We had a lovely stay at Skelder! The cottage is very spacious and plenty of room for our family of 7. The hosts were very accommodating and communicative. Thoroughly recommend!
Jacquie
The house was lovely. Very warm and inviting. Very thoughtful to put up a Christmas tree. Very quiet area within a few minutes from the nearest small town. Only issue was the upstairs shower drain. Had a wonderful stay, thankyou!
Stephanie
We loved our stay at Skelder. Its a real home from home, so comfortable and warm and with everything that you need for a relaxed holiday. The layout of the cottage worked perfectly for us, we all had enough privacy with cosy areas and loads of space in the beautiful big garden for the grandchildren.
Brilliant stay thank you . The house was wonderful , it took us a while to get used to the oven , but got there in the end Just a little bit of feedback , the back door lock is very stiff it was a struggle to get it locked each time . Otherwise all was perfect thank you .

We bought a coffee jug to supplement facilities in Skelder was a coffee machine for pods, and no pods. Hence the purchase. Left it in property. Otherwise well equipped property. Ideal for our purpose.
