    "Thank you. We’ve had a lovely stay at Riverdale House."

    One of the best equipped kitchens we’ve come across! The only thing we struggled with was the thick winter duvets on the beds in the summer, especially given how hot the bedrooms got due to having to keep the windows whilst we were out. Just that small issue though, we would definitely recommend Riverdale House.

    "A beautiful property which is clearly loved and cared for by the owners themselves, as this is reflected by the quality of decor, furnishings etc."

    Everything is maintained to an extremely high standard, providing comfort and luxury for guests, making you feel instantly at home. The location is close to the Fountaine Inn (our favourite) and also to Grassington ,Burnsall and Appletreewick. Linton Falls itself is perfect for walks and a quiet peaceful area. We intend to re visit this property later this year :)

    It is very heart-warming for us that the time and effort we have put into Riverdale House is so appreciated. Thank you so much for your comments and we look forward to welcoming you back later in the year. Do book soon to insure you get the dates that suit you. Property Owner

    "Riverdale House is well situated for all the areas we wanted to explore."

    We felt instantly relaxed on arrival as the cottage has a lovely homely feel about it. The furniture and fittings were very comfortable and of a high standard. It was also very well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The property guidance notes were extremely informative and helpful and the ‘welcome gifts’ provided were much appreciated. These comments, together with the glorious weather we had, made for a very memorable holiday.

    We are so very happy to hear you felt at home here and were able to relax easily. Sadly we can’t guarantee such stunning weather for every guest but we aim to keep everything we can provide at a consistently high standard. Long may your happy memories last and we would be delighted to welcome you back for a return stay at Riverdale House to make even more, if that fits for you in the future. Property Owner

    The main bathroom was so spacious excellent shower , only downside one of the factors in choosing the cottage was the bath , unfortunately we couldn’t use it as it had a leak which would be fixed on our departure .

    Dear Mrs Tait. I’m pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay and the quality of facilities was excellent. I’m sorry that the bath was not useable. The leak was identified before your visit and unfortunately we were unable to get it repaired before you arrived. I’m pleased to report that it has been fixed now. We therefore do hope that if you consider returning to the area you will choose Riverdale House again. Regards John and Victoria. Property Owner

    "Riverdale House is a beautiful property that has great facilities."

    Our family of four loved our time there and wished we could have stayed for longer. My kids are already pestering me for a return visit. The location is great. Close enough to Grassington and Linton for a gentle walk to dinner and lunch, whilst also being peaceful, with just the sound of Linton Falls and wildlife at night. There are loads of walks that can start and finish at the back door.

    We are delighted you appreciated the facilities in our house. Hopefully your children found some of the games provided appealed to them too. We are pretty sure the out-of-the-front door opportunities for paddling in the River Wharfe and crossing the stepping stones would have done. We hope you will return soon for more family fun - and peaceful times too. Property Owner

The property

Grassington 0.6 miles.

Riverdale House is a beautifully presented three storey south-facing abode which rests in the countryside of Linton Falls, near Grassington.

Perfect for family and friends, this property makes a fantastic base for those seeking a peaceful countryside escape to the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

The heart of the home lies in the well-equipped kitchen where you can prepare and enjoy delicious meals together and toast to a magical holiday around the dining table.

Retire to the inviting sitting room to relax, read, listen to the radio, play board games or watch TV with login to your on-demand services.

On those chillier nights, warmth and focus is available in front of the stylish gas-fired stove.

Ascend the staircase to the upper floors, where you will find two large plush bedrooms providing flexibility for different guest configurations.

The first floor bedroom provides, at your request, either a zip-linked super-king size bed or two single beds.

The second floor bedroom offers a luxurious secluded retreat with king-size bed and 4 skylight Velux windows to see the stars.

Each bedroom has its own separate bright and airy walk-in hand and rainfall shower, basin, and WC.

Indulge in a warm soak in the free-standing bath in the unusually spacious main bathroom.

For added convenience there is a utility room with a basin and WC inside the back door and coat and boot racks.

There is a study nook in the kitchen for those who need to catch up on work or just want to take advantage of the super-fast wi-fi (available throughout the house).

A bistro table and two chairs are provided, where you can sit out in the tranquil surroundings and enjoy a cup or glass of something al fresco while breathing in the fresh Yorkshire air.

Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the area with the stunning Linton Falls (largest falls on the River Wharfe) just a stone's throw away from the cottage.

Riverdale House is situated on a small no through road.

A short 5 minute walk from the front door will take you to the 12th century St Michael’s & All Angels church on the edge of the River Wharfe right by the much-photographed ancient course of stepping stones.

If cooking is not on the agenda, dine at The Fountaine Inn in Linton, “our local”, or a very short walk across The Falls brings you to Grassington village where an unusually large selection and choice of places to eat and drink is available: The Devonshire Arms, Grassington House and Black Horse Hotel are just a few examples of lovely places to get a taste of local cuisine.Under 10 minutes drive away is the Michelin-stared Angel at Hetton for those seeking to celebrate or simply experience extra fine dining nearby.

Riverdale House, near the River Wharfe on the Dales Way, is in a row of former mill cottages built in the late Victorian era.The house was extensively remodelled in 2020 and completely refurnished in 2024.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

The village is served by the Fountaine Inn, with a wide reputation for outstanding beers and food, and its welcoming atmosphere.Linton Falls and the River Wharfe are in a superb walking area, with many paths to other villages, and easy access to the limestone fells. Down dale are the haunting abbey ruins and priory of Bolton Abbey, and the elegant town of Ilkley, overlooked by the famous Ilkley Moor. Up dale are Kettlewell and Buckden, with spectacular limestone scenery. The local town of Skipton offers a plethora of attractions including Skipton Castle, boat trips, and the tranquil Skipton Castle Woods.Only a little further away are the delights of Malham Cove, Brimham Rocks, Stump Cross Caverns, the towns of Knaresborough and Harrogate and Haworth, the centre of “Bronte Country”, served by the Worth Valley steam railway.
