. The house is cleaned to a high standard and very well maintained. It is in a peaceful location with stunning views.Our two granddaughters loved the house and enjoyed lots of activities in the local town of Skipton. The banana cake was delicious as was the glass bottle of milk in the fridge, a lovely gesture from the hosts. I would thoroughly recommend Grange House for a holiday and hope to return in the near future.

Very clean & spacious with the bonus of a home baked banana cake to welcome us. Very tasty! A lovely village with a shop & pub close to Skipton & lots to do nearby. Would highly recommend Grange House.

Brilliant views from the living room upstairs and a great extra tv room next to the kitchen. Fantastic family accommodation, highly recommend this place, even to an extended family (extra tv room has a sofa bed) Hosts are very helpful without been in your face. Boot room great for muddy boots etc. It's an old barn conversion with bedrooms downstairs. One and a half mile walk along the pavements to skipton, quicker across county walks. Nice pub and shop in the village.
