Pick up some local produce at one of the excellent shops in Pateley Bridge (1.5 miles) and settle down to a laughter-filled dinner which stretches long into the night.

 

Both bedrooms at this property are upstairs. The first is the inviting double at the front of the property. This room features a king-size bed and a sumptuous grey carpet underfoot.

And with miles of stunning walks and mountain bike trails literally from the doorstep, the cottage is heaven for those of you who adore being out in the wilds. Check out the cathedral town of Ripon which is also well worth a visit and is just 11 miles, with its regal castle overlooking the town below. Castle Howard is another great place visit for those that love flowers and plants, as are the RHS gardens at Harlow Carr.

 

Take a spa day or have a massage at the Turkish Baths in the cosmopolitan town of Harrogate. Time a visit with the Great Yorkshire Show, it is a massive platform for farmers and local craft-makers to showcase their way of life and their produce on a grand-scale. Harrogate is best known for its convention centres and its an events hub too, so is worth seeing what is on their programme. Pateley Bridge is home to England’s longest running and oldest sweet shop – if that tickles your fancy and your taste buds, there are many places for food lovers to try excellent local fare, in and around Glasshouses.

An attractively-furnished, comfortable and well-equipped cottage, which is ideally-placed for exploring the Yorkshire Dales but still feels away from it all. One of the nicest places we've stayed in many years of self-catering holidays. Friendly, helpful owner and a lovely welcome pack too - many thanks.
