From the moment we arrived, we loved this accommodation. Kitchen had everything we needed, great beds and shower, comfortable furniture and just a feeling of being a well-loved and cared for property. It felt homely and had all the practical things you need. Instructions were clear. Grassington is a beautiful place. We had two cars and had no problRead moreem parking but it wasnt school holidays or a particularly busy time of year. The local buses worked well for both directions of start of Dales Way walk. Would be very happy to return either to walk or just to enjoy Grassington. Hide

We had a lovely stay at Ripley's Rest - a brilliant location 5 minutes walk to the village, with stunning walks from the doorstep, including the Dales Way. Kitchen was excellently equipped. And parking was very easy all week just round the corner from the cottage. Thank you hosts for making it so welcoming.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting. Parking was a bit tricky but managed to park on the road just up from the cottage all week. Getting in and out of the village is really tricky as the main road through the village is very narrow and can only fit one car through at a time - it really needs to be a one way system. We got stuck one day and it putRead more us off going out for a drive for the rest of the week. But the local area is stunning and plenty of walking opportunities. Hide

Superb location. Fantastic walks starting from the doorstep + the village centre in less than 5 mins walk. Good pubs in Grassington. Nice comfortable house. Just good to know: No toilets on the groundfloor and the stairs are quite steep. It was no problem for us but it may not be ideal for the lesser mobile person.
