“The property is in a perfect ...”

The property is in a perfect location for everything in Masham, the property itself is very good but lacks some personal touches like no soap in bathroom, somewhere to hang coats shoe rack etc minor things I know but needed.

“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

“What a great cottage, right where ...”

What a great cottage, right where you need it; close to everything but away from the noise. An excellent cottage, will recommend to friends and family and use it again myself. Like a home from home.

The cottage was warm and comfortable. There was plenty of local walks.

“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.
