Skyfell in Grimwith near Appletreewick | Must-See Yorkshire Hot Tub Cottage

About Skyfell

Skyfell is a luxurious stone cottage with breathtaking panoramic views of Grimwith Reservoir. Located in a secluded spot in the Yorkshire Dales, this accommodation is perfect for anyone wanting to escape the chaos of everyday life. No streetlights, no noise - just you and nature's spectacular show.

The location is genuinely remote. Zero light pollution means you'll see stars you didn't know existed. The sunsets here are ridiculous - like someone cranked the saturation up to maximum. Wildlife spotting opportunities abound and the surrounding landscape offers walks that'll make your Instagram followers hate you. And after a day of exploring? That hot tub is waiting for you.

Skyfell sleeps 7 guests across 4 bedrooms - including a super-king with a copper bath (because nothing says "I'm fancy" like bathing in metal), two king-size rooms and a single. The kitchen-diner features a woodburning stove, while the sitting room has another for double the coziness. There's also a wetroom and a ground-floor shower room.

Nearby attractions include hiking in the Yorkshire Dales National Park (0 miles, you're in it), Skipton Castle (15 miles, 30 minutes), Bolton Abbey (12 miles, 25 minutes) and Grassington's shops and pubs (5.4 miles, 15 minutes).

Skyfell is perfect for families or friends who want quality time together without distractions. Disconnect to reconnect - though there is WiFi if you absolutely must post those sunset pics.

Dominika

A Perfect Weekend Getaway! We had a fantastic weekend at this beautiful house. The place was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, beautiful and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The area is stunningpeaceful, scenic, and perfect for unwinding. Whether we were enjoying the views, relaxing indoors, or exploring nearby attractions, everything exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet and cozy retreat!

Richard

The property is fabulous, we were lucky to have viewed it previously when we stayed at Snave barn the adjacent property and we decided then we would definitely be back to stay at Skyfell. The views are breathtaking and its such a tranquil place. Our dogs absolutely loved it too. We will be back again and thanks to Jerry who couldnt be more friendly or helpful.

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

Home from home in a beautiful remote place . ... a place you can truly disconnect.

Andrea

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 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!

We booked all 3 properties together for a getaway with friends and had the best stay on Grimwith Reservoir. The properties themselves were spotless on arrival, and exactly as described on the listing. Jerry was very helpful and always on hand if we had any questions or wanted advice, and also got the hot tubs nice and hot for our arrival. We had everything we needed already there meaning we only had to bring clothes, food and drink, and the welcome hamper was also a nice touch. The location itself is amazing with a nice walking route around the reservoir and also longer routes to nearby villages where we found some great local pubs, shops and takeaways. This is my second time visiting this property and definitely wont be the last. It really does cater for all and cannot recommend it enough!

Rebecca

We had a lovely stay in this amazing place. Jerry who managed the property gave very clear advice and was on hand if required it wasnt. This property has everything you need for a luxurious stay.

Skyfell is in an absolutely fantastic area, beautiful views from every direction. We had a wonderful family weekend. The house was beautiful and the welcome hamper was one of the best that weve received. The kitchen is very well stocked, plates, glasses, etc. maybe the only thing that could be a little better is the seating area outside but saying that there is enough seats to sit on, just think more could be made of the outside area, but this certainly did not detract from a wonderful stay and we would definitely rebook.

This is our 2nd stay at Skyfell and Im sure it wont be our last. Nestled in the picturesque Yorkshire Dales, this property boasts a serene location overlooking a tranquil reservoir, offering guests a truly idyllic retreat. The stunning natural surroundings and peaceful ambiance make this an exceptional choice for those seeking a restorative This property offers a truly breathtaking setting next to a tranquil reservoir. The property is a charming stone cottage. Inside is a cosy, welcoming atmosphere, with exposed beams and thoughtful modern amenities that make for an incredibly comfortable stay. But the true highlight is the view from nearly every room, you're treated to a panoramic vista of the reservoir and hills beyond, a soothing sight to wake up to each morning. This property is a true gem, offering the perfect blend of rustic charm and serene natural beauty that makes for an idyllic retreat in the Yorkshire Dales. Special thanks to Jerry with his prompt response to our queries.

Richard

What an incredible property! Everything was perfect from being met at the door by the owner to talk us through the woodfired hot tub, to the incredibly generous welcome hamper including Prosecco, from the impeccable cleanliness and decor inside the property, to the stunning views and surrounding area outside, my friends and I were blown away from arrival to departure.

Thank you for such lovely accommodation with everything we need. Jerry was very helpful and answered any question we had. Would definitely recommend.

Matthew

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage in a great location. Everything was thought of and Hayley and Jerry got back to any questions quickly. As with other reviews be careful with the bumps on the way down to the cottage.

Stacey

Such a beautiful location and a stunning property. Very spacious. Reservoir views from 3 sides of the house. The road coming towards the house is very very bumpy and uneven take it slow! But this was utterly gorgeous

From arrival to the departure, there is nothing I can fault. This was our 2nd time staying here. This time, we hired all 3 houses as a family get together. The welcome packs in each house were amazing, with everything you needed. Jerry was great, calling to check we had all got in ok, and there is we needed anything during our stay. Thankyou again, we will be back soon!

Great property, highly recommend

Really nice and well kept property and would 100% visit again. The house is great and so are the soundings. The owners were also really great, leaving us a welcome basket which includes prosecco and responded quickly when messaged with a question about the hot tub. Thank you

Amazing

We rented this property for my husbands 60th and we weren't disappointed. This cottage is absolutely amazing. Every room has its own touch of luxury. Master bedroom is out of this world. Kitchen is equipped with your every need. Hot tub was heated by logs which plenty are provided and 6 people can fit in comfortably. Cottage is located right on the edge of reservoir and every room had an amazing view. We all were disappointed we had to leave. I would definitely return. If your staying for a week I would maybe arrange to get your shopping dropped off when you arrive as the road to the cottage isn't the best to be travelling every day up and down on unless you have a 4x4 but this didn't put us off at all as its well worth it.

Vaughan-luke

Wow, what a fantastic break in a truly stunning spot! The quality of the property, the incredible location, the warm welcome and wonderful service from host Gerry made for a very relaxing break. As stunning as the location is, the pictures really dont do justice to the interior of the properties. We stayed at Skyfell, but were fortunate to be shown inside the cottage and barn by Gerry. Theyre all fabulously furnished to a very high spec and as theyre on a remote, private peninsular have spectacular views over the reservoir. If peaceful solitude and quiet sanctuary is your thing, then look no further. Our dog Barney would agree too! Thank you so much Gerry! We really couldnt recommend Skyfell and Grimwith Cottages highly enough and will definitely be returning ASAP. VaughanLuke, Julia & family Barney

WOW!!! What a fantastic place to stay, I cant recommend skyfell enough. We was lucky enough to spend new year here and it couldnt of been any better. Jerry was there to meet us to talk us through a few things and leave his number if we needed anything. Top guy couldnt do enough for us. Will definitely be returning if were lucky enough to get booked in

A lovely refurbished farmhouse on the edge of the reservoir. The house was cosy, clean and whilst the beds were bit too soft it was very comfortable. If you are looking for a place to escape from the world then this is it, you really can shut the door, leave the world behind and listen to the bad weather and feel safe and snug. The kitchen is very well stocked with utensils and even cooking equipment you wouldn't've think it would have. A lovely dinning room which can fit about 10 people and a lovely living room with open fire. A very relaxing place, Jerry and Hayley are easily contactable, we did have an issue with the power which wasn't a fault of the owners and it was resolved quickly. A lovely remote, relaxing place and if you like walking then there are some lovely walks. We had a lovely time and would go back.

We stayed in this gorgeous Cottage the first week of December. The house is beautiful, clean and decorated to the highest standard. Its warm, cosy and spacious. We had the best time here at Skyfell it has everything you need and more and the welcome basket full of goodies was received with thanks. The views and walks around the reservoir are stunning and there was so much wildlife in the area owls, pheasants, grouse . Gerry the maintenance guy is around if you have any questions about the local area or history on the property he tops up your wood for the fire burners and keeps the hot tub burning if required. A genuine nice guy who's happy to help with any requests a real asset the properties. Theres no noise or light pollution at Skyfell , and if youre looking for a cottage where you can fully relax and enjoy quality time as a family this is the perfect place. We cant wait to go back. The highest of recommendations!

Nicola

The cottage was absolutely beautiful, even more amazing then the pictures as it was so spacious. It was incredibly clean and although some general wear and tear it was still very well kept. Incredible welcome package on arrival, which was so lovely as I was away for my 30th Birthday. The views were incredible and location couldnt have been any better! The person managing the property, Jerry was really kind ensured to ringtext and offered support if needed. Was an incredible stay, can not recommend enough.

Richard

A wonderful place to stay. It really does feel like your own personal slice of paradise, the location is lovely, right on the waters edge with spectacular views all around. My wife took her paddleboard and was in her element. The dogs loved it, the 4.5 mile walk around the reservoir is straight forward enough but with our German Shepherd being 11 we only did the full circuit once but she enjoyed the shorter walks each day. The grouse and pheasant kept her occupied! The property it self was spacious and had everything we needed. Beds where comfortable and everything was clean. Good water pressure for a decent shower. Even when outside the temperature dropped to 1 or 2 degrees celsius it was warm in the house. The lounge had a lovely open fire with a great stock of logs to keep us toastie in the evenings and add to the atmosphere. A big thank you to Jerry who looked after us when we had any questions and gave good instructions to keep the hot tub hot and clean. If he was at the property for any reason he kindly stocked us up with more logs, firelighters and changed the water in the hot tup. Really pleasant chap and a credit to the property. Little things like that make the stay that bit more enjoable. We would highly recommend this property to those wanting to escape and relax. But on the days that you do want to venture our, Grassington and Pateley Bridge are 1015 minutes away and Ripon, which we thoroughly enjoyed, is just over half an hour away. Truly a great place!

Kathyrn

Absolutely love this special place. This was our 2nd stay Grimwith & 1st in Skyfell. It felt so homely, absolutely stunning and wonderful facilities yet again. Thanks to Jerry the caretaker, keeping us secure and safe in some horrible weather. I can't speak highly enough of this place. We will definitely be returning. See you next year!

Had the very best week here, special place. Thanks for everything

The cottage is absolutely amazing. Very comfortable, well equipped, smart TVs in the bedrooms with Freeview for those rainy days. The views coming down the track when you first arrive are breathtaking. Beds are very comfy and the cleanliness is second to none. Every window has the most stunning views. Hot tub is great. It's an exceptionally rural place away from everything. No traffic noise no light pollution, exceptionally quiet. Great walks right from the door. I want to go back already and I've only been home one day. Some practical things to note the track to the cottage is a stony gravel path. It is very well maintained but if you are precious about your car or have a low riding car this could be an issue for you. There are three cottages on site, all are very private but they do share a courtyard at the front might be an issue if you are taking a dog that might not like other dogs people walking past. The court yard is very secure for pets. All back garden areas are separate and very private but they are openunfenced. This means all views are completely uninterrupted but just something to think about if your dog is a runner. The cottage is right on the edge of a very deep reservoir, this means bugsmidgesgnats etc. Take bug spray for your skin, especially if you like to sit outside in the summer. Communication was great, key pick up was easy. The welcome hamper was exceptionally generous and the people that manage this cottage are so friendly and helpful. I holiday once a year in the UK and have stayed in many cottages but Skyfell has been the best place I have ever stayed. I loved it.

Catherine

What an amazing property in a fabulous location we enjoyed a fantastic week amongst the beautiful scenery and abundant wildlife the red grouse and owls a particular highlight. The generous welcome hamper was much appreciated although more coffee, tea and toilet rolls would have been even better!. We enjoyed the remote, isolated feel of the reservoir, while having so many things to do and see within easy reach. This was our first trip to the Yorkshire Dales but we really hope we will be able to visit Skyfell again before too long, it really is a magical spot.

Andrew

What a truly wonderful place to stay. A high spec property with loads of space. Well equipped. Offering absolute peace and tranquillity. The perfect place to unwind and recharge away from it all, but not so far that you can't reach a shop if you need it! Is there anything to improve? Nothing I can think of, if I was really pressed for something then I suppose I could say the beds might be a touch soft for some peoples taste but that's really it. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it or in coming back

Stunning location. Comfortable stay. Highquality and tasteful decor and facilities. Lots to do in the area.

Philip

Fabulous spot to stay for a few days, whatever the weather. House is very nicely finished and the views are great. Jerry was very helpful. Couple of things that could maybe help is the main bedroom mattress looked a bit tired, but was actually reasonably comfortable, and because it is a bit of distance to the shops stocking things like red and brown sauce would have made breakfast a bit better. A great stay that will leave great memories.

Vivien

Beautiful well equipped house in stunning isolated position, also wood burning hot tub, lots of places of interest nearby and places to walk including 4. 5 mile walk around the reservoir. Lots of interesting birds and wildlife on our doorstep. Gerry was always available and couldnt have been more helpful. Would love to come back next year

This is an awesome farm house, and we had a special week there. We were well looked after, and the location is fantastic, really remote and wonderful. The decor inside the house is super, and the beds are fantastic, so comfortable. Would go back again.
