Corner House, Grinton, Yorkshire Dales

17/04/2021

Today, Corner House welcomes it's first guests of the year. We wish them a happy holiday. And everything is ready for them! All the work on the beck at the back is done, and the village green has a pristine new lawn. Holiday Home Yorkshire has carried out a Spring clean, Ged has cleaned the carpets and Paul has cleaned the windows. We still have a few weeks available to let but they are going fast. And you can see why. Who wouldn't want to wake up to a view like this? Sunrise, and the church clock glows in the first light of the day.

Many years ago now, the website for Corner House was designed by Charlie and Emma Ellis of Luzmedia, and Charlie has managed it for us ever since. Everybody tells us it's a lovely website, and we think so too. Charlie has been a superb manager, always ready to tinker under the bonnet ( his phrase ) at a moment's notice to fix the smallest problem.

Now Emma and Charlie are retiring. We shall miss them, but we wish them a happy retirement.

So, we have had to construct a new website. We have chosen a "DIY" website, and Nigel produced it himself with some help from Charlie, and some interference from Paula! We have kept it as much like the old site as possible, and it's up and running now with unchanged addresses for the website and the emails.

Do have a look before lockdown ends and we're all rushed off our feet again! Any feedback from friends and clients past, present and future will be welcome.

And book your holiday soon! We still have a couple of weeks available in May. And May in Swaledale is wonderful!.

It's been a lovely sunny day in Grinton today, so we took the opportunity to take a photo of the village green which is beside Corner House. Reeth, the village about a mile away, is said to have the largest village green in England, so we think that Grinton's must be the smallest! It has been re- turfed, as part of the repairs to the wall of the beck behind the house, which was damaged in the dreadful storm that took place in July 2019. We are so pleased to have everything back as it should be.The team of builders who did the restoration have done a brilliant job, and they were always nice to have around. We are very grateful to them. But Corner House is now back to normal, and we are looking forward to the end of lockdown and the start of a new season.

We are busy getting ready for re-opening on 12th April, and we're really looking forward to adding the third bedroom to the accommodation offered at Corner House. Looking back through our earlier posts I realise that we had announced it's availability prematurely last year. Unfortunately, the many rules regarding Covid safety meant that we needed the room for storage, and we had to lock it up again. But we are happy to say that it will be available as soon as we re-open this year. It's a lovely big room at the back of the house overlooking the beck. Like the bathroom, it has a few steps down to it, but there is a stout handrail.
We have only increased the capacity of the house to 5, because the rest of the accommodation hasn't changed. But the sleeping arrangements are now more flexible. For example, a party of 2 couples can now choose to have a double bed each. A family of 4 can choose to have separate rooms for each of the children. A fifth person could perhaps join the party; or a party of 3 could have a bedroom each. We leave it to you!
Though not endless, the possibilities are certainly much more numerous than they were.

If you are as tired as we are of being locked down, you will be happy to see some light at the end of the tunnel. All being well, we shall be open for business again from 12 April 2021. Fingers are being kept tightly crossed! We'll post some news and photographs between now and then to keep you up to date with what has been happening at Corner House, but meanwhile, do have a look at the website and our availability and get in touch if you feel like a holiday!
