Laurel Bank Cottage, Laurel Bank House, Shires Lane, Embsay, North Yorkshire, BD23 6RR

location great, have stayed there before about 7 years ago, don't think any thing has been done to the property since it was turned into a rental. the bathrooms not good, patched up with silicone everywhere, the towels as old has the house, same with the decor, the bedding, all old and well worn. sleeps 10, but if 10 want to sit in lounge together, all squeezed together on 3 settees. would not go back until we know it has been all updated.

A group of 10 of us stayed here. Lovely scenic surroundings. 2 mile walk into Skipton. Two local pubs. Very friendly. Local steam train to Bolton Abbey took you back in time. Lots around to see.

Fab accommodation had everything we needed. Roomy throughout. Better than the advertised pictures. Spotless and nicely decorated. All beds were comfy. Showers and bath were newly fitted. Well equipped kitchen for our group cooking our own meals. 3 draw freezer. Large tall fridge. Dish washer and washer/dryer. Lots of pots and pans. T.towels. Etc. Take your own towe

Stayed with a large group of friends, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The cottage has everything you'd need, excellently equipped, great views and a lovely location in a very pretty village just a couple of miles from Skipton. Great communal living room, spacious rooms, well equipped kitchen, nice touches like games and books to read, massive telly if needed. Wooden floors can be cold on the feet so take slippers and don't stroke the ginger cat as it bites, but otherwise a perfect place to stay. We will be returning I am sure.

The house was great. The owners had left us tea bags, milk etc. There was things like tinfoil, extra blankets, soap, leaflets for local activities. The owners were also very quiet and unobtrusive. There is a large kitchen and several bedrooms (one room has bunk beds and 2 have a double bed and a single bed so if you have the total 12 people staying it could result in some interesting sleeping arrangements). the living room is also huge but not enough setting for 12 people to all watch the TV at the same time without having to sit on the floor.
