  The location was great and the cottage very quirky but not suitable for dogs at all.

  There is no garden and no grassed area so wherever the dog needs to relieve its self outside the cottage can only be next to someone else's property or down the steps to the cobbled shopping areas. The lounge is on the second floor and the steps are too steep and difficult for dogs. Most owners have the dogs with them in the lounge, they dont leave them on their own on another floor. The furnishings were very old, tired and uncomfortable. The easily accessible drawers to put clothes in the bedroom were full of towels and bedding for the cottage and the other small drawers difficult to get to.The shower was pretty much useless, over the bath with no shower rail. The parking permit is pretty useless as its for a parking area much further away from the central car park in town, which in itself is quite some distance across town to carry luggage, with a dog and our grandchild. No complementary condiments to give the lovely welcome most cottage do. No black bag for the bin, no spare toilet roll. The cottage feels like the owners cant be bothered putting in that special effort to make a nice welcome for guests but still are charging a high price.We will never stay there again and wont recommend to our friends.

  Fantastic to be finally out of lockdown & allowed to go to the seaside!

  !! However parking was a nightmare - unloading the car on a tiny street with loads of pedestrians & other vehicles trying to get past. Having to park miles away, so on a trip out to the beach having to carry all our stuff miles. It made it stressful & exhausting. I think it needs to be really clearly spelt out that parking in Whitby is difficult to find & the house location means I you’ll have to park a long way away, if your v lucky you might get a spot in the limited pay & display £9 a day. Remember everything you bring has to be carried ... we brought way too much stuff! The house was quirky & v characterful which was lovely, but top stair landing was precarious & also The banister rail was loose, so had to be really on the ball! It’s not really a family holiday house, but the location is fantastic and the house a real experience, loved the old bath! You’ll need healthy knees as there are a LOT of very steep uneven steps,! I’d say it’s great for a short break just to explore Whitby as you’re right in the old town. But come on the train & with a small overnight bag!

  This is a fabulous cottage.

  Fabulous location just 10 mins walk from Grassington. The standard of the furnishings was of very high quality, together with spacious bedrooms and lovely bathrooms. The balcony overlooking the river just added to it, we sat out most evenings, relaxing with a glass of wine, preferring to stay at the cottage watching the stars from the balcony. We had another cottage cancelled at last moment because the owner had sold it but despite the initial stress of trying to find another cottage at short notice, I think this was to our advantage because this cottage far exceeded our expectations. Its location is great, a lovely stroll along the river and your in beautiful Burnsall for a meal at the Red Lion. You can walk in the opposite direction and have lunch at the Tennant Arms in Kilnsey, and as previously mention just a 10 minute walk to all the facilities and eateries in Grassington, likewise walk a mile and you can be in the lovely village of Linton. I loved this cottage and would certainly stay again. It setting is beautiful and second to none.

  Overall we really enjoyed our break.

  The cottage is in perfect location - on the doorstep of the town centre, yet in a very quite lane. The only downside of the location is that you have to factor in the £9 / day on parking. The cottage is very characterful and nicely decorated. Cleanliness on the whole was good apart from a number of kitchen items that needed washing up before being used. But a few negative comments too. Well, nowadays having Wifi is expected particularly by our teenage son who found it a real shock to the system! I almost enjoyed him having an enforced break from the internet, apart from the fact that we, as parents, have to deal with the fallout! The size of the TV was a surprise - its about the size of a computer monitor. No excuse for that really. Getting enough hot water for a bath is obviously an art that we could not master. Some areas of the cottage were a little tired looking and could do with a bit of attention. So would we book again? Maybe, but we'd probably look for a property with those expected facilities first.

  Agreeing with all that has been said before the location and facilities of this Craven Cottage has been first class. I cant believe its only 3 stars we are certainly going to book again. We had a great week using a North West rover on the railway and also sampling various bus routes. The Saturday bus to Harrogate and the Sunday bus from Grassington to Hawes were particularly scenic and interesting. We mostly catered for ourselves but would recommend Bizzy Lizzies for fish and chips. Skipton has many bakers shops that you are spoilt for choice but pastries from Thomas's were very good. As for doing your washing try the Express Laundromat on Sackville Street a seven minute walk away and the staff were very helpful , they give change for the machines and you can buy soap there. WE hope you will enjoy your stay in this delightful cottage as we did
