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.

Loved our recent stay here. Such a lovely location and we enjoyed the daily morning visits of the bunnies and ducks. The kitchen is so well equipped with everything you could possibly need which was brilliant. Comfy, clean and tidy.

Fabulous cottage, lovely and clean. Met the host on the first day who was really friendly and helpful. About a mile away from Pateley Bridge, but a lovely walk (downhill ) through the village of Glasshouses. Lots of places near by to eat and have a tipple.
