“Had a really lovely week in this cosy cottage.”

The village is very pretty and some great walks from the door. The parking is a pain. The reality is that it's a very small patch on the front of the property and parking in the village is always very busy. We managed to get on the front but did scrape our new car first time trying which didn't go down too well. After that we got the hang of it. Cottage very well equipped with lots of extra equipment you might need. We're not ones to worry about it being modern etc.. You are in the Yorkshire ...

The village is very pretty and some great walks from the door. The parking is a pain. The reality is that it's a very small patch on the front of the property and parking in the village is always very busy. We managed to get on the front but did scrape our new car first time trying which didn't go down too well. After that we got the hang of it. Cottage very well equipped with lots of extra equipment you might need. We're not ones to worry about it being modern etc.. You are in the Yorkshire dales in a very old cottage at the end of day. It was spotlessly clean. The beds were comfy and bedding and towels good quality. The only thing that caused us issues was the living room. We are a family of five and there wasn't enough seating. The settee is very small and just two chairs. Chilling as a family at night was part of the plan and we couldn't do that comfortably. Someone had to sit on the floor. Otherwise we had a lovely week. Thank you

“Cottage a little outdated, but very comfortable, light ,airy, and clean, there is everything you need .”

“Lovely village great location for Grassington surrounding villages also a short drive to Skipton which is a nice town with lots of shops.”

The Fountaine pub good food,local ales, a short walk to next village pub all good. Would recommend this holiday to any of our age group 60 +

“The cottage was pretty much as described and the bathroom really is that green.”

Whether visitors enjoy it depends on if they can see past some of the aging furniture, tired decor and leaks by the back door. If they can they'll be rewarded with a cosy place to stay in the heart of one of the prettiest villages in the Dales. To be fair some money has been spent on new flooring and the place was spotless. The bed linen and towels are of hotel quality. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor space, but no real views of the surrounding countryside. The pub in the village is lovely. We recommend booking a table on Friday lunch time to take advantage of the £5 fish and chips. We also enjoyed the Devonshire Arms in Grassington which is a couple of miles walk. Another tip is to buy a weekly parking ticket from the office in the car park at Grassington, it's £15 and can be used across sites in the park. Parking - The original advert stated off road parking, the confirmation stated there wasn't. In reality there is a patch outside the front door which you can reverse into. Anyone with a large estate or 4x4 may struggle to fit in it without blocking the neighbors. Reversing out is do-able if you take it slow. The downside is that one of the downstairs windows was blocked by a view of the rear of our car. Although not essential, it would have been nice to have a dryer to deal with our wet clothes. If you fancy a real fire, maybe bring some firelighters.

“Some comments have said that this cottage could do with updating, but it really depends what you are looking for.”

We loved it's oldy worldy charm. There is lots of living space, which is bright and pleasant to sit in, eat in, play games, watch TV. The cottage is warm, is in a great location, with a lovely wee outdoor space for sitting and reading or enjoying a glass of something cold. The hosts were thoughtful enough to provide some tea, coffee, sugar, toilet roll, washing up liquid etc for our arrival, though we are experienced in self-catering so had brought most of those things. The cottage also has good utensils, sharp knives etc, lots of dishes, serving plates, pots and pans, and oven dishes - some places we've stayed have had very little. The only thing i would add if possible is a dish washer... We loved this cottage, and the picturesque village of Linton, and would both recommend and return.

The cottage could be fabulous if money was spent to update it as very tired looking and only worth the three stars as listed, must always check this when booking as previous cottages booked with you have been four star and one was five,so maybe our fault,

“Accommodation a bit jaded but comfortable enough and homely / as per description.”

The location however was fantastic. Linton is a lovely place with a nice pub. Linton Falls are close by and well worth a visit. The general area is outstanding with many walks in easy driving distance: we are not 'walkers' by any means but all the walks were easily manageable. The Bolton Abbey walk was very scenic with excellent tea rooms ! The Ingleton Waterfalls Trail is a bit more energetic but again outstanding - unfortunately the tea room half way round was closed.
Mrs Johnson April 2019

“The house had everything you might need for a weeks stay.”

It’s fair to say it is very dated inside and in need of modernisation although It was clean and tidy. The main bed we felt needed updating it appeared very old and creaky and just climbing in and out you didn’t feel it was entirely safe! The master bedroom could do with the addition of more plug sockets or extension cables, one plug socket isn’t enough.

“Lovely cosy cottage with plenty of space, good kitchen facilities and crisp white sheets and towels.”

Yorkshire Dales charm and character prevail throughout the cottage and the nearby pub is a real delight, serving fabulous real ales, a good selection of wine and has a very good local reputation for the quality of its food.

About the location

LINTON

Skipton 8 miles; Grassington 3 miles.

Linton is one of the most outstanding villages in the upper Wharfedale community. The ancient Linton Beck flows through the village crossed by packhorse bridges, stepping-stones and fords. The stone houses clustered around the central green date from the 17th and 18th Century, and at the head of this village stands an architectural masterpiece, the Fountaine Hospital, founded in 1721. The village is served by the Fountaine Inn, with a wide reputation for outstanding beers and food, and its welcoming atmosphere. Close to Linton Falls on the River Wharfe, this is a superb walking area, with many paths to other villages, and easy access to the limestone fells. Down dale is the haunting Abbey ruins and Priory at Bolton Abbey, or the elegant town of Ilkley, overlooked by the famous Ilkley Moor. Up dale are Kettlewell and Buckden, with spectacular limestone scenery. Linton is a great base for exploring the local area with the market town of Skipton and its medieval castle a short drive away, and many other historic places including Bronte Country, Castle Howard, the elegant spa town of Harrogate, racing at Ripon and the majestic medieval city of York within easy motoring distance.
