Fantastic cottage and in a brilliant location. Parking easy too. We loved our week in Grassington staying in this lovely house. Quick and easy walk into town with all the amenities. We would definitely stay here again. Very comfortable and clean and the kitchen is well equipped with everything you could need. Thank you

Really lovely location in our favourite village, with ample parking and spacious accommodation. Tucked away, but only a 5 minute walk to all the amenities on offer in the village. Lovely walks from the door. Comfortable accommodation. We had a lovely week. Will be back.

A tasteful character cottage just a couple of minutes from the village Main Street. The cottage was lovely and warm and had everything needed for a great stay. This is our fourth stay in Grassington and Westgarth will definitely be our first choice for future visits.
