A tasteful character cottage just a couple of minutes from the village Main Street. The cottage was lovely and warm and had everything needed for a great stay. This is our fourth stay in Grassington and Westgarth will definitely be our first choice for future visits.

A lovely cosy , comfortable cottage in the village of Grassington with it's own driveway for parking. It also has lovely views over the village across to the hills .We actually only used our car once as there are so many great walks from the house itself . The village centre is really lovely ( only a few minutes walk away ) with plenty of places to eat or just have a drink and the shops are all worth a visit. Would love to come back and stay in this cottage again 😊.
