We have been to Riverside Cottage Grassington many times.. That tells you that we know we will always have an enjoyable stay. The owner, Cathy, had taken especial care on this occasion to meet the expectations in terms of Covid 19 and we felt very comfortable to visit even in these difficult times.

Mrs Bailey, July 2020

More than lived up to expectations.. Hosts were welcoming, friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Beautiful view from living room - could almost sit there all day watching the changing moods of the river. Very well equipped - lacked for nothing.

Ms Thompson

January 2019

A really lovely, comfortable flat.. One of the best equipped S/C properties I have stayed in. Plenty of room for 2 people, loved having a Kingsized bed, plus lots of storage. We enjoyed the quietness at night, along with the proximity to the centre of Grassington, making a pleasant morning walk for papers and croissants. I don’t think the website photographs do the property justice..

Mrs Earl

August 2017

A very nice apartment in a great location

July 2017

The owners of the property live next door and are very friendly, hospitable and helpful while remaining unobtrusive.. Nothing is too much trouble. The position of the apartment is central for visiting many parts of the Yorkshire Dales and the views from the main living area are wonderful with plenty of stimulating things to see near the riverside.

This cottage is beautifully located when it is not a building site. I booked this cottage about nine months prior to my stay. A few days before my arrival the owner contacted me to explain that there was building work going on and we "might" be disturbed. At such short notice my wife and I decided to risk it until 2 days before we were due to take possession the agent, Sykes Cottages, rang us to say the booking was cancelled due to builders cutting through the power supply cable. At such short notice the only acceptable alternative was a more expensive cottage. When I approached the owner asking that they compensate me for the additional cost they refused. I actually called at the site and it was indeed a building site with mechanical diggers all over the place. This is the second time in 3 years that this owner has done this to us and on both occasions because of building work. A most unsatisfactory experience.

Mr Lamb

Lovely accommodation in a fantastic setting right next to the River Wharfe - stunning panoramic views over the river and Dale beyond, from fully glazed bay window facing South West.. The owners welcomed us personally and made us feel right at home - and were very friendly and helpful all week. We had a brilliant holiday, and are already looking forward to staying there again.

My Husband and I stayed here with our 6 month old Puppy for a short vacation in February. The accommodation is lovely, clean and very spacious. We absolutely loved the view from the sitting room and enjoyed having our early morning cuppa watching the babbling river and the ducks. Grassington itself has some lovely little shops and a few hostelries and cafe's so you can enjoy a cold glass of something or something more warming. it is literally a 5-10 minute walk into Grassington. The owners are really lovely and nothing is too much trouble should you need anything. We will definitely be back :)

Mr Lamb, May 2017r

Everything in the cottage was clean and in abundance.. The couches and beds were so comfortable too, there was plenty of room for everyone to sit down. The views were exceptional and it was in walking distance to the town. It was also warm and cosy. We all loved it and would return again.

A quiet cottage in a lovely position which enabled us to head straight out onto footpaths, without taking the car. There was also a good bus service if required. Local shops useful for newspapers and groceries. Would definitely book again.

Mrs Chatterton

The owners were very friendly and accommodating. Everything was spotlessly clean and everything we could possibly need had been provided. The views from the sitting room and sun room were glorious.

October 2013

The service was good. The owners had their apartment above us, we had our privacy. The apartment had everything we needed and the beds were good. The view was wonderful and it was only a few minutes walk to the centre of Grassington . We had a dog with us and we could make lovely walks nearby. It is a pity that the Yorkshire Dales and this apartment are not situated in Holland. Otherwise we certainly visited it again soon.

We had a very good week away as the view was wonderful from the apartment. We also have a dog and went on long walks.

July 2013

A very warm welcome given. The owners live on-site and were there if we needed them without being intrusive. The view from the lounge window was magnificent; a fantastic Dales scenery. The position just outside this popular village was ideal and central for exploring Wharfedale and Wensleydale, and easy to get to the town of Skipton. We would certainly return to this property when next in the Yorkshire Dales.

This cottage is superb. Close to the lovely village of Grassington (less than 5 mins walking), nice and private at the end of a row of cottages with a parking space. It is very well equipped, modern and cosy with plenty of room for 2 to 4 people. The views from the living room and sun room are of the River Wharfe and the bridge into the village. The riverside footpath can be accessed close to the cottage, which is ideal for those visiting with a four legged friend wanting to walk. We visited over the New Year period and even the unbelievably wet weather didn't spoil our stay as the cottage is so homely and comfortable. This must be one of the best equipped cottages anywhere and the owners are very welcoming but not intrusive even though they live very close by. It is a credit to the owners who have done a magnificent job in creating this special place!
