Grassington: Fern House Holiday Rental

Fern House welcomes guests throughout the year and has built a strong record of five-star reviews, repeat guest bookings and recommendations. Grassington is a traditional Yorkshire market town surrounded by the landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales, with its cobbled streets, village square, local festivals and distinctive rural character. It has also become internationally recognised as the filming location for Darrowby in Channel 5's All Creatures Great & Small, as well as featuring in Dolittle, Wuthering Heights, The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby and A Boy, A Girl and a Bike. For motorcyclists, Fern House makes an excellent base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales. Grassington sits within a network of scenic riding roads through valleys, moorland and traditional villages, with popular routes taking in Wharfedale, Malham, Hawes, Wensleydale and beyond. Iconic motorcycle roads and passes including Buttertubs Pass, Fleet Moss and the B6255 are all within reach, making it easy to build anything from a short local ride to a full-day Dales loop. The Dales offer the kind of riding that makes the journey itself the destination - sweeping valley roads, narrow lanes, high moorland passes, dry-stone walls, open views and plenty of traditional villages and cafés along the way. Riders can also access legally designated off-road routes where permitted, with the National Park providing specific guidance on responsible motorcycle use. Around 10 minutes away is the magnificent Bolton Abbey Estate, with its 12th-century Priory, River Wharfe, famous Stepping Stones, ancient Strid Wood and the dramatic Strid, as well as the Valley of Desolation, Barden Tower and miles of walking through protected landscapes rich in wildlife and flora. Fern House offers a year-round base for experiencing traditional English countryside life, local culture and some of the finest landscapes and riding in the Yorkshire Dales.
