Great location, down a narrow single lane road, the detached barn is only a couple minutes walk to the Dales way with easy walks to Grassington and Burnsall. Good facilities, pint of milk and chocolate brownies a welcome surprise. If you want to use dishwasher and washing machine remember to bring your own supplies otherwise basics provided- washing up liquid, dishcloth, tea towel, hand soap and 1 toilet roll. Great WiFi, good reception for smart tv, a few books and games provided. Choice of separate shower or bath, hairdryer provided. Temperature of barn perfect, didn’t need to use heating or log fire (logs provided). Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful Cottage in a lovely location. We really enjoyed our weekend in the sunshine enjoying walks along the river and local area. So convenient for Grassington too.
