Hosts were welcoming, friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Beautiful view from living room - could almost sit there all day watching the changing moods of the river. Very well equipped - lacked for nothing.

Ms Thompson January 2019

“A really lovely, comfortable flat.”

One of the best equipped S/C properties I have stayed in. Plenty of room for 2 people, loved having a Kingsized bed, plus lots of storage. We enjoyed the quietness at night, along with the proximity to the centre of Grassington, making a pleasant morning walk for papers and croissants. I don’t think the website photographs do the property justice..

- Ms Thompson, January 2019

Nothing is too much trouble. The position of the apartment is central for visiting many parts of the Yorkshire Dales and the views from the main living area are wonderful with plenty of stimulating things to see near the riverside.

- Mrs Bailey, July 2017
Mr Lamb May 2017

“Terrible”

This cottage is beautifully located when it is not a building site. I booked this cottage about nine months prior to my stay. A few days before my arrival the owner contacted me to explain that there was building work going on and we "might" be disturbed. At such short notice my wife and I decided to risk it until 2 days before we were due to take possession the agent, Sykes Cottages, rang us to say the booking was cancelled due to builders cutting through the power supply cable. At such short notice the only acceptable alternative was a more expensive cottage. When I approached the owner asking that they compensate me for the additional cost they refused. I actually called at the site and it was indeed a building site with mechanical diggers all over the place. This is the second time in 3 years that this owner has done this to us and on both occasions because of building work. A most unsatisfactory experience.

“Breathtaking Views”

My Husband and I stayed here with our 6 month old Puppy for a short vacation in February. The accommodation is lovely, clean and very spacious. We absolutely loved the view from the sitting room and enjoyed having our early morning cuppa watching the babbling river and the ducks. Grassington itself has some lovely little shops and a few hostelries and cafe's so you can enjoy a cold glass of something or something more warming. it is literally a 5-10 minute walk into Grassington. The owners are really lovely and nothing is too much trouble should you need anything. We will definitely be back :)

- Bevh20214, February 2017
Mrs Roberts December 2015

“Everything in the cottage was clean and in abundance.”

The couches and beds were so comfortable too, there was plenty of room for everyone to sit down. The views were exceptional and it was in walking distance to the town. It was also warm and cosy. We all loved it and would return again.

- Mrs Roberts, December 2015
David E July 2015

- David E, July 2015
Sandra M April 2015

“Lovely flat with spectacular views.”

Lovely flat; very comfortable. It's at the end of a terrace of houses overlooking the river. There is parking for one vehicle. It has a good Wi-Fi / internet connection and the mobile phone signal was good (Vodafone). It's just a short walk to the town, where there are plenty of cafes, restaurants, pubs, etc., and lots of shops with local goods. It's well placed for exploring the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, either on foot or by car. The flat's well equipped with plenty of kitchen utensils, etc. It also has a large amount of books, games, DVD's and other entertainment to keep you occupied if you're stuck indoors. Owners very helpful and friendly. They live in the flat above, so are on hand if you need them. Best of all — the view from the picture window is just amazing. (We were lucky: it was sunny for the whole week that we were there.)

- Sandra M, April 2015
Mrs Midgley April 2015

- Mrs Huntington, July 2014
Mrs Foulger March 2014

“A quiet cottage in a lovely position which enabled us to head straight out onto footpaths, without taking the car.”

There was also a good bus service if required. Local shops useful for newspapers and groceries. Would definitely book again.

- Mrs Foulger, March 2014
Mrs Chatterton March 2014

Everything was spotlessly clean and everything we could possibly need had been provided. The views from the sitting room and sun room were glorious.

- Mrs Chatterton, March 2014
Mrs Corless December 2013

“Everything was excellent!”

The location of Grassington was wonderful and the Dickensian Festival most enjoyable. The cottage itself was a joy; warm and cosy and spacious. The hosts were very friendly, but never intrusive at all. Highly recommended, and we hope to visit again sometime in the future.

- Mrs Corless, December 2013

A FlipKey verified reviewer October 2013

“A magnificent view from a lovely apartment.”

The service was good. The owners had their apartment above us, we had our privacy. The apartment had everything we needed and the beds were good. The view was wonderful and it was only a few minutes walk to the centre of Grassington . We had a dog with us and we could make lovely walks nearby. It is a pity that the Yorkshire Dales and this apartment are not situated in Holland. Otherwise we certainly visited it again soon.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, October 2013
Mr Wells October 2013

Mr Havermans July 2013

“We had a very good week away as the view was wonderful from the apartment.”

We also have a dog and went on long walks.

- Mr Havermans, July 2013
Mrs Bailey July 2013

“A very warm welcome given.”

The owners live on-site and were there if we needed them without being intrusive. The view from the lounge window was magnificent; a fantastic Dales scenery. The position just outside this popular village was ideal and central for exploring Wharfedale and Wensleydale, and easy to get to the town of Skipton. We would certainly return to this property when next in the Yorkshire Dales.

- Mrs Bailey, July 2013
Mrs Watson June 2013

Mike H January 2013

“Perfect cottage in a fantastic location!”

This cottage is superb. Close to the lovely village of Grassington (less than 5 mins walking), nice and private at the end of a row of cottages with a parking space. It is very well equipped, modern and cosy with plenty of room for 2 to 4 people. The views from the living room and sun room are of the River Wharfe and the bridge into the village. The riverside footpath can be accessed close to the cottage, which is ideal for those visiting with a four legged friend wanting to walk. We visited over the New Year period and even the unbelievably wet weather didn't spoil our stay as the cottage is so homely and comfortable. This must be one of the best equipped cottages anywhere and the owners are very welcoming but not intrusive even though they live very close by. It is a credit to the owners who have done a magnificent job in creating this special place!

About the location

GRASSINGTON

Skipton 9 miles; Ilkley 12 miles.

Grassington is one of the most charming villages in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Traditional stone cottages and shops are clustered around the cobbled market place, offering exceptional shopping facilities for a village of this size, with a monthly farmer’s market offering a mouthwatering range of organic and homemade local produce. Situated on the River Wharfe, with the extensive Grass Woods to the north of the village, this is a superb walking area. Down dale is Bolton Abbey with the Abbey ruins, the Priory and the famous “Strid Walk”. A little further is the elegant town of Ilkley, overlooked by the famous Ilkley Moor. Up dale are Kettlewell and Buckden boasting spectacularly beautiful limestone scenery. With many other beauty spots scattered throughout Wharfedale, Grassington provides a great base for exploring the local area and all that the Dales have to offer, with Brontë Country and York also being within easy motoring distance.
