The Folly Reviews

Matthew

The Folly a gorgeous little place! We had a lovely weekend stay here. Chris & Sally have made it perfect for their guests. Thank you for having us & would 100 recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing break.

Myself and my partner booked 7 nights here and had an absolutely wonderful time. Despite the harsh weather, with gorgeous sights and stunning walks, we never found ourselves bored. The hot tub was perfect and gave us the most beautiful and comfortable atmosphere for seeing the stars on clear nights. With Skipton only a 15 min drive away we never had an issue with food or anything of the sort. The owners are very kind and always happy to help and provide if you need anything. The folly is honestly such a peaceful place and perfect for a romantic getaway

Pauline

We had a wonderful relaxing stay at The Folly. Nice personal touches, coffee, sugar, tea & dressing gowns. Very clean hot tub, which unfortunately the weather stopped us using it as much as we would have liked.

Had a lovely stay, so peaceful and quiet and surrounded by absolutely stunning views. If youre wanting to get away into what feels like the middle of nowhere then I would definitely recommend here. Lots of lovely walks all around, local pub serves lovely food and not too far away from the shops! Hosts were great and always on hand to help if anything was needed, thanks again!

We're just back from from spending Christmas week in this lovely little holiday cottage, next door to owners property in a quaint village. Cottage was well equipped & had everything we needed for our stay. Owners were lovely, met us on arrival to run through everything & caught up with us again before we left to ask if everything had been ok & whether we had any suggestions to improve the cottage, we didn't we were quite happy with it as it is.

Alison

Absolutely loved The Folly! ! Immaculate, everything you need is there, hosts were lovely, there to greet us and show us everything and were fab when we woke up to no power due to the storm!! Location is amazing and local pub was fabulous too!! Highly recommend!! Thank you

Catherine

Beautiful place to stay everything was immaculate the furnishings top quality and the hot tub was perfect. Excellent location close to lots of attractions and the pub within walking distance , would recommend and definitely book again also dog friendly.

Matthew

Lovely stay at the Folly! Chris and Sally were very accommodating and the place was exceptionally clean. Would recommend to friends and family.

Superb place to stay. Fantastic for 2 people. Best hot tub weve had in a rental and the place has been beautifully renovated. Somewhere to put muddy boots would be the only recommendation but I believe that may already be in the pipeline. Thanks for our stay we loved it

We had a lovely relaxing 3 nights stay at the Folly. A beautifully presented cottage, friendly welcome from the owners, a large comfy bed, outdoor patio with seating and a hot tub with fabulous views! The local pub is a few minutes walk from the property, serving great food and real ale. Plenty of scenic walks, eateries and attractions nearby and further afield. Can't praise this property enough. We will be back. Thank you Sally and Chris.

Lovely little property. All amenities were high spec. The large bed was really comfy and the hot tub was perfect after those long walks. The hosts were very welcoming. Lovely pub across the road which serves a fantastic Sunday roast and evening meals.

Kathryn

We have just returned from a short stay at The Folly and what can I say other than wow! We booked this as our first break away as a couple after having our son 3 years ago and came away feeling well and truly relaxed. The location is the perfect base to explore the Dales and Linton itself is beautiful with a lovely pub just steps away from the property. The Folly was well equipped, spotlessly clean and felt cosy without feeling cramped due to the bright and modern decor and layout. I could have spent hours looking out of the dressing table window across the unspoilt views of the fields! At the front of the property was a beautiful hot tub with the same gorgeous views definitely recommend getting up early and braving the cold to watch the sun rise over the fields beautiful! Chris and Sally were very friendly and welcoming making sure we knew everything we needed to know about the property on arrival and met us to say farewell when we departed. We would definitely recommend The Folly to anyone who is looking for a relaxing break away. Thank you for having us and we hope to be back in the future!

Lovely relaxed enjoyable stay at the Folly, friendly welcome from the hosts, Chris and Sally. The accommodation has everything you need and is set in a beautiful countryside location with great views, walks and a pub just a few minutes walk away. Very dog friendly pub too. Will definitely be returning soon.

We had a lovely few days in the Folly. Very clean and the hot tub was lovely with great veiws and a lovely pub just over the road.

Ashley

Nessled at the end of a very quiet lane, our first impression of The Folly was simply WOW!

If you are looking for a rural, cosy hideaway, located in a charming village, surrounded by green fields with a pub less than 2 mins walk away, then The Folly is the place for you. Fully equipped inside and out, with its own private patio, BBQ and hotub, this accommodation makes the perfect home away from home. The Folly has been finished to a high standard, light and bright decor gives a spacious, modern feel and had everything needed for a comfortable stay making it the perfect base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales National Park region. Chris and Sally were wonderful hosts and were always on hand if we needed any assistance or recommendations. We absolutely loved our time at The Folly, as did our Sprocker and we would 100 recommend The Folly for your next getaway.

Absolutely lovely little cottage in a truly stunning location

Fantastic stay in a perfect property

Patrick

Everything you need is available in 'The Folly' apart from your food items as its selfcatering. Beautiful, peaceful area and lovely hosts nearby if needed. Extra bonus is having a hot tub to relax in whenever you feel the need. Highly recommended by both of us!

Excellent location. Chris and Sally were very welcoming. The folly is compact but has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The hot tub was wonderful. Linton is a beautiful village with a good pub across the bridge. Hopefully we will stay again in the future.

Our stay at The Folly was excellent, very well done out, everything you could want in the property top spec. Owners are friendly and helpful with lots of local knowledge of the surrounding area. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again without hesitation.

We had a wonderful stay at the foley! Couldnt recommend enough. Host greeted us on arrival and showed us round, he went through everything we needed to know about staying at the property and was always on call for any questionsproblems.

The location was nice and peaceful which is exactly what we wanted, and was in the centre of everything we had planned for our stay.

My partner and I enjoyed a 3 night stay at the folly. The Folly was beautifully set out, spotless and well equipped. The hosts were lovely and ensured our stay went smoothly and were always on hand to answer any queries or troubles we had if any. The hosts went out of their way to check in and make sure that we were having the perfect stay at the folly. We look forward to booking again in the future and have already recommended the Folly to family and friends. Thankyou again!

Joanne

Just had a lovely 3 night stay at the Folly, its in a great location, lovely walks and a traditional local pub across the bridge. Grassington and Burnsall definitely worth a visit. The Folly is well equipped and tastefully decorated, the courtyard was ideal for our small dog and when your sitting relaxing in the private hot tub the views are stunning. Hosts Chris and Sally are friendly and helpful, we will definitely be booking again. Jo

Adrienne

Before we arrived we were sent a welcome message and from that moment, through to our last day both Chris and Sarah could not do enough to ensure our stay was exactly how and what we wanted. Me and my friend, wanted a mini break for relaxation, countryside, walking and peacewe got all of that and more. The local village pub, the Fountaine Inn was lovely, food was fantastic and the service was welcoming and friendly. The Folly had everything we required and was the clean, well maintained and Chris and Sarah, have done an amazing job and outstanding finishing touches. Cannot recommend the owners or place enough and will definitely recommend and be staying again! See you soon, love Adrienne & Sophi

Our stay at The Folly was just perfect! We had a lovely cosy stay and the owners Chris and Sally were very welcoming and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The Folly was absolutely spotless and was a very comfortable stay, we could not fault The Folly at all! The owners even made a lovely effort to put happy birthday banners up for my birthday! A lovely location too with a great pub right across from the property and nice walks into the next villages. Wed highly recommend The Folly and will definitely be returning! Thank you both for a great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at The Folly, the place was modern and clean, finished to a high standard. It had everything that you could possibly need, with beautiful views! The hosts were very friendly and accommodating couldnt have asked for anything more

Really enjoyable stay. Accomodation was first class. High standard finish and thought of everything. Would recommend to anyone.

Madeleine

Idyllic stay at The Folly We spent a fantastic three days staying at this property. We arrived to Morris dancers dancing on the village green and The Folly is just over the road from this. The property is immaculate and has everything you could wish for and we loved the hot tub from where you could gaze over the field at the sheep grazing. The owners Chris and Sally could not have been more helpful and friendly ! Linton is an idyllic Yorkshire village with a great pub just across the green which has a stream flowing through it and picture perfect bridge. The Folly is the ideal place from which to explore the Yorkshire Dales.

Great place ideal location. Has everything you need and more. Owners are great too.

Great things come in small packages, and thats exactly what this does. Absolutely superb stay in a beautiful location with everything you need just a short walk away ! Rural Paradise with great hosts

3 night stay 19th 22nd May Delightful and well equipped cottage in beautiful surroundings. Perfect for a relaxing stay. Great hot tub. We highly recommend 'The Folly' and wish Chris and Sally well and hope to stay again sometime soon . Julie and John

Michael

Located in the picturesque Linton village with a dog friendly decent pub within a stones throw distance . Owners live next door and helpful to make sure the stay went well.
