Skyfell Reviews

This was our second stay at Skyfell and we all enjoyed it as much as we did before. If anything, we felt more at home this time. We all love the house, hot tub and the setting in this remote part of Yorkshire. It is perfect for a family getaway together. The house itself is clean, beautifully presented and has everything you need, especially a very well equipped kitchen. Finally, Jerry is on hand to help, he had everything ready for our arrival as requested! Thank you Jerry!
We stayed in Skyfell this time around and loved every minute of the holiday. The remoteness of the cottages along with zero light pollution gives the most breath taking sunsets and night sky I have ever seen. We have rebooked again for Christmas for the second year and look forward to our next visit. The kitchens are well equipped and the fire place and log burner are great. Jerry the property manager is always helpful! the cottages are all a perfect escape from the reality of work.
Home from home in a beautiful remote place . ... a place you can truly disconnect.
We stayed in Snave Cottage in January and had a wonderful time. So we thought it would be a great idea to book Skyfell for the whole family and spend some quality time with the grandchildren too. Skyfell and its location are amazing. The size of the house was perfect, the kitchen was very well equipped for large families. The grandchildren found some different to do everyday so the electric toys didnt get a look in. Our dogs were also in their element. We all had a wonderful half term holiday. Big thank you for the lovely welcome hamper and Jerry who ensured everything was spot on for our arrival and during the holiday. We will certainly be coming again

We had an amazing time at Skyfell, the house was absolutely perfect in a great location on the edge of the reservoir. The extra touches, the Christmas tree, decorations, the welcome pack, the free supply of logs made a big difference and very appreciated. The house is equipped to a high standard and the furnishings are very tasteful. There are 2 real fires which was lovely and the place was warm throughout our stay. Thank you to Gerry for his help and guidance, a very friendly man with lots of recommendations on what to do in the area.
Our Skyfell review: Our second visit to Grimwith Holiday cottages. Firs time was just in Skyfell with 7 of us, this time 11 of us had Skyfell and Snave cottage for New years week. Both are absolutely gorgeous properties in and amazing locations. Jerry was a great help and quickly and promptly helped with any queries. Will definitely visit again!
We absolutely LOVE Skyfell. It's the absolute best cottage on Sykes or anywhere else. It kills me to give a review as I want to keep it to ourselves!!!! Jerry is fantastic, friendly and super helpful. The Yorkshire Dales are amongst the most beautiful places on earth and Skyfell is in one of the most beautiful parts of the Dales. Just awesome.
Its our 2nd stay here in Skyfell, and it doesnt disappoint. The house is very clean, well equipped and furnished to a high standard, everything has been thought of and more. The beds are super comfy and the welcome basket is always very much appreciated. Skyfell sits on the edge of Grimwith reservoir and theres no noise or light pollution in this area. It was a perfect setting for our Border Collie who is nervous with fireworks over the bonfire period. Jerry the caretaker is on hand if you need anything and makes sure you have plenty of supplys to keep the fires burning inside, and for the Swedish hot tub. We absolutely love our stays here and are always somber on leaving we know we will be back next year and already look forward to our next visit. If you want a peaceful retreat with plenty of walks and wildlife, this is the place to be. Our highest recommendation!
Rebecca
The most wonderful property in a gorgeous setting. We were there for a long weekend for a family celebration. The rooms are all incredible, finished to the best standard, views out all the windows breathtaking! Jerry the host was on hand for anything we needed including trying to help us sort a flat tyre! Cant think of a better place for a wonderful weekend away! Will we be back!
Lauren
The perfect place to escape from everyday life! I knew from photos, that it was going to be picturesque but even then the surroundings were so much more magnificent than I expected. From the drive through the Dales, down the track to Grimwith Houses, looking out of any window of the property, walkingrunning around the reservoir route or driving to any other the little picturesque villages nearby. Its truly breathtaking. The listing doesn't tell you just how peaceful and tranquil the location is, or how many flocks of geese fly over, or the waterfalls and wildlife around the reservoir or even how close you get to the water just on the rocks by the side of the house skimming stones available too. The house is beautiful and upon arrival, seemed to never end. It's a cosy place to go and enjoy doing absolutely nothing. The hottub is an absolute bonus and our children played for hours in it. The copper bath is an added touch of luxury. Jerry is a lovely bloke and happy to talk through the history of the three properties on site, and help with anything else. I could have happily stayed in the secluded bubble for much longer. Thank you Jerry. We will return!
