The Folly Reviews

WOW. What a find! The accommodation was perfect for me and my husband. It had been beautifully renovated and there was absolutely nothing we would have changed. The hosts were beyond friendly and helpful but not overbearing. They even bought us a drink in the pub to congratulate us on our marriage which was just unbelievably kind and thoughtful. The location was absolutely fabulous. Gorgeous stone houses everywhere. Wonderful river walks and waterfalls to be seen. There is a delightful pub The Fountaine about 2 minutes walk away, staff and food were amazing. Beautiful stream flowing through the middle of the village with stepping stones across my daughter would have loved this Short walk into the quaint Grassington. Hot Tub was an added bonus and a wonderful way to wind down after a long day out walking. Honestly cannot fault this property or location at all. We would 1000 recommend and would love to go back again! BOOK IT! You won't be disappointed
Christina
We had an enjoyable week at The Folly. The hot tub was very welcome after long days walking the Dales. Very comfortable bed, soft towels and a well equipped kitchen.
Immaculately clean & extremely comfortable accommodation in a fabulous location. Very well equiped, quality bedding, fluffy towels and robes, what more could you want !
Andrew
Just returned from a week staying in The Folly. A perfect getaway in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. It's a delightful place in the picture perfect village of Linton with it's village green and the Fountain inn. Wonderful walks from the door step, it's spotlessly clean , very cosy, comfortable and so peaceful. Sally and Chris are so welcoming and helpful. The garden patio is dog friendly and secure, the addition of a hot tub is the cherry on the cake. You won't go wrong staying here, everything you need for a relaxing holiday.
Very clean and comfortable property. The Folly is in a perfect location for days out in the local area. Hot tub with great views and not overlooked. Very pleasant and helpful owners. Had a great week and will definitely be booking again in the future.
Elspeth
Ideal for us pristine clean, new, and provided everything we needed. The jacuzzi was a refreshing joy in the summer evenings outside with bird sound and beautiful views. The hosts were a delight and everything was explained clearly. We loved the location super characterful old village, excellent pub within walking distance with superb varied menu, lots of walks around the area a wonderful peaceful break.
Exactly as described, situated in a great village and location. Ideal for couple on walking holiday. Would highly recommend, lovely hosts and nothing was too much trouble.
Samantha
My mum and I had a lovely 3night stay at The Folly in Linton and we couldnt have asked for a better experience. The accommodation was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The location was peaceful and perfect for exploring the local area. The hosts were welcoming and made us feel right at home. We really enjoyed our stay and made some wonderful memories together. We would definitely recommend The Folly to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway, and wed love to come back in the future. Thank you for a fantastic stay!
Gwenda
What a little gem The Folly is in the beautiful, quiet village of Linton. Sally and Chris have thought of everything to make this a very comfortable retreat. Everything was spotlessly clean, the bed was super comfy and the towels and bathrobes were nice and soft. We arrived to find milk in the fridge and tea, coffee and sugar for our use. We enjoyed the walks up the fields and down to Linton Falls and on one wet day we caught the bus from the village to Skipton. We chose Linton as a base because of its proximity to Grassington which we love, and for the walks along the River Wharfe. We enjoyed watching the ewes and their lambs in the neighbouring field and watched the lambs grow bigger by the day. Anyone who enjoys the countryside will love The Folly. Another added bonus was the easy walk to The Fountaine Inn. We had a lovely Sunday lunch there and another tasty evening meal in the week. We mustnt forget to mention we had use of the hot tub too which was so warm and relaxing. Sally and Chris went out of their way to make everything perfect. We would definitely stay here again.
Kieran
A beautiful place great facilities and great area to relax, happened to go when it was a heatwave which we did get abit warm from time to time with thickness of duvet but wasnt the end of the world still got good sleep and bed was amazingly comfy! The owners where great and friendly would highly recommend to anyone
The Folly is fabulous! Spotless and well thought out. The owners are lovely and on hand for any issues we didnt have any The bed was very comfy and the benefit of having a hot tub after a days walking was bliss! The Folly is a studio apartment which is obviously indicative of the pricing and we found it more than adequate for our weeks stay with our dog. Everything is thought of to make our stay comfy and easy. The pub in the village is great as are all the places in Grassington. Very close to some great walking too. Thank you for a fabulous stay in your lovely place! Zoe, Neil and Bertie x P.S Garden is very dog safe important for us dog lovers!
Fantastic stay at the Folly. Chris and Sally go above and beyond to make you welcome, they are friendly and responsive with messages.The accommodation is comfortable , spotless , well maintained and tastefully decorated . Location is great , near to The Fountaine Inn , Grassington and many walks. Massive bonus having hot tub with fluffy towels ! Definitely recommend and stay again.
We had an amazing stay at The Folly Chris and Sally were so welcoming and accommodating, on top of that the room was spotless and so cosy! The location was beautiful with lots of lovely views. Thank you for having us we had a very lovely stay from start to finish.
Excellent stay at the folly, great location,lovely and quiet. Star watching in the hot tub a real joy.Great food and real ale at the Fountaine inn.Great access to many walks from your doorstep. Lovely hosts Chris and Sally,will definitely be returning next year if not before. Steve and Shirley.
Jonathan
Such a wonderful place to relax & be ourselves. Great friendly hosts, the most magical views of the moors & the sheep, & so many walks right outside of our door. Everything that we needed to have a romantic dinner too. Feel like it was a dream.
Jessica
We had a fantastic stay at The Folly. The place was absolutely spotless and furnished to a high standard, with underfloor heating in the bathroom and a comfy kingsize bed. Our hosts were so friendly and communicative. Always on hand to help with our questions throughout our stay. The location was just beautiful. Nestled in the Yorkshire countryside with a brilliant pub serving great food less than 100 metres away. Lots to do in the surrounding areas perfect if you have a dog love walking, but The Folly itself offered quiet and privacy. Finally, the hot tub, looking out onto open fields, was a great touch. Would highly recommend and would definitely come here again.
The Folly was the cleanest accommodation we have ever stayed in. So much thought has been put into this property. We were aware that the property would be small, but Chris and Sally managed to think of everything. The quality of everything in and around the property was top notch. Even though we were a stones throw away from their home, we did not see or hear them. We appreciated the foliage which afforded us privacy whilst in the hot tub. If you do want to eat at the pub across the green, may we suggest that you book in advance, as werent able to secure a table on the Sunday to celebrate our birthdays. All in all, a lovely, peaceful stay in a tranquil little village.
Robbie
Really enjoyed our stay at The Folly, Chris and Sally were very friendly and helpful While also respecting our privacy Lovely picturesque location would highly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing time in the dales.
Charlene
We stayed at this beautiful property at the end of April and were spoilt with unseasonably good weather. Chris and Sally were very welcoming and always on hand to answer any questions or make good suggestions about the local area, walks and a great recommendation for the Fountaine Inn pub at the end of the road. The accommodation itself is lovely, it is spotlessly clean and has all that you might need for your stay. The bed was extremely comfortable, the hot tub was great and had a genius addition of a little shelf on top of the reduced wall height so that you could rest your glasses or drink and appreciate the views over the field beyond. The arrival of a small flock of sheep and their lambs into the nursing field on our second day provided lots of entertainment that we were able to appreciate from the hot tub and the accommodation itself. There is a parking space for one small car as you reach the hosts property and The Folly is accessed via the hosts driveway. The Folly is separated from the hosts own property by an alleyway and although the proximity is close we always felt the hosts were extremely respectful of us as guests on holiday. The location was great, the short local walk to Linton Falls is not to be missed and driving through the Dales to Brimham Rocks and Coldstone Cuts and beyond were all extremely enjoyable. Pateley Bridge with its oldest sweet shop and a very welcoming crew of staff and locals at Cocoa Joes made for a lovely hour en route to Harrogate. All in all The Folly was all that we had hoped it would be and we hope to visit again soon!
Michael
We spent a week in the Folly. The owners Chris and Sally were on hand if there was anything we needed. Bed was really comfy. Underfloor heating was great to wake up to. Appliances all great spec. Linton is a beautiful village. Great walks. Will be back. Gill n Mike
The Folly was small, but perfect. It had everything you would need for a break away. Lovely views, hot tub great, we felt very relaxed after our stay there.
A beautiful compact short stay home in a stunning setting. The Folly had everything you needed and more. Everything had been considered and thought of to high spec. Comfortable and quiet, picturesque location. The owners clearly wish for you to have a memorable stay and ensure that youre happy with regular check ins and are always there should you need. Simply stunning in every way. Definitely recommend if youre needing some time away from life in general. Well done to you both and thank you xx
We had a lovely stay at The Folly. Its in the perfect location with beautiful scenery and lots of great walks. We walked into Grassington in about 20 minutes and it was a really scenic route, with plenty of shops, cafs and pubs once you get there. The cabin was spotless and had everything we needed, including towel robes for after using the hot tub. The hot tub was spacious and very relaxing, especially at night when we were lucky enough to have clear skies and could see the stars. Theres a great pub The Fountaine Inn just across the road with lovely food, which is very convenient. The Folly is also a brilliant base for exploring the gorgeous surrounding area, we managed to visit Grassington, Harrogate and Pateley Bridge during our stay. The owners were really friendly and helpful and made sure everything was perfect during our stay. Overall, The Folly is a perfect, relaxing getaway and wed definitely recommend it!
It is a very well thought out property. A place for everything. Two of us and our dog. Spotless and nice touches too, dressing gowns, dog bowl and mat. Milk in the fridge really good bedding excellent duvet and very comfy pillows. There is also a cupboard outside for your muddy boots. Chris and Sally are very welcoming, Sally showed us around and went through a few things. We did not see them much after thst but they are on hand if you have any queries and answer very quickly. We had to change our dates and it was no problem to them they are very easy to deal with. It's in a fabulous spot great views from the windows, with walks to Grassington and Burnsall nearby. The hot tub was fab lovely on a clear night to see all the stars really enjoyed that. The Fountaine Inn a couple of mins away is very cosy with a roaring fire , lovely food and they are very friendly highly recommend.
Frank&Marian and Peanut
A lovely place to stay in a beautiful village in Yorkshire. The conversion has been very cleverly considered, which the owner is rightly very proud of. Although a small space there was room for everything, it was very clean and the owners were very friendly and welcoming. We had a slight issue with the heating going off I didnt want to bother the owner but Chris was very helpful and sorted for us. Thanks we will add you to our list for future stays.
This is our 2nd stay at The Folly and we had just as lovely a time as before . Great place and fab location. Thank you.
Pauline
Great stay, lovely accommodation which had everything we needed. Highlight was sitting in the hot tub at night, switching off all the lights and stargazing at the amazing sky.
Graham
Chris and Sally have put a lot of thought and attention into the Folly. Although small, it had everything you could wish for and some we hadn't thought about torch. We had a very nice stay at the Folly and wouldn't hesitate to book this property again if in the area.
Beautifully appointed and thought out space. So close to a lovely pub and walks.
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.
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!
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
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.
