"Location is lovely quiet and picturesque. We were at a wedding close by so only needed the hotel to sleep at, the hotel is a bit in need of a re-furb but very nice staff and the room was fresh and comfortable. The room was clean, bedding and bed were comfortable we did not eat as arrived at 3 dropped bags and headed to wedding.left at 8 in morning Would stay again as we both said apart from corridors and general impression it was a nice nights sleep Plenty parking and nice area for a morning walk"

Grassington Lodge

8/10 Good
"It’s difficult, because I can understand the wide range of reviews. The fact that there are no staff on site, coupled with an unusual door access system, makes thinking of this as a hotel (never mind the star rating) somewhat of a stretch. Having said that, a mobile number was provided if needed. Our room was clean (although somewhat dated) and had all the equipment we expected. One big issue that we only subsequently learned about was that some of the rooms did not have an en suite. Ours did (with a much-appreciated heated towel rail), but I would have been very annoyed if we had been allocated a room without. Make sure of your room number! The location is excellent. Parking is available, but limited, so don’t be the last to arrive. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and felt we had good value for money."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Wensley?
The best area to stay in Wensley is generally within the village centre or the immediate surrounding countryside, offering a blend of convenience and peaceful rural charm.The village centre of Wensley itself is quite compact and picturesque, with the historic Wensley Church and the Red Lion Inn forming key landmarks. Staying here puts you within easy walking distance of the local pub, which often serves meals, and provides a central base for exploring the area on foot. It's a great option for couples looking for a relaxed break with local amenities close by.For those prioritising tranquillity and scenic views, properties just outside the village centre, perhaps along the roads leading towards Bolton Castle or Leyburn, are ideal. These often include converted farmhouses or larger country homes. This suits travellers who appreciate being surrounded by the rolling hills and prefer a more secluded setting, perhaps with their own transport.

The footpaths around Bolton Castle and Aysgarth Falls are especially enjoyable during this time.Early autumn is also excellent for couples seeking a peaceful getaway and local food experiences.
