Fab overnight stay in Grassington
Pros:

Great location - literally in the centre of Grassington. Good price considering location. Warm, clean rooms. Shower was excellent. Breakfast was included and was plentiful and delicious

Cons:

Nothing to dislike. Might not suit everyone's tastes - it's not a 5 star swanky hotel. Good, old fashioned, slightly dated pub. Check out could've done with being extended from 10.00am to 10.30 am especially as breakfast could be taken at 9.30 am.

A nice pub in a great setting at a very reasonable price
Pros:

Right in the centre of Grassington in the Dales. Wonderful location. No car park but one just up the hill if it's not full and it's voluntary donations only. Can't believe there's a 'free' car park in the centre of somewhere like Grassington. Really handy for scenic walks and the pubs and cafe's. It even has a fish n chip shop. Pub is like a hiker's bar so understandably not 'posh' but fine and good beers/wines. Had breakfast and eve meal and they were both excellent. Service very good too. Rooms ok for the age of building and big bathroom with descent shower (but see below).

Cons:

Rooms a bit 'tired' but perfectly ok for a short visit. Carpet looks newish but beds rock hard. Probably because of size of building the hot water takes forever to come through but good when it does. As it was New Years Eve lots of noise from bar area in bedroom up till 1.30am but not sure what it's like 'normally'. No parking but see above re this.
