• "Manna Cottage is exactly as described, if not better."

  The cottage is clean and comfortable and decorated to a high standard.The welcome pack provided was a lovely touch along with an information pack which was more than useful. The cottage central heating along with the gas fire provide a good mix of heating and was really comfortable. The site of the cottage in Main Street is just a pleasant walk to all of Grassington's attractions. The shops, pubs and cafes are all handy and their staff as well as the good folk of Grassington are both friendly and a pleasure to meet. Looking forward to another visit in the near future

  Thank you for your lovely comments. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your holiday in Grassington. Hope to see you again in the near future. Property Owner

• "Was quite worried about access, as Lane already narrow and house at the top covered in scaffolding."

  But no problem. One look at the visitors book confirmed our view. A quiet, clean cosy & comfortable cottage for couples. Very good quality fixtures fittings & accessories. We nearly gave up on the hob but persevered & got the hang of it. Likewise the gas fire, which we did need for evenings in. An ideal spot in the village, right at the top so you get a bit of exercise walking back up the hill, set back, so quite private and perhaps the time of year but totally quiet & still in the evenings, great for a good night's sleep. Only 2 other people mentioned the bongs from the town hall clock, but we got used to it and it was strangely comforting to know how many others had listened to them over the years. We just missed filming but the crew were setting up on our last day. Everything you want in the village & everything you need at the cottage.

  Thank you for your kind comments. I'm sorry that you had trouble getting used to the hob and gas fire - I am always on hand to give you some advice. I hope that you enjoyed exploring Grassington and the surrounding area and hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner

• "My wife and i really enjoyed our stay in your lovely cottage ."

  It was a great base to explore the surrounding area. We also enjoyed the peace and quiet of the cottage as we have very noisy neighbours where we live . The owners have done a great job on the cottage so take a bow. Only problem we had was the back door lock i think it needs some attention .Hopefully we will return in the future as there is so much to see in this part of Yorkshire . Thank you once again Patrick and Bev Doyle

• "A very cosy cottage decorated to high standards, very well equipped and spotlessly clean."

  Located just off the main street in the beautiful Dales village of Grassington, it is an ideal place for exploring wonderful Wharfedale and beyond. Plenty of walks directly from the door as well as local pubs, cafes and shops. The welcome bottle of wine, chocolates, milk and biscuits were a lovely touch too. There is a small parking space for one car outside the back door, but there are some free spaces in the village, a small carpark a little way up the hill and the National Park carpark is another option if friends are meeting up with you. We would highly recommend Manna Cottage for a Yorkshire Dales holiday base.

• "The cottage was well equipped with everything you could need, it was all of a high quality too."

  The only down side for us was the firmness of the double mattress,which was like lying on a board, however we appreciate not everyone likes a softer matrass, this did impact our stay, as after a walking day we didn't get a good sleep. The situation of the cottage was perfect and Grassinton and surrounding areas are beautiful. Everyone was so friendly. We ate mainly in the Forresters Arms which appears shabby but the food was beautifully, plentiful, freshly made and reasonably priced. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. Apart from the bed a very nice stay.

• "It was a lovely cosy cottage even in the damp weather - central to the village and its own parking space which was a bonus."

  The cottage was brilliantly equipped with everything that you would need - in the little things like tea bags, coffee, hot chocolate (which was lovely) - loved the little touches like a packet of chocolates and a pint of milk left for us. It was our first short break in a long time because of illness and it lived up to every expectation. Thank you for this.

  Thank you for your lovely comments. Shame the weather was rubbish. Hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

  It's very comfortable and well equipped - especially for cooking. Comfortable king size bed with good mattress, and big fluffy towels. Lovely location for walking from the door and for the town. And a good bus service to Skipton and dales. It was our second time in this cottage. And the owner is helpful and friendly.

• "Manna cottage is a lovely cottage ."

  However the locks on the back door and the out house are difficult to undo . Maybe people should be made aware of the town hall clock striking every hour especially through the night. The bed was hard and not very comfy to sleep on . It is in a good position in the village. A little more comfort would have been nice.

  I am sorry that your stay at Manna Cottage was not perfect. Unfortunately the wet weather has swollen the doors thus the locks are a bit stiff but this has been looked at by a joiner. The locals never notice the clock striking the hour but will ensure that a note is put in the visitor information book. The bed - this is a matter of personal preference. Property Owner

• "The kitchen was rather compacted, only about 10 inches of work surface."

  Living room, bedroom and bathroom were a good size. Shower was good. The garden belongs to the next door house, so can't be used. It was bit uncomfortable to have people walking by in the garden. The picture on Sykes is the front of the house from the garden not the entrance you use. Parking was a bit difficult. There is no allocated space.

  Sorry that your stay at Manna Cottage was good as you had hoped. I did explain to you when you rang, regarding the parking, there is an allocated parking space directly outside the cottage. We are very lucky to have this space as all the other cottages down the street have to park in the public car parks. Property Owner

  It was obvious from the moment we opened the front door that it was very homely, we ate out every night but the kitchen was well equipped to cook a meal for two. The host was very helpfully with answering any questions we had prior to our stay. We had a lovely weekend and will defiantly be going back.

  We expected a bit of noise at night but it was so peaceful, just the sound of the town hall clock chimes. The cottage is perfect for two with adequate facilities. I personally found the bed too hard and therefore uncomfortable, my husband had no problem sleeping! The bed linen and towels were all of very good quality. We love Grassington with the offer of wonderful walks from the doorstep, combined with very good eateries, we shall definitely return.

  Spacious lounge with efficient gas fire for chilly evenings (had to get on hands and knees for controls). The bedroom was also spacious with good quality beddng on comfy king size bed. Shower was good, always plenty of hot water, fluffy towels. The kitchen was very small (half width counter), but we did manage, it had all necessary appliances - microwave, fridge, washer/dryer (outside) and plenty of crockery/cutlery. Parking immediately outside the door was convenient, we only used the car one rainy day to visit Skipton. We loved walking from the door. The owners obviously look after this property very well. We hope to return.

• "Nice small cottage, well positioned in the middle of the village."

  There are some negative points. The kitchen is tiny with limited work space, the settee in the living room is small and very soft you can't sit on it for long, there are alternative chairs provided. There isn't any outside space. This is clear in the description but what isn't clear is the garden in front of the cottage belongs to the next door neighbour, who hangs her washing over the railings in front of the living room window. There is parking for one car but access is tight and you have to reverse out on to the road, this can prove tricky with on coming cars and pedestrians, there is alternative parking in the village. This cottage is a good base for exploring the Dales both by car and on foot.
