4 Helwith Bridge Cottages

The cottage was absolutely wonderful, tastefully equipped, everything immaculately clean - what a little piece of heaven, thoroughly enjoyed.

Number 4 was a perfect base for us for a long weekend while my husband organised the 3 Peaks Cyclo cross race which starts in the field right next door.

The cottage was very spacious, beds and sofas were comfortable, and our normally nervous little dog settled in straight away. I was so quick to rebook for next year that I was ahead of an email from Sykes offering me a discount for my next booking.

We had a lovely stay at the property – an ideal base for exploring the Yorkshire Three Peaks, which we completed with our family.

The location was excellent: peaceful yet close to key trailheads and scenic routes. The house was comfortable and well-equipped, with good amenities that suited our needs throughout the stay. A great choice for families or hikers looking for convenience and relaxation in the Dales.

We had a lovely few days at no4 for New Year, it was very clean and modern and the downstairs was very spacious with plenty of room for the four of us and dog.

Up stairs was a bit tight, the double bedroom could do with a smaller bedside table so that another could be placed on the other side of the bed with its own table lamp however we got round this with some furniture moving and using the laundry basket. The bathroom could also do with some extra shelving as there wasn't enough space for four peoples toiletries. We would also suggest some hooks in the enclosed porch area for wet coats, leads etc to drip before coming into the main hall. These were however only minor inconveniences and would not stop us from highly recommending no4 to anyone who was looking for a holiday base in that area.

We had a very enjoyable stay at the cottage.

It was comfortable and warm and had everything we needed. It was ideally located for pen y ghent and other attractions in the dales. We would definitely recommend it.

All 5 of us enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Very clean & spacious especially the lovely kitchen/diner. All very welcoming from opening the door; especially the cookies + the hot water bottles in beds. Perfect location for great walk up Pen-y-Ghent. Lovely location & scenery. We had 3 generations; need to be careful on steep/ narrow tread on stairs. 2nd toilet was a great bonus with 5 guests. Sofas are a bit low for oldies

It's a lovely cottage & we'd happily return!

The property was extremely clean & well presented.

Everything worked well. The local pub was only a very short walk away & was very friendly, serving excellent food @ very reasonable prices. Highly recommended stay @ this property.

Very clean, good location,

There is nothing I would change, everything was spot on.

And what a pleasant home it is. When we arrived and had a look round I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it is even nicer than I was expecting. The photos on your advert don't nearly portray how light and airy and spotless it is.

Lovely cottage, was in a lovely location and very clean.

Fabulous place to stay, well equipped property decorated and maintained to a high standard.

We felt welcome as soon as we opened the door which we really appreciated. We had a lovely relaxing stay and would book again without a doubt.

Nice property ideal base for the 3 peaks.

Comfortable with no problems. I wasn't aware of wifi being available so a note on display would have been useful.

A great place, in a lovely location.

Great facilities. If I was to ever do the 3 peaks again which is a big if!! I would definitely stay here again.

I wouldn't say this was the best cottage we've stayed in but it's certainly very good.

It was clean and comfortable. The downstairs cloakroom (WC and basin) is a good selling point and deserves to be mentioned in the listing. There were one or two omissions, but nothing show-stopping. We'd have expected spare kitchen roll, and maybe some cling film. The book of instructions for guests had details of a microwave which no longer exists (the current microwave instructions are with the microwave) but nothing about the main oven controls, which are a bit quirky. However, I Googled it and found something similar, which gave us the information needed. Previous reviews have criticised the WiFi so I was a bit apprehensive about that but I need not have been. It was better than we have at home and quite sufficient for streaming and for general use. It probably depends on what you're used to. We weren't using the third bedroom but I think the lack of storage space could be a problem. Also, some of the bedroom curtains could do with linings so that you don't wake at 5am. Overall, we had a good stay and I would recommend this cottage.

Great cottage in a great location.

Well kept and very comfy after a long day walking. Might be a bit if a squeeze for 5 people upstairs as the 3rd bedroom is very small with no storage. The owner recommended the Knights Table for eating ...we went for Sunday Roast...best roast I've had out ....would equally recommend. Although the local pub had decent food with large portions

We had a lovely family holiday and the accommodation was very clean and well resourced.

One thing we would like to suggest that would improve the property is to provide some storage facility in the small bedroom. Please can you put some shelves up on the walls behind the door, or provide another solution. Otherwise everything was fantastic.

My husband and I had a lovely few nights stay here.

On arrival the house was very clean (even my husband commented on the clean laundry smell as he went upstairs - that never happens at home!) When I booked the property, I remember reading a review saying don't judge the property on the photos.. and that is so true..! We had 2 very wet walking days and it was lovely to come back to a warm house and a hot shower - In fact the shower pressure was amazing!! For 2 nights we ate at the local pub. Very friendly landlord and lady, good home cooked food and plenty of it. For our last night we tried to get into the Game Cock in Austwick for dinner; unfortunately it was already fully booked (Wednesday in March, non school holidays). My advise would be to book ahead if you fancy this pub. We will definitely be visiting this beautiful area again and this will be our first choice for accommodation

Really enjoyed the stay very comfortable Well equipped Immaculately clean and looked freshly painted Very spacious A great cottage ideally placed for my family Thank you

Fantastic stay, lovely place, great location, great owners, enjoyed it so much I've recommended it to a friend to go and stay in.

A lovely property in a beautiful location!

It had everything we needed for our stay… shame we had to pay for a week when we we only there 3 nights but hey, we knew that when we went. If we have a complaint it’s that the double bed is not comfortable at all! My son said his single in the back room was comfortable though. Could have done with sharper kitchen knives The owner was very pleasant and helpful on the phone!

What a cracking place to stay.

It really teaches you to not judge a book by its cover. The property has a large open plan kitchen dining area, which was basically where we spent our time, for the short periods we were in. I was probably being pickie marking it down one on comfort. The beds were great and we slept well. The downside was the sofas. I have spinal problems and was unable to sit on them as they were to low and to soft. Great for most people I would imagine. If you stay here your ideally situated for visiting the best that North Yorkshire has to offer. Most places are within a 10 to 20 minute drive, Malham Cove, the 3 peaks, Gaping Gill and so the list goes on. The are untold number of walks on the door step too. The pub just down the road is amazing, good beer, food and dog friendly. I can highly recommend the fish and chip shop opposite co-op in Settle to. We will definitely be returning

A lovely cottage in a great location with lots of fantastic walks close by.

The cottage was exceptionally clean when we arrived, had everything in it that we needed and we felt very at home during our stay. The hot water bottles and open fire were a lovely end to our days out walking. The children and dog loved it and we would definitely return.

We have had a lovely stay thank u so much, perfect location.

Definitely will be rebooking again And for a helpful tip if your wanting to eat in the local pub definitely worth booking in advance. I don’t know if it’s because of the area the WiFi was very poor and wasn’t able to use our laptops.

A lovely property well situated for walking direct from the door or exploring.

Very quiet location, friendly pub a few doors away but check if you want to eat- they didn't serve food everyday. We had a very enjoyable stay.

The cottage was warm and cosy.

It was very spacious and clean and the kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. The hot water bottle warming the bed was a lovely touch and the tea tray and biscuits very thoughtful.

The house is fabulous, clean and sizeable.

Additional toilet on ground floor. The front garden is very colourful but the rear bit is small, on two levels and pebbled. There is a constant stream of big lorries from local quarrys, so road is very busy.

Excellent cottage: The exterior does not do this cottage justice.

The interior is exceptional with excellent cleanliness. However, if you intend to work and holiday at the same time beware the internet signal is not good.

The house was great, very comfortable and Mr and Mrs Cross were both very helpful.

Unfortunatly we only stayed 2 nights as called back to work, but the cottage for the time we had it was fantastic. Ideal for many walksdirect from the cottage. the only thing I would mention is the kettle needs replacing as the lid was broken.

Beautiful, immaculately decorated, spotlessly clean and well equipped cottage.

Helwith Bridge is well located between Settle and Horton with a picturesque drive either way. We did walks directly from the cottage to Pen y Ghent, and a fantastic one via Feizor, Giggleswick Scar and back along the river past Stainforth Force. There are working limestone quarries in the area which add to the interest of this amazing landscape. I am desperate to return!

We’ve had a wonderful stay at the cottage.

Everything was spotlessly clean. Everything you needed had been catered for. Excellent location for visiting different areas. Would highly recommend .

Had a most enjoyable 4 night stay .

The cottage was lovely, everything needed , lovely location., and a beauttiful setting. A lovely dog friendly pub few doors along,and food was amazing..

We loved our holiday, the house is perfectly located for walking - it’s clean and so comfortable we couldn’t have asked for more!

Their is a local pub less than 5 mins walk, who are friendly and welcoming - the food is home cooked and I’ll be dreaming about their pie for years to come! It’s a true gem!

good position for touring round and handy for the very friendly local pub with good meals.

plenty of space in the cottage,very clean and nicely decorated and good furnishings

Lovely cottage, better the the photos.

Spotless, great location and helpful owners. Definitely recommend a stay here.

Good value for money in a great location .

.don't let exterior put you off the house is very spacious. Good pub 2 minutes walk away. Will try to return.

We stayed here in August 20, the cottage looks much nicer that the listing and photos gives credit for, the cottage was clean and tidy and had everything required for our stay, good local links for places to visit and and things to do, this includes activities with children under 11.

this is an ideal location for Settle, Malham Cove, Stainforth and many many more locations, this does not even include the hikes up the peaks.

Great house in a great location.

The house was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Loved the extra little touches like hot water bottles warming up our beds!

Great place in a fantastic location

Lovely clean house, perfect location for dog walking with plenty of different walks from the front door.

Local pub really friendly with good food and beer. Would consider staying again.

Excellent location.

Faultless in terms of cleanliness. Value for money. Stress free service as usual.

Amazing location,so quiet and peaceful, everything you need for a home from home,stairs were a bit steep for my mum,but thats the only down side,beds comfy too,would highly recommend.

I really enjoyed my time away with my partner and dog here.

The welcome biscuits were a lovely touch. The cottage had a lot of items we didn't expect which would've been lovely to know beforehand :) I've already recommended the cottage to friends.

We booked the cottage in order to walk the Yorkshire 3 peaks.

...location was excellent..only 5 minute drive to start. Cottage was spacious....well equipped with everything you could need. It was in good order throughout....very clean and comfortable. 2 minutes walk to a friendly local pub serving good value and tasty meals. We all said that we would love sometime to book a longer stay.

The cottage was like a home from home!

It was clean and spacious with all facilities we needed. It was situated in an idyllic location, within walking distance from a lovely pub and a beautiful fishery. We had an amazing first holiday with our 18month old puppy, and our teenage girls had a great time hiking, wall climbing and exploring the cave at Ingleton. Highly recommend Helwith Bridge in the Yorkshire Dales.

We've just arrived home from a relaxing week at Helwith Cottages.

The cottage was very clean, spacious and well equipped. In a lovely area for the Dales and visiting Settle, Malham Tarn & Cove, The Ribblehead Viaduct and close to the Settle to Carlisle railway. Also all the lovely surrounding villages and local pubs. Great holiday will visit again and recommend. Thank you!

This cottage is really lovely very clean and well equipped.

It is in a beautiful rural location but only 3 miles from Settle . There are lots of lovely walks and places to visit .

We would highly recommend this cottage in fact the info and pictures on the website do not do it justice.

Great location to get out and about and pub only a short walk with a great welcome, the landlord and staff were really friendly. Very little one could suggest to improve the actual cottage it had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. One minor suggestion would be to update the welcome pack. It had all the instruction books for appliances but little else, nothing on nearby walks or nearest village shop etc. Would definately recommend this cottage and if the opportunity arises would return.

An exceptionally well appointed holiday home and very clean.

Ideally situated in a quiet area with access to many walks without travelling too far.

Back garden was only let down would of liked bigger for dog, pictures showed lots of views of surrounding countryside but not back garden , cottage was absolutely lovely had everything we needed , house next door was very scruffy and there is a bit of heavy traffic passing due to the quarry being so close but apart from that excellent location for three peaks and pub is a short walk and people very welcoming and we all in all would most likely stay there again

Lovely cottage equipped with everything you need.

Tried the local pub wasn’t that impressed. Getting out and about was easy best place to eat was the golden lion in Settle.

Great holiday home everything there that you need we loved it and will book again

The house had everything that was needed prime location for walking and other attractions.

2 minute walk from child and dog friendly pub

No.

the cottage was absolutely brilliant cleanest cottage we have been in, would recommend to everyone spotlessly clean lovely views out all windows.

food excellent at the pub just a short walk away loved it. thank you fire was so warm lovely warm cottage

A terrific cottage in a great location if your doing the three peaks.

The food in the nearby pub is fantastic and I'd happily stay again !

The cottage is very inviting and user friendly with lots of homely comforts I’d definitely recommend staying there

Great cottage, lovely and clean and well presented.

We had a great week and will definitely be back for another stay.

Have stayed in dozens of cottages in the Yorkshire Dales,Lake District & Scotland and internally this cottage was as good if not better than any we have stayed at.

It was extremely clean, almost new, as well as spacious and light. The attention to detail which also helped to make this property most welcoming and comfortable. The internal photographs of this property just don't do it justice - with more required.

Good cottage and ideally located for three peaks.

Local pub close by - Kitchen/diner spacious light and practical to accommodate 5 persons.

Lovely very well equipped, comfortable mid terrace house.

Exceptionally well kept and clean. Beautiful scenery on the doorstep.

I think that the information needs updating as it says there is no wifi when there is and this is important today.

..you would probably get more bookings.

We were a group of 5 staying due to tackling the 3 Peaks Challenge.

The cottage is fabulously located for this, being only 5 minutes away by car from Horton in Ribblesdale. On our arrival we were met by a lovely well appointed cottage. The kitchen is very well stocked with lots of crockery and utensils etc. The bedrooms, whilst compact are bright and clean and the bathroom had a lovely bath and shower which was most welcome after a hard day climbing! I particularly loved the little touch of a tea tray ready and waiting with complementary biscuits. We have all said we would love to stay again and shall no doubt be booking shortly. Thank you for a lovely weekend.

Lovely clean cottage and very helpful owners supplying us with travel cot and high chair.

Great position for walking and biking.

The cottage is clean and modern.

The owners have considered every eventuality as far as we could tell, everything was spotless, in excellent condition with some very considerate extra touches, like ice cubes in the freezer, a starter pack of logs and kindling, games and books to enjoy, along with plenty of local information, and the icing on the cake were the lovely Christmas decorations to make us feel at home. We would not hesitate in recommending the cottage to others, with one minor point to make, the need for a couple of pillows available in case anyone needs extra. Not a great problem though and didn't spoil our stay. The pub nearby was a pleasant spot with good beer and food available. The Gamecock in Austwick is an excellent spot for a lovely meal, and there are ample walks in the area for the keenest of ramblers, or the casual strollers to enjoy. All in all, we would give this pleasant little cottage 10 out of 10.

A well equipped, comfortable cottage.

We will definitely consider rebooking

It did exactly what it said on the tin !

!!

Property was perfect for what we needed at a great value price

Perfect location for doing the 3 peaks challenge and actually much bigger than expected.

Photos don't do it justice. Brilliant dog friendly place with a pub only a stones throw away.

A very clean and comfortable cottage with everything you need for a self catering holiday.

Ideally situated for walking in the Dales. Would definitely book again.

Super cottage spotlessly clean bright and airy larger than expected definitely book again at somega point.

The pub down the road is friendly and the beers and food are great

Had a lovely stay in this beautiful cottage!

Very clean, great location, and stunning scenery. Loved the thoughtful touches too, like daffodils and biscuits left on the kitchen table. Didn't want to leave. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

The accommodation was very well equipped and warm (even down to hot water bottles in the beds which were very much appreciated).

We would definitely book it again in the future and recommend it to others.

It was brilliant, just what we needed.
