Lock View - Nordic Spa in Gargrave | Must-See West Yorkshire Hot Tub Cottage

About Lock View - Nordic Spa

Lock View is a stylish two-storey lodge perched right beside the Leeds-Liverpool Canal in Gargrave, North Yorkshire. This waterside retreat gives you front-row seats to watch narrowboats navigate the lock - better than telly! Perfect position for exploring the Yorkshire Dales with Skipton just 4 miles away.

The location is bloody brilliant. Step outside and you're on the canal towpath that doubles as part of the Pennine Way. Walk into Gargrave village in minutes where you'll find proper Yorkshire pubs and a fish shop that guests rave about. After a day's hiking or sightseeing, soak your tired bits in your private hot tub while watching boats drift by with a glass of something cold.

Two luxurious bedrooms sleep four guests in supreme comfort. Both feature super king-size beds (one can be twins) and each has its own freestanding bath plus en-suite shower room. Downstairs is open plan with a well-equipped kitchen-diner. The whole place comes with fancy extras including Sky TV with Sports package, sauna and even a cold plunge pool for the brave!

Nearby attractions include Skipton Castle (4 miles, 10 mins), Malham Cove's limestone amphitheatre (8 miles, 18 mins), Bolton Abbey Estate (12 miles, 25 mins) and the market town of Grassington (12 miles, 25 mins).

Lock View is ideal for couples wanting a romantic break or small families needing quality time. The hot tub alone is worth booking for. Add the canal-side setting and you've got somewhere truly special.

Lock View - Nordic Spa Reviews

Hayley

Beautiful peaceful location. We really enjoyed walking the dog along canal and watching the narrow boats. Lovely chip shop and coop within a few minutes walk. Hot tub and sauna were a huge hit and the chill tub gave us a few laughs!! This house is comfortable and well equipped with everything you need. The glass floor in the living room is a nice feature which the kids enjoyed seeing us in the kitchen. We would definitely stay here again.

Patricia

A lovely location would recommend

Very good Xmas stay. Clean and tidy accommodation. Loved the hottub and sauna. Good size bedrooms. A little bit more compact than I thought as the main picture is actually 2 properties but plenty big enough for 4 and dog. Good location. Village gas good pubs and excellent fish shop. Would recommend

This was our 2nd stay at this property and it was a pleasure. High standards in every way.

David H

Very nice property well appointed and in a good location. Already re booked for next year!

Nicola

Had a really good stay at Lock View . Great house to stay in .

We had a lovely week, 2 adults and my daughters 11&13 and our dog. Plenty to do in the area and we loved watching the boats go through the lock! House spotlessly clean and well looked after and we will definitely return. Thank you!

Stayed with another couple, no 5 Lock View was a fabulous cottage with all we could have wanted. A beautiful view from the loungeupstairs bedroom across the canal and rolling countryside, so peaceful. We walked to Skipton along the canal path at a leisurely pace in around 1 hour 40. The taxi back was about 15 though there are also buses and a train service. Gargrave village itself has a lot to offer and we enjoyed our meals at both Bollywood Indian and Mason's Arms, also enjoying drinks in the beer garden at the Old Swan. We hadn't booked to eat at either place and were lucky to be fitted in so would recommend booking to be sure. Our hosts were very responsive an helpful.

Pamela

A delightful property, with every amenity you could need. It couldn't be cleaner and was very comfortable. We stayed for a week and the hottub and sauna were cleaned during our stay. We were 4 adults and 1 dog. The location is perfect with stunning views over the canal and countryside but a short stroll to the village centre with several pubs, shops and eateries. The only point to note for dog owners is that the garden has no grass, so no wee opportunities in the garden, but with the canal bank just outside its not much of an issue to take your dog out. Our dog loved lying by the Juliet balcony upstairs watching everyone walking along the towpath.

The beds were super comfy , sky tv was a bonus. , the hot tub was fun , the bath with a view was fun . The owners were very responsive and helpful . Downstairs the wi fi and tv reception for ITV were not as good , but that was Fine as my son moved his ps4 upstairs .

Such a lovely place we really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be returning, a short drive away from Skipton and Grassington the canal is a lovely walk too. Beds were very comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. There are a couple of pubs serving food a short walk into Gargrave.

Great location right next to the canal with excellent facilities. Would wholeheartedly recommend this place.

We had a lovely break away and enjoyed the hot tub. Owner was very friendly and only happy to help and lock view is in a beautiful position for canal plenty of nature and boats and village had more than you needed.

Philip

What a lovely house in a great position

Elizabeth

Really enjoyed our stay at Lock view. House was lovely and had everything needed for a comfortable stay.

Great location and Village

My wife and I and our dog Max stayed at this lovely holiday cottage in August 2022. The weather was fabulous and the cottage was modern, clean and conveniently located. We loved the hot tub but didn't use the sauna as it was hot enough outside. We loved the village, tried all of the pubs which were great especially the Mason arms. Nice walks on your door step or along the canal. Very relaxing stay.

When arriving at the house we were pleasantly surprised. The house was in an excellent condition and a very central position for visiting Yorkshire. Would recommend a stay there.

Fantastic break

Lovely cottage, amazing views watching the barges go up and down the canal, little luxury touches, hot tub, sauna all well used! V comfortable beds for a good nights sleep after walking! Bollywood cottage and Masons Arms highly recommended! We did Malham Cove, Bolton Abbey, Ingleton Falls! Just a lovely relaxing fun break! Would deffo return!

Richard

A lovely property in a beautiful location. We had a fantastic stay and the property provided everything we needed. We definitely made the most of the hot tub, sauna and village pubs. Great location, just under 2hrs walk along the canal into Skipton and with other great walks on your doorstep. We also visited Ingleton Waterfalls Trail, just over half an hours drive away and Malham only 20 minutes drive away. Would recommend The Masons Arms pub for Sunday roast!

Alison

Just returned from a 3 night stay at the cottage. We both had a fantastic time , great location , beautiful views. The cottage was very clean, had everything we needed. The hot was fabulous in the snow and added that little bit of luxury to our stay. Gorgeous clean , comfortable cottage , with huge beds , incredable deep baths , all amenities nothing was left out , will definitely be back and will recommend this place to friends

Loved our stay at Lock View. Beautiful house, in an ideal location, that has everything you need for a relaxing few days away. We will definitely be booking up again in the future.

Were a family of 3 2 adults & 1 child, age 10. The location and facilities of this property are just what the Dr ordered!. Weve walked & explored the wider areas and eaten in the village every evening, somewhere different each time and all exceptional glad we found The Masons Arms. The hot tub and sauna were wonderful. The maintenance of the property is generally very good, although theres a few small things that need a bit of attention before they tire further and to ensure the luxurious feel is maintained. Thank you for our stay, we would definitely return.

Catherine

Fantastic property in a brilliant location. Owners very helpful and friendly. Will definitely be visiting again.

Darren

What a lovely stay, the house is fantastic, very clean, it is very well ... What a lovely stay, the house is fantastic, very clean, it is very well equipped, it has a fantastic living room furnished with high end furniture throughout the house, the hot tub is fantastic, we used it every day

I think this may be a policy of Sykes but there were too many 'negatives' in the information book. The notes weren't so much about guests' enjoyment as rules about what you shouldn't do and the leaving arrangements! This was our first booking with Sykes.

Everything went smoothly from the pickup of the key through to the end of our stay. The location is wonderful and we had a great time.

Stephen

Excellent accommodation with even most of the little things provided. There was even a coffee pod machine and pods! Only very minor point was the ground floor ensuite has no holder for the toilet roll. Will certainly return another time.

Richard

Very nicely done out and well appointed place. Close to plenty of attractions and local pubs and shops. Would stay again.

Really enjoyed our stay at Lock view. House was lovely and had everything needed for a comfortable stay.

Fantastic house, had every thing you could ask for & more. Hot tub & sauna was fantastic. Lovely village with good pubs & places to eat. Would definitely recommend.

Adrian

A loverly property right next to the canal, so easy for walking and relaxing.

Sandra

When arriving at the house we were pleasantly surprised. The house was in an excellent condition and a very central position for visiting Yorkshire. Would recommend a stay there.

Robert

A really lovely property ideal for couples, very well equipped and a great location. The host met us and explained everything.

Elaine

Stayed here for a week with friends. Its a beautiful house with lovely views of the canal. All rooms were large and comfortable with everything we needed for a relaxing break. Hot tub and sauna were a luxurious addition although along with the patio furniture there was little room left for the dog to play, however there was some great walks right from the doorstep. The owners were on hand with any questions we had but not intrusive. Would most definitely return here.

What a fantastic property, had everything we needed and more. Tastefully furnished and decorated to a very high standard. Hot tub and sauna were the icing on the cake! Owners very friendly and helpful, and welcome bottle of wine and chocolates was a nice touch. Couldnt fault anything, best property we have ever stayed in. Thank you Kyle, Nicola and Mark.

We had a realy great week at lock view. Ideally situated for loverly walks along the canal,and a great base to swing Yorkshire dales.

Excellent well equipped property and would be happy to return. Superb hot tub sauna. Marked the accuracy mark down a notch because a lock view is only accurate if one leans out of the Juliet balcony otherwise coal tip view is regrettably more accurate b Gargrave is indeed a beautiful old village. But Lock view cottage is well north of the village, north indeed of the notatall attractive ex Council estate.

Karensa

We had a fantastic stay in this amazing property. Its absolutely beautiful inside. Very clean,very tasteful. Sauna and hot tub were wonderful. Really helpful and friendly owners. Its in a lovely village with loads of day trips nearby. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful home with everything you need. Can highly recommend this place as we have been 3 times, lovely views over the canal and countryside. Perfect place to relax enjoy the hot tub and sauna and you have the Dales to explore on the doorstep.
