Here you’ll experience a sense of peace and tranquillity being deep in the countryside and yet under two miles from the picturesque town of Pateley Bridge having a variety of independent shops, pubs, restaurants, takeaways, and other amenities. Centred on a network of local footpaths and close to sections of the Nidderdale way and Pennine way the location is ideal for those who love walking. Whether you’re looking for gentle walks or more of a challenge you’ll find trails along rivers Nidd and Wharfe, around the many nearby reservoirs, or high on the hills and moors above Nidderdale and Wharfedale.

Local attractions include Stump Cross Caverns, The Coldstones Cut – a walkthrough sculpture leading to a spectacular far-reaching view, and Toft Gate Lime Kiln.
The town of Grassington where the new ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ is filmed is just ‘up the road’, and within 30 minutes’ drive you’ll find the historic sites of Fountains Abbey, Bolton Abbey and Skipton Castle, the physically imposing How Stean Gorge, not to forget the fashionable spa town of Harrogate with its stunning RHS Harlow Carr Gardens and the world-famous Betty’s Tea rooms where afternoon tea is a must!
Then after your day exploring, you return through the woods (look out for the deer), to enjoy a relaxing evening with your favourite holiday tipple where watching the antics of the birds, hares, rabbits, sheep and cattle can be as entertaining as any television! The Burrow truly is a perfect holiday home for couples to have a relaxing getaway in luxurious comfort.

Beautiful accommodation in a beautiful location. Peaceful and relaxing in a real home from home environment. Lovely dog friendly, even the cows looking over the wall didnt phase our pooch. Gorgeous sparkly, starry skies at night.Nins. A lovely, approachable host. We will definitely return to this property.

Probably the best cottage we have stayed in.Built within the last 5 years the standard of finish throughout is very good.It is remote and can take a bit of finding. You are best to follow the owners directions rather than your satnav.But that is part of the appeal of the property.Pateley Bridge is a 20 minute drive away and we loved the pies in Kendalls butchers (also in Harrogate).Cant speak highly enough of the property or the owners.
