We booked to stay at Bridge End last New Year and had an amazing experience staying here in Grassington so we decided to book again for this New Year. We were not disappointed with our stay. On arrival we were welcomed with a clean and warm cottage, and a welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk and biscuits were provided. The last occupants had taken the pepper mill but another was ordered and dropped off at the property within a few days. The kitchen has recently been refurbished to an excellent standard. The open fire has been changed to a log burner which we have used most nights. Everything at this location is on your doorstep, the walks along the river are to the left as you leave the property and the village is up the hill on your right. The Forresters pub up the road was a great place for a drink with the log fire roaring. We walked to Burnsall along the river and called for a drink at the Red Lion on New Years Day which took about three hours round trip. The location is very quiet as we are the last property down the hill apart from the walkers passing by. We are still here taking in the last couple of days and I cannot recommend this property enough. This year, I booked directly with the owners of the property which I would also advise.

January 2022

We are still here whilst I write my review and really don’t want to leave. This house is beautiful and the kitchen well equipped for a party of 8 including two children and a dog. There is practically everything you could need. The views from the house are spectacular and the town is a five minute walk away. I love the fact there are two sitting rooms, we would light the open fire on an evening and retire with a glass of wine… or two! I will definitely return here maybe in the summer to appreciate the garden and views in the early morning and late evening.

It was a great holiday.. Fantastic location. And a beautifully presented cottage with great facilities. My only concern was that prior to booking I had asked (Sykes) if the basement room could be made up as a double to accommodate our party. Sykes told me that that could be done, and on that basis I made the booking. However, when I spoke the owners of the cottage itself for final arrangements, they said they know nothing of this request and it could not be facilitated. This was a shame and sounds like a failure of communication between Sykes and the owners.

Had a fab weekend here , amazing location with beautiful views of the Dales The house is spacious with seperate lounge area’s , which was good Bedrooms are nice , a double with the remainder singles ( i enjoyed the bedroom in the lower part of the house) it was nice & cool( which was a bonus in the hot spell we had) Both bathrooms had powerful showers The house had everything you needed The garden was to die for, amazing scenery and a summer house was a nice touch Grassington village was a short walk away I only have a few suggestions to make: A parasol would of been useful - due to baking sunshine Larger fridge/freezer would be useful being located in the kitchen area All beds to have cotton sheets - some had silky covers Overall an amazing house ! Would def stay here again !

Mrs Hindmarch

December 2018

Great location and fantastic setting

Mrs Wheeldon

This is a lovely cosy house.. The pictures don’t really do it justice. We had a lovely Christmas with the six of us augmented by local family visits for meals and games. I was nervous about cooking Xmas dinner in a holiday home kitchen but I need not have been. The double oven functioned perfectly and our large turkey just squeaked into it. A complete success. In between meals we walked up and down the river and over the moor. Everyone agreed it would have been hard to better.

Mrs Schmidkonz

July 2018

We had a wonderful time at Bridge End.. Even the weather was fine. Bridge End is a well equipped house, comfortably and clean, with a lovely garden and fantastic view.

Alison w

May 2018

Stayed here for a special break with my family , sisters special birthday. The weather was kind to us which meant we could enjoy the lovely garden and river views. The house is so comfortable, plenty of space for 7 of us. Comfy beds and very nice bathrooms. A ten minute walk into Grassington. Fabulous dinner at Grassinton house and an equally delicious Sunday lunch at The Black horse inn. Would definitely stay again. Xx

Mr Deakin

April 2018

A cottage that provided one of the most wonderful views in the Dales.. Cottage full of facilities and character.Spacious rooms,a beautiful landscaped garden,but would have liked it to have been securely enclosed so that we could have let our dog run free. Walks in abundance .Whats not to like and enjoy ...

Mrs Deane

March 2018

The location of this house really could not be better - incredible views and easy access to beautiful walks.. Really comfortable house with good facilities and a very helpful owner who clearly wants visitors to enjoy their stay. It comfortably accommodated our family of 6 and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. We've been twice and have already booked in for a third visit.

Ms O'brien

1 Bridge End is a really lovely house, which has been furnished with care and attention. Plenty of room for 8 people. The location could not be better, the views are stunning and the Dale Way is right in front, perfect!

Mrs Phythian

November 2015

This was one of the best houses we have stayed in. It is in an excellant position, only a couple of minutes walk from Grassington and with spectacular views. The house itself is decorated beautifully and is very comfortable. It was also reasonably priced for the size and condition of the house. I would recommend 1 Bridge End to anyone wanting to visit Grassington and we hope to stay there again.

Mrs Bates

September 2015

The house was in a great position overlooking the River Wharfe and close to the village. The views from the lounge were excellent and there were a lot of walks that we could do directly from the house.

Mrs West

We loved the décor, it was particularly tasteful and reflected a high standard of interior design. We also loved the garden space and aspect overlooking the river.

Kaff50

August 2015

I stayed at this cottage with my sister and her 2 children. Although the weather wasn't brilliant we enjoyed walks along the river with the dog and sitting in the garden in the sunshine making the most of the amazing view. The cottage was scrupulously clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. I would recommend this cottage to anyone who enjoys walking, views and the beautiful dales countryside.

Mrs Johnson

This is a fabulous cottage with amazing views. One of the highlights of our week was sitting in the garden in the sunshine. The house was beautifully furnished and decorated and had everything we needed. Being able to walk from the door was brilliant so we kept car use to a minimum. We hope to return next year. Thank you.

Mr Weller

Mr Wallace

August 2014

The view from the house is incredible. Having BBQs in the gorgeous garden, looking over the river whilst drinking cold lager is one of the highlights of my summer. Highly recommend this property.

Mrs Postans

July 2014

The house was in an excellent position with stunning views and a lovely garden.There was no need to use the car for the shops or the amenities. One of our best holidays.

Walker

The cottage suited ALL our needs. The dining area was lovely and cosy and had a table large enough to sit us all. We all loved the view from the cottage, we spent nights in enjoying good local food and wine watching the wildlife and river. We went on many walks around the cottage and visited the local hostelries where we enjoyed the drink, food and company of the locals. I would highly recommend this cottage.

Ms Hammond

May 2014

The view was the best of any holiday property we have ever stayed in and the house felt very generous and homely to our large family party. We were able to walk with our dog straight from the door. Fantastic.

Mr Pearson

April 2014

Great cottage in a great location. Ideal for a family holiday and walking in the Dales.

Guest

January 2014

We had a week at bridge end in October with family and friends, We had a great time. We loved the cottage it had every thing we needed, even the dogs felt at home. We certainly would book again.

Mrs Hellewell

December 2013

A lovely property.

Mr Mcfarland

October 2013

Situation of this property is superb, and the view from the sitting room is just fantastic. Lovely accommodation.

Bridge End 1 has ample space for six people, wonderfully and tastefully furnished rooms, and the most magnificent view out of the bay window of the living room. Hiking tours can be started right from the property, and still there is no car needed for grocery shopping - the "center" of Grassington is only a five minutes' walk away. Backdraws: The room in the basement felt a bit damp, so we did not use it (and we did not need to - there were enough beds for the six of us upstairs). And the traffic across the bridge that gave the house its name is a little bit loud, but the cars' noise mixes up with the very soothing rushing of the river.

Ms Watson-Cooper

September 2013

We thought the whole holiday was very good.

Mr Houghton

August 2013

Lovely cottage, excellent location and scenery. Fantastic views down the river and the Milky Way was visible on a clear night. Ideal for the larger family group.

Mrs Arras-Pretzler

The house is beautifully furnished with lots of little things that add a very personal and tasteful touch. Great location, you can walk into Grassington, and the view out of the living room is literally breathtaking. We really enjoyed our stay!

Mrs Davidson

May 2013

The cottage itself and its location in terms of its view and the local amenities-Fantastic!

Ms Bain

April 2013

Beautiful setting, wonderful views from front room.

Dr Helm

January 2013

Loved the location of the house and its riverside views, the lounges were very cosy and it was great to be able to have an open fire. We had everything we needed in the house and didn't have to bring lots of food and drink as we could get everything we needed in Grassington. We had a wonderful holiday, and walking in the snow from our door made it even more special.

Mrs Chisholm

December 2012

Beautiful and convenient location. Very nice fittings and decor in the house and lovely garden. Very well equipped kitchen. Loads of nice glasses/crockery and plenty of cleaning products. Good dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. Nice to have tea/coffee biscuit welcome pack provided.

Mrs Berry

September 2012

The house is beautifully decorated, comfortable and well-equipped. It is in a stunning location overlooking the river with fabulous views of Wharfedale but only five minutes walk to the centre of Grassington.

Mrs Harte

We had a superb time and have already booked for same time next year. It ticked every box! It impressed all members of the family and we have very fond memories of our time.

We had a faboulous week in 1 Bridge End - the photos did not prepare us for the wonderful location just yards from the riverbank. Great for walking and ideal for our dog - we all loved the summerhouse where early evening sundowners were enjoyed looking over the flowing river. The owners have equipped this house to the highest standard and have provided every possible home comfort which, together with the ease of walking into Grassington so easily, makes this a house we will definitely retrun to

Mr Copsey

July 2012

The owner was charming and extremely helpful and the house exceeded our expectations. We loved the location and the standard of the furnishings and equipment was very high indeed. We will book this house again.

Mr Jones

The house was great - really lovely decor and fresh throughout. We loved the clean fresh paintwork and the garden - we would definitely book it again.

Mrs Collins

May 2012

House, location, walks, pubs, information by email from owner and in the house, outdoor furniture, decor and refurbishment - everything really! We shall definitely be going again.

Probably the best equipped Cottage we have stayed in during the last 20 years. The owner has clearly tried to think of everything. We loved it.

Dr Curtis

The decor and size of the house along with the cleanliness and location. The views were spectacular.

Kate_on_holiday

Fabulously appointed house on the river. Beautiful interior design, attention to detail. Immaculately clean. Kids loved all the nooks and crannies to hide in, I loved the views, peace and quiet, and proximity to village (a short walk). Excellent place to stay with our kids aged 12, 9 and 6. Lots of stairs probably not suited to toddlers Only things to fault - the lack of provision of bath towels and wifi.

Mrs Mitchell

April 2012

We found the property delightful to stay in. It was more like being in a home, than a holiday let - comfortable all round. The garden and summerhouse were nice to sit in.

Ms Chilvers

January 2012

Bridge End is a stylish but homely place to stay in the Yorkshire Dales. It is furnished to a high standard and has a wonderful view of the river. The owner is very helpful; there is comprehensive information to enable guests to make the most of their stay. Grassington is a charming place with good pubs, internet cafe and shops within walking distance. There are wonderful walks accessible from the house.

March 2011

The house is lovely,although a little chilly in the extreme weather we had in January. The location is perfect for walking into the village( 5 min walk) There are some lovely walks down by the river and the view are stunning from the houe. I would love to return and experience the house in the summer months.

Mr Mrs Atkinson

August 2010

The cottage was lovely and the location was SUPERB. The view from the front room and from the main bedroom was outstanding. We loved it. I especially enjoyed all the wonderful walks straight from the doorstep.

December 2009

Delightful cottage with excellent facilities and fantastic walks from the door. I would certainly rent this cottage out again.

There are beautiful river views from the lounge, with great walks from the door of the cottage. The garden, which overlooks the river, is very pleasant.The cottage is very well equipped.The owners are most helpful. They gave us ideas of where to eat out in the locality, and places of interest to visit. We enjoyed our stay so much, that we have booked to return in 2010.

The cottage was great - really nicely furnished with everything we needed - and in a great location. The kids loved taking the dog down to the river and walking in to the village to go the sweetshop (just like childhood should be). We could walk for miles from the house (found a great book on the internet 'Yorkshire Dale Pub in the middle circular walks) and found great places for lunch. It rained heavily every day but we had a super time. Only disadvantage was the garden is not enclosed and the house is next to wuite a busy road but the house and location make up for this and we just made sure the dog was controlled.

Mrs Hyland

October 2009

Stunning river views from the lounge. A very central location for many great walks and sights. A very spacious property.

The views from the front of the house are breath-taking and there are so many walks from the doorstep and so many beautiful places to explore. The owner too was very helpful. We will certainly be visiting 1 Bridge End again.

Easy walk into the village with a good choice of local shops and great pubs, all of which let you take the dog into the bar. Walks straight from the doorstep mean that the car gets a break too!

Mr Edwards

The quality of the accommodation and its close proximity to Grassington. We are in fact hoping to stay there again next year if possible.

Mr Absolon

February 2007

The house was tastefully furnished. We were also pleasantly surprised at the amount of space, it seemed bigger on the inside than the outside! The view of the river from the sitting room was lovely, we saw Dippers from the window. Grassington is a great village.
