Grassington has always been a lovely place for us to visit so to actually stay in the village was wonderful. The cottage was cosy and warm and had every we needed. Beds and super comfy and the cottage was spotless. Lots to see and do in the surrounding area and the village has lots of great pubs and eateries to choose from. We would definitely return. Thanks again.
