narrow wardrobe will only hang clothes sideways.

One bedroom on second floor has NO wardrobe.

Kitchen needs sorting out. It is supposedly well equipped but -

Only one sharp knife

Toaster will only toast 2 slices at a time as other slots are broken

Except for dinner plates there is not enough of the same crockery or wine glasses for 14

Chipped bowls and side plates not pretty.

Greasy oven trays - why?

Dirty, in fact filthy, bread knife - the toothed edge was totally clogged

A mish mash of unnecessary and unusable glassware.
