About this property

Boasting two well-presented bedrooms, including one king-size and one single with an additional pull out bed, along with a shower room and additional cloakroom, Sunny Mount Cottage provides a pleasant layout for couples or small families. Both bedrooms have a variety of furnishings for you to store your personal belongings, with quaint windows allowing plenty of natural lighting.

Grassington is a small market town that feels like a village, home to a bustling and cobbled market square, lined with quirky shops and boutiques specialising in gifts and arts, as well as a superb selection of eateries from restaurants and bistros to pretty cafés and local delis.
Adding to this, the town hosts a monthly farmers market selling the finest fresh produce, along with the annual Grassington Music & Arts Festival where visitors can enjoy live shows and entertainment. Walkers will be interested in the 80-mile long-distance Dales Way footpath which runs from Ilkley to the charming village of Kettlewell and the peak Great Whernside, finishing all the way in Bowness-on-Windermere. There is also the beautiful scenery of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which is best explored on a thrilling cycle ride, making this an ideal base for outdoor enthusiasts. For days out, head to Skipton to see the 12th century fortress of Skipton Castle, visit the National Trust Owned East Riddlesden Hall or tour the White Scar Cave, the longest show cave in England!

The cottage was so comfy and well equipped and right in the middle of Grassington, handy for all the village amenities. Being able to park right outside the door was really useful, as parking spaces are at a premium in the village.
