Excellent cosy cottage
We had a great few days staying at this lovely cottage in Grassington. Log burner keeps it cosy and all the equipment you need to self cater is provided. Very comfortable bed. The cottage is very convenient for the village centre, with it's cafes, pubs and takeaways. Many walks straight from the door. We'd certainly like to stay here again!

Grassington get-away
This is a very cosy cottage with a loved feel owing to the owners family connection with it. The location is tucked away in the village and there is zero noise or light pollution. If you want peace, tranquillity and coziness this is the spot. Plus the log burner is an absolute beauty & the free supply of seasoned logs completes the picture!

Absolutely perfect!
Everything about this little cottage is perfect! It is cute, clean, comfortable and a perfect location that is close to the square but not too close if you want to be away. My trip was a first time solo trip without a car and I was able to find everything very easily and felt very safe walking around town in the evenings and on daytime trail walks. I truly loved my stay at this cottage in Grassington! Check in and communication was very easy and responsive too. Thank you for sharing your little bit of heaven.

Sweet Spot for Unforgettable Visit
I looked for a place for my husband and I to have a comfortable home base from which to explore the locations used in All Creatures Great and Small on PBS. This could not have been more perfect. It is cozy and located in easy walking distance to the quaint town square and shops. The only downside- and what I think could be something others might need to know- is that 1) the bedroom and only bathroom are upstairs with kitchen and sitting room downstairs and 2) even though the listing says there are three parking spaces near the cottage, they were always filled and we had to park a good distance away and walk to and from the car, up and down a hill. The cottage itself requires a walk, even if you are lucky enough to get one of those spaces. Anyone with any difficulty in mobility would not have an easy go of it. Luckily, we didn’t, but still, when it was unexpectedly cold, rainy, and windy, that long walk to the car was not pleasant. That’s my only negative for this charming cottage. We had a truly magical week in Grassington, and I highly recommend it!

Nine Nights: June 22 to July 1 2024
The ratings guide would only allow 5 stars. But we give the Hill Top Fold a 5 ++++++++++ and then some. If you are looking for a quiet, comfortable, out of the fray lodging look no more. This the place for you. My wife have been staying in VRBOs since the inception of VRBOs. By far, this is one of if not the best we had the pleasure to stay. Our Host, although we didn’t meet them personally, were wonderful. Very responsive to any questions. The cottage has been in the family since the mid 60s. So you don’t have to deal with an absentee owner. Two sister who own the cottage would spend their summers there. When you have two siblings who love each other and respect each other to go into business together, it is something special. So look no further. There isn’t anything I would change in the cottage. My favorite feature of the cottage, and this may sound odd, was the green Dutch front door. I’ve always wanted one, and our stay only intensified that desire. Like I said, Look no further!! This is the place as far as we are concerned. But stay away from the last 2 weeks of June 2025. We are already planning a return visit to Grassington. There are more trails to explore. Peace, V and M

A little gem
Beautiful cosy and comfortable cottage ideally situated in the glorious setting of Grassington. Local pubs and food were great. People very friendly and welcoming. Stunning scenery and even managed to see Wharfdale play rugby on Saturday (yes they won). Would definitely come back, almost forgot an epic trip to Wensleydale to the cheese makers. Absolutely fascinating and lots of cheese purchased

Cozy Cottage
We very much enjoyed staying at this little cottage- well located for hiking and the village is big enough to have plenty of amenities for eating, groceries, pharmacy but still quiet. The cottage was clearly well cared for and we had plenty of space for two of us. We especially enjoyed the bright breakfast nook and had everything we needed for light cooking. Would love to return to beautiful Yorkshire!

Grassington summer days.
The cottage was well-appointed and comfortable with all the equipment required that you would expect. The small garden was also a nice feature especially during the lovely weather we were lucky to have. The only downside was the very limited parking available nearby. We decided to leave our car in the large Yorkshire Dales Information Centre carpark and booked a place for the week which worked fine for us. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Grassington and wouldn't hesitate to stay at the cottage again.

Yorkshire Dales at its best!
The cottage was wonderful --very clean, well-equipped, just as lovely as it appears in the listing. It is tucked away from the nearby lane (where we were always able to find parking) so very quiet and peaceful. It's a short walk to the center of Grassington, which has many places to eat and a Co-Op market. We were lucky enough to be there when filming for All Creatures Great and Small was ongoing! All in all, a great experience. We highly recommend this cottage.

About the host

Hosted by Janet McDonald

Host profile image
We are two sisters who have been coming to our family cottage since 1966 when we were small children. Our parents purchased the cottage when there was still livestock roaming in the fold, and we have had many happy holidays here! We now have grand children and share our favourite pastimes in this beautiful area with them.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is cosy but light and spacious. A quiet haven to relax and unwind in. You can forget about time, even your car, and explore some of the most beautiful scenery in the country straight from the door. You remain close to all the hustle and the bustle of this thriving Dales village whilst having your own private garden space for quieter moments.
