A fantastic stay

The cottage was cozy, clean and welcoming, perfect for us. Grassington is a great location, we went on walks from the door both upstream along the river looping back through Grass Wood, and downstream to Hebden and a fine sandwich in the Clarenden Hotel. In Grassington we had a great evening meal in the Black Horse and also a tasty takeaway curry from Rozis which we picked up on the way back from the Fountaine Inn in Linton, well worth a 25 minute walk.

Grassington get-away

This is a very cosy cottage with a loved feel owing to the owners family connection with it. The location is tucked away in the village and there is zero noise or light pollution. If you want peace, tranquillity and coziness this is the spot. Plus the log burner is an absolute beauty & the free supply of seasoned logs completes the picture!

Absolutely perfect!

Everything about this little cottage is perfect! It is cute, clean, comfortable and a perfect location that is close to the square but not too close if you want to be away. My trip was a first time solo trip without a car and I was able to find everything very easily and felt very safe walking around town in the evenings and on daytime trail walks. I truly loved my stay at this cottage in Grassington! Check in and communication was very easy and responsive too. Thank you for sharing your little bit of heaven.

Cozy Cottage

We very much enjoyed staying at this little cottage- well located for hiking and the village is big enough to have plenty of amenities for eating, groceries, pharmacy but still quiet. The cottage was clearly well cared for and we had plenty of space for two of us. We especially enjoyed the bright breakfast nook and had everything we needed for light cooking. Would love to return to beautiful Yorkshire!

We really enjoyed this cottage. Very quiet area (a little hard to find). This was a very cozy adorable cottage that has everything you need. WiFi was great so we could stream ‘All creatures great and small’. Adorable breakfast nook for drinking coffee while looking outside.

About the host

Hosted by Janet McDonald

Host profile image
We are two sisters who have been coming to our family cottage since 1966 when we were small children. Our parents purchased the cottage when there was still livestock roaming in the fold, and we have had many happy holidays here! We now have grand children and share our favourite pastimes in this beautiful area with them.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is cosy but light and spacious. A quiet haven to relax and unwind in. You can forget about time, even your car, and explore some of the most beautiful scenery in the country straight from the door. You remain close to all the hustle and the bustle of this thriving Dales village whilst having your own private garden space for quieter moments.
