United Kingdom Skipton Poppy Cottage Guest House The Best Hotel Deals

Poppy Cottage Guest House is a delightful 16th Century cottage, awarded 4* silver in June 2010 for its high quality of accommodation and customer service, and is attached to the home of Steve & Sally, at Ivy Cottage Farm. Situated in the village of Carleton-in-Craven, just 2 miles from the historical, market town of Skipton, with its 4 day open air market, Poppy Cottage is the ideal base for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the town and sample a 'cottage' style B&B, whilst exploring Skipton and the Dales. Carleton itself has it's own newsagents/village store, local pub serving meals, Post Office and Farm Shop and has some lovely local walks taking you around the village and into the town. If you prefer to leave the car behind, you can comfortably walk into Skipton using the public footpath across open fields, crossing the River Aire. Then take one of the hourly buses back from Skipton into the village. Poppy Cottage has been sympathetically restored in 2009 and each individually designed bedroom enjoys views of the countryside and hills beyond. Each room is complete with their own flatscreen TV with freeview and DVD player (DVD library available), towels and bathrobes, complimentary toiletries and tea and coffee making facilities with fresh milk available from the guests fridge situated in the dining room. Breakfast is served in what was the orginal farm kitchen with the exposed inglenook fireplace and Yorkshire stone flagged floor. We serve breakfast using our own 'flavoursome' sausage and bacon from our ourdoor reared pigs and local produce from one of Skipton's award winning butchers and in July 2010 received our Enjoy England - Breakfast Award in recognition of this. We are also very proud of the fresh eggs we serve with their gorgeous, yellowy yolks, courtesy of 'the girls'. We have ample private parking for guests and lovely south-facing decked gardens, accessed from the guest lounge, complete with log burning sto
