Pictures did not do the cottage justice. It was a beautiful mix of modern and old. There was everything you would need and more. I would return. Communication was also good. To be picky the sofas could do with being replaced as defo seen better days. A gripe for a lot of properties now is the checking in/out times. They have not gone back to pre-covid days. Check in 4pm is too late!

We were looking for a cosy cottage near Grassington and this was perfect! Not only was the cottage exactly what we wanted (cosy, well stocked with all the kitchen essentials, and the DVDS!), it was very close to the square and to some lovely, easy walks. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be going back next year!
