“Had a wonderful weekend in Gromit Cottage.”

It was well situated in Masham. Although not much of a view cottage was clean, well equipped and spacious.

“This is a lovely cottage, much bigger than we expected yet really cosy.”

We had everything we needed, communication was really easy and would definitely book again.
Mrs Fisher November 2019

“The cottage was lovely but I did feel it needed the furniture updating in the living room.”

It was quite clean but not as clean as I'd like (I have stayed in a lot of cottages before) dust in places and some cups/beakers dirty in cupboard.
Mrs Jones October 2019

“Gromit Cottage exceeded our expectations in many ways.”

The pictures online don't do it justice at all. It is very spacious, lovely and homely with a well stocked kitchen providing everything you could possibly need. The bedrooms are a good size and the beds really comfy. Everything is very clean and well cared for with lots of leaflets and printed walks of the area to give lots of ideas for the stay. The area is lovely with good pubs to visit and plenty of beautiful places to see.

“Lovely cottage very comfortable”
Mrs Martin June 2019

“We loved the location of the cottage & it was very clean & generally well equipped.”

Having a downstairs loo was a bonus! I found the cupboards a little high to reach & the quantities of mugs & cutlery a bit haphazard but there was enough for the 2 of us. A cheese grater would be a useful addition. The upstairs was wonderful - enormous comfy bed & a lovely bathroom. If I’m being picky, I’d say that the lounge seating has seen better days & as I’m not tall, my back was aching after a couple of days. Very minor niggles though & we wouldn’t hesitate to go back. Loved the dog friendly pubs & the fantastic fish & chips!

“Gromit Cottage was located away from the main road so was lovely and quiet at night but was also within 2 minutes walk of the main square and the pubs and restaurant and 5 minutes walk away from the Black Sheep Brewery.”

It was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay.
Mr Savin November 2018

“A great property in the centre of Masham just off the Main Street.”

It was lovely and quiet but handy for the cafes and pubs plus the two breweries in the village. There was a great wood burner in the front room to sit by in the cooler evenings. There was central heating but oddly no heating in the front room so it was the fire or nothing, cold in the mornings without a radiator in there. A very comfortable stay.
Mr Milner September 2018

“Nice, clean, comfortable and well equipped cottage.”

Central, but quiet location with ample private parking. Ideal for Masham Shops and bars (Co-op and nearest pub is literally within a few minutes walk. Cottage is perfect apart from being entirely dependent upon a wood burner for heating in the lovely, spacious living room. No problem having the option of a wood burner, but would much have preferred a radiator as the rest of the cottage is nice and warm. With Autumn and winter approaching it would be nice to have a nice warm living room in a morning and evening without having to mess about trying to get a fire going. This is the only thing that would put me off returning, as I plan to visit Masham again in the future.

“Lovely cottage, lovely place to visit!”

“Masham Break”

The cottage was placed in the centre of the village and close to all the attractions it was a very well furnished cottage and was pet friendly my family and I and our pets had a great break and certainly will use Gromit Cottage again in the near future

“Still the best”

This was our third stay at Gromit cottage. Have to say it is still in my view the best of the six holiday lets we have used in Masham. Has everything you could ask for in order to have a great holiday. The adjacency to all amenities, pubs and restaurants is a big plus. Only downside is the garage which is just down from the back of the cottage which can be a little noisy, particularly at their start of business. This did not detract an any way to us having a great time. A bonus was the professional way the owners catered for our individual requirements which we greatly appreciate. Worth a visit. A real home from home in beautiful Masham.

“Mr”

I agree with much that has been said before. It was spacious, clean and the beds were very comfortable. Excellent base for touring Dales and shopping trips to Ripon and Harrogate. I have to disagree with the "quiet back lane" comments. On each week day morning the adjacent garage felt the need to rev its removal truck to facilitate the arrival of many cars some of which were later found in the cottage parking space. Please see attached picture of view out of lounge window one morning. The kitchen could of been a bit better equiped. No mop (muddy dog) and a kettle that stayed closed would have been nice. Other utensils very basic and tired. Only real grip with furnishings was dining table and chairs provided. They could at best be described as unstable and rickety. These minor issues aside we did enjoy our stay and short cut to Co-Op was invaluable. Good wi-fi for those that need it. Try the Bruce Arms for pleasant evening but did seem to run out of things alot. Then it was February. Would recommend Grommit Cottage

“EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN...AND MORE!”

Absolutely perfect for our 5-night stay. We, that is me, wife, son and dog, wanted a two bedroom hideaway close to the centre of Masham, and convenient for shooting off for days-out. Oh, and pet friendly, of course. Well, Gromit Cottage met all these criteria and more. The owner of the cottage lives in the adjoining property (Wallace Cottage!), so he is on hand should you need anything. OK, we found it a bit hard to find at first, despite comprehensive directions...maybe the best bet is to park up in the Market Square (honesty box parking), and find the place on foot, first. It is literally two minutes' walk from the Square, but you do have to navigate some narrow ginnels! Parking at the property is outside, but there is more than adequate room for two vehicles, and it is 'Private Parking'. All in all, it does exactly what it says on the tin, and more....and please read my review of the nearby 'Bruce Arms' for what we believed to be the best pub/eaterie.

“Ideal location for all local amenities.”

This is the 5th rental we have used in Masham. It rates very highly when compared to the others. We particularly like the location which is ideal for us as all pubs, shops, breweries are easily accessed from the doorstep. The cottage is very comfortable and has all you need for a great stay. We will definitely return next year.

“Centrally located with everything you could need.”

Cottage is very comfortable and spacious. Everything you could need is in place. Two minutes to shops and parking outside cottage. Fantastic week in Masham to see the Grand Depart. Our friends are walkers and will probably revisit another year.

About the location

MASHAM

Ripon 9 miles; Bedale 6 miles; Northallerton 14 miles.

The historic little market town of Masham is situated in the lower reaches of pretty Wensleydale alongside the River Ure. Set in gently rolling farmland, the town boasts a huge market square, where a Wednesday market has been joined by a popular Saturday market. There are lots of walks around the area, including a 10-mile walk along the Ure, arguably one of the best in the UK. The town boasts a good range of crafts, galleries, shops, restaurants and pubs and has become best known perhaps as the home of two breweries Theakstons of Old Peculiar fame and the Black Sheep Brewery, which now brews 11 million pints of beer a year! The popular towns of Ripon, Thirsk, Northallerton, Richmond and Harrogate are an easy drive away. With so much to see and do in the area, this is a great place for a holiday in all seasons.
