Pateley Bridge, voted Great Britain's Best Village High Street in 2016, is a charming Dales town nestled in the steep-sided valley of the River Nidd. Quaint little alleys and yards off the steep main street house many interesting shops offering a wide range of unusual gifts and mementos, plenty of places to eat and drink, two award-winning butchers, a bakery, and the oldest sweet shop in England. Pateley Bridge is well known for its prize-winning floral displays, whilst the nearby leisure centre incorporates a swimming pool and the riverside park with children's play area is not to be missed. Also worth a visit are the town’s Craft Workshops and the award-winning Nidderdale Museum - a lively collection of displays illustrating all aspects of Dales life in the past. Up and downstream, the Nidd Valley offers excellent opportunities for walking, cycling, and birdwatching, across an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and up to the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

The living accommodation on the ground floor is compact but has everything you need although there are only 4 of everything such as mugs, glasses, dishes, etc so you do keep on having to wash up even if there are only two of you staying. The hob is an induction Hob which are what a lot of holiday accommodation has now but they are not suitable for people like me who have a Pacemaker implanted and it would be useful to have this stated in the information about the place. The master bedroom on the top floor is spacious with an en-suite shower room and the second bedroom on the middle floor is less spacious with a small shower room next door. The whole development seemed very quiet whilst we were there and it is in a good location for accessing various places in the vicinity including a short walk by the river into Pateley Bridge. We very much enjoyed our stay here and I would happily go again in the future.

There is an easy flat 1 1/2 mile walk by the river into Pateley Bridge, where there are several cafes and restaurants. It is easy to walk or drive to explore Wharfedale and Nidderdale.

We were very pleased with the accommodation and would highly recommend staying here. The owners had thoughtfully provided a very useful folder of local amenities, eateries and places to visit. We will definitely come back again.
