The cottage is well appointed, comfortable, clean, competitively priced and in an ideal location. I tell my friends that everything you need in Masham, shops, pubs, walks, breweries etc is âjust round the cornerâ from the cottage. Itâs in an ideal situation. I personally love Masham and have been coming here for over 20 years. Gromit Cottage is an ideal holiday home for anyone looking for a âreet grandâ Yorkshire holiday.
