About this property

Please enquire quoting "late booking discounts" for a reduced quote.
Fern House is a Charming Period Town House Apartment tucked away in a quiet corner with allocated parking just 30 metres from the picturesque main market square of Grassington with its range of visitor friendly shops, pubs and restaurants in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The apartment spans over the first and second floors, with abundant natural daylight, accessed by stairs from the private entrance lobby through the grand front door.

Top floor...

Views over the rooftops and Fold from the large Georgian window, plus a large roof skylight window.
First Floor:

Utility area: just off the kitchen you will find a small utility area with tumble dryer, vacuum cleaner, slow cooker, high chair, iron and ironing board and a range of cleaning products.
Throughout the flat you will find a stunning collection of framed landscape photographs by a local artist featuring Grassington and the surrounding area.
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).

I cannot fault this property at all! We stayed here around 5 years ago and couldn’t wait to return (unfortunately COVID prevented it being sooner)!
The property is lovely, clean and cosy. Great location and only around 30 seconds walk from the village. Parking is a bonus. Highly recommended.
Nice location although small entrance for cars to courtyard . Outside area needs some upkeep and inside is a little tired although functional. Great Comms with owners who let us into the property early .
Perfect location in the middle of the village with parking (which is very hard to find in Grassington). Very comfortable with all the conveniences. Would definitely stay again.
Well equipped apartment in a quiet location close to the village centre.
Very relaxing holiday, no need to use the car once we'd arrived as there are plenty of walks from the door step with numerous pubs and cafés a short walk away.
Great location with lots of walks on the doorstep and friendly pubs for that well earned pint at the end of the day. Easy to arrange booking communication with owners was always prompt informative and friendly.
We very much enjoyed our stay in Fern House. The property is perfectly located right in the centre of the village, with convenient parking right outside the front door.
We would definitely stay again.
The property managers (Hazel and Andrew) provided not only great accommodations near the Square in Grassington, but also provided lots of information about things to do in the area. Further, they were very responsive to questions regarding their property.
Excellent location, with private parking space. Very comfortable bed, plenty of wardrobe space. Superb shower. Kitchen and lounge both very pleasant rooms with plenty of light from the large windows at the front of the property. Have stayed here before and would again.
Fern House is the perfect place to holiday. It was very clean and had everything needed for a pleasant stay in beautiful Grassington. The accommodation is right in the middle of the village so convient for all pubs, cafes etc. I would not hesitate to book again.
Thank you for a wonderful break
This was our second visit and will definitely be booking again. Lovely and clean and with everything you need in a perfect location with pubs, cafes, shops and lovely walks right on your doorstep. Very peaceful location, just what you need for a relaxing get away from it all. The main square is really pretty at night, all lit up if you fancy an evening stroll.
Thank you Andrew and Hazel.
Fern Cottage is lovely...located in Grassington where All Creatures Great and Small is filmed...in the centre of this beautiful Dales Village it is quiet and convenient. Communication with the host was easy and timely. The cottage was clean and well presented and as described. We would highly recommend a stay to anyone wishing to explore this area.

Short Stay At Fern House
Superbly positioned accommodation just off the main square. Very well equipped and comfortable especially the main bedroom with its large bed and luxury covers - very cosy. Could have done with the heating staying on for an hour longer in the evening especially as it was Winter time.Highlight of the stay was dinner at No 5 Grassington House -wonderful food ,pleasant atmosphere and welcoming staff. The Fountaine Inn at Linton is a must place to visit and eat whether at lunchtime or evening. Highly recommend a stay at both Grassington and Fern House.

Lovely clean tidy apartment in a beautiful village
We had a lovely 4 day Break in Fern House in January.The apartment is very cosy and inviting a real home from home.Everything is there that you may need all kitchen appliances microwave, washing machine, dryer ,dishwasher etc.
The village with its abundance of tea shop's , 3 pubs and a hotel with a "posh' restaurant and local shops are all within 100 metre's of Fern House.
Grassington moor is just behind you with endless opportunities for some beautiful walks or go down by the river for a more sedate walk.Absolutely couldn't fault anything and the weather was fairly kind to us for January.We will definitely be coming back to Grassington and hopefully to Fern House.
Thanks Andrew and Hazel
We had a lovely few days here and loved every minute. The apartment was in a perfect spot in the village and great walks right on your doorstep. The property was very clean and smelled lovely and fresh. We enjoyed the muffins and biscuits too when we arrived, thank you! We will definately be returning very soon. It was the relaxing break we really needed.
One thing we did notice was on the property details it mentioned a tumble dryer and slow cooker in the utility room but we didn't see them in there. It didn't make any difference to our stay though.
Thank you once again.

A superb place to stay with everything you need to ensure you have a perfect time. The property is easy to find in the centre of Grassington and surrounded by great restaurants, pubs, cafes and quaint shops. We had such a good experience that we decided to park the car in the dedicated parking place provided and leave the car for the full week as we enjoyed the property and location so much
Excellent location in the heart of Grassington. Perfect spot to explore surrounding towns. Lovely cottage with parking. Everything you need just beware the steep stairs and bathroom on different level to bedroom.
We had a thoroughly lovely stay in Fern House. What a delightful, well equipped and comfortable place. I would recommend this to anyone looking to stay in the Dales. Lots of great information on lovely walks nearby. Beautiful part of the world. Thanks to Andrew and Hazel!
