Skipton, located in North Yorkshire, serves as the Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales and provides a picturesque base for exploring the stunning local countryside. With attractions like Bolton Abbey, Malham, the Three Peaks, and Ribblehead just a short drive away, visitors can also enjoy the town itself. Skipton offers a range of dining options, historic sites such as its 900-year-old castle, and leisurely walks along its charming cobbled streets and the Leeds-Liverpool canal.
Hoglet House, situated in a peaceful cul-de-sac yet only a three-minute walk from Skipton's lively High Street, offers a comfortable and well-equipped retreat. The open plan kitchen-dining-living space is a highlight, featuring modern amenities like two smart TVs, a large seven-hob cooker, and a coffee maker. Guests can also make use of an electric car charger, private off-street parking, and a garden shed for bike storage. The house is tastefully decorated with attention to detail, including hidden hedgehogs and hoglets waiting to be discovered.
During your stay at Hoglet House, you will have the entire property to yourself, with private off-road parking for one car and additional street parking available. Just a short walk from the historic Holy Trinity Church, guests may hear the occasional bellringing, with the main chorus taking place on Sunday mornings. Visitors are welcome to attend the church's practice sessions on Tuesday evenings at 7.30pm. The vacation home's rural location in Skipton provides easy access to local landmarks like Skipton Castle and Bolton Priory, as well as outdoor activities such as birdwatching and game walks at nearby attractions like Hesketh Farm Park and Thornton Hall Farm Country Park.
