Holiday Cottages In Pateley Bridge

What our customers say about their holidays

  We enjoyed our stay at this spacious secluded cottage on the outskirts of Bewerley.

  The beds were some the most comfortable we have found in Sykes cottages. Indeed we regret we had not investigated their manufacture further before leaving to perhaps replace those at home. There was plenty of room with a large kitchen / diner and a very spacious bathroom. The sizeable utility room was an added bonus We found the cottage very convenient for nearby Pateley Bridge and its annual Nidderdale show. We enjoyed our walks from the doorstep as well as exploring the upper reaches of the lovely quiet Nidderdale valley and beyond. What could have enhanced our thoroughly enjoyable stay in this cottage further ?:- We would have appreciated further instructions on operating the central heating and heated bathroom floor to get the best out of them. The lounge sofa was not so comfortable and would have been a bit restrictive if 4 people wanted to enjoy the tv. We found the shower control awkward when trying to use it with wet hands. Whilst the steep driveway’s surface had been enhanced recently, we found it could still be slippery in certain conditions. As the evenings were drawing in we believe the cottage would have benefitted from some enhancements to the lighting with perhaps better illumination of the kitchen worktops , higher bedside lamps for reading and a night light on the corridor between the bathroom and bedroom doors. We were surprised to find no washing up bowl in the kitchen or utility sink. We would seriously consider booking it again when we next want to visit the area.

  A very nice property with great potential.

  Lovely bathroom and shower room. Good sized bedrooms and an added bonus of a downstairs toilet. Real fire was a bonus although no starter pack or matches available and no companion set. Air fryer was also a bonus. The property would benefit from a little tweaking such as: A food cupboard to be made available in the kitchen Waste bin in the bathroom and kitchen roll to be provided. Provision of ice cube trays. Drawer units in the second bedroom needed More coathangers needed. Also when air vents on it is very noisy in the attic room- worth warning people so it can be turned off during the night. Instructions needed for the TV. No visitor book - it would be good for feedback. The points above are just small points -which would enhance the experience but overall it is a lovely place in a fantastic central position near the high street in Pately Bridge.

  The cottage is well situated in a pleasant location and overall we enjoyed our stay, however there were some things that need attention.

  The entrance to the cottage is not just steep, as was warned in the listing, but it is also unsurfaced! Which meant our vehicle which is an SUV, was scattering and slipping on the hardcore all the way up. This could easily be remedied by surfacing the hill with either tarmac or concrete. This needs doing as a matter of urgency. In the cottage we were disappointed to find there was no freezer, even the fridge did not have a freezer compartment. Also we could not find an Iron or ironing board anywhere. these are small things which would be easily remedied, and they would have made our stay so much more enjoyable. Finally the hot water system does need attention. Each morning upstairs we seemed to have to have difficulty getting the hot water to come out out of the tap! If these problems are addressed we would be happy to come back.

  Great short stay in a wonderful location (8 years since we last stayed at Pateley Bridge!

  ) - the cottage was fantastic, comfortable and a bit like the proverbial Tardis. We cooked from the cottage quite a bit, which was easy with such good butchers in the village as well as convenience stores such as Spar and Nisa. Loved a pint of Summit at The Royal Oak. The whole place and cottage just chilled us all out. Went to the Forbidden Corner - great but weird day out. We’ve been to Hawes several times lately so skipped that, but couldn’t resist Grassington - lovely cafes and pubs to eat out in. The cottage owners are incredibly helpful, nice and don’t stand on ceremony - if they can make a guest happy, they seem to get a kick out of that. They’re new to the property apparently, but I can tell you they want to make a very positive impression…..and they did.

  Excellent property - really comfortable, cosy place to stay.

  The only thing that we didn't like the look of from the photos was the cooker which seemed old fashioned but it was fine! We like cooking and had no problems with it at all. Kitchen was great. Rooms were all good, bathrooms excellent. The kids were very happy. Pateley Bridge is a lovely place to base yourself, the people are so friendly and you can get all your weekly provisions on the high street. And the surrounds are stunning - we visited Saltaire, Haworth (and the steam train), Grassington, Fountain Abbey, Bolton Abbey, Simon's Seat, York - it was a full week, we loved it! My grandparents used to live in Dibbles Bridge and my Mum worked at Stump Cross Caverns in her teens, but I haven't visited for 40 years too long. We will be back soon! Thank you so much.
