Our recent holiday at Moorside Farm was absolutely fantastic. The cottage is in a great location for visiting so much that the Dales have to offer, and Claire and Jason are the perfect hosts - friendly and very helpful. The cottage itself is spacious and has been beautifully converted to make it a great place to spend time with family and friends. When we arrived there was a thoughtful welcome package for us and also one for our dog too - very much appreciated. The cottage was absolutely spotless and had everything we needed plus (and this is unusual) plenty of fridge and freezer space for all the food we needed for 7 people for a week, thus saving valuable time for holiday activities rather than shopping constantly. The enclosed garden area meant that we could all relax with a cup of tea or a beer in the sunshine whilst knowing our dog was safe. Visits from the owners beautiful cat, Ice, made the experience even nicer. The Dales area itself has so much to offer, from stunning walks all around (Grassington to Grass Wood along the River Wharf was a particular favourite) to the wonders that are Malham Cove, Brimham Rocks and Fountains Abbey and all the other interesting and unique historical and natural sights and villages which abound. A week was definitely not long enough, I actually doubt that a year would be! All in all I would highly recommend Moorside Farm as a really great base for getting together and visiting this wonderful part of the UK. We certainly hope to be returning and this would be our no 1 choice...
Read moreA week over Christmas 2022 at Moorside Farm Holiday Cottage, Grassington, with our immediate family. Moorside was spotlessly clean and very well equiped, providing everything we needed for a perfect stay. The lounge area was spacious with large comfortable settees and a very welcoming log burning stove. The kitchen was fully kitted out with a spacious dining room off, as well as a scullery with large fridge, freezer, washing machine etc, everything for a home from home holiday. Upstairs the four bedrooms, providing sleeping accommodation for eight, suited us perfectly, naturally we bagged the en suite. An excellent family bathroom, along with a separate toilet/shower room, more than met family needs. The fitting out and decor of the property is superb, with attention to detail around every corner. A very well designed and laid out holiday rental. Over the holidays we managed to visit one or two of the local pubs in the area, but, to be honest, the log burning stove, complimented by the underfloor heating, kept drawing us back, so cosy, no rushing off out. There's plenty of secure off road parking. Excellent walks from the front door, not always available due to some bad weather, but when it's fine take advantage. Our family dog was also made very welcome, he even got his own welcome pack and bed. Great hosts, (Claire and Jason) next door, nothing was too much trouble to them. Moorside Farm Holiday Cottage is clearly their labour of love and it shows! Highly...
Read moreAfter staying in the cottage for a few weeks, I can guarantee that there’s no other place quite like it! The house was very cozy and a great fit for my friends and I.
All of the bedrooms and bathrooms were nice and tidy, and the living room was a great place to unwind in after being out for the whole day. The cottage was also equipped with supplies that could easily be forgotten, like dishwasher tablets and laundry capsules. The kitchen also had a variety of pans and pots that were useful when cooking!
The hospitality was another highlight. Claire and Jason were incredible hosts; they were always willing to help us out when we came across any issues, even if they didn’t need to (like issues with transportation, or dealing with very wet boots and jackets after a rainy day). They were always very friendly when we came across them in the mornings and evenings. Meeting their cats and being greeted by them was another thing that I really enjoyed!
I highly recommend staying in the cottage. The cottage itself, the hosts, and the beautiful views make it...
