Villas 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.

  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.

  This a very comfortable, spacious and well maintained property which exceeded our expectations. It has everything you need for self-catering. We enjoyed our stay and the village is well served by two butchers, a bakery (over the bridge) and several delis. There are two supermarkets - the Spar shop has a very good supply of local fruit and veg. We can recommend an evening's good entertainment at the Playhouse on Church Street. Pateley Bridge is an ideal location to explore Nidderdale and Wharfedale or further afield. Just a warning that the steep hills from the village centre to the property and the 14 steps up to the front door may be a challenge for people with mobility problems. Parking is nearby in the museum car park which is convenient but means several trips to unload/load.

  Spacious, comfortable cottage. It has a smart tv, lot of books, games and puzzles to keep you occupied on those rainy days. The kitchen is well equipped with lots of essentials provided. These include, coffee, tea, coffee mate, sugar, herbs and spices, gravy granules, salt, pepper, vinegar, cooking oil and dilute juice. Cleaning products, washing up liquid, hand wash and laundry pods are,also provided. Add to that, a welcome pack of wine and chocolates. The only issue we had was the smell of damp but we kept it well aired so it eventually cleared. It's a very quiet area but close enough to the high street, with the oldest sweet shop and an award winning butcher. I've been to pately bridge a few times and it's a great spot to further explore North yorkshire.

  There are lots of things to recommend Humbug Lodge. A spacious, yet comfy property with a super spot outside for catching any sunshine. A lovely quiet and peaceful location with tantalising views of the distant moors, but also just a very quick walk from the bustling High Street shops and river area. Lots of places to eat or grab a take away from mean that if, like us, you want a rest from cooking and washing up, there's a good variety to choose from. So many beautiful walks to do straight from the Lodge meant we were able to explore the idyllic countryside and make good use of the local hostelries for well earned refreshment. We loved it and had a very relaxing week's holiday.
