Mary
The views from the house are fantastic. And the garden is lovely. The kitchen is well equipped. And itâs a short walk up to the village. Or a lovely walk along the river to Linton Falls. Then a steady walk up into Grassington. We will be back

It is in a great location to access Linton falls, just a nice stroll across the field then further on to the stepping stones which amused our teenage grandchildren. The house had everything we needed and we were blessed with the weather so enjoyed the garden, the only thing to note was the bbq has seen better days and is unusable due to broken leg. Grassington itself was very busy and we struggled to book for evening meal with a dog so forward planning would be advisable. We would recommend Bridge End and would definitely return at some point.

The views were wonderful. Plenty of room to spread out and very well equipped. It was the hottest day of the year whilst we were there but the house was cool. Everyone enjoyed their stay and the young grandchildren want to come again.
