"No.1 Bridge End is located in a lovely place and gives you a fantastic view over the River Wharfe."
Only a short walk to Grassington village centre. Plenty of places to walk nearby as well as the village. Would highly recommend the property, its location and the area as a great introduction to the Yorkshire Dales, plenty of good beer around too!

"Beautifully welcoming cottage, very well equipped,and comfortable."
We were a party of 7 and a dog, I am 89 and my husband is 90, and the rest of the family ranged from 30 to 62, and we all enjoyed the walks and restaurants in the village, in a place which is ideally situated for exploring beautiful Wharfedale.

"A stunning location with a beautiful garden and parking."
The house however, needs work. Damp is very noticeable and the basement room is unacceptable. Our daughters woke up cold, in damp sheets, with all belongings smelling. The attic room was hot and cramped. Only the first floor bedrooms were truly fit for purpose. Bed linen in some rooms was past its sell by date (old cream pillowcases with mismatched duvet covers).
There is a lot to like too. Plenty of living room space and the house is well equipped. With some work and serious TLC, this property could be wonderful. At the moment, it isn’t.
Thank you for leaving feedback on our property, we are glad to hear you there is a lot to like about it as well as the stunning location and beautiful garden too.
We are sorry to hear what you have reported after completing your week’s stay. Your holiday is important to us and we write to all of our guests to let us know straightaway if anything isn’t what you’d expect, so that we can fix it. We want you to enjoy your stay trouble free!
Our maintenance team and housekeepers have all confirmed there is no dampness in the basement. There is a large radiator in the bedroom plus a portable mobile radiator for extra heat. The attic is advertised as having limited head space and storage, and you can see that from the photo too. It has a large window for ventilation.
We are a team of kind and thoughtful people who often go beyond the call of duty and put heart and soul into our cottage. We believe that we continue to offer excellent value for money, as well as delivering quality – that’s why we get brilliant reviews. It’s hard work but a passion!

"Had a great week, despite the weather."
Lovely house in a fantastic location with wonderful views over the River Wharfe. Could have spent hours looking at the view, and watching the abundance of wildlife make its way up and down the valley, if it wasn't for the kids. Found some great walks from the house and loved just pottering around Grassington with all of its local shops and cafes.

"Loved this cottage particularly, being a painter myself, for its proliferation of artworks throughout which I so enjoyed."
We appreciated the beautifully maintained garden and summerhouse. Stunning views of the river Wharfe with a gorgeous walk to Burnsall right below the cottage garden. Very well equipped. Diligent and attentive owner. Very spacious. Delightful. Only drawback for us, with two dogs (who we were delighted to be allowed to bring as not ever cottage owner wants two dogs in their house) was that the garden has a right of way across it so dogs had to be kept on the lead. However, we coped as did the dogs? Highly recommended.

"Bridge End is a beautiful property in a superb location."
It was ideal for a family week away with plenty of space for 6 adults and two children to relax and brilliant facilities. The family really enjoy the garden and the walks that were easily accessed from the bottom of the garden.
Unfortunately I was unable to join them as I have MS and need to use a disability scooter. I enjoyed the fact that I could access the amenities in the village with the presence of dropped kerbs and step free shops - not something you find in every village.
Personally speaking, the only improvement that I could think to suggest would be seating that is not so low - very difficult for me to get up from - and a possible bed settee on the ground floor for when I can no longer manage the stairs.
All in all a very comfortable family holiday with plenty to see and do in the the area.

"Property has lovely views from the sitting room, bedroom and garden, and is nicely furnished (especially for somewhere that accepts dogs)."
Comfortable bed, and good water pressure for the showers. (This property does not provide bath towels, so don't forget to pack your own.) There was plenty of crockery and the kitchen seemed well equipped. We enjoyed the log fire, the "starter" logs provided were enough for 3 evenings.
It is a short walk up into the village centre, or to get onto the Dales Way footpath. Grassington itself is lovely, lots of good places to eat and some interesting shops.
Some of the plates in the cupboard had crumbs on them, and some of the ramekins had also been put away without being properly cleaned, so we did put a lot of crockery through the dishwasher before using it. I think this would have been done by the people staying immediately before us, and as the dishes were in the cupboard the cleaner could not have noticed. Possibly if the "house" instructions were to run the dishwasher and / or hand wash any dishes, but to leave them in the dishwasher / drainer at the end of the stay this would be less likely to happen?
We would very happily stay at this house again next time we are in Grassington.

"We had an amazing time staying in Bridge End for the New Year."
We met the lady in housekeeping upon arrival who had done a fabulous job in making the house spotless for our arrival. We felt right at home with everything you can imagine being provided for our week long stay. The position of the property located at the edge of the village was perfect with just a short walk into the pubs and shops. The garden in the summer would be ideal for the summer evenings with a glass of wine listening to the river running by. Definitely will book again.

"We really enjoyed our stay here."
The house was like a home. It was decorated for Christmas. The kitchen was really well equipped with everything you could possibly need. We loved the view of the river from the front room it was fantastic. The garden was lovely and in warmer months you can sit out admiring the view. The bedrooms were comfortable and we slept really well throughout our stay.
The village was a five minute walk away with pubs, restaurants and shops. There was a walk directly outside of the property along the river to Linton.
Great weekend and perfect for spending time together as a family.

"The property was beautifully situated with long views of the river which we particularly enjoyed."
The house and rooms were colorful, spacious, clean and welcoming and we thought the kitchen was very well equipped. The village was full of interest and a 5 minute walk away, though a bit too steep a walk for those with walking aids. There were some lovely country walks straight from the door and if going further afield you are spoilt for choice of places to visit without needing to go more than 10 miles or so. And a good open fire for when you return.
There are some small bits that could do with a refresh such as the microwave, placemats and a squeaky blue window chair But we would be very happy to return and see the house, and the view, in all the different seasons.

It was more spacious than you would expect for a terraced cottage and the decoration was really artistic.

"The location and facilities of Bridge End were perfect for our mixed age group of 8."
The location is idyllic with wonderful views of the river from the house and the garden. This affording walks along the river, where the brave enjoyed a swim and all within easy walking distance of the village. The house is spacious and homely, comfortable and well equipped. It was good to be able to sit in different groupings using the two rooms with comfortable seating. Having a driveway for car parking is important here, although the driveway does mean the second car blocking the first. This was a great find.

"It was a great holiday."
Fantastic location. And a beautifully presented cottage with great facilities. My only concern was that prior to booking I had asked (Sykes) if the basement room could be made up as a double to accommodate our party. Sykes told me that that could be done, and on that basis I made the booking. However, when I spoke the owners of the cottage itself for final arrangements, they said they know nothing of this request and it could not be facilitated. This was a shame and sounds like a failure of communication between Sykes and the owners.

The pictures don’t really do it justice. We had a lovely Christmas with the six of us augmented by local family visits for meals and games. I was nervous about cooking Xmas dinner in a holiday home kitchen but I need not have been. The double oven functioned perfectly and our large turkey just squeaked into it. A complete success. In between meals we walked up and down the river and over the moor. Everyone agreed it would have been hard to better.
