Guests appreciate its great location, cosy atmosphere, and the thoughtful touches provided. The property is ideal for exploring the Dales, with easy access to local amenities and scenic walks. While most feedback is positive, a minor note is made regarding the temperature control in the cottage.
Guests consistently mention the cottage's cleanliness, describing it as 'lovely and clean' and 'immaculately clean', indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.
The location is frequently highlighted as a strong point, with the cottage being close to the village centre, local amenities, and offering easy access to beautiful walks, making it an ideal base for exploring the Dales.
Comfort is well-regarded, with guests finding the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable. However, one review mentioned the second bedroom being small for two adults, slightly impacting the perfect score.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-equipped kitchen and the inclusion of Netflix. However, one guest suggested the bathroom could use an update, and another mentioned issues with heating, which affects the score.
Several reviews mention thoughtful touches like tea, coffee, biscuits, and even washing machine capsules. While these are appreciated, it is important to note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

Fabulous cottage in excellent location. Easy access to local amenities. Short walk into the main street. Some fantastic walks along the river. Excellent pubs and cafes. We loved the Black Horse food was delicious. Would definitely recommend and hope to return as we love Grassington.
