"The Shippon is a lovely cottage with all the comforts that make it feel home from home."
Comfortable beds and good quality bed linen. Cosy and comfy living room, spacious bedrooms with plenty of storage space and a very well appointed kitchen. A few minutes walk to Grassington High Street with good pubs/restaurants and individual shops. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a stay in the Dales area. Thank you John and Ruth for making our stay so memorable

"A beautiful cottage set in the heart of Grassington near to local shops, restaurants and pubs."
The property itself is excellent and well appointed to cover all of your needs. Beds were very comfortable as were the settees in the living room. Kitchen is well appointed with split level cooker and micro wave. Wood stove is available if nights become cold but central heating sufficed on our stay. Would certainly book again and highly recommend staying here.

"Lovely comfy cottage !"
A three minute walk and you're in the village. Lounge is very nice and loved the woodburner ! Bedrooms are very comfortable and spacious. Kitchen has all you need if you decide to eat in. Would have liked a small Christmas tree as we stayed the week before Christmas and missed ours !!
Hi Brynetta, we’re so glad that you enjoyed the log burner and found the cottage comfortable and well equipped. We’re really sorry for missing the tree this year, we try our best to decorate the house for guests but faced a couple of challenges setting it up this Christmas - we should have let you know. It’ll be back next year!

Thanks for the feedback and the suggestion about the logs. we hope when you say that it was "massively cold" you meant the weather! We always find the Shippon is cosy with or without the stove. We'll check out the central heating just in case.
