There is secure BT broadband wi-fi internet which is accessible through out the whole apartment.
The property benefits from an abundance of natural light and includes many original property features including original Georgian sash windows, a large ornate south facing window.
Typical of a property of this period (1866), both staircases are relatively steep and narrow which whilst being part of the character of the apartment may cause difficulty for the elderly and/or infirm. Those with young children will also need to bear this in mind although we have stair gates and manage with a 3 year old ourselves in the apartment.
Ground Floor
Directly at the front of your accommodation there is a small flagged seating area and a convenient reserved parking space for your car.
Grassington is a picture postcard village in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Set amongst the magnificent limestone scenery of Upper Wharfedale, Grassington is a hub for local tourism offering a wide range of outdoor leisure activities.
There is a rich tapestry of flower-filled meadowland, high fells, heather moors and broad-leaved woodland, all scattered with stone barns, waterfalls and an abundance of drystone walls.
There are various popular and traditional community events held throughout the year including the atmospheric Dickensian Christmas Festival, the early summer Grassington Festival and the September 1950’s weekend.
Sorry no smoking. Smaller well behaved dogs and cats are welcome. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
We commit to paying 5% of your total rental cost towards sending urgently needed humanitarian aid to children and adults in various countries abroad (more details on request).
