Location
Riverside is situated in the popular village of Grassington. The cottage apartment sleeps four people and has one king-size double bedroom with a basin - bed is a zip-link to provide two single beds if required, a bathroom, a fitted kitchen with a dining area, a sitting room with a double sofa bed and a woodburning stove. Outside, the apartment offers off road parking for one car and a rear lawned garden with a patio and furniture. With the popular market town of Skipton nearby and picturesque walks for hikers of all levels available in the surrounding area, Riverside is the perfect base for discovering the Yorkshire Dales.
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 Riverside
"This cottage is beautifully located when it is not a building site. I booked this cottage about nine months prior to my stay. A few days before my arrival the owner contacted me to explain that there was building work going on and we "might" be disturbed. At such short notice my wife and I decided to risk it until 2 days before we were due to take possession the agent, Sykes Cottages, rang us to say the booking was cancelled due to builders cutting through the power supply cable. At such short notice the only acceptable alternative was a more expensive cottage. When I approached the owner asking that they compensate me for the additional cost they refused. I actually called at the site and it was indeed a building site with mechanical diggers all over the place. This is the second time in 3 years that this owner has done this to us and on both occasions because of building work. A most unsatisfactory experience."

"My Husband and I stayed here with our 6 month old Puppy for a short vacation in February. The accommodation is lovely, clean and very spacious. We absolutely loved the view from the sitting room and enjoyed having our early morning cuppa watching the babbling river and the ducks. Grassington itself has some lovely little shops and a few hostelries and cafe's so you can enjoy a cold glass of something or something more warming. it is literally a 5-10 minute walk into Grassington. The owners are really lovely and nothing is too much trouble should you need anything. We will definitely be back :)"

"The service was good. The owners had their apartment above us, we had our privacy. The apartment had everything we needed and the beds were good. The view was wonderful and it was only a few minutes walk to the centre of Grassington . We had a dog with us and we could make lovely walks nearby. It is a pity that the Yorkshire Dales and this apartment are not situated in Holland. Otherwise we certainly visited it again soon."

"A very warm welcome given. The owners live on-site and were there if we needed them without being intrusive. The view from the lounge window was magnificent; a fantastic Dales scenery. The position just outside this popular village was ideal and central for exploring Wharfedale and Wensleydale, and easy to get to the town of Skipton. We would certainly return to this property when next in the Yorkshire Dales."

"This cottage is superb. Close to the lovely village of Grassington (less than 5 mins walking), nice and private at the end of a row of cottages with a parking space. It is very well equipped, modern and cosy with plenty of room for 2 to 4 people. The views from the living room and sun room are of the River Wharfe and the bridge into the village. The riverside footpath can be accessed close to the cottage, which is ideal for those visiting with a four legged friend wanting to walk. We visited over the New Year period and even the unbelievably wet weather didn't spoil our stay as the cottage is so homely and comfortable. This must be one of the best equipped cottages anywhere and the owners are very welcoming but not intrusive even though they live very close by. It is a credit to the owners who have done a magnificent job in creating this special place!"
