"Sandy Cottage was a great place to stay and the village of Linton is absolutely gorgeous."
We had a wonderful time.
-
"A lovely comfortable and well-equipped cottage in a brilliant location - we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay"
-
"We had a very comfortable stay in this gorgeous cottage."
The village is quiet, and very picturesque, and the cottage itself is gorgeous! Well equipped kitchen, good shower and comfortable beds. Would love to come back for a longer stay!

A nice tranquil get away.

"Lovely cottage in an absolutely picturesque village."
Great pub with good food a couple of doors down the lane. Great easy walks on doorstep to Grassington.
-
"A really lovely cottage, very clean and well equipped."
We had a lovely week there. I would be happy to return .
-
"Super cottage in an idyllic location with the bonus of being able to take our dog."
Clean, bright rooms with a comfy King Size bed and great power shower - perfect after a fun day walking and sightseeing in the Dales. Less than a minute walk to the exceptional village pub but with no noise problems. Before booking we read the comments about parking sometimes being an issue but there was only the Friday we arrived that we couldn’t get parked by the Green, and this space was still only a couple of minutes away. Can wholeheartedly recommend this property. We will be back

"We had a wonderful week at Sandy Cottage, can't fault anything, will definitely look to stay again."
Thank you Constantina for all the tips and ideas.

"We had a lovely week, the cottage is in a quiet village."
The green was just a few steps from the front door with a shallow beck running through. Friendly neighbours. We could go for walks without moving our car or short drives to good walking locations. Nice to light the wood burner on an evening and enjoyed a tasty meal at the pub, again only a few yards from the cottage! The host was helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.
-
"A lovely warm well appointed cottage in a stunning location."
Lots of great walks both nearby and further afield. We would definitely recommend to others.
-
"A wonderful and peaceful place - easy with small walks."
Nearby Malham Cove with scenic walks which we and our children love. We really enjoyed our stay.
-
"Excellent cottage well appointed with everything you could need."
Parking can be a bit tricky on Friday afternoon/evenings and the weekend, but we always manage to get a park somewhere close in the village. Mid week is fine. Pub only a couple of doors down and does nice food and drink. Lots of walks from the cottage and Grassington is easy 25min walk straight from the cottage. Would also recommend the Old Hall Inn in Threshfield and the Carven Arms at Appletreewick for food. Would recommend.
-
"Loved the cottage and the location."
Very clean on arrival. Lots to see and do in the area.
-
"The cottage was in a beautiful village with the village green and river at the front."
Parking was a little difficult. The cottage furnishings were tired, and it was evident that dogs were allowed to stay. The floors needed sorting out. More could have been done to keep the cottage up to standard. We will certainly not stay again where dogs have been allowed, as the lounge smelled of dogs.
-
"An absolutely wonderful cottage in picturesque Linton which makes a perfect base for plenty of good walks with dogs."
The cottage is comfortable and has a very well equipped kitchen - even a slow cooker. The green can be used like a garden so morning cup of tea, sat on the green by the stream was idyllic. There is a good pub, The Fountaine Inn, next door which does food and another one, The Old Hall Inn, in Threshfield which is a 20 minute walk along a footpath - torch recommended.
-
"Lovely cottage in a stunning location, overlooking the green parked the car for a week and just walked with the dog."
Nice small garden and a shower to die for can’t wait to return
-
"Lovely place to stay great location for country walking"
-
"We really enjoyed our week in Sandy Cottage."
The village itself is a gem and the location for walks brilliant. The cottage is a great base to return to at the end of a Dales day. The courtyard was a wonderful haven and the pub a must! We would recommmend this readily.
-
"Really lovely cottage in a perfect location."
Well equipped, comfortable beds.
-
"Lovely cottage in a great location, the walking from the cottage was wonderful."
Grassington was an easy walk and offered everything we needed but staying in Linton was perfect as quiet and tranquil with a great pub.
-
"Excellent cottage, very comfortable situated in a wonderful position on a green in a picturesque village."
Very friendly local people and a particularly notable food serving pub almost next door. The only drawback was not having somewhere to park. Three nights, due to the popularity of the village, we had to park 300 meters outside of the village. During one of those nights, our car was hit and no details left. This took the edge off of a wonderful stay. The location in the Dales was terrific.
-
"We had a wonderful week at Sandy Cottage."
Local walking, beautiful surroundings, warm and cosy cottage to return to. All the furnishings, rugs, fabrics and equipment etc. are good quality. The owner dealt with any queries promptly and efficiently. Linton is a beautiful village as a base, with the bonus of an excellent pub.
-
"A wonderful location and cottage for a walking holiday, as so many popular, scenic routes can be accessed from ‘the door’."
We were able to ‘ditch’ the car for several days. The village is extremely pretty, quiet and we had no problem finding a parking place. The outdoor hose was handy for muddy boots and a mucky dog! Loved the bright furnishings and local paintings in the cottage. Earlier reviews mentioned small bath towels, but large ones have since been purchased. Spotlessly clean and fully equipped. The Fountains Inn serves delicious food and has a dog friendly bar. We thoroughly recommend and it is our intention to return to ‘Sandy Cottage’.
-
"Well maintained old cottage in a brilliant position for walks around the Yorkshire Dales."
The village setting is stunning with the renowned Fountaine Inn just a few yards away for food and drink.
-
"Lovely well appointed cosy cottage in pretty village location."
Great location for exploring the dales and beyond.
-
"A well equipped, comfortable and charming cottage, perfectly situated for touring the Dales."
We were delighted to be able to enjoy cosy evenings by the log burning stove after a busy day touring or pop to the pub a minute away, with its lovely warm atmosphere and good menu. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage. Fiona Surrey

"Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting."
Very busy little place for visitors. Not able to guarantee parking close to the cottage as all parking places rapidly filled by incomers. This was the only major drawback to the location. Otherwise idyllic setting for walks and scenery. Would strongly recommend -with the only caveat being be prepared to park away from the cottage wherever you can get a parking spot - sometimes on the main road.
-
"Lovely cottage in a lovely village setting."
Local pub, village green with stream running through it makes for a great place to sit and relax. Great base for exploring the surrounding countryside on foot, bike or by car. We had a great holiday and would definitely recommend Sandy Cottage.
-
"An extremely well equipped cottage in an unbelievably desirable location."
So comfortable with absolutely everything that you could need. We have stayed in many many holiday cottages but this is without a doubt the best. If you’re looking for somewhere in The Dales book it you won’t be disappointed. Walks literally from the door, a pub fifty yards away and quiet too! But also within walking distance of Grassington. Perfect! X

"We have used Sykes before and have always been pleased."
Sandy cottage was the best rental so far; great location and the cottage itself was perfect.
-

"We loved Sandy Cottage."
It is very well located for visiting the area. A very cosy and comfortable cottage, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Very comfortable beds. We were a party of four adults and found that there was plenty of space. Would highly recommend Sandy Cottage to anyone looking to stay in the area.

"Lovely cottage in a great location."
Would highly recommend

"Sandy Cottage is a little gem in the heart of Linton."
The cottage is a very delightful, fully equipped comfortable cottage that sleeps up to five guests and two well behaved dogs. The Cottage is situated in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, with miles of rolling picturesque hills, rivers, which are a dream for walkers, and walking dogs. I would fully recommend a stay at Sandy Cottage.
-
"Pleasant stay at Sandy Cottage."
Bed was so comfy. Beautiful surroundings would return at sometime in the future.
-
"Sandy Cottage is well located to visit the Dales and for all activities- we went hiking, horse riding, for a picnic and swimming in the River Wharfe at Bolton Abbey, fishing and for great meals in the nearby Fountaine Inn."
The Bronte parsonage at Haworth, the ropemaker and Yorkshire Wensleydale creamery at Hawes, festival at Grassington all well worth a visit. The cottage has lovely interior decoration- will be copying some of the design ideas! The kitchen contained everything we could possibly need and the courtyard at the back was so nice- we enjoyed a barbecue and sat in the sun in total privacy, surrounded by flowers. We hope to return some day.

"Well what can I say."
....? This place is a hidden gem. You have to go to appreciate it. As soon as we entered the door we felt at home. Cosy, warm, quirky little house!!! I say little but really quite spacious for 5 people. We’ve been staying in cottages around the dales for over 10 years but this cottage stole the show!! Just book it! You’ll love everything about it. Perfect location, amazing owner ! This place will take a lot of beating. Love you Sandy Cottage..... see you again x

"Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting."
.. only thins I’d say is that friends hired a nearby cottage for the weekend and they had some very useful books in local walks and an IS map of the area - would have been very useful!
The Cottage is generally very well equipped, and includes two drawers full of local information including walks from the doorstep. We're always happy to improve so we've added maps as well. Your holiday is our pleasure! Property Owner

"Lovely, relaxing stay in this comfortable, beautifully clean and well equipped cottage, which had everything we needed for a perfect holiday."
Wonderful location in idyllic village, with great walks in the breath-taking Yorkshire Dales from the door and a gastro pub just a few steps away. Sunny weather meant we enjoyed sitting out in the lovely patio garden most days. A week wasn't long enough! We'll definitely be returning. Thank you.

The property
Oozing with classic Dales character, this charming 18th century stone-built cottage overlooks the village green and riverside life of Linton, one of the prettiest villages in the Yorkshire National Park.
Restored by the current owners, Sandy Cottage is a delight, with Yorkstone flags, aged timber floors and exposed beams providing distinctive first-class accommodation.
The cottage boasts a cosy sitting room with open fire in a feature stone fireplace, a dining room with French windows leading to a private Yorkstone flagged rear patio, and a fabulous location just yards from one of the best gourmet pubs in the area.
Centrally located in this beautiful part of the National Park, there are lovely walks from the doorstep, while nearby is popular Grassington, with its wide range of shops, pubs and art galleries, annual Grassington festival in the summer, and traditional Christmas market and entertainment.
Something for everyone whatever the time of year!
About the location
LINTON
Skipton 8 miles; Grassington 3 miles.
Linton is one of the most outstanding villages in the upper Wharfedale community. 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. Close to Linton Falls on the River Wharfe, this is a superb walking area, with many paths to other villages, and easy access to the limestone fells. Down dale is the haunting Abbey ruins and Priory at Bolton Abbey, or the elegant town of Ilkley, overlooked by the famous Ilkley Moor. Up dale are Kettlewell and Buckden, with spectacular limestone scenery. Linton is a great base for exploring the local area with the market town of Skipton and its medieval castle a short drive away, and many other historic places including Bronte Country, Castle Howard, the elegant spa town of Harrogate, racing at Ripon and the majestic medieval city of York within easy motoring distance.
Note: The stairs are made to the standard of earlier times and so are steeper and more narrow than modern steps. Please note that this property can only accept check ins on Mondays and Fridays.
