  • Anne

    Wonderful welcome pack. Thank you for an amazing week.

  • Sally

    Such a spacious, comfortable, cosy house, decorated and furnished to an immaculate standard. A generous welcome pack greeted us and signalled what a good stay this was going to be and indeed was. Brilliantly situated with local wildlife in view, within walking distance of Grassington and welcoming local pubs. Dave and Brettle are wonderful hosts. Attentive, warm and interested without being intrusive. We will definitely book this gem again.

  • Penny

    Wonderful location..great view. Lovely additional touches, fresh flowers, chocs, speciality bread and homemade jam. Suggestions from previous visit had been carried out too. David and Brettle do an excellent job and are on hand next door if needed.
