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

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.

Jennie

Excellent accommodation, really clean and well thought out. The location is fantastic for walks in the dales. Chris & Sally were friendly & helpful but not intrusive. The patio & hot tub were lovely & peaceful, looking out over fields. A patio umbrella for hot days would be helpful as it was in the sun for most of the day with no shade. Will definitely highly recommend to others.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Folly, very modern and cosy, just what we needed for a few days break and the hot tub was great and just what we needed after some long walks. Everything is on your doorstep for nice walks with beautiful scenery. Chris and Sally were very pleasant and friendly and always on hand if you needed any advice or help. Would deffo stay again.

Sabrina

The Folly has everything you need for a break in the Yorkshire Dales! Everything has been done to a high standard with well thought out amenities to make your stay comfortable. The enclosed patio is perfect for dog owners. We enjoyed visiting malham and Grassington whilst we were here. Would highly recommend!

The property is exactly as described. The location is idyllic and the views breathtaking. We were met by the hosts at the property, where we were given a quick run through of where everything was within the property. The kitchen was fully equipped. The bed was unbelievably comfy. The location is ideal for lots of walks within the area. Or just to unwind for a few days. We would definitely recommend The Folly.

Lovely cottage with stunning views and in perfect location for walking and the pub! A little tight in the cottage, but we had such great weather we were out for most of the time and when in the cottage mostly in the hot tub! Hosts were super helpful and friendly and we really enjoyed our stay! Will be back hopefully next summer.

Joshua

Had a lovely weekend at the folly such a quiet relaxing place with stunning views. Chris and sally were the most welcoming hosts, my wife and I would definitely return.

Rachael

From the moment we drove down the lane everything was perfect

Richard

Really friendly host, thank you for a lovely stay. We will definitely return.

A delightful peaceful setting and a comfortable and stylish property. Lovely hosts available if needed. Great area for walking or relaxing. Local pub for good food. A great base for the Dales.

Kendra

We have just come back from a week at The Folly. We had a lovely relaxing break. The Folly is in a quiet, private location with stunning views. Chris and Sally are excellent hosts and communication was brilliant. The Folly is immaculate and well decorated with modern equipment and everything you need. It was lovely sitting in the hotub looking over the hills and watching the sheep. Thresfield is a peaceful village with a lovely pub that serves a good pint and delicious food. We would definitely return.

Chris and Sally were most welcoming hosts, the property was top class in every way and location perfect. Would to return.

Excellent base for a couple and pooch, especially if walking. Lovely location and idyllic setting. The Folly was immaculate. Communication was fantastic with the owners. Thank you.

Alison

We really enjoyed our stay at The Folly. The property was immaculate and well set up. You have all the amenities you need to cook and prepare food and The Fountaine Inn located across the bridge provided excellent food and drinks after a long day walking. The hot tub is private and looks out over fields, with only a few sheep for company. Great to sit back and enjoy some fizz while the sun goes down. There are lots of great walks and locations to visit from The Folly. We walked down to Grassington, passing Linton Falls, and enjoyed a coffee in one of the many cafesrestaurants. We also walked in the opposite direction past the neighbouring farm following a path to Hebden then back across to Grassington which was longer but full of fantastic views. All locations are dog friendly with many fully loaded treat jars on hand. Chris & Sally were so friendly and welcoming. They were happy to advise should you need recommendations and were on hand should you need anything. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay in the beautiful property, great location and will definitely return.

Had such a lovely little break was a last minute decision and we werent disappointed with the accommodation we found. Beautiful location with countryside all around. Sitting in the hot tub on an evening and in the morning was really peaceful. Plenty to do around the area a nice little pub very close by. Had a walk to Grassington across the river which is so picturesque and not very far. Could have explored further but we felt like taking it easy! Perfectly clean and comfortable accommodation. The only issue we had was with the TV and internet. We couldnt get any signal on the evenings when we tried to use it but wasnt too bothered as we came for everything else really. An additional feature we would recommend would be a little bbq outside. Thanks to the owners for accommodating us!

Judith

Location superb. Very well appointed. Chris and Sally very accommodating. Would definitely return.

Hannah

We had an amazing stay at The Folly, Sally and Chris were so welcoming and helped sort out a nice birthday surprise for my partner. We enjoyed our stay so much and are very sad to be home! We would love to come again. Thank you so much

Carlton

An absolutely amazing break at The Folly. Booking was simple. Chris and Sally went out of their way to make our stay memorable. The Folly is beautifully presented and we wanted for nothing. The hot tub was an added bonus after a long day exploring The Dales. The Fountaine Inn is a must for dinner. Book early to avoid disappointment. Thank you for a wonderful time. We will definitely be back.

Suzanne

Absolutely fantastic stay. Lovely scenery, within walking distance to lovely villages. The Folly was beautiful, clean and so comfy couldn't have asked for anything more had everything you need. Chris and Sally were so friendly and helpful. Will definately return.

Louise

We have just stayed at the Folly for 3 nights. The property was finished to a very high standard and very clean! We had everything we needed in the property and the enclosed garden was perfect to let our puppy have a little run around on his own. The hot tub was gorgeous after a long walk and not too hot like others we have been too! We loved walking through the fields and watching the lambs play. The village is small but very picturesque and the local pub was lovely and friendly. The owners of the property were very friendly and always on hand if you needed anything at all. We will be back! Thanks for a lovely stay. Louise, Chris and Pablo

Denise

This is a fantastic cottage very clean we stayed for 3nights, plenty of feedback ... This is a fantastic cottage very clean we stayed for 3nights, plenty of feedback from the owners, there if we needed them, the pub was a short walk away serving excellent food, we had our old dog with us so couldn't do any of the walks but there seemed to be plenty to do, lots of places to visit a short drive away, had a great weekend and would definitely recommend this cottage

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.

Lovely little property surrounded by lovely countryside with some nice walks on the doorstep. Emaculate property with beautiful modern interior and amenities. Lovely small enclosed outside area with hot tub. The host Chris and Sally at the Folly were great, made sure we had settled in and there if we needed them. The Pub across the bridge was an added bonus.

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.
