About this property
Fern House, Grassington; central yet parking & quiet, light & period elegance
"Excellent accommodation, everything about it was to our liking and will definitely book again. Been many times to Grassington and Fern House was the best accommodation we have stayed in." Ian from Manchester, August 2017
We aim never to be beaten on price /value. If you see a comparable local holiday cottage at a better price, we will aim to match it. We are also currently offering late booking discounts for a limited period, for bookings within four weeks of arrival subject to availability. 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.
"Fully equipped with every mod con and packaged beautifully, with really lovely decor. I would wholeheartedly recommend this home from home, as the base for a wonderful scenic experience. The apartment itself has everything you could want and more." Lisa H, from London (part of a 5 star Trip Advisor review).
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in Fern House Holiday Apartment, Grassington. We appreciate how valuable your holiday time and spending budget is to you. We travel and stay in holiday rentals ourselves and over the years we have developed a very clear sense of what makes an excellent and enjoyable place to stay - and importantly what doesn’t!
We enjoy using this knowledge and experience to provide beautiful, exceptional value, convenient home-from-home holiday accommodation. Your holiday experience is important to us and so we consistently strive to maintain excellent standards - our goal is to be a place our guests love and appreciate, can’t wait to tell their friends about and desire to return to again and again.
This is holiday accommodation that goes the extra mile for you and we'd love for you to discover and enjoy our holiday rental gem yourselves. Here is a summary of what Fern House has to offer you…
Top floor...
Master bedroom: treasure a good night's sleep in the tastefully furnished master bedroom with hotel quality super king-sized bed (which can become two single beds) topped with fluffy feather & duck down duvets and pillows & crisp white cotton bed-linen. This room boasts a stunning giant landscape image of the Yorkshire dales, a unique hand painted wardrobe set with plenty of hanging and storage space, a small desk, wicker chairs, views over the rooftops and Fold from the large Georgian window plus a large roof skylight window.
Second Lounge / Second Bedroom: a comfy room with a large chaise longue (or, on request, made up as a second double or twin bedroom with the option of the chaise longue made up as a double or single sofa-bed plus a further single IKEA Lycksele chair bed with best quality mattress), a 40" flat-screen Sony TV's with DVD player, music player, a selection of classical music, maps (including a helpful Yorkshire Dales raised relief map on the wall), book and DVD info on the Yorkshire Dales. Views over the rooftops and Fold from the large Georgian window, plus a large roof skylight window.
First Floor:
Lounge / dining room: this elegant and peaceful room with period features and views over stone-tiled rooftops and quaint Dickensian style court yard provides an enjoyable place to relax and dine; the room has a 40" flat-screen Sony TV's with DVD player, a comfy sofa, mood lighting, a selection of games.
Shower room: stylish contemporary shower-room with dual-head shower, pearlescent mosaic tiles, soft white towels, ambient lighting and mirrors.
Kitchen: a fully equipped home-from-home kitchen maintained to the highest standards of cleanliness; elegant table and bar stools positioned in a place to enjoy views over the historic Pletts Fold courtyard below (and glimpses into the main market square area of Grassington) - it makes a great spot to use a computer while having cuppa or a convenient place for breakfast; the kitchen also has a CD player with range of classical music and a selection of cook books.
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).

Why they chose this property
Fern House was the best property we could find of this type... We thought it would be brilliant in terms of period style, layout, design and location for guests being tucked away in a quiet courtyard in the very heart of Grassington, with vital allocated car parking and restful garden seating area.
What makes this property unique
We love Fern House - With it's character, charm, elevated views over the historic court yard, abundance of natural light, convenient amenities on the door step while still having privacy, reserved parking and friendly locals.
Grassington has beautiful architecture and many historic buildings - it's such a pretty and welcoming town to simply wander around, relax and soak up the atmosphere. We personally also spend many hours at the nearby Bolton Abbey estate and feel privileged to have access to this spectacular country estate.
