“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.

“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.

“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.

“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.

“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.

“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.

“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!

“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

“Home from Home!!”

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

“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.
