Gaze out across the rolling hills of Nidderdale from this exquisite stone cottage in Pateley Bridge. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom hideaway offers immaculate accommodation and a gorgeous garden with magnificent views of the Yorkshire countryside. In an exceptional position for the circular, 53-mile Nidderdale Way, the delightful bolthole is also well located for days out to elegant Harrogate and trips into the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Let yourselves into the charming retreat and unpack any fresh Yorkshire provisions you have bought. Whip up tasty meals for your party in the kitchen then sit down to eat together through in the welcoming lounge/diner. Wander over to the sofa in here after your meal to watch the Smart TV or amble through to the more formal lounge to watch something different as the open fire crackles in the background. Climb the stairs up to the first floor to lay your head in either the king-size bedroom, which has an en-suite shower room, or the double. The family bathroom is also at this level. Climb a second staircase, hidden in a cupboard up here, to find the attic snug where you can enjoy a little quiet time as you absorb the spectacular scenery. Dine out on the patio as often as the weather permits or enjoy the garden room as you linger over a bottle of wine as the sun sets.
While away an afternoon at the National Trust’s Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden, 10 miles away. Visit Bolton Abbey, 13.5 miles away, to explore the estate, with its woodland, waterfalls and stepping stones across the river. The impressive, curved limestone formation of Malham Cove, 23 miles away, is also well worth visiting. While you are here, you can also walk to the gorge at Gordale Scar, 2 miles away.
