  • Renovated traditional stone cottage with a contemporary interior style
  • Ideal for discovering the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and The Yorkshire Dales
  • Stroll into the picturesque town for an afternoon tea or evening meal
Property code: OC-87017

Occupying a peaceful location surrounded by a small woodland and perched on the hillside, this charming cottage lies in Pateley Bridge in the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The small town centre is a stone's throw away and is home to an array of unique shops, restaurants, tea rooms and the oldest sweet shop in England. This retreat is perfect for exploring the Yorkshire Dales and its quaint villages. The River Nidd, within walking distance, winds its way through the old town and there is an excellent park on the banks of the river, with Nidd Valley offering excellent opportunities for walking, cycling, and birdwatching. Spend a day browsing around Harrogate (14 miles), with its fantastic choice of cafes, art galleries, artisan shops and Turkish Spa. Or visit the village of Grassington (20 miles) – the filming location for the show, All Creatures Great and Small.

This cosy and romantic cottage has been lovingly restored whilst keeping its charm and character. The lower entrance door from the garden brings you in to the ground floor, which makes it handy when you return from a wet walk as you can leave wet coats and boots near the entrance. Make yourself at home in the charming sitting room, with its lovely views and countryside backdrop outside. Put your feet up and be warmed by the electric wood burner-effect fire and switch on the impressive Smart TV, perfect for relaxing evenings in. Move into the country-style kitchen/diner where you can rustle up a home-cooked meal – the kitchen is fully equipped and includes an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. There is also a washing machine and tumble dryer for those holiday practicalities. Gather around the table for a meal together and plan your next day’s adventures. When the night draws in, head upstairs to bed and choose from two lovely bedrooms: a king-size with an en-suite bathroom with a shower over the bath and a WC, or the super-king-size zip-and-link room (can be made up as twins on request) with an en-suite shower room with a WC. (please note dogs are not to go into the bedrooms)

Wake up and sit in the garden to enjoy your coffee whilst listening to the morning chorus of the local birdlife. This area is rich in wildlife and you may even spot a deer! Enjoy your home-cooked meal outside and create some truly unforgettable memories. There is off-street parking for two cars.

We had a wonderful stay at Harefield Lodge. Its such a cosy, peaceful place the perfect spot to relax and unwind. Everything was spotlessly clean, very well equipped, and the beds were incredibly comfortable truly a home away from home. Even with a few rain showers, we managed to enjoy some beautiful walks around the area. We've stayed in many coRead morettages over the years, and without a doubt, this one is the best. Thank you so much for helping us create such lovely memories at Harefield Lodge Hide

The cottage is in a very private, quiet location, with loads of birds attracted by the bird feeder. A very short walk along the road takes you into town, or a slightly longer walk along the river can be opted for. The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable and very clean.
