  Cottage is in an excellent position, just back from the village centre but still close to everything.

  Main bed extremely comfy and the power shower very refreshing! Nicely refurbished and warm cottage - if anything a little TOO warm as we couldn’t work out how to turn some of the radiators off. That meant having to keep the bedroom windows wide open which in turn meant we were disturbed by noise of passing traffic outside from very early morning most days and the church bells. Nice to be able to open just the top of the front door during the day to increase the fresh air flowing into the cottage. There was no mention of the relatively steep staircase in the website listing and also into the main bathroom as well as in and out of the back door to the yard - I have a knee injury and had I been aware of these, I probably wouldn’t have booked this venue; the listing really should mention this. Living room warm & reasonably comfortable but needs better lighting, we found it difficult to read once it got later than around 8pm. Kitchen facilities good but so small that only one of us could be in there at any one time!

  Nice small cottage, well positioned in the middle of the village.

  There are some negative points. The kitchen is tiny with limited work space, the settee in the living room is small and very soft you can't sit on it for long, there are alternative chairs provided. There isn't any outside space. This is clear in the description but what isn't clear is the garden in front of the cottage belongs to the next door neighbour, who hangs her washing over the railings in front of the living room window. There is parking for one car but access is tight and you have to reverse out on to the road, this can prove tricky with on coming cars and pedestrians, there is alternative parking in the village. This cottage is a good base for exploring the Dales both by car and on foot.

  Clean and cosy cottage.

  Spacious lounge with efficient gas fire for chilly evenings (had to get on hands and knees for controls). The bedroom was also spacious with good quality beddng on comfy king size bed. Shower was good, always plenty of hot water, fluffy towels. The kitchen was very small (half width counter), but we did manage, it had all necessary appliances - microwave, fridge, washer/dryer (outside) and plenty of crockery/cutlery. Parking immediately outside the door was convenient, we only used the car one rainy day to visit Skipton. We loved walking from the door. The owners obviously look after this property very well. We hope to return.

  A very cosy cottage decorated to high standards, very well equipped and spotlessly clean.

  Located just off the main street in the beautiful Dales village of Grassington, it is an ideal place for exploring wonderful Wharfedale and beyond. Plenty of walks directly from the door as well as local pubs, cafes and shops. The welcome bottle of wine, chocolates, milk and biscuits were a lovely touch too. There is a small parking space for one car outside the back door, but there are some free spaces in the village, a small carpark a little way up the hill and the National Park carpark is another option if friends are meeting up with you. We would highly recommend Manna Cottage for a Yorkshire Dales holiday base.

  Delightful cosy cottage beautifully restored and decorated.

  Particularly the fabulous shower and the most comfortable bed ever! A very festive welcome greeted us with fairy lights round the front door and a Christmas tree in the sitting room. Grassington village looked magical the houses all decorated and twinkling with fairy lights. The location of the cottage is excellent, shopping and traditional pubs just 2 minutes away. With plenty of walks straight out of the front door this is the ideal,location to explore this part of the dales, stunning views in every direction. We loved it all. Just one thing - a bedside light would be a good idea in the small bedroom.
