"Had an absolutely fabulous stay at the Folly for a week."
Facilities were fantastic. Everything in the property was top of the range. Cooker, hob, fridge freezer shower was all excellent. The hot tub was excellent and well maintained by Chris and Sally. They both made us so welcome. The only complaint I have is we couldn’t stay another week ! Thank you Chris and Sally for your hospitality and I don’t think it will be too long before we return to your beautiful Folly ❤️ kind regards Eddie & Julie Jones

"Delightful property with great finish fabulous shower & good quality hot tub ,the hosts cannot do enough for you (fresh milk a lovely touch),the local pub is literally a stone’s throw away over a lovely little bridge,if we had to say anything slightly negative it is smaller than we expected & the parking would be nice if it was directly outside the property but a lovely stay."
-
"Had a lovely welcoming stay at The Folly, the property was immaculate inside and out."
Everything needed for a perfect 3 night stay. The hot tub was a lovely place to soak in after hours of nearby walks and one evening caught the stars above. Fully enclosed garden for our dog was also peace of mind. Pub across the green was lovely too, go online and book though as people without bookings (and dogs) would have to wait. A lovely stay, would recommend and would definitely return, thanks Chris and Sally.
-
"Excellent accommodation, really clean and well thought out."
The location is fantastic for walks in the dales. Chris & Sally were friendly & helpful but not intrusive. The patio & hot tub were lovely & peaceful, looking out over fields. A patio umbrella for hot days would be helpful as it was in the sun for most of the day with no shade. Will definitely highly recommend to others.
-
"Really enjoyed our stay at the Folly, very modern and cosy, just what we needed for a few days break and the hot tub was great and just what we needed after some long walks."
Everything is on your doorstep for nice walks with beautiful scenery. Chris and Sally were very pleasant and friendly and always on hand if you needed any advice or help. Would deffo stay again.
-
"The Folly has everything you need for a break in the Yorkshire Dales!"
Everything has been done to a high standard with well thought out amenities to make your stay comfortable. The enclosed patio is perfect for dog owners. We enjoyed visiting malham and Grassington whilst we were here. Would highly recommend!
-
"The property is exactly as described."
The location is idyllic and the views breathtaking. We were met by the hosts at the property, where we were given a quick run through of where everything was within the property. The kitchen was fully equipped. The bed was unbelievably comfy. The location is ideal for lots of walks within the area. Or just to un-wind for a few days. We would definitely recommend The Folly.
-
"Lovely cottage with stunning views and in perfect location for walking and the pub!"
A little tight in the cottage, but we had such great weather we were out for most of the time and when in the cottage mostly in the hot tub! Hosts were super helpful and friendly and we really enjoyed our stay! Will be back hopefully next summer.

"We have just come back from a week at The Folly."
We had a lovely relaxing break. The Folly is in a quiet, private location with stunning views. Chris and Sally are excellent hosts and communication was brilliant. The Folly is immaculate and well decorated with modern equipment and everything you need. It was lovely sitting in the hotub looking over the hills and watching the sheep. Thresfield is a peaceful village with a lovely pub that serves a good pint and delicious food. We would definitely return.
-

Would to return.

"Excellent base for a couple (and pooch), especially if walking."
Lovely location and idyllic setting. The Folly was immaculate. Communication was fantastic with the owners. Thank you.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at The Folly."
The property was immaculate and well set up. You have all the amenities you need to cook and prepare food and The Fountaine Inn located across the bridge provided excellent food and drinks after a long day walking. The hot tub is private and looks out over fields, with only a few sheep for company. Great to sit back and enjoy some fizz while the sun goes down. There are lots of great walks and locations to visit from The Folly. We walked down to Grassington, passing Linton Falls, and enjoyed a coffee in one of the many cafes/restaurants. We also walked in the opposite direction past the neighbouring farm following a path to Hebden then back across to Grassington which was longer but full of fantastic views. All locations are dog friendly with many fully loaded treat jars on hand. Chris & Sally were so friendly and welcoming. They were happy to advise should you need recommendations and were on hand should you need anything. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay in the beautiful property, great location and will definitely return.

"Had such a lovely little break- was a last minute decision and we weren’t disappointed with the accommodation we found."
Beautiful location with countryside all around. Sitting in the hot tub on an evening and in the morning was really peaceful. Plenty to do around the area- a nice little pub very close by. Had a walk to Grassington across the river which is so picturesque and not very far. Could have explored further but we felt like taking it easy! Perfectly clean and comfortable accommodation. The only issue we had was with the TV and internet. We couldn’t get any signal on the evenings when we tried to use it but wasn’t too bothered as we came for everything else really. An additional feature we would recommend would be a little bbq outside. Thanks to the owners for accommodating us!
-
"Location superb."
Very well appointed. Chris and Sally very accommodating. Would definitely return.
-
"We had an amazing stay at The Folly, Sally and Chris were so welcoming and helped sort out a nice birthday surprise for my partner."
We enjoyed our stay so much and are very sad to be home! We would love to come again. Thank you so much ☺️
-
"An absolutely amazing break at The Folly."
Booking was simple. Chris and Sally went out of their way to make our stay memorable. The Folly is beautifully presented and we wanted for nothing. The hot tub was an added bonus after a long day exploring The Dales. The Fountaine Inn is a must for dinner. Book early to avoid disappointment. Thank you for a wonderful time. We will definitely be back.
-
"Absolutely fantastic stay."
Lovely scenery, within walking distance to lovely villages. The Folly was beautiful, clean and so comfy couldn't have asked for anything more had everything you need. Chris and Sally were so friendly and helpful. Will definately return.
-
"We have just stayed at the Folly for 3 nights."
The property was finished to a very high standard and very clean! We had everything we needed in the property and the enclosed garden was perfect to let our puppy have a little run around on his own. The hot tub was gorgeous after a long walk and not too hot like others we have been too! We loved walking through the fields and watching the lambs play. The village is small but very picturesque and the local pub was lovely and friendly. The owners of the property were very friendly and always on hand if you needed anything at all. We will be back! Thanks for a lovely stay. Louise, Chris and Pablo

"This is a fantastic cottage very clean we stayed for 3nights, plenty of feedback ..."
This is a fantastic cottage very clean we stayed for 3nights, plenty of feedback from the owners, there if we needed them, the pub was a short walk away serving excellent food, we had our old dog with us so couldn't do any of the walks but there seemed to be plenty to do, lots of places to visit a short drive away, had a great weekend and would definitely recommend this cottage
-
"Lovely little property surrounded by lovely countryside with some nice walks on the doorstep."
Emaculate property with beautiful modern interior and amenities. Lovely small enclosed outside area with hot tub. The host (Chris and Sally) at the Folly were great, made sure we had settled in and there if we needed them. The Pub across the bridge was an added bonus.
-
"The Folly - a gorgeous little place!"
We had a lovely weekend stay here. Chris & Sally have made it perfect for their guests. Thank you for having us & would 100% recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing break.
-
"Myself and my partner booked 7 nights here and had an absolutely wonderful time."
Despite the harsh weather, with gorgeous sights and stunning walks, we never found ourselves bored. The hot tub was perfect and gave us the most beautiful and comfortable atmosphere for seeing the stars on clear nights. With Skipton only a 15 min drive away we never had an issue with food or anything of the sort. The owners are very kind and always happy to help and provide if you need anything. The folly is honestly such a peaceful place and perfect for a romantic getaway
-
"We had a wonderful relaxing stay at The Folly."
Nice personal touches, coffee, sugar, tea & dressing gowns. Very clean hot tub, which unfortunately the weather stopped us using it as much as we would have liked.
-
"Had a lovely stay, so peaceful and quiet and surrounded by absolutely stunning views."
If you’re wanting to get away into what feels like the middle of nowhere then I would definitely recommend here. Lots of lovely walks all around, local pub serves lovely food and not too far away from the shops! Hosts were great and always on hand to help if anything was needed, thanks again!
-
"We're just back from from spending Christmas week in this lovely little holiday cottage, next door to owners property in a quaint village."
Cottage was well equipped & had everything we needed for our stay. Owners were lovely, met us on arrival to run through everything & caught up with us again before we left to ask if everything had been ok & whether we had any suggestions to improve the cottage, we didn't we were quite happy with it as it is.
-

Chris and Sally were very accommodating and the place was exceptionally clean. Would recommend to friends and family.
-
"Superb place to stay."
Fantastic for 2 people. Best hot tub we’ve had in a rental and the place has been beautifully renovated. Somewhere to put muddy boots would be the only recommendation but I believe that may already be in the pipeline. Thanks for our stay we loved it
-
"We had a lovely relaxing 3 nights stay at the Folly."
A beautifully presented cottage, friendly welcome from the owners, a large comfy bed, outdoor patio with seating and a hot tub with fabulous views! The local pub is a few minutes walk from the property, serving great food and real ale. Plenty of scenic walks, eateries and attractions nearby and further afield. Can't praise this property enough. We will be back. Thank you Sally and Chris.
-
"Lovely little property."
All amenities were high spec. The large bed was really comfy and the hot tub was perfect after those long walks. The hosts were very welcoming. Lovely pub across the road which serves a fantastic Sunday roast and evening meals.
-
"We have just returned from a short stay at The Folly and what can I say other than wow!"
We booked this as our first break away as a couple after having our son 3 years ago and came away feeling well and truly relaxed. The location is the perfect base to explore the Dales and Linton itself is beautiful with a lovely pub just steps away from the property. The Folly was well equipped, spotlessly clean and felt cosy without feeling cramped due to the bright and modern decor and layout. I could have spent hours looking out of the dressing table window across the unspoilt views of the fields! At the front of the property was a beautiful hot tub with the same gorgeous views- definitely recommend getting up early and braving the cold to watch the sun rise over the fields- beautiful! Chris and Sally were very friendly and welcoming making sure we knew everything we needed to know about the property on arrival and met us to say farewell when we departed. We would definitely recommend The Folly to anyone who is looking for a relaxing break away. Thank you for having us and we hope to be back in the future!

"If you are looking for a rural, cosy hideaway, located in a charming village, surrounded by green fields with a pub less than 2 mins walk away, then The Folly is the place for you."
Fully equipped inside and out, with its own private patio, BBQ and hotub, this accommodation makes the perfect home away from home. The Folly has been finished to a high standard, light and bright decor gives a spacious, modern feel and had everything needed for a comfortable stay making it the perfect base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales National Park region. Chris and Sally were wonderful hosts and were always on hand if we needed any assistance or recommendations. We absolutely loved our time at The Folly, as did our Sprocker and we would 100% recommend The Folly for your next getaway.

Couldn’t recommend enough.

The location was nice and peaceful which is exactly what we wanted, and was in the centre of everything we had planned for our stay.

Me and my friend, wanted a mini break for relaxation, countryside, walking and peace…we got all of that and more.

"Our stay at The Folly was just perfect!"
We had a lovely cosy stay and the owners Chris and Sally were very welcoming and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The Folly was absolutely spotless and was a very comfortable stay, we could not fault The Folly at all! The owners even made a lovely effort to put happy birthday banners up for my birthday! A lovely location too with a great pub right across from the property and nice walks into the next villages. We’d highly recommend The Folly and will definitely be returning! Thank you both for a great stay!

"The little cottage was fab we had a perfect stay, Chris & Sally obviously work very hard to keep the place to its immaculate standard."
The setting is so beautiful, we enjoyed the hot tub and many a long walk not to mention the pub just across the road. Only a couple of things to mention is a hairdryer would be helpful and one less thing to pack & as mentioned to Chris maybe somewhere to dry swim wear

"Idyllic stay at The Folly We spent a fantastic three days staying at this property."
We arrived to Morris dancers dancing on the village green and The Folly is just over the road from this. The property is immaculate and has everything you could wish for and we loved the hot tub from where you could gaze over the field at the sheep grazing. The owners ( Chris and Sally) could not have been more helpful and friendly ! Linton is an idyllic Yorkshire village with a great pub just across the green which has a stream flowing through it and picture perfect bridge. The Folly is the ideal place from which to explore the Yorkshire Dales.
