Finest Retreats | Tyg Cottage

Welcome to Tyg Cottage. This lovely terraced cottage is perfect for that romantic getaway set in the village of Grewelthorpe, just 4 miles from Masham. The village is the quintessential of what a Yorkshire village should be, with a large duck pond in the centre surrounded by grassed and flowered areas. From your cottage door, there are wonderful walks to the very popular, ancient Hackfall Woods, great for that early morning walk with the dogs.

Grewelthorpe is also home to the Himalayan Garden and Sculpture Park that has many visitors each year. Grewelthorpe lies between the unspoilt market town of Masham, 4 miles away, and the historic city of Ripon, 7 miles. Also easily accessible by car is the popular spa town of Harrogate and Pateley Bridge, a previous winner of the ‘High Street of the Year’. Other very popular local attractions include stunning Brimham Rocks, Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal World Heritage Site, the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Parks, Ripley Castle, breweries in Masham and endless scenic views. Slightly further afield is the North Yorkshire coastline and the fascinating city of York. Shop 1½ miles, pub and restaurant 25 yards.

The pub next door, The Crown Inn, is open 7 days a week and serves lovely food. Booking a table is advised before.

The property was clean and tidy, and warmly decorated, and the letters responded kindly and promptly to a couple of our questions. Overall, it was a wonderful holiday and Tyg Cottage was a good base to visit all the nooks and crannies of the Dales.

It’s a cosy little well-equipped cottage, in a wonderful little village. Great walks on our doorstep in Hackfall Woods, ideally located for our trips to York, Ripon, Harrogate and Knaresborough plus all the amazing countryside that North Yorkshire has to offer. A great place to stay in a great area.

The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. It was actually a little bigger than we expected and was nicely furnished.

It was great to have tea, coffee, hot chocolate, milk and biscuits provided. The wood burning stove was great and made it very cosy. There were lovely walks both nearby and within a short drive. We visited the cafe in Grewelthorpe Village Hall a few times and enjoyed the refreshments there. The local pub is being refurbished at present so it wasn’t open. It was only a short distance to MashamRipon by car however, and there were plenty of places to eat there. We would recommend the cottage to anyone wanting a lovely, relaxing break and would be happy to return in the future.

One of the best cottages I've ever stayed at. Excellent amenities and location for walking. Super clean and stocked with essentials. Information booklet about local area and instructions for all appliances were super useful. Can't recommend highly enough.

What a wonderful little place in the Yorkshire countryside. Everything you need for a comfortable stay in the area and a great base to explore around North Yorkshire. The house is clean, tidy and has everything you need for a decent stay (I was there for 10 days), would definitely stay again. Only downside is that there isn't much in Grewelthorpe itself (the pub beside the house is closed down) and so you have to go by car to get to somewhere, but there are plenty of places close by.

Lovely little cottage, ideal for two. Had everything there we needed. Shame the pub wasn’t open while staying there but great place to stay while exploring the area.

A lovely cosy property situated in fabulous countryside and easy reach to Ripon and places of interest. The property benefited from a large car park which was empty due to the village pub currently being unoccupied. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and must thank the hosts for providing all mod cons plus some welcome essentials such as milk to kick things off perfectly!

The property was very clean and the bed was comfortable and it was very quiet. Lack of live Tv, we didn’t have any tv at all until Monday as the remote was not working and then you can only watch iPlayer for any live tv. Disappointing as not described on site. Much smaller than thought on sight in the main living area.
