This property has been lovingly decoratedwith wooden flooring and a wood-effect stove, as well as an open fire in the living room. This property, with magnificent views of the river and surrounding dales, is well placed for local amenities and various activities within the area.

With traditional stone cottages and shops, clustered around the cobbled market place, Grassington is one of the most charming villages in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Offering outstanding shopping facilities for a settlement of its size, this village hosts a monthly farmer's market with a delicious range of organic and home-made local produce. This superb walking area is full of interesting natural features such as the River Wharfe and extensive Grass Woods which lay to the north of the village. Bolton Abbey with the Abbey ruins, the Priory and the famous "Strid Walk" is a short distance away, as is the elegant town of Ilkley, situated in the shadow of Ilkley Moor. The cathedral city of York is within easy driving distance and offers a wide range of attractions such as the Viking museum, the National Railway Museum and the chilling York Dungeon.

From heather-clad moors and limestone scars, to market towns and the steady pace of country life - the sublime Dales await you! Where else in Britain is it as satisfying to sit and do nothing as it is to explore the numerous pursuits on offer?

Reviews of 1 Bridge End

"Stayed here for a special break with my family , sisters special birthday. The weather was kind to us which meant we could enjoy the lovely garden and river views. The house is so comfortable, plenty of space for 7 of us. Comfy beds and very nice bathrooms. A ten minute walk into Grassington. Fabulous dinner at Grassinton house and an equally delicious Sunday lunch at The Black horse inn. Would definitely stay again. Xx"

"A lovely property."

Reviewed by Mrs Hellewell on 17/12/2013

"Bridge End 1 has ample space for six people, wonderfully and tastefully furnished rooms, and the most magnificent view out of the bay window of the living room. Hiking tours can be started right from the property, and still there is no car needed for grocery shopping - the "center" of Grassington is only a five minutes' walk away. Backdraws: The room in the basement felt a bit damp, so we did not use it (and we did not need to - there were enough beds for the six of us upstairs). And the traffic across the bridge that gave the house its name is a little bit loud, but the cars' noise mixes up with the very soothing rushing of the river."
