    Very good quality bedding and towels, beautiful kitchen with aga and equipped with everything you need. Delightful welcome pack on arrival. Comprehensive local guides and literature. Lots of games and reading matter. The area is outstanding with fabulous walks and scenery. Park your car outside the door so no need to worry looking for a parking spot! All in all one of the best places we've stayed and we hope return.

  • "Excellent cottage in a superb location for walking."

    The information on local walks/ cycle rides was the best ever provided in any of our previous cottages. Beautifully furnished with quality bedding, towels and curtains. We would have struggled with enough cups and glasses (several chipped items) if we had been 6 (only 2 of us) . It would be sensible to mention that the road is busy and a bit of a race track

  • "This is one of the two best cottages that we have stayed in all over the UK."

    Sophie's attention to detail is exemplary and the cottage is extremely well equipped. The Aga was a bonus as we had a very wet week but were out walking every day and we were always able to dry our kit on the airer. The supply of logs was another bonus and again much appreciated given the poor weather. The beds were very comfortable as were the eating and living areas. Another example of attention to detail was the range of goodies that Sophie had left for us - Prosecco, mince pies, chocolates etc. This was very kind and thoughtful.

  • "What a beautiful homely and cosy cottage which was very comfortable and clean."

    The cottage is very spacious easily accommodating up to 6 people. Loved the Aga. It had everything you could need, very well equipped indeed. It is perfectly situated for Grassington, being a 10 minute walk away. There is an excellent pub in Linton, The Fountaine Inn, a traditional country pub serving good food and ale. Plenty of walks from the cottage, particularly along the River Wharfe, taking you to places such as Hebdon where The Old School cafe is, an excellent stop off for coffee and wonderful cake. On the whole this was a great week in the Dales, just love it. Highly recommend it, in fact we have booked again, can’t wait.

  • "A beautiful, cosy cottage in the Dales."

    Excellent communication from the owner. Loved the prosecco and chocolate cake as welcome gifts, really got our break off to a lovely start! Cooking breakfast on the Aga was a real treat and settling in front of the log burner after a days walking was the perfect way to end our evenings. The location is perfect, a short walk on a footpath into Grassington and plenty of lovely walks right on the doorstep. Would definitely recommend Dales Cottage to anyone!

    The bedrooms are clean and comfortable and my favourite one is the one right at the top house and being able to see the stars. There is a handy downstairs toilet and wash basin. The kitchen and living room are lovely and cozy especially the kitchen with the aga. The cottage is in a fantastic position just minutes from the beautiful Linton falls and it is lovely to stand on the bridge over the falls and watch the sun go down. Gutted that we won’t be back this September due to other commitments but I’m sure we will be back soon.

    We had a really nice gesture of cake and prosecco when we arrived. Really comfortable, well-fitted out cottage. Maps, books were great for local area, and games etc for kids. The parking situation was exactly as described with a free place in the public car park on the opposite side of the road, we never parked more than 20-40 yards away, and we could park one car directly outside the house. A bit of to-ing and fro-ing with visitors on the road outside with those coming to the Falls, but actually really quiet inside. Really easy footpath access up into Grassington itself over the footbridge, or onto river footpaths both up and down, which also made it a really great location. Great area.

    From the cottage, Grassington is just a short walk away where you can browse the shops and enjoy the laid back appeal of the village, it is also ideally placed for eating out and we recommend the Fountaine Inn a 10 minute walk away. From the Fountaine Inn you can jump the bus in to Skipton to explore Skipton Castle and the castle woods, a good day out. All in all Dales cottage offers a comfortable ,relaxing break and the welcome cake, wine and milk were most appreciated.

    Don't be put off by the lack of garden, because the surroundings more than compensate. We spent hours walking and exploring in the great outdoors. The house itself is cosy and welcoming with wonderfully comfy beds, plenty of space for relaxing, lovely bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen. Cooking with the Aga was a real novelty that we really enjoyed. The village of Grassington is a short walk away, where you'll find an assortment of shops and eateries. The Retreat Tearoom did an amazing vegan menu and the Indian Restaurant Rozi's was friendly and accommodating. We loved our week away and would highly recommend Dales Cottage.

  • "Dales cottage was lovely."

    Arrived to find a lovely bottle of prosecco, fruit cake and big bag of kettle crisps which had been left for us which we didn’t expect. Lovely family size kitchen with AGA cooker which kept the cottage warm. Cozy living room with log burner. We bought our own logs/kindling/firefighters etc but didn’t really need to as there was plenty there already. Loads of dvds and games for the kids and books on the local area. Master bedroom had an on suite shower/toilet so was perfect for us as we were sharing cottage with my parents. The main bathroom was situated right next to their bedroom so we didn’t have any queues of a morning. There was also a downstairs toilet in the utility room. Our 2 children stayed in the loft room which was spacious and very warm. Didn’t realise that there was a pull out bed under one of the singles so we could have brought my husbands grandson but we’ll know for next time. The fountains pub which is a 2 minute drive away served home cooked food and real ales. We came the 2nd week in December and went to the Dickensian festival on the Saturday and Sunday which is 20 minute walk away. Well worth a visit. Very Christmassy. Lots of carol singing, brass band and candlelight walk at 4pm. The 3 main pubs in the grassington village were very busy because of the festival so we couldn’t get a table during the day but there were plenty of cafes and stalls selling hot food so we weren’t put off. We also went to Haworth which is Brontë Country. 40 min drive away. Well worth a visit and very picturesque as it snowed whilst we were there. Overall we loved the cottage and the Yorkshire Dales. Would definitely recommend. We took our dog buddy and I’m sure he would recommend too.

The property

Situated on the outskirts of Threshfield, a stone’s throw from the River Wharf and Linton Falls, is this delightful, four star visit England accredited end-terrace cottage.

Set over three floors, with a homely AGA, woodburning stove and bright, spacious bedrooms, it is the perfect choice for families and friends exploring the Yorkshire Dales.

The ground floor is made up of a large, comfortable kitchen where you can sit around the table and discuss the day’s adventures while tasty meals are being prepared.

After a good meal, and a long walk, everyone can retire to the sitting room and relax by the woodburner whilst you decide where to explore next.

On the first floor are two good-sized bedrooms, one with a lovely en-suite with a large walk-in shower, as well as a family bathroom.

Up on the second floor, in a fantastic loft space enjoying pretty views of the river from the eaves window, are twin beds and an additional pull-out stacker bed for flexibility.

Outside the cottage is pure tranquillity, where you can often hear beautiful birdsong and the river as it rushes by.

You can easily walk down to the picturesque Linton Falls, or venture into Threshfield for a bite to eat at the local pub.

There are an abundance of walks to enjoy through the Dales, and a visit to Grassington, Skipton and Bolton Abbey are an absolute must!

A fabulous little cottage in a wonderful location!

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.

This property offers the following short breaks:

  • Winter
  • Off-season
