We’ve been coming to Grassington for a number of years and have stayed in various cottages, this was our first time at Old Milverton, and it won’t be the last.Surprisingly spacious and very well equipped, the cottage is in an exceptional location, if you didn’t want to travel anywhere once here you don’t need to turn a wheel. All local amenities are literally on your doorstep, and there are numerous walks from your front door.The cottage was very clean, very comfortable and well equipped. The owner couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating, and the welcome extends to both humans and their four legged companions (so many holiday let’s seem to begrudgingly allow pets, and them impose rules that are almost impossible to adhere to) the owner is fair and realistic about what bringing a dog on holiday entails, yet Old Milverton wasn’t in any way “doggy” - a credit to the cleaning regime employed.We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Old Milverton, it has hopefully become our “home from home” in Grassington, and we look forward to returning.
