"We have stayed around the Grassington area for several years and this was our first attempt at self catering. We have a dog and it was quite satisfying to find a property so well appointed that we could still take our dog along. The property could not be situated in a better spot. If you consider the parking in the town we had only a short walk to drop off and collect our baggage. The property itself was a real bonus and we all loved it. The owners who we contacted to arrange keys etc, were brilliant. We shall return!"

We really had one of our best vacations here."

"absolutely lovely, it had everything we needed and more and was conveniently situated in the middle of the village. the only problem was, unknown to me I had booked the accommodation when grassington festival was on. because of this we couldn't drive up to the door to unload as stated in the literature and had to find a back way into the village and then do several trips to unload. this was difficult due to our ages and disabilities. the festival is on at the same time every year and I feel that we should have been told so that we could arrive before the road was closed off or else arrive later in the day when it reopened. there was a very unhelpfull " jobsworth " character manning the road closed barrier who actually told us we couldn't get to the cottage that day !! not a good start to our holiday, however someone else told us about the back way into the village and we took things from there"

"This was a wonderful place to stay. The road is narrow being the width of a single car and one pedestrian. Having said that unloading and loading wasn't a problem. We managed to park in front of the town hall everyday except the Friday but this was the start of Grassington festival and parking was available at the back of the town hall and the farm above. Although WIFI was available in all the pubs nearby, and nearby is as close as few yards down the road, it would have been a lot more convenient to have had it on the premises. Our need for WIFi was to plan trips and gain history and upload photos. We were more than happy not to be on the receiving end of emails. Please don't let any of these comments put you off because it is a great place to stay!"

The studio is well appointed, scrupuilously clean and nicely decorated and furnished and in keeping with the character of the area. Both the large double bed and the settee are very comfortable and the whole studio is surprisingly spacious.

It is ideally located right in the centre of Grassington, close to all the amenities and hostelrys. It was very well equipped and in pristine condition. The owners very kindly advised us where to park our car as parking is of a premium in Grassington. Say what you liked best or least, this is easy as the cottage was very good, unfortunately Sykes nor the owners can do anything about the weather which was rubbish!"

The flat had all the amenities necessary. The equipment in the flat made the stay very comfortable. We were not too sure about the rugs as they moved when trying to stand up. The bed was heavenly.
