Area
Grassington is one of the most charming villages in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Traditional stone cottages and shops are clustered around the cobbled market place, offering exceptional shopping facilities for a village of this size, with a monthly farmer's market offering a mouthwatering range of organic and homemade local produce. Situated on the River Wharfe, with the extensive Grass Woods to the north of the village, this is a superb walking area. Down dale is Bolton Abbey with the Abbey ruins, the Priory and the famous "Strid Walk". A little further is the elegant town of Ilkley, overlooked by the famous Ilkley Moor. Up dale are Kettlewell and Buckden boasting spectacularly beautiful limestone scenery. With many other beauty spots scattered throughout Wharfedale, Grassington provides a great base for exploring the local area and all that the Dales have to offer, with Brontë Country and York also being within easy motoring distance.

From heather-clad moors and limestone scars, to market towns and the steady pace of country life - the sublime Dales await you! Where else in Britain is it as satisfying to sit and do nothing as it is to explore the numerous pursuits on offer?

Just spent weekend at lotties loft cant praise it enough already booked for next year . In centre of village this beautiful apartment is immaculate fully stocked with everything you need . Owner should be very proud

Miss Mckinlay

October 2020

The photographs don’t do justice to this lovely apartment.. The high beamed ceilings make it really spacious (with remote controlled velux windows) as does the glass door to the outside space at the back. The stairs in are quite steep which may be a problem for some and parking isn’t easy but can usually be found at the very top of the village. You can load and unload at the door if this is the case. The central location is fantastic as there are numerous walks from the door and the fish and chip shop two doors down (limited opening hours) is very handy! I’d recommend this apartment without hesitation. I loved it!

Mr Johnstone, September 2020

September 2020

Lovely apartment in the heart of grassington.. The dressing room provided that additional storage space so you didn’t feel clustered. Beautifully decorated, everything you need in the kitchen

Mrs Weaver, September 2020

Excellent well equipped appartment, right in the heart of Grassington.. Really made our stay enjoyable especially in such a dog friendly area in the Dales

Mrs Beetham, September 2020

Super place everything you need is there fantastic spot to be when exploring grassington which is a beautiful village.. Fabulous walking from here could not be improved we will return

Miss Mckinlay, October 2020

Perfect location, lovely little apartment..

Mrs Harman, August 2020

August 2020

We had a great week at lotties loft.. The accommodation was really well kept and had everyone needed, even some face masks! Location was perfect for us, right in the centre of Grassington, so great access for some lovely walks. 3 pubs, a chip shop and an Indian takeaway gave enough variety to eat out every night!!

Mr Greenwood, August 2020

Great accommodation, ideally located to enjoy the delights of the Yorkshire Dales.. We have been using Sykes for many years now and never had a problem.

Miss Metcalfe, September 2020

It was exactly what I was looking for.. Home from home. As someone who was until very recently shielding as a result of being on the 'extremely high risk' with respect to Covid-19 I wanted to stay somewhere which would enable me to be self-sufficient. Lottie's Loft more than delivered on that requirement. Thanks for a very carefully thought out accommodation which was absolutely spot on for me.

Mrs Dennia, August 2020

July 2020

Have stayed at Lotties Loft a few time, the last time being 5 years ago.. The property has been refurbished since last there and was very good before but even better now. Position of property in the centre of Grassington is superb.

Mr Wheatley, July 2020

February 2020

Recently refurbished this cottage was just perfect in every way and is centrally located.. Home from home springs to mind.

Mr Chapman, February 2020

December 2019

Lovely cottage, in a Great location, with great facilities, and home comforts..

Mr Mottram, December 2019

November 2019

Excellent location in the heart of Grassington.. Cosy apartment. Perfect for a weekend away. Very helpful and accommodating owner.

Mr Driver, November 2019

Used this cottage for 10 years always good and welcoming Christmas cake and wine on arrival thanks to mrs smallwood

Mr Hurrell, October 2019

October 2019

Lovely cottage in a great location in the village, will return

Mr Mcdonald, November 2019

Our stay at Lotties loft was perfect and so well located in Grassington.. Very enjoyable!

Mrs Wade

April 2019

Very good accommodation.. Comfortable bed, instant heating, lots of hot water, walks from the door, bus stop nearby. Only drawback is no parking and packing/unpacking car in narrow street outside and getting luggage up the stairs before traffic builds up behind. Take as few containers as possible (unfortunately, we had lots of carrier bags with boots, spare boots, last minutes bits and bobbins!). We'd definitely go again but be more organised. The chip shop next door (no smell) was excellent.

Mrs Gowland

March 2019

Lovely cottage, warm and cosy with comfortable furnishings in a fantastic location.. The owner had thought of everything from tea towels and washing up liquid to tea and coffee and soap. A lovely bottle of wine was left for us on arrival which was very thoughtful and much appreciated.

Mr Rosier

February 2019

Amazing studio, great location with all the facilities on the door step.. Great location for an easy relaxing holiday..

Mr Holt

November 2018

Great location in the centre of Grassington.. Nice and comfortable and a great base for walking and visiting in the area. Only drawback is lack of parking but easily solved by buying a weekly car park ticket which is also valid in many other car parks in Yorkshire. We will be back.

Mr Mcdonald

USED THIS COTTAGE FOR MANY YEARS ALWAYS PERFECT

Mr Moses

October 2018

Was a nice cottage but the absence of parking was not highlighted and whilst not an issue for us , could be a problem for less mobile guests..

Mr Janes

September 2018

Property very well situated in Grassington, which is such a nice area for walking.. Superb presentation - rooms decorated nicely and clean. All arrangements went very smoothly. An excellent holiday.

Miss Cawkwell

August 2018

Perfect base for a holiday, everything on the doorstep.. Lottie's Loft is very homely, beautifully set out and more spacious than expected. We loved it. The only thing to be aware of is, if like us you have a large elderly dog, the stairs proved to be a bit of a challenge for her.

Mrs Wilson

Lovely apartment in a lovely village.. Nice, clean and everything that you really need. However I must feel I need to warn anyone who is infirm or disabled that the stairs up to the apartment are extremely steep and after a days walking were very difficult to climb. Didn't stop my enjoyment of the area though or the actual apartment once tucked up back inside.

Mr Withers

July 2018

Small touches missing eg toilet roll in tissue box, wobbly pan handle, greasy smell near bed, cupboards needed a clean.. Cracked glass.Noisy mornings with either bins or beer barrels and late night music on Sat from local pub.Could be better.Very good situation for village and nicely decorated.Bright bathroom.

Mrs Weaver

June 2018

This was a real gem.. Perfectly placed and beautifully furnished . Everything you could think of was supplied. Very dog friendly town made it a real pleasure. Made to feel very welcome we intend to return

Mr Parkin

May 2018

The studio cottage is beautiful and would highly recommend it, ideal location within the village, very comfortable and extremely well equipped.. An absolute pleasure staying here and we had a fantastic relaxing break. Thank you.

Sarah M

February 2018

this flat was amazing we had a fabulous time, it was our honeymoon but it was unexpectadly cut short due to a burglary at our house. we contacted the company and they were very helpful. we will definately book to go again or if not the blacksmith cottage below. pet friendly too.

Once again another wonderful stay a Lottie's Loft.. Will definately be back soon.

Mr Hyland

December 2017

The cottage is really clean and comfortable very cosy, cetral to local pubs.. We have already booked for next year.

Mr Gibbon

Lottie's Loft is a lovely flat, and more than met our expectations.. There were Christmas decorations up, and the little gifts were a lovely touch. Everything worked well although the kitchen taps dripped a bit. A great place to stay for a walking holiday in lovely Wharfdale.

Mrs Chapman

October 2017

Once again a wonderful stay at Lotties Loft.. It has everthing we look for in a cottage and more. Would definately recommend.

Mr Purdue

September 2017

The cottage was exactly what we wanted and exceeded our expectations.. Perfect location in a beautiful place.

PhilTandy

August 2017

This is a well-appointed and tastefully decorated property, but a bit cluttered for my liking. It is located next to a fish and chip shop, which fortunately is only open for brief periods each day (and not late at night). Parking is problematic. The village square is nearby, but you are only supposed to park there for maximum 2 hours during the day. We left our car in the Yorkshire Dales National Park car park in Hebden Road , about 1/4 mile away - £15 for the whole week. The kitchen is in the bedroom/living area, with separate small box-room to store clothes. Bathroom is bright and modern with over-the-bath shower. Nice-sized fridge but no freezer compartment, so again a bit of an issue if you buy food for the week and want to self-cater, as the nearest shop is a Spar. The flat is in a great spot for walking from and the surrounding countryside is stunning (there are no views from the flat).

Mr Gray

May 2017

Lovely cottage and area people very friendly will definitely be visiting again

Mrs Foley

June 2016

Lottie's Loft is a beautiful accommodation. We particularly liked the setting, the walks from the house and the relaxation!

Mrs Taylor

May 2016

Very relaxing place to stay in the centre of village near all amenities.

Mrs Mclaughlin

March 2016

We had an excellent weekend break, could not fault the accommodation, but don't want to let everyone know about this little gem!

Miss Donlin

January 2016

A beautiful apartment. We would definitely recommend and will be back again.

Miss Dare

June 2015

Lottie's Loft is a beautiful place to stay, so central which is nice. We had such a fantastic time, we were so comfortable in Lotties Loft so it really felt like home.

Whitfjas

May 2015

Read the reviews and based my booking on what I read. When we arrived Lottie's Loft was better than we imagined. It was clean, cosy and kitted out well for our stay. Loved the decor, comfortable bed and the vaulted roof space with Velux windows added to the beautiful character of the accommodation. I would not hesitate to book here again as we loved our stay here and had a wonderful time exploring the Dales. Grassington is a really lovely village, horrible to be back home!

Mr Fellows

The apartment and location were both fantastic!

Mr Sheppard

April 2015

The cottage was really well located just off the village square, it was comfortable and well laid out with all the facilities we needed for the week.

Miss Logan

March 2015

We loved Lottie's Loft. The décor was very pretty and it was so well equipped. The location is ideal for walking and there are some lovely pubs within walking distance. The area was really friendly as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

January 2015

Lottie's Loft was a beautifully decorated and well presented cottage in a perfect location for all amenities and walks.

Mrs Colling

December 2014

We love everything about Lottie's Loft. It was so cosy comfy and very clean. Also it's central.

Mr Thomas

November 2014

A well furnished and equipped property located near the centre of the village that accepted pets. Ideal for walking the Yorkshire Dales.

Mrs Dixon

October 2014

We have stayed around the Grassington area for several years and this was our first attempt at self catering. We have a dog and it was quite satisfying to find a property so well appointed that we could still take our dog along. The property could not be situated in a better spot. If you consider the parking in the town we had only a short walk to drop off and collect our baggage. The property itself was a real bonus and we all loved it. The owners who we contacted to arrange keys etc, were brilliant. We shall return!

Mr De Flander

September 2014

This must have been the most neat, clean and hygienic place we have ever been. There was a very nice welcome gift from the owners. The location was ideal, right in the centre of Grassington. This was an ideal to start the long walks in the fascinating Dales and come back for a good meal in one of the warm and cosy pubs or restaurants. It was extremely dog friendly too! We really had one of our best vacations here.

Guest

August 2014

absolutely lovely, it had everything we needed and more and was conveniently situated in the middle of the village. the only problem was, unknown to me I had booked the accommodation when grassington festival was on. because of this we couldn't drive up to the door to unload as stated in the literature and had to find a back way into the village and then do several trips to unload. this was difficult due to our ages and disabilities. the festival is on at the same time every year and I feel that we should have been told so that we could arrive before the road was closed off or else arrive later in the day when it reopened. there was a very unhelpfull " jobsworth " character manning the road closed barrier who actually told us we couldn't get to the cottage that day !! not a good start to our holiday, however someone else told us about the back way into the village and we took things from there

Mrs Clarke

June 2014

We loved Lottie's Loft, it was perfectly situated in the middle of the village and had everything that we required. It was spotlessly clean and comfortable. We had lovely weather for most of our stay and Grassington was perfect for reaching other parts of the Dales.

Mr Wayne

May 2014

We went to chill out for a few days and we did that, very enjoyable!

Miss Piggott

February 2014

Lottie's Loft was a delight - very comfortable, cosy and well-equipped. The apartment was warm and beautifully decorated to a high standard. The kitchen is small, but very well equipped. The bed is super king-size and very comfortable. The apartment is quiet and yet in the very centre of the village, 1 minutes walk to pubs and shops. I would definitely recommend a stay in Grassington at Lottie's Loft.

Ms Kirk

January 2014

We had a lovely time at Lottie's Loft. The accommodation was of a high quality: well furnished, warm, cosy and had everything we needed. We found the location was perfect for a short getaway. We really enjoyed our break and have already recommended Lottie's Loft to our friends and family.

Mr Gibson

October 2013

Very comfortable compact accommodation, in a beautiful area, exactly as described. A very enjoyable break.

Dr Jones

September 2013

Lottie's Loft was gorgeous, cosy, comfortable and very conveniently situated in the village. We enjoyed lots of lovely walks around Grassington and the surrounding countryside. The local pubs and cafe's served excellent food. We would love to return to Lottie's Loft for another holiday in the future.

Mrs Sarchet

The apartment was cosy and well furnished. The bed was really comfortable. Everything we needed was there and it was clear that a lot of thought had gone into making it a perfect stay. We found the accommodation ideal for our needs, and would highly recommended to others. The owner was really helpful too.

Ms Mackworth

June 2013

The weather was absolutely superb, it could not have been better! We thought Lottie's Loft was ideal. We loved Grassington, as did our dog too, and the central location of the property was ideal. It was lovely to stay in a genuinely old property, with such wonderfully thick walls, and character, and yet to have such warmth and modern comfort.

Joe M

This was a wonderful place to stay. The road is narrow being the width of a single car and one pedestrian. Having said that unloading and loading wasn't a problem. We managed to park in front of the town hall everyday except the Friday but this was the start of Grassington festival and parking was available at the back of the town hall and the farm above. Although WIFI was available in all the pubs nearby, and nearby is as close as few yards down the road, it would have been a lot more convenient to have had it on the premises. Our need for WIFi was to plan trips and gain history and upload photos. We were more than happy not to be on the receiving end of emails. Please don't let any of these comments put you off because it is a great place to stay!

Kip

May 2013

We have stayed many times in Grassington, but this was our first time in Lottie's Loft. It won't be our last. The studio is well appointed, scrupuilously clean and nicely decorated and furnished and in keeping with the character of the area. Both the large double bed and the settee are very comfortable and the whole studio is surprisingly spacious. The location can't be faulted, adjacent to the small church yard and literally seconds from the village square. Ideal for a romantic getaway to the Dales.

Miss Couch

April 2013

The cottage was packed with charm, well equipped and exceptionally clean. We look forward to returning next year!

Mr Shaw

March 2013

Great place to stay, felt like home but with the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales on the doorstep. Really cosy and clean. Would we return? Absolutely!

Mrs Green

Wonderful property and a great area for a break.

December 2012

I have rented this cottage a few times now and really love it. Its so cozy and central. I Wouldn't go anywhere else in Grassington

Mr Critchley

Our second time at Lotties Loft and as before, we loved it. Cosy, warm, lovely decor, perfect for Grassington Village centre. I would recommend it unreservedly. We shall be going again.

Mrs Callow

November 2012

Lottie's Loft was cosy, warm and comfortable. There was everything we needed for a relaxing holiday.

Mrs Wells

October 2012

The cottage was beautiful and located near the main square.

Mr Potts

July 2012

It was our first visit to Grassington and it was very enjoyable, this coupled with the fact that I celebrated my 50th birthday while at Lottie's Loft made the experience even more enjoyable and will be a memory I cherish. The central location of Lottie's Loft was very good.

May 2012

Lottie's was everything and more than we needed for our Christmas break in the Dales. From the moment we entered the property we knew it was just what we wanted, the owners had made a proper effort, with Christmas gifts for both of us and a small but lovely Christmas tree trimmed up to give the apartment that festive feel. It is ideally located right in the centre of Grassington, close to all the amenities and hostelrys. It was very well equipped and in pristine condition. The owners very kindly advised us where to park our car as parking is of a premium in Grassington. Say what you liked best or least, this is easy as the cottage was very good, unfortunately Sykes nor the owners can do anything about the weather which was rubbish!

Mr Atkins

January 2012

The accommodation was first class, centrally located making it easy to get out and about. The apartment was cosy, warm and welcoming. The owners made us feel at home by providing some Christmas presents on our arrival, a nice touch.

December 2011

A fantastic cottage! Lottie's Loft was the perfect haven from which to enjoy Grassington. I would recommend it unreservedly and we shall definitely be returning!

Ms Kiersey

October 2011

I adored Lottie's loft - it was such a delightful cosy retreat. The furnishings and decor were perfect and in keeping with the style of the property. It was also comfortable and well equipped. The location was ideal too - centrally located in the heart of the picturesque village of Grassington.

Most comfortable, clean and cosy apartment. Everything was well organised both by Sykes Cottages and the owner. Would certainly recommend to family and friends.

Mr Ward

September 2011

The cottage was nice and central to the shops, you could pop out for items easily. The cottage had a cared for and cosy atmosphere. It was very comfortable.

Mrs Dyke

August 2011

The apartment studio was ideal for 2 people. Very comfortable and clean with all amenities. It made a lovely retreat from city life and the village of Grassington was so tranquil. The local people were most friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. Have been telling family and friends about our holiday especially the accommodation.

Martin & Irene

The apartment was very homely with tasteful decor / furnishings. The kitchen and bathroom were modern, well equipped and clean. It was a pleasure to return to after a day out. The location is excellent being in the centre of the village and also convenient for touring the Yorkshire Dales. Although there is no parking at the property it was easy enough to park free within the village.

Mr Crawley

July 2011

The apartment was conveniently situated in the village centre and was very pleasant to return to each evening. It was excellent value for money.

Mrs Pickard

June 2011

We love Grassington. The people are so friendly and dog friendly. Had some great food in the local pubs and restaurants. Lotties Loft is comfortable and homely.

Miss Baker

May 2011

The weather was wonderful, so was able to go for lots of walks. Perfect location for things to see and do.

Mr Hall

The loft is very welcoming we have been twice before. It is cosy and very well kept and presented. Obviously the owners take great care to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable.

Mrs Halprin

March 2011

The cottage and village were both perfect for our stay. The village was close to areas we wanted to visit (including the Lake District, York, and Peak District) and the cottage was the perfect size and comfort for us. Visiting from the USA, we were particularly charmed by the village!

Mrs Miall

October 2010

A lovely comfy cottage, in a beautiful location.

Mr Allenby

Central position, warm comfortable accommodation to come back to. Beautiful surroundings.

Mr Wignall

August 2010

Wonderful cottage! Wonderful village! Wonderful Yorkshire Dales!

June 2010

The location was central enabling us to walk out for meals without having to drive. We were very comfortable in the Loft and excellent eating at Grassington Lodge.

Mr Johnson

May 2010

The location was spot on! Very good standard.

Everything we wanted! Studio very comfy and clean. Meals in both pubs excellent, (The Black Horse Forrestors Arms).

Ms Evans

The cottage is a lovely romantic retreat and really well located for local walks. 5 The Square restaurant nearby is fantastic.

Mrs Mepham

April 2010

Grassington is delightful with every amenity you could possibly want. Perfectly placed for exploring the Dales and very dog-friendly.

Terry

The flat was warm and welcoming. We had a good idea of it's location having visited Grassington some time before. The village itself was quiet because of the time of year but it is not far from towns and tourist attractions for it to be an ideal base and a place of peace and quiet to return to. The flat had all the amenities necessary. The equipment in the flat made the stay very comfortable. We were not too sure about the rugs as they moved when trying to stand up. The bed was heavenly. We had friends visit us on two occasions but it was difficult to find enough seating without someone sitting at the table on a hard chair.

Rev Keen

February 2010

The location was excellent. The facilities and accessories in the flat couldn't have been better.

Ms Phillips

January 2010

Location was fantastic and the Loft was perfect for a base for walking. The property was a really high standard and had everything we needed. It was always warm and cosy after a day out in the snow.

Mrs Stewart

December 2009

A well designed, cosy and well equipped place. They had thought of everything. An excellent base for a short winter break, great walking, great Christmas shopping and great places to eat out, all close by. Hope to go back and do the same walks in the spring or the summer.

Took advantage of short break while our son in Geneva. Had a great time. Accommodation of a very high standard and very cosy. No issues with parking as found space in square each evening. Village delightful. Pubs all welcoming but food only average. Whereas mushy peas at the chippy took me back to my childhood. Would visit again.

Mrs Senior

September 2009

Apartment was cosy and comfortable. Good use of small space. Good location. Close to amenities but surprisingly quiet.

Mrs Jones

Lottie's Loft was beautifully decorated, homely and warm with loads of character charm. It was spacious enough to keep it cosy and romantic. The whole place was immaculately clean and very well kept, definitely 4/5 star accommodation. It was in a perfect position, literally a couple of minutes away from the shops and local pubs and Grassington itself is a lovely quiet and peaceful, but friendly village.

August 2009

The location was excellent for everything, walks, buses, shops, internet cafe, library. The decor was excellent, extremely pretty and good quality. Thoughtful arrangement of furniture for a bijou and compact apartment. It was quiet and just what we needed as a comfortable base, large and comfortable bed, nice lighting and window dressing.

Mrs Dent

Overall the property was very comfortable.

Mrs Haynes

Very convenient position in the town of Grassington.

July 2009

A lot of thought from the owners had gone into the furnishing of the property.

Ms Sewell

June 2009

A good place to stay for walking in the Dales, beautiful countryside. The accommodation was very well designed and it was very comfortable.

Mrs Bishop

Excellent position- well equipped.

Mrs Glover

March 2009

Accommodation was definitely conducive to a relaxing break. I can't think of anything which wasn't ideal.
