It was all very comfortable and well looked after. The location is also good, as it is in the centre of the village.

Parking is a issue in Grassington anyway but we managed to park near and didnât move the car all week.Good walking from the cottage . The cottage was clean and warm when we arrived, the beds are particularly comfortable , with good quality bedding. It would have been nice to have a basket of wood provided to start the fire on arrival. The only downside for us is the steepness of the steps , luckily there is a hand rail. Perhaps a hand rail at the side of the shower over the bath would be helpful. The kitchen is very narrow which doesnât come across on the information, but it well equipped.

Cons No welcome pack (unusual for holiday lets) No starter pack for log burner Kitchen too small. Heating didnât work, despite using the override function as per instruction so would have froze had it not been for the log burner. Front door is a vertical split door which is a pain, needs replacing. Old fashioned TV needs replacing
