It is ideally positioned to explore the Dales from Skipton up to Hawes, and everything in between. The cottage itself is warm, comfortable and much improved since we started staying there. Sophie(owner) is local and nothing is too much to make your stay enjoyable. And there's a pub just across the road!!

A short walk from Grassington and the local shop in Thresfield has everything you need. Cottage is comfortable and the log burner a bonus due to the extremely wet weather we had while away. Beds are comfortable. Washing machine and tumble dryer provided. Definitely would stay again.
