An excellent choice for discovering the North Yorkshire area with some nice walks/dog walks directly from the cottage. Everything you need is available from the nearby village of Pateley Bridge including a petrol station, shops, butchers, pubs, cafes, tourist information and more. The hosts Steve and Bev made us very welcome which makes all the difference when you are on holiday! Would recommend this accommodation for a nice, relaxing break with plenty to see and do in the area. We initially used the What3Words App to guide us to the place.
