Everything you could possibly need and more. The place is so clean and comfortable. The beds are really comfortable too. It is situated in a nice quiet position yet so close to the beautiful village centre. It has the huge advantage of a private parking place. There are so many lovely walks from the doorstep to explore the picturesque area.

The house was warm and welcoming and exceptionally clean. Having an abundance of toilet rolls, washing powder, softener and washing up liquid was unexpected as they are rarely found in holiday properties. The beds were very comfortable and there was ample room for the four of us in the house. Parking was a bonus and the outdoor seating area felt very Mediterranean, we loved spending time out there. The lemon drizzle cake and wine were gratefully received, thank you. Overall our stay was first rate and we give it the highest rating on everything, we would love to go back again in the future.

Perfect weather with lots of walking. Grassington is a brilliant village with lots of pubs and cafes. A good bus service which means you can park up and forget about the car.
