  • "The advert speaks for itself, the cottage is fabulous, clean, comfy & warm, someone did point out in an earlier comment that the trick is to walk into the lounge first thing to activate the radiators which will switch themselves of if no movement is detected in the room."

    What a great idea. Don’t think you could be disappointed at all. Also important is the location, we visited at the onset of Autumn, when all the leaves are starting to turn their winter colours. Would imagine it would be just as lovely, but different, during all other seasons. Car park is a lot handier than we imagined, it looked a trek on the map but it’s only a short, pleasant walk from the cottage and it’s also where you can catch the bus into Skipton and a few other destinations. On the way to the car park it’s likely you’ll come across ”Chuffers”, he’s a lovely ginger cat who sets himself up on the bench by the cottages on the way, he just seems as though he’s there to pose for photos. The local pubs we found extremely friendly with good choices of food and we tried them all. The little cafe directly on the cottage doorstep, is Cobblestone Cafe and they’ll look after you with smashing food as well as all the local knowledge of the village. Out and about in the car, there are some nice little villages scattered about with pubs and cafes to feed you up, but beware, to get to some of them, using satnav, be prepared for a lot of single track roads which could slow your journey down a bit, but well worth it all in the long run. We’d recommend this Cottage, and all it’s surroundings, wholeheartedly. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit.

  • "Squint cottage was perfect."

    Not only was it warm and inviting but loved being on the square In Grassington and close to all the pubs and shops. The cottage is also a wonderful home base for site seeing in the Dales. I highly recommend Squint cottage!!

    Thank you for your comments. We hope to welcome you back to Squint in the future. Property Owner

  • "We loved Squint Cottage from the moment we entered."

    The living room so cosy even though we didn't need the fire. The kitchen was well equipped, could almost say over equipped, but disappointed nowhere to put the food we brought with us. We managed though, just put it on the counter. The bathroom was lovely too and the towels so big and soft....just what you want when you get out of the shower. The bed was okay for us but some might think too soft. Could do with a chest of drawers or similar to put clothes. I just put them all at the bottom of the wardrobe. The wardrobe was the only problem as it was stiff to open and the handles came off every time. I just left it slightly open all the time. That hasn't put us off though as hope to book it again next year.

  • "A fabulous stay at Squint Cottage which felt immediately comfortable and homely."

    Our only negative point was no cupboard in the kitchen for food storage, but we meade good use of the Supermarket over the road and the bakers for regular top ups as well as eating out. Beautiful walks from the doorstep, easy free parking a 5 min walk away, amazing countryside on day trips out and plenty of places to eat or grab a drink in the lovely sleepy village.

    Thank you for your feedback. We feel there is adequate storage facilities given the size and nature of the kitchen layout and appliances, including a spacious fridge and particularly given the range of shops on the door step. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  • "Squint Cottage was absolutely delightful and we would thoroughly recommend it."

    We would be very happy to return here as well. A lovely little cottage, plenty of room for 2 people. Very nicely refurbished with modern fittings in kitchen and bathroom and yet retaining the original charm, particularly in the lounge and bedroom. Parking in the public car park was easier than expected and works fine.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back in the near future. Property Owner

  • "This cottage is a real gem."

    We were absolutely delighted with its location, cleanliness and facilities available and right in the heart of Grassington itself. We had a fantastic 3 days holiday and could not have chosen a better place to stay than Squint Cottage. We feel totally relaxed and will come back again as soon as we can. I would also like you to remove my previous feedback made at the time I was too ill to travel to Grassington. It should not reflect in any way upon this cottage or their owners as I was hoping Sykes Holidays could give us a discount on re-booking due to illness.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and hope To welcome you back very soon. Property Owner

  • "Overall we enjoyed our break at Squint Cottage, great location in the centre of Grassington."

    We manged to park in the market square rather than the car park. Cottage was clean, the bed was comfy and the sofas were comfy too although very low. Couple of pointers the welcome pack was a nice touch but could have done with some bread for the jams and cleaning pointers the microwave was dirty and the loo brush was dirty, all easy to rectify. We hope to revisit

    Thank you for your valued feedback. We provide a free parking pass for the public car park to avoid the necessity to park in the village square. As a curtesy to local residents and those who use the local shops the square is restricted to a two hour parking limit. This isnt enforced, rather it is left to discretion and common sense. Your comments re the toilet brush and microwave are noted, although in 5 years and our many discerning visitors we’ve never had a negative cleaning comment Property Owner

About the location

GRASSINGTON

Skipton 9 miles; Ilkley 12 miles.

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.
