  Easy to find [thankyou Satnav] and parking was no problem - either outside, or across the street in a small layby.

  The cottage was immaculately clean and well presented - a bottle of wine on the table and tasteful, minimalist, Christmas decorations, were equally appreciated. Loved the oak furniture and the solid oak doors throughout the cottage. The bed was very comfortable and it was good to see the countryside from the upstairs window; albeit a distance away, and to spot the incoming weather! A well appointed modern bathroom, although, for those of a certain age, care is needed when stepping into and out of the bath : ). We used the multi-fuel stove, as I was suffering from a bit of a head cold, and appreciated the extra warmth it gave. Took a while to get used to the controls, but it gives out good heat. Poor weather, along with an aim to relax, meant that we only did a couple of canal walks, but really good to have this facility so close. Everything you need is in the kitchen, although it can be a little on the cool side when the wind blows from the west, however, the curtain isolates it nicely from the cosy lounge. There is the pub a short walk down the hill and a short walk further, a small Co-op at the garage roundabout, which has the basics and wood supplies. All in all, a pleasant Christmas break.

  Cottage was in an excellent location - Grassington highly recommended village to stay in.

  Think it would be useful if cottage had a list of places to eat in Grassington as luckily we found the fish and chip place on the last evening - lovely treat. Also check out the Corner House café - food was amazing. Tried a couple of the other tea rooms In Grassington and they were good aswell. Very well stocked Spar shop and awesome butcher. A list of nearest bigger supermarket and petrol facilities would have been useful for those people not familiar with the area - both found in Skipton (Morrisons and Tesco) having asked local shopkeeper. We cooked in the cottage at night which was fine for us- maybe the cottage needed a small set of weighing scales and a larger casserole dish than was provided but we managed ok. Did lots of walks around Grassington - great Dales Tourist information building in village with lots of local guides and maps - bought little book of 6miles and under walks around Grassington - the ones we did were ok for everyone. Overall had a great holiday with fantastic weather in a beautiful Yorkshire village - would recommend the cottage.

  Lovely location with great pub nearby.

  We enjoyed cycling along the canal and hillwalking around the area. The cottage was very nice, the kitchen well equipped and the bed comfortable. A major downside for us was that, in a very cold week in winter time, downstairs living area and kitchen was uncomfortably cold without the woodburner on (not practical to put on all the tine) There is a small electric wall heater set on a timer that the owner did adjust for us but it is just not man enough to heat the whole area in the winter. The kitchen has no heating and was literally like a fridge! I did ask for the extra mobile heater that the guidebook said was in the cottage, but was told they were using it next door so we weren’t given it! The owner did tell us that he would be upgrading the heating which is needed if they want to let the property in the winter. In the meantime I would suggest they put in an additional heater that guests can put on when they feel they need it.

  This is the second time we have used this fabulous cottage as a base for a cycling holiday in the Dales.

  The village, itself, is perfectly placed and has everything you could possibly need. The pubs and cafes are all really friendly and dogs are welcome everywhere. The village store carries a wide range of necessities and is open quite late everyday. The cottage is lovely and warm and very comfortable with sumptuous beds and a good hot shower. There is ample, free parking nearby and an outhouse/washroom which is big and secure enough to store a couple of bikes. The kitchen is well equipped and the lounge area is large and very relaxing. The recent addition of WiFi was a welcome bonus too. The owner.Joyce, was in contact to make sure that everything was OK and help was on hand if we needed it (we didn't!} All in - a lovely place to stay in a very beautiful part of the world. Well recommended!!

  The cottage whilst old and full of character which we loved could really do with a significant update, the bathroom in particular needs some serious attention and the kitchen is just not fit for purpose in my opinion.

  The drain in the kitchen sink had an unpleasant smell when we arrived and every time you used it. The tap was also leaking and needs replacing, There was a really dirty wooden chopping board left in the kitchen which had a bad odour so that went in the outhouse for the week, The toaster appeared to not have been cleaned out for some time also, information on the board was out of date and not all accurate, The outhouse was a good addition but is just not finished so it was not inviting to use the toilet or shower! great village setting with fantastic local amenities but sadly we will not be looking to book this particular cottage again, in my view this property is not accurately represented in your listing. Real shame as with a bit of upgrading this could be so much better!
