The hostel is clean and practical. It is an excellent resource for walkers and outdoor activities. The rooms are basic but comfortable for a night or two in the Dales.
Very friendly staff who kindly got me in last minute due to my booking error. Showers very good and plenty of toilet facilities even though they were not in room .breakfast great value ,plentiful and delicious. Ideal cheap accommodation for a few nights stay in a beautiful location.

Solo holiday
Amazing views. Place a bit tired but clean and comfortable. Room was hot. Food smelt good. Never been to a YHA before, so wasn't sure how it all worked and there wasn't much information. Being a bit of an introvert I perhaps missed out on some of the experience.
The amenities at Grinton Lodge are excellent, the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly and the surrounding countryside is extremely beautiful. Highly recommended. s
Glorious location, both for views and as starting point for walks (and drives). The village is easily walkable, but more of a struggle back up the hill! Self-catering kitchen is small.
It was fine. Very little contact with staff, as I was visiting friends in the area, but check in was friendly. The only downside was that other guests were incredibly inconsiderate during the night - lots of door-banging etc. The view from my bedroom was amazing!

Self catering Kitchen is rather small for number of guests. Plenty of showers and toilets and all other facilities good. Stayed there on a very busy weekend and had to wait for packed lunch to be made.
