Property code: OC-B30287

With sweeping swathes of Yorkshire fields behind it, this scenic cottage is perfect for hosting groups of family, friends or couples eager to explore the beauty of The Dales and enjoy the peaceful serenity it affords. The cottage is located in the picture-perfect village of Middlesmoor, with incredible scenery in every direction. On your doorstep is the outdoor adventure centre, How Stean Gorge, promising adrenaline-pumping excursions including gorge walking, abseiling and caving. From the village, you can explore the Nidderdale Way, a long-distance walking and cycling route, and for mountain climbers, the fell of Great Whernside is around 17 miles away. This hill is easy to summit with younger adventurers, yet just as rewarding, with incredible views for those more experienced. For those who prefer to take it easy with tours of local towns and villages, the nearby destinations of Harrogate (20.5 miles), Pateley Bridge (7.5 miles) and Skipton (23.5 miles) are on the cards for effortless afternoons.

Fresh, neutral and contemporary styling and large, spacious rooms are on offer in this tastefully designed holiday home. Step inside and leave boots and coats in the large entrance hall, noticing a handy WC just off it. From here, venture into the delightful lounge where plush sofas sit opposite a Smart TV for your evening's entertainment. The kitchen/diner is a versatile, social space next door, with everything you need for preparing hearty meals for ravenous guests. After a delicious dinner and an evening of relaxation, make your way upstairs to bed. All three bedrooms, two king-size and one twin with zip-and-link beds, have been decorated to an exceptional standard with modern styling. Between them, they share two bathrooms – one en-suite attached to a king-size bedroom and a well-sized family bathroom.

Outside, a neat, enclosed patio awaits, complete with a stylish furniture set at which to sip a morning coffee or an evening sundowner.

What an amazing cottage, the owner has thought of everything. The welcoming hamper was very thoughtful and the Christmas decorations made it feel festive for our break just after Christmas into the New Year. We had brought dog towels and beds, but the bonus of extra dog towels and mats is a great idea. To walk out of the cottage straight into the Read morehills was beautiful. We walked to Scar House reservoir and to HowSteam Gorge which was an amazing visit. A day trip into Patley Bridge and a circular walk around the river Nidd finished in Willows Restaurant for Steak Pie and gravy with home cooked chips. The pub was open and friendly on New Years Eve for a few drinks before bringing the New Year in at the cottage. This was a very quiet area and our 3 dogs between the party loved every minute of it. The cottage was always warm upon our return. The large entrance hall enabled us all to enter the cottage and move freely. With a party of six adults its was nice to have 3 wcs in the cottage and 2 bathrooms. One been the on suite. The 3 double bedrooms had ample space and storage. The lounge was cosy with plenty of seating, but what I liked the most was the large kitchen diner lounge area where we could all be together. We had a fantastic stay and I would recommend this cottage and area. Hide

We were three generations celebrating an 80th birthday.The younger ones are walkers and we picked the location to suit them which it did however with a 14 mile round trip to any food shop the fridge/freezer was too small for 6 people for a week.The house was well presented and the rooms were spacious as was the bathroom and shower room ( see above Read morere shower room) This location wouldnt suit everyone but we loved it.

Fabulous modern house deep in the Nidderdale. Fantastic views all round. Wonderful food at the pub but be prepared as its 7.5 miles to the nearest shop. Dont run out of milk ! Everything you should need is here. Explore the drawers and cupboards for notes on the property. We were still finding them after a few days. Wonderful walks straight oRead moreut of the front door too. The locals are friendly and helpful. Hide

The property is in an excellent location in Middlesmoor; we enjoyed a week of good walking in Nidderdale. The house is comfortable, and provided good space for the needs of 5 adults for a week. The kitchen is particularly good, and well stocked with pots, pans, etc. There is also plenty of cupboard space, which is handy because the nearest grocery Read moreis in Pateley Bridge. The Crown, just round the corner, serves good sandwiches and beer. (The other food may also be good, but we din't try it.) Hide
