The Pines, Skipton

The Pines is a spacious holiday lodge in Skipton, North Yorkshire. This four-bedroom property sits in one of Britain's most desirable locations - The Sunday Times didn't name it "best place to live" in 2014 for nothing! With room for eight guests and your four-legged companions, this modern home offers exceptional comfort and entertainment options just minutes from town.

Set in the stunning Yorkshire landscape with views that'll make your Instagram followers weep with envy. The Leeds to Liverpool Canal is a mere 0.4 miles away - perfect for morning walks before the rest of your party drags themselves out of bed. Skipton Castle and Malham Cove are close by too. Everything's within easy reach - shops and pubs are less than a mile away.

The accommodation includes three double bedrooms (one with en-suite), a twin room and two additional bathrooms. The open-plan living space features a gas fire, while the property also boasts a utility room, conservatory, study and a dedicated cinema room for those inevitable rainy Yorkshire days.

Visit Skipton Castle (1.2 miles, 5-minute drive), explore Malham Cove (11 miles, 25 minutes), try the Raven Tree Top Adventure (2 miles, 7 minutes), or wander the Leeds to Liverpool Canal (0.4 miles, 2-minute walk). Grassington is just 9 miles away, with Harrogate a scenic 20-mile drive.

The Pines is perfect for large families or friend groups looking for quality time together. Soak in the hot tub with a glass of wine while the kids watch a film. Just remember - what happens in the hot tub stays in the hot tub!
