  We had a fantastic week at Cuckoo Cottage.

  So cosy and well-equipped. Took us a while to spot the very apt hourly clock function and was a lovely surprise when we did (which I won’t spoil by detailing but people may guess!). Looking at the photos and comments I was concerned about the size of the telly but it was fine. Perfectly visible & worked well. Also I’d seen comments regarding parking but we got parked right next to the cottage every time we returned and when we arrived. Cones seem to have been provided to help with this. The kids loved the games room, enjoying the darts & air hockey table. We loved the Royal Oak which was even closer than we expected and ate there 3 of the 5 nights. Great service & food. A very warm welcome there too. Pateley Bridge had all we needed and more. Nice big playground, chippie, pancake house, a few shops for souvenirs, food etc. petrol station very handy for the last day. We enjoyed trips to Harrogate, Ripon, Coldstone Cut & Brimham Rocks. All worth a visit! Loved the fire. Great bathroom with bath & shower & comfy beds. Very noisy floorboards but as you’d expect in a property of this age. Kitchen was very well equipped. Book exchange & bookmarks were a nice touch. Just a couple of minor niggles: Heating was set very high! I tried to lower it from 24 degrees but it seemed to revert every time a new cycle changed. Didn’t want to fiddle with settings other than temperature & just kept on top of it. The oven was very difficult to figure out since it seems to have non conventional settings (eg no ‘fan oven’) and to compound this many of the symbols have rubbed off. We got round it after a fair bit of googling in conjunction with the instructions provided. Ended up searching up an image of the Smeg dial. Would be useful to include this image with the instructions so people can see which position each setting is on the dial or mark them on the oven itself? Also the velux window in the back bedroom leaked during heavy rain (luckily just onto the floor rather than the nearby bed so more an issue for the owners than us). Thank you for having us, we had a very relaxing & enjoyable stay. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or return.

  We had a lovely stay with our daughter and granddaughter The cottage was wet equipped however the furniture was a little tired Parking was an issue.

  We couldn’t park near the cottage as there was a bmw parked outside the cottage all week. It never moved and ended up parking at the end of the one way street this meant as we took 2 cars one of the cars was rarely used and consequently ended up covered in sticky tree sap The games room was a big hit with our 6 yr old granddaughter We do feel that many cottages say they are dog friendly but when you arrive there are a list of things dogs can’t do ie get on the furniture or go upstairs. This criticism is not only aimed at cuckoo cottage Or dog is allowed on our furniture and sleeps on our bed. It makes any holiday more stressful than it needs to be when you’re trying to keep the dog off the sofa and from going upstairs. She doesn’t understand why she has to stay downstairs when we go to bed Overall the cottage was lovely. The underfloor heating is a nice touch and the bathroom is modern and spacious. The floors upstairs feel a little less well supported and are very noisy and creaky The cottages back seating area though small is a sun trap but could do with a tidy up On the whole we had a lovely time and would recommend the cottage to our none dog owning friends

  A lovely double cottage situated near to the centre of Pateley Bridge.

  Close to the shops, cafes, pubs etc. There is also a park close by with open space to walk your dog. There is a parking space for one car in front of the cottage on a quiet road. The cottage is well stocked with everything you need for your holiday. WiFi was good. It has a lovely small, private outdoor space which catches the sun from later morning through the afternoon. Ideal for a glass of wine in the sun after a long walk. If I had to make any suggestions for improvement they would be a bigger TV and a hose for the outside tap to wash the dog down if they get muddy.

  The cottage was well positioned in Pately Bridge close to all amenities.

  It provided an excellent base for a walking holiday. The cottage was cozy and renovated to a high standard. It was a well equipped kitchen with everything we needed to cook each night. Bathrooms and downstairs toilet good and the shower was excellent . Beds very comfortable. It was great to be able to take the dog. My only suggestion was the outside furniture could have been a bit better. The garden bench had a bent seat and was uncomfortable . The 2 white garden chairs and table needed a bit of attention . That said, excellent accommodation and would book again

  Stayed there for a week in July.

  An exceptionally well furnished and equipped quaint cottage with its old worldly charm but with a modern twist in relation to comfort and facilities. Spacious, airy, good WiFi connection, smart tv, games and dvds for days in. Convenient location to explore the Dales, York and Harrogate and other cities as well as the Yorkshire coast by car. The only negative is it is close to the main road and if the windows are open, it can be noisy. Overall, it was home from home for us and would have no hesitation in recommending it and staying there again.
