About this cottage rental

A truly unique and romantic place to stay, but don't just take our word, please read the many 5 star reviews from our guests who comment on the character, location and how well equipped the cottage is. The cottage is pet friendly with a dog towel, bowls and leads in case fido's forgets his luggage.

There is so much to do within walking distance of the cottage, so why not stay for 7 nights and save on nightly rates. The location is perfect for walking, and cycling. You may already know Pateley Bridge was a key location for the Tour de France and the Tour de Yorkshire. The Nidderdale Way goes within a few yards of the cottage, as well as walks nearby at Brimham Rocks. For those of us less energetic York and Harrogate are a short drive away for shopping or why not visit the many places of interest such as the World Heritage Site of Fountains Abbey which is a 10 minute drive.

Built in 1780 for the head gardener of Bewerley Hall, the cottage is warm and cosy , full of character and original features, and is only a few minutes walk from Pateley Bridge with its range of quality independent shops and cafes.

The cottage is perfect for either a short break or a fortnight stay. With views over Nidderdale from the rear of the cottage and the cherry tree lined village green to the front. The outlook from every window is perfect. The gardens to both front and back are the ideal place to sit and sip a glass of wine.

On arrival you enter into the cottage by the sun room with views from its windows across the stone flagged courtyard over the dale. You then go into a contemporary style kitchen with the stone staircase in the corner and exposed ceiling. Lots of appliances and handy supplies such olive oil, salt and pepper , foil and cling film, so no need to pack the kitchen sink! Another door leads off to a large boot room with WC and washer dryer, a perfect spot to dry damp clothes after a day's hiking, or to rub down your dog.

One step from the kitchen to the sitting room with a large log burner sitting in the stone fireplace, wooden ceiling, comfortable sofa and leather library chair. There are books, maps, DVD, CD and WiFi is also available along with an iPod docking station. It is then up the stone steps to the romantic bedroom with a king sized bed dressed with Egyptian cotton bedding. Finally the large en suite bathroom comes with walk in shower and slipper bath, complete with luxury toiletries.

Outdoor there is garden furniture in both the rear and front gardens so you can soak up the sun. There is also two off street parking spaces so no need to worry about your car if you decide to spend a day walking.

The cottage is delightful. The kitchen is very well-equipped if you enjoy cooking, and there is a choice of eateries a short walk down the hill in Pateley Bridge if you don't! The living room is very cosy - perfect for settling down in front of the log burning stove on a cold and wet afternoon. The bedroom felt spacious, and having a proper wardrobe to hang our clothes up and good-sized drawers was lovely. The bathroom is great - a fabulous double-ended free-standing bath as well as a huge walk-in shower - luxury! The only slight issue during our stay was a persistent unpleasant smell which prevented us from using the conservatory/dining area but we still had a marvellous holiday. If the weather had been better we would definitely have enjoyed using the outdoor spaces at the front and back. There are many thoughtful touches - some goodies on arrival, an umbrella and walking stick, OS maps, DVDs, a knife sharpener to go with the kitchen knives, artisanal soaps in the bathroom, and an information folder with lots of suggestions for outings, walks and activities. Very handy for Ripon and Harrogate if you fancy shopping or bigger choice of restaurants and bars.

We had a fantastic week at this beautiful cottage. It’s a gem. Short walk downhill to shops, pubs, restaurants. The cottage was well equipped with lovely crockery, quality bedding and super comfy bed. The welcome pack included milk, wine, ale and a delicious lemon cake. Couldn’t fault it. We will definitely be back.
