The Folly Reviews

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.
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

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.
Stuart
We had a great time in the Folly. It had everything we needed for our short stay. It's a lovely location and very restful. You were very helpful and friendly. We'd have no qualms about recommending it to our friends and family.
Chris and Sally gave us a very friendly welcome and were very helpful throughout our stay. The folly is just right for a couple and has all the equipment for a comfortable stay. The Folly is set is beautiful countryside and is within walking distance of shops. There is a very good pub in the village.
Joanne
The village of Linton is perfectly beautiful, but staying at the Folly made our stay more amazing. The Folly is comfortable, impeccably clean with all modern amenities, yes small but perfectly designed for a comfortable stay for two and a dog. Chris & Sally were very welcoming and friendly with lots of advice and information on the local area and surrounding areas. We would highly recommend and hope to return in the future. Thank you Chris & Sally we had a wonderful holiday
Lovely property, extremely well furnished and kitted out with everything you could possibly need. The location is great for being able to walk out and we will definitely recommend to friends.
Excellent location and private, great for a relaxing break

Chris and Sally couldn't be more welcoming and helpful. The folly was a beautifully restored accommodation. Done to a very high standard to make it a comfortable accommodation to stay in. It had been fully stock with every thing you need for a comfortable stay. In all would recommend the folly as a place to stay when visiting the Yorkshire dales.
Perfect setting , spotlessly clean great use of space , went for my husbands ... Perfect setting , spotlessly clean great use of space , went for my husbands 50tj and they even left a card for him when we arrived and a blanket for the dog
Lovely stay at the Folly. The hosts were very helpful with directions and information about the area, showed us round the property and then left us to it. The Folly is immaculate inside and also outside on the patio. Quality towels and bedding and robes provided made this a luxury stay. Thoroughly relaxing with a hot tub. Our dog was welcome. The location is stunning. I would highly recommend

We arrived at the folly and it was ready and very clean had everything we needed beautiful views It was definitely what we need I would definitely co. E back and recommend to friends and family thank to Sally All the best Rob
What a fabulous stay! Everything within the Folly is top quality and well thought out to make the most of the space whilst providing for your every need. Chris and Sally are the perfect hosts, making sure you have everything you need and offering great advice on things to do in the local area. The bed is super comfortable! There are lovely walks right out of the door, and the Fountaine Arms is a short walk over the bridge, and serves lovely food. Given it was a week in March, the weather was very good, and the Folly remained warm and cosy for evenings spent relaxing after busy days. The hot tub is a great way to ease any aches and pains. Waking in the morning and looking out on the new born lambs was a real treat. We highly recommend staying here, and will return to explore more of the glory of the Yorkshire Dales.
My partner and I recently spent a threenight stay at this charming countryside cottage. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the immaculate cleanliness and the cozy, wellappointed interiors. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring restful nights. One of the standout features was the private hot tub, which was both pristine and wonderfully relaxing, offering a perfect end to our days. Our hosts were attentive and thoughtful, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The cottages location was ideal, nestled in a tranquil setting with picturesque views of the rolling hills. Overall, our experience was nothing short of delightful. We left feeling rejuvenated and are already planning our return visit. We highly recommend this retreat to anyone seeking a peaceful and luxurious getaway. Thankyou Chris and Sally !! Pam & Martin
