Grassington Lodge

When we arrived at our room past check in time the room was only partially prepared! Tge bed stripped, rubbish in room, uncovered, dirty towels on floor, I then tried for one hour to get through to someone to explain. They did sort the problem but it definitely spoiled the birthday trip

I didn't like the fact There was no staff around my husband fell on the stairs and his arm was bleeding I looked for a first aid kit but none to be seen. the bathroom even though no one else used it was not in the room. I had to go to the local shop for plaster to cover the wound from the fall the bed was very comfortable

Average Noisy. Sounded like a heard of elephants upstairs. Poor Wi-Fi, dropping in and out. Don't expect to be able to take meetings from your room. Bed was uncomfortable. Clearly in need of new mattresses but they've added some horrendous toppers which exacerbate the problem.

I had a really happy night in Grassington Lodge . The room was spacious , with a sofa plus table and chairs. Clear instructions were sent to me about how to access my room. I was left real milk for my drinks and the bed was ultra comfy. Everything looked clean and pristine. The pubs, shops and walks are minutes away too so not having food available isn’t inconvenient. Especially if you like exploring. It’s a perfect place to stay.

My biggest "problem" was difficulty in parking after arriving late afternoon. All designated spaces were already taken but fortunately someone staying there helped us use the parking for e vehicles. When I contacted someone thru ******* they said parking was first come basis. They advised that the National Park Car Park was an option. We made arrangements to leave car there for the next few nights just in case. That would not have been a hardship as it would have been a short walk. I think the Lodge should do a better job explaining this as a viable option. They also suggested parking on the road but there was never space I would consider safe from being struck by traffic. Room was very nice as was the rest of the property.

I stay in a wide range of properties across the UK, and my one consistent expectation is cleanliness above all other things. Grassington Lodge fell far short of this in room 7. On my arrival, there was hair in the bathtub, dead spiders & detritus scattered around the bathroom, and something suspect in the toilet. I couldn't tell if the room hadn't been used for a while or just not properly cleaned after the last guest. I ended up using the shower in my friends' room since the bathtub (which is showing wear & tear) was my only option in room 7. Inside the hotel, there are plenty of stairs and no lift/elevator. It is also a self-check-in property, meaning there is no employee at a front desk. Guests punch in a code at the front door and find their keys inside their rooms. Best for low-maintenance travelers only. The car park is also difficult to manage. I and several other guests struggled to get our vehicles in and out. Also to note: Room 7 is on the highest floor, and the hotel's free WiFi did not reach my area. The lodge's location is extremely convenient to Grassington. The town square is just around the corner. Fans of All Creatures Great and Small will be delighted by the shops, cafes, pubs, and country walks. My friends were in a room on a lower floor and didn't seem to have the same issues. Even so, I will stay elsewhere if I return to this part of the UK. 'Rough & Ready' is the best phrase I can think of to describe the lodge per my experience.
