The Folly | Stunning Yorkshire Hot Tub Break

About The Folly

Nestled in a rural location in Linton near Grassington, North Yorkshire, with stunning views of the rolling countryside and farmland, discover The Folly. The Folly is situated within the owner's grounds, alongside the Grade II-listed Brows View House; the reputed birthplace of Richard Fountaine.

Benefitting from a stylish studio-style layout, private patio with hot tub and set within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, The Folly welcomes two guests, ideal for a couple or solo traveller seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Upon entering your new home-from-home, take the weight off your feet by sinking into the plush sofa, clicking on the Smart TV to saviour some light entertainment as your other half pops the kettle on.

Take advantage of a modest but superb array of kitchen appliances, perfect for rustling up home-cooked meals before tucking in and toasting to a wonderfully romantic retreat! If you prefer to spend your evenings alfresco, why not step out onto the South facing private patio where you can bask in the indulgence of a bubbling hot tub to rest your tired legs after a long day?

Enjoy your lovely setting as the stars appear overhead, all before freshening up in the sleek shower room and climbing into a sumptuous king-size bed to catch your beauty sleep in preparation for another day of fun-filled activities. When youâ€™re ready to kickstart your itinerary, embark on a scenic stroll to Linton Falls which resides only paces away from your doorstep, cross the delightful Stepping Stones, before arriving at Hebden Suspension Bridge, giving you a stunning glimpse up the River Wharfe.

Close by you can also enjoy the Grass Wood Nature Reserve and Parcevall Hall Gardens, consisting of 24 acres of formal and woodland gardens, ideal for a couples picnic. Just a short walk from Linton Falls is the beautiful village of Grassington where filming of the TV series All Creatures Great & Small takes place.

The Folly Reviews

Beautifully presented and wonderful location

Weve just returned from a fantastic long weekend at The Folly, property was spotlessly clean , with a modern interior, and everything was top quality, comfiest bed, loveliest shower, hot tub to temperature , its amazing what Chris and Sally have done with the space theyve made it so homely too, everything you need and they were fantastic hosts. We were greeted on arrival, shown around, given all the information we needed, nothing was too much trouble , we will definitely be returning. Location is fantastic with beautiful views and walks on your doorstep, i would recommend to any couple looking to book in this area. Fabulous

The accommodation was exceptionally clean and well maintained. It had everything we needed for our stay. On arrival we were met by the owner who showed us how to operate the hot tub. The bed was very comfortable and plenty of towels were provided, including dressing gowns. The hot tub was very clean and was upto temperature even on the 1st night. I would definitely recommend this property. In an ideal beautiful location for walking or visiting the local pub just down the lane.

When we first arrived at The Folly, we realised it was exactly like the photos on the Sykes website. The property was absolutely pristine. The hosts had supplied little touches, coffee, tea, sugar and milk, also cleaning products and tea towels. There were towels and bath robes too. The Folly is in an idyllic village of Linton. We had a wonderful stay.

Samantha

What a gem of a place, absolutely spotless, such a beautiful outlook, the owners have thought about everything to make your stay very comfortable. Very impressed, and would give more stars if available, definitely recommend as not only the accommodation but the area is also worth a visit not leaving out the local pub literally a couple minutes walk

Katherine

Came here for a five night break in late September having already been four nights near York. First impressions were good and it just kept on getting better from there really. A clean and modern looking interior, and yet somehow quite a homely feel to it as well. No easy thing to accomplish with such a limited floor space, but the owners have made some clever decisions about what to include here. The highlights for us were the hot tub every evening the weather would allow and the coffee table with the top that raised to a comfortable height for TV dinners. Don't forget the views either. Every window framed another picture of typically lovely Yorkshire countryside. Would absolutely recommend this to any couple looking to explore the area. Just leave a week free for us to come back too!!

Elaine

Property is beautiful and has everything you need. Plenty of outside space with the hot tub and seating area. Chris and Sally are wondering attentive and can't be more helpful. Would definitely recommend The Folly.

A beautiful place to stay with fantastic facilities, would recommend to anyone!

Lovely cottage in a beautiful village. Very welcoming and helpful hosts. Had a fantastic relaxing week with walks from the door. Would highly recomend this great cottage.

Stuart

We had a great time in the Folly. It had everything we needed for our short stay. It's a lovely location and very restful. You were very helpful and friendly. We'd have no qualms about recommending it to our friends and family.

Chris and Sally gave us a very friendly welcome and were very helpful throughout our stay. The folly is just right for a couple and has all the equipment for a comfortable stay. The Folly is set is beautiful countryside and is within walking distance of shops. There is a very good pub in the village.

Joanne

The village of Linton is perfectly beautiful, but staying at the Folly made our stay more amazing. The Folly is comfortable, impeccably clean with all modern amenities, yes small but perfectly designed for a comfortable stay for two and a dog. Chris & Sally were very welcoming and friendly with lots of advice and information on the local area and surrounding areas. We would highly recommend and hope to return in the future. Thank you Chris & Sally we had a wonderful holiday

Lovely property, extremely well furnished and kitted out with everything you could possibly need. The location is great for being able to walk out and we will definitely recommend to friends.

Excellent location and private, great for a relaxing break

Just back from a perfect stay at the Folly in Linton, l can only describe this place as a little bit of heaven, the accommodation is perfect, spotless with everything you need. Sitting in the hot tub at night with a glass of bubbly was perfection ,it is so peaceful and quiet, hosts are very welcoming and helpful we had our dog with us, she loved all the walks , if l could give this 10 stars l would , we will definitely come back one day. Ate out at the Fountainne Inn which is just over a little bridge , food really nice , walked to Grassington twice which takes about 20 mins through Linton falls , had food at the black horse which was lovely, also the Devonshire armsnot so keen but ok the Corner Cafe for breakfast is not to be missed , went to Bolton Abbey, great circular walk with a dog, took about 2 12 hours , also Grimwith reservoir is a great 2 hour walk, this little accommodation is a hidden gem not to be missed.

Andrew

Lovely accomodation in a tranquil setting. The owners were also very helpful and friendly. Would recommend staying here to anyone.

Jackie

Chris and Sally couldn't be more welcoming and helpful. The folly was a beautifully restored accommodation. Done to a very high standard to make it a comfortable accommodation to stay in. It had been fully stock with every thing you need for a comfortable stay. In all would recommend the folly as a place to stay when visiting the Yorkshire dales.

Perfect setting , spotlessly clean great use of space , went for my husbands ... Perfect setting , spotlessly clean great use of space , went for my husbands 50tj and they even left a card for him when we arrived and a blanket for the dog

Lovely stay at the Folly. The hosts were very helpful with directions and information about the area, showed us round the property and then left us to it. The Folly is immaculate inside and also outside on the patio. Quality towels and bedding and robes provided made this a luxury stay. Thoroughly relaxing with a hot tub. Our dog was welcome. The location is stunning. I would highly recommend

Perfect location! Accommodation was clean, well thought out with comfort considered and well equipped. Hosts were approachable, friendly and very welcoming. Would definitely return here! Mark, Helen and Zorro

Robert

We arrived at the folly and it was ready and very clean had everything we needed beautiful views It was definitely what we need I would definitely co. E back and recommend to friends and family thank to Sally All the best Rob

What a fabulous stay! Everything within the Folly is top quality and well thought out to make the most of the space whilst providing for your every need. Chris and Sally are the perfect hosts, making sure you have everything you need and offering great advice on things to do in the local area. The bed is super comfortable! There are lovely walks right out of the door, and the Fountaine Arms is a short walk over the bridge, and serves lovely food. Given it was a week in March, the weather was very good, and the Folly remained warm and cosy for evenings spent relaxing after busy days. The hot tub is a great way to ease any aches and pains. Waking in the morning and looking out on the new born lambs was a real treat. We highly recommend staying here, and will return to explore more of the glory of the Yorkshire Dales.

My partner and I recently spent a threenight stay at this charming countryside cottage. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the immaculate cleanliness and the cozy, wellappointed interiors. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring restful nights. One of the standout features was the private hot tub, which was both pristine and wonderfully relaxing, offering a perfect end to our days. Our hosts were attentive and thoughtful, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The cottages location was ideal, nestled in a tranquil setting with picturesque views of the rolling hills. Overall, our experience was nothing short of delightful. We left feeling rejuvenated and are already planning our return visit. We highly recommend this retreat to anyone seeking a peaceful and luxurious getaway. Thankyou Chris and Sally !! Pam & Martin

Had a really great stay at The Folly. Wonderful location for walking, countryside views and the pub literally across the green. Linton is a picture perfect village. The Folly itself is as described, it's a compact space that has been cleverly designed, and was fine for 2 of us and a dog. Great to have the hot tub, and the owners were lovely and keep the place immaculate. Quality decor and furnishings, and bed sofa is super comfy too. It had everything we needed for a mixture of selfcatering and eating out.

Lovely and friendly hosts, and beautiful location

Matthew

Beautiful cottage in a great location. Kind and helpful owners. Would definitely stay again

We absolutely loved our stay at the Folly. Everything was perfect. We commented on how lovely the interiors were, how well equipped it was and how it was done to such a lovely spec. It was such a perfect location for a quick drink or lovely roast at the pub, as well as some beautiful walks. Thank you so much for all your additional help during our stay, and for being so friendly and approachable. We had a bit of trouble with the hottub our own fault, and you could not have been more accommodating, something that not many other owners would have done for guests. We will definitely be back soon, as we actually got engaged on our trip to the Folly! We look forward to returning in the near future for another stay at the lovely Folly.

Deborah

Our stay was fabulous. We have not visited Yorkshire before and we found it amazing. Linton village particularly was beautiful. The hot tub was a great addition to the stay. We both commented on the absolute peace of the location with zero noise pollution. The Folly was slightly smaller than the photos indicated but it was still a lovely accommodation. The bed was amazingly comfortable, even my husband agreed, and that is something rare!!

Rebecca

What a lovely place to stay. Really warm welcome, great communication from hosts. Easy to find from the info on the listing. Lovely walk into Grassington, beautiful surroundings. Hot tub was fab! Thank you so much for having us.

Really lovely time , Chris and Sally are great hosts . Beautiful property and location Definitely would return

Darren

Great little place, very cosy during our stay which was minus degrees and frosty outdoors. The decor is very neutral and felt modern yet cottagie. The bed was very comfortable and the place was immaculately clean. Some great walks to Burnsall and Conistone via the falls. Not too far to walk into the beautiful little village of Grassington but if you cant manage the walk, Linton is very picturesque and the Fountaine pub is great for food and decent beers.

Lovely property but extremely small.

A fantastic place and location to stay, with amazing views. The owners were lovely, friendly and helpful people. We will definitely be back!

Edward

Had an absolutely fabulous stay at the Folly for a week. Facilities were fantastic. Everything in the property was top of the range. Cooker, hob, fridge freezer shower was all excellent. The hot tub was excellent and well maintained by Chris and Sally. They both made us so welcome. The only complaint I have is we couldnt stay another week ! Thank you Chris and Sally for your hospitality and I dont think it will be too long before we return to your beautiful Folly kind regards Eddie & Julie Jones

Lovely property in picturesque village in Linton. Clean and cosy. Stunning views to enjoy breakfast with!

Lorraine

Beautiful place to stay perfect for couples, lots of places to walk and local pub is only a 3 minute walk. Chris and his family made us feel very welcome and The Folly is luxury especially with the hot tub we slept very well for the week we were there. We will return and definitely recommend this place to stay

Excellent overall, lovely welcome, thank you, we will be back Sue and Chris

Christine

Beautiful clean well equipped cottage with fabulous views so peaceful lovely pub with excellent food just a step away hot tub used daily a bonus chris and Sally full of knowledge about the area for walking will answer any questions hope to visit again soon for some peace and quiet lovely family run cottage EXCELLENT A

Delightful property with great finish fabulous shower & good quality hot tub ,the hosts cannot do enough for you fresh milk a lovely touch,the local pub is literally a stones throw away over a lovely little bridge,if we had to say anything slightly negative it is smaller than we expected & the parking would be nice if it was directly outside the property but a lovely stay.

Jacqueline

Had a lovely welcoming stay at The Folly, the property was immaculate inside and out. Everything needed for a perfect 3 night stay. The hot tub was a lovely place to soak in after hours of nearby walks and one evening caught the stars above. Fully enclosed garden for our dog was also peace of mind. Pub across the green was lovely too, go online and book though as people without bookings and dogs would have to wait. A lovely stay, would recommend and would definitely return, thanks Chris and Sally.
