Lovely cottage in a perfect location. Spacious bedrooms. Well maintained and comfortable. Well equipped with everything you could need. Stairs are very steep to the bedrooms.

Well equipped cottage and great position. We were able to park around the side of the end of terraces, which was a real bonus in Grassington. Lovely, private patio area out back to share breakfast, afternoon tea etc. Sadly, one of the settees was broken at the front, which meant it was sloped forwards making it a little uncomfortable. We loved our stay and we would recommend it.

Really recommend Norms Nook. Excellent location and really lovely cottage. Maybe not as suitable for very small toddlers as the stairs are steep although a stair gate is in use.Really appreciated the welcome basket.
