Very spacious , loved the open plan living space. Very comfy sofas. Could start some beautiful walkâs right from the doorstep. Pateley bridge only a miles walk away, very handy. A good base for all the Dales has to offer.

Very comfortable, clean and warm. We enjoyed lovely walks along the riverside into Pateley Bridge with Remy the mad sprocker spaniel. Great pubs, cafes and shops. We will definitely be back. One of the best cottages we have stayed in.

Took our dog to get away from the fireworks and it was perfect. Only a 20 minute walk into Pateley Bridge and its lovely shops and eateries. Jenny the owner was really helpful and on hand if you needed anything but not obtrusive. The cottage had everything we needed and we would definitely return. Fantastic stay, thank you
