Bed and Breakfast at Fell View Cottage

For a pleasant spring or summer break, to relax after a walk, or for weddings come to this simple rural retreat in Linton village, central to the Southern Yorkshire Dales National Park Limestone Country in North Yorkshire. The house is a private home, not a standard business B+B.

Linton is a short walk past waterfalls, or a brief bus ride from Grassington.  A visit is £32pp one night, £27 for more than one night, £22 for children under 12 years, pppn. Single Visitors welcome.  This is a family home and the children's rooms are sometimes used by my family during holidays.

Located within the National Park and close to the Dales Way, the 17th Century Fell View Cottage is ideal for exploring the Yorkshire Dales. It is at the meeting of many popular routes like the Dales Way, Wainwright's Way and Lady Ann Clifford's Way. Walkers sometimes use Sherpa Van to carry their bags.  Sometimes I take a bag on to the next B + B for you at a cost of £10 per bag. You can discuss that when you arrive.  See Village Directions Below.

Linton Village

Today, the majority of visitors come for the region's good walking, and biking and for weddings, and for the summer Literature and winter Dickensian festivals. Just come for a break!

The village is oddly in two halves, the upper village is dominated by the Fountaine Hospital, an almshouse established by Richard Fountaine, a local man who made his fortune as an undertaker in London during the Great Plague.  It is still used for local elderly folk.   Things don't change fast here.

Built in 1721, the very grand building was designed by Sir John Vanburgh, and was bequeathed to the village as an almshouse, together with an annual sum of £26 to be divided between six poor old men or women from the Linton parish.

A sum was also left to the local minister, on the condition that prayers be read twice a week to the hospital's inhabitants. Services are still held regularly in the almshouse chapel.

The lower half of the village has a 12th century Church on a pagan site, look inside to see details of our pagan past; and Linton Water Falls on the Dales Way.
