Recently stayed for a weekend in the lovely town of Skipton. Russel Retreat is an affordable, cosy, warm and comfortable apartment. Neat, clean and well maintained this cottage will serve as a fantastic location to enjoy a stay in the heart of Yorkshire. A short walk in to town allows you to enjoy a day of shopping and evening out without having to worry about parking or other travel arrangements. The Retreat’s owner is very easily accessible, prompt with responses, friendly and has plenty of recommendations for places to explore and enjoy. Would highly recommend staying here any time of the year.

We enjoyed our stay at the Russell retreat. It was conveniently located to walk into town and access the main roads by car. For a short stay (a week), it had all we needed. We were comfortable, warm, and the neighbourhood was quiet so that we were able to sleep well. Skipton is a lovely market town, with cafés, restaurants, and supermarkets with cheap petrol close by.

What a lovely stay we had at Russell Retreat! The place was super clean and very cosy. The location's perfect too, close to the center of the town as well as to the station and grocery stores. Some tips: for us, the blanket for sleeping was too small. It was also not entirely clear where we could find extra towels (we were staying for a week). Pans in the kitchen were heavily used and frankly dangerous to use (PFAS). We picked the place because it has a beautiful kitchen, but bought two new pans while we were there so we could cook. Otherwise, thanks for a lovely stay!
