    The boat was fabulous. The area around, steps away from the town, restaurants and some great independent shops. We found staying here was 100% better than a hotel. I know if in Skipton again, this is the place I would want to stay.

We used to run a small narrowboat Holiday hire business until 2022 . But now offer The Boat as static stay in the centre of the fantastic market town , Skipton
What's not to love about Skipton? Immense history, a rich culture, independent shops, food & drink places galore, a famous market, an iconic castle, stunning countryside and, perhaps most of all, friendly, fiercely proud and passionate Yorkshire people.
