Grisedale Barn is a spacious and well-located property, ideal for large groups and walkers seeking a sociable base in the Yorkshire Dales. Guests appreciate the ample communal areas, flexible bedroom arrangements, and proximity to scenic walks and local amenities.

The barn could be lovely but it is now very tired, most of the beds need replacing, the springs stick in your back and they are very creaky, the shower was very dirty, the screen didn't look like it had been cleaned for some time, there was a lot of grime on the shower head and enclosure. The windows are also very dirty.its all quite basic but we went for a long weekend, birthday celebration, we had a good time and it wasn't overly expensive so we was happy enough but without some refurbishment I wouldn't want to book again.

Whilst the property is certainly spacious, it is now beginning to look a little tired and requires some internal decoration. The cooker in the kitchen, although we were able to use it, is past it's best.One of the showers in the bedroom was dirty, lime scale on the cabinet screen and the shower head was filthy.The location was ok for ourselves as we love the walks in the area, you should be aware though that it is a 2 mile walk into Grassington.Regarding the cost of the accommodation, it appears that we got a deal with this property as for the same week in 2027 it is double the price. Without refurbishment I personally would not pay the new price for the this property.
