“The cottage was equipped with everything we needed and was set in an ideal location for visiting other outstanding destinations.”

Another nice touch was upon arrival there was a freshly made loaf of bread on the side and a bottle of wine and milk in the fridge which made you feel welcome.

“A delightful cottage ideally placed for visiting Harrogate, Ripon, York and the Dales.”

Cosy and well equipped. The owners kindly supplied bread, milk, butter, bottle of wine, tea, coffee and sugar to get us started when we arrived which was much appreciated. There is a small shop in the village and several good pubs/restaurants nearby. Couldn’t fault it so would highly recommend to anyone wanting a holiday in this area.

- Mrs Wood, June 2019
“The owners had provided everything we needed .”

Little thoughtful touches were everywhere we looked. Although they were next door they were not intrusive but encouraged us to ask if we needed anything which we didn't because of their planning. This is the second time we have used your site and both times we were more than pleased with the outcome. The only thing the only thing we don't like is the number of e mails you send out even when we pay in full up front

- Mr Piercy, May 2019
“The location was ideal for us, directions and access instructions were spot on, the owners, Sue & Martin were on hand for any questions we may have had, the surrounding countryside was beautiful, and easy access to many local villages, Ripon, Masham, and more.”

- Mr Magnall, April 2019
“This is a great place to stay because it is located amidst some of the loveable towns of North Yorkshire .”

The return to the cottage is so relaxing and generally quiet apart from the noise of farm machinery, You don't get countryside like this without The drive from our home was pleasant the A1 is the best route and now carries less traffic. To the cottage the owners were very easy to help in any way or advice. The only thing we didn't like was the TV wall location but everything else was fine including the weather A & E Rose

- Mr Rose, April 2019
“We have stayed in this cottage many times and keep coming back because it is in a good location, clean, warm and comfortable and we are made to feel very welcome.”

- Mrs Finney, September 2018
“Wonderful holiday break at Markington Grange.”

situated between Harrogate and Ripon, excellent base for visiting nearby towns including Knaresborough, Thirsk and York. Set in an area of stunning natural beauty. The accomodation is excellent. Clean and bright. Plenty of space for parking. Rooms are good size and spotlessly clean. Good WiFi signal, but telephone signal not great inside the cottage. Unexpected 'Welcome Pack' including bread and wine. Very happy to recommend and looking forward to returning, probably next year.

- Mr Rosen, September 2018
“We had a wonderfull time at Markington Grange cottage.”

This is a place wich we will book again. Everything was just great.

- Mrs Bresijn, August 2018
“MY husband and myself had a lovely time in the cottage.”

Very peaceful and quiet. Just the right size for two people. Helped us with my delivery of equipment in the cottage. Very friendly couple would like to return there sometime.

- Ms Carlyon, July 2018
“We spent six nights in this delightful cottage in June and found it extremely well equipped.”

The location was perfect for us to explore the region. On arrival we were impressed that bread, milk, jam, fruit and a bottle of wine were awaiting us. Would highly recommend the Cottage for guests who prefer to stay outside of cities.

- Mr Walsh, June 2018
“The cottage was extremely comfortable and clean felt like home from home.”

Would definitely recommend it.

- Mr Hawkins, June 2018
“The owner's were very helpful.”

If any small problem arose, they were only too willing to assist. The cottage was excellent and the hosts were most kind in putting out a welcome package. I thoroughly recommend this cottage as a holiday home.

- Mr Hall, May 2018
“A comfortable and restful base for enjoying the glorious Dales.”

We received a warm welcome from our hosts and much appreciated their thoughtful gifts so that we were equipped for breakfast on Sunday. Mr and Mrs Griffin were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The cottage was clean, very comfortable, well equipped and well situated for us explorying the area, which was fairly new to us. We were blessed with wonderful weather and the cottage remained comfortably cool for us. I particlularly enjoyed the private patio to enjoy the early morning and late afternoon sunshine.

“This is the very best cottage that we have used.”

The weather was terrible ( one sunny day in seven! ) But we did not mind as the cottage more than made up for the weather.

- Mr Craggs, April 2018
“Owners always make you feel most welcome”

- Mr Maddocks, April 2018
“Despite the very unseasonal weather and the fact that my husband and I were ill during our stay we found the cottage very comfortable and it was in an ideal spot.”

- Mrs Bramman-Lewis, March 2018
“We spent two weeks at Markington Grange in January of this year (2018).”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this comfortable cottage, beautiful location, well equipped, and , despite freezing temperatures, lovely and warm . Would definitely stay again , I guess a stay in summer would be fantastic, being able to make use of the peaceful outside setting.

- Ms Dickinson, January 2018

“This cosy, warm cottage provides everything we could need to relax and enjoy its lovely, tranquil setting.”

We are always made to feel very welcome.

- Mr Finney, September 2017
“Basically we were ill and left on the Wednesday morning.”

This had nothing to do with the holiday let which was lovely, however it did have to do with a viral infection we had picked up earlier.

- Mrs Dutton, September 2017
“Ideal location”

This cottage was easy to find off the main road, is very comfortable with everything we require. Everything on one level so ideal for anyone with mobility problems. Friendly owners who left wine, butter, bread & milk in the cottage for us & recommended a lovely pub for my birthday meal. The cottage is well placed to visit places like Ripon, Harrogate, York & Skipton. Also on the edge of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales & very close to Fountains Abbey and other NT properties. Would certainly like to return. Thank you!

- Linda G, March 2017
“superb cottage”

Cottage in superb condition ,it was ideally located to suit us for the type of walking we had planned .The walking guides we found in the cottage were a great help particularly the guide book of "Walks around Harrogate East and west" A well written book and one you could use without having a map ,as the instructions were so good

“Ideal base for exploring the countryside”

Markington Grange Cottage is ideally situated between Harrogate & Ripon as a base for exploring this beautiful part of the country. The cottage itself was very cosy and well equipped with everything needed for a pleasant stay.

“Home from Home!!”

Peaceful surroundings.Really comfortable accommodation, friendly on site hosts. Ideal location from which to explore North Yorkshire.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, September 2010
“Excellent”

Perfect little cottage. Warm, comfortable, clean and very well equipped. The owners were helpful and pleasant but unobtrusive. The countryside around looks very pretty but it was quite wintery when I was there so I didn't do much exploring. Harrogate and Ripon are 10 minutes away. Can also recommend The George hotel nearby for great food.
