"We were very pleasantly surprised surprised with the house , so beautiful the interiors are excellent , the kitchen is great expensive crockery and cutlery and pans everything you could possibly need, good bed and linen snowy white towels , first class !"
The main bathroom was so spacious excellent shower , only downside one of the factors in choosing the cottage was the bath , unfortunately we couldn’t use it as it had a leak which would be fixed on our departure .
Dear Mrs Tait. I’m pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay and the quality of facilities was excellent. I’m sorry that the bath was not useable. The leak was identified before your visit and unfortunately we were unable to get it repaired before you arrived. I’m pleased to report that it has been fixed now. We therefore do hope that if you consider returning to the area you will choose Riverdale House again. Regards John and Victoria. Property Owner

"Riverdale House is a beautiful property that has great facilities."
Our family of four loved our time there and wished we could have stayed for longer. My kids are already pestering me for a return visit. The location is great. Close enough to Grassington and Linton for a gentle walk to dinner and lunch, whilst also being peaceful, with just the sound of Linton Falls and wildlife at night. There are loads of walks that can start and finish at the back door.
We are delighted you appreciated the facilities in our house. Hopefully your children found some of the games provided appealed to them too. We are pretty sure the out-of-the-front door opportunities for paddling in the River Wharfe and crossing the stepping stones would have done. We hope you will return soon for more family fun - and peaceful times too. Property Owner

"This was a lovely house in a super position for LInton Falls and within a short walk to Grassington."
Everything in the house was of high quality and we particularly appreciated the new matresses on the beds which gave a very comfy sleep indeed. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and very stylishly furnished. The welcome pack was much appreciated too.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review, and for your lovely comments. We want our guests to enjoy the house as much as we do, so set our standards high. It’s very heart warming to hear this is noticed and appreciated. We send you our very best wishes and hope you will visit again. Property Owner

"Stunning house in an ideal location."
We are a family of four and spent three nights at this beautiful house. The pictures don’t do this property justice. Great location, spacious Interior, well equipped and beautifully decorated. Great location to explore Grassington and the surrounding areas. We will be booking again.
Thank you for your lovely feedback and for taking the time to share it with others. We are delighted to hear you found everything you wanted in the house and enjoyed your stay there. We look forward to welcoming you back to Riverdale House to enjoy both it and the beautiful surrounding areas further. Property Owner

About the location
GRASSINGTON
Skipton 9 miles; Ilkley 12 miles.
Grassington (a short walk across The Falls) is a quintessential small market town with a bustling cobbled market square, fringed by shops offering everything from practical essentials to totally tempting luxuries. Pubs, art galleries, crafts and open studios complete the Yorkshire shopping experience. Friendly cafés and restaurants are all set against a backdrop of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Grassington is now famous throughout the world as the fictional village of Darrowby, from the Channel 5 series of “All Creatures Great and Small” based upon the books by James Herriott. Linton is one of the most outstanding villages in upper Wharfedale. The ancient Linton Beck flows through the village crossed by packhorse bridges, stepping-stones and fords. The stone houses clustered around the central green date from the 17th and 18th Century, and at the head of this village stands an architectural masterpiece, the Fountaine Hospital, founded in 1721. The village is served by the Fountaine Inn, with a wide reputation for outstanding beers and food, and its welcoming atmosphere.Linton Falls and the River Wharfe are in a superb walking area, with many paths to other villages, and easy access to the limestone fells. Down dale are the haunting abbey ruins and priory of Bolton Abbey, and the elegant town of Ilkley, overlooked by the famous Ilkley Moor. Up dale are Kettlewell and Buckden, with spectacular limestone scenery. The local town of Skipton offers a plethora of attractions including Skipton Castle, boat trips, and the tranquil Skipton Castle Woods.Only a little further away are the delights of Malham Cove, Brimham Rocks, Stump Cross Caverns, the towns of Knaresborough and Harrogate and Haworth, the centre of “Bronte Country”, served by the Worth Valley steam railway. Enjoy all of this and more by securing a booking at Riverdale House.
