Cuckoo Cottage

Cuckoo Cottage gave a 5* holiday from the word go.

The house contained everything you could need and more, as a family with children from 7-17 and a dog, it benefitted us all. Great location too, all you could need in Pateley Bridge, good connections to the surrounding area and peace and quiet. We all loved our stay!

It is a wonderful cottage in a fabulous location.

Thoughtfully furnished to pre-empt your every want or need, including some lovely jigsaw puzzles and a sensor light on the landing, make for a comfortable, relaxing, fun stay. Pateley Bridge is a hidden gem and we hope to return to both this cottage and this town. Thank you

Cuckoo Cottage is a delight.

Perfectly positioned to walk in and around Pateley Bridge, near shops and pubs yet very quiet, very clean and comfortable throughout, and with a charming little courtyard too. It has everything you need, plenty of room for 6 adults (and a dog) . . . What more can I say? We loved it and expect to return. Thanks.

Lovely cottage and everything you need.

A second great holiday in this cottage, I'm sure we'll be back for more!

Really well equipped, down to the little details like books and games which all the family could enjoy. And no last minute dashes out to buy soap and loo rolls, dishwasher tablets etc - really much better provided than many places you'll stay. The shops in the village are brilliant and friendly - we got through most varieties of meat pies and flapjacks from the butchers and bakers, plus had some lovely meals in the Royal Oak. Discovered some new walks too - Guisecliff Tarn is beautiful and well worth a visit.

Carlo is an incredibly attentive host, providing detailed pre-arrival information regarding the property and parking while remaining consistently friendly and responsive to all our inquiries.

His instructions were seamless, allowing us to locate and enter the home without any hassle. The interior is cozy, clean and well-appointed for a short stay, featuring comfortable bedrooms where we enjoyed a peaceful night's sleep free from any outside noise. We particularly loved the sun-drenched outdoor yard and the games room, as well as the separate bath and shower. The location is ideal, situated just a stone's throw from a local convenience store and pub, and only a scenic five-minute stroll across the river into the heart of Pateley Bridge. Although the house was a bit overly warm on our arrival due to the efficient underfloor heating, and we encountered an issue with the hot water during our stay, both Carlo and Sykes responded with impressive speed to resolve the matter! Thank you again, Carlo, for a lovely stay, we would certainly return!

Another great week away in this beautiful cottage.

Everything you need has been provided by the thoughtful owners who will do all they can to help if you have a problem. Set in Pateley Bridge in the Yorkshire dales, you are spoilt for choice for places to visit. Already booked for next year!

Had a lovely 3 night break at Cuckoo Cottage.

Cottage was clean, cosy and very practical. Kids loved the games room, however very cold at this time of year. Pateley bridge is a lovely little Village. We had dinner 1 night at Royal Oak, food was lovely and again a nice little Village pub. Chinese takeaway also good. Definitely would recommend Cuckoo Cottage but maybe not to those that struggle with steep stairs.

Beautiful, well equipped cottage in a great location.

Lots of attention to detail and pretty much everything you would need for a comfortable stay, including plenty of information about the local area, walks etc. Our son particularly loved the games room and he and our dog loved the park that is just at the end of the road. Pately Bridge is a lovely spot with a nice range of independent shops and businesses.

This is our 2nd visit to Cuckoo Cottage.

The cottage is in a quiet location and Pateley Bridge is a great base for visiting places like Fountains Abbey and Brimham Rocks. The cottage itself is well furnished and comfortable. There is plenty of information on things to do in the area, supplied by the owner. We will definitely be coming back again.

The cottage was in a great position with easy access to the town centre and a local park which is ideal for dog walkers and for those with young children.

The bed was a little soft and some of the cleaning could have been better e.g the top of the headboard, shower base. Bathroom size and set up was very comfortable and overall the cottage was very well equipped. Great to go to a cottage that had plenty of china, utensils and sharp knives. Courtyard garden would be lovely to sit and have a drink in the summer and the games room was fun.

Lovely cottage, everything you could need was thought of.

Gorgeous courtyard garden with seating. Property very clean and lovely touch with robes provided. Would definitely stay again.

A stunning cottage in a fabulous location.

The cottage had everything we needed for our week in Yorkshire and we will definitely return. The children especially loved the games room! Here is my daughter’s review: “We are a camping / caravanning family... but Cuckoo Cottage has converted us - we've enjoyed many a game of darts, and a bitter game of monopoly, too - all rounded off by a week of very sound sleep in the comfiest of beds. Cuckoo cottage was exquisitely equipped, catering to our every need; we could not have asked for a more pleasant stay, thank you very kindly for allowing us to have our holidays here in this stunning part of the world. We can highly recommend The Royal oak - it may look deceptive as a standard pub with sticky tables and botched paint - but it has the most jovial atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food! For days out - Brimham rocks is perfect for children of any age, as we've been 3 times! Skipton is charming, especially on market days (Harrogate is not), and the Panoramic walk is perfect for a morning doggy stroll”. All in all, 10 out of 10 and we can’t wait to return!

Our third visit to Cuckoo cottage and certainly not our last.

The cottage is well maintained in a great location and has everything we need, including an outdoor games room which made an excellent wine cellar during our stay. We love Pateley Bridge and the surrounding countryside and can’t wait to return.

Cuckoo cottage was perfect and high quality.

Pately Bridge and the beautiful countryside just added to the delightful weekend. We couldn't have wished for a nicer place. It surpassed all expectations and thoroughly recommend, you won't be disappointed.

We had a wonderful stay at cuckoo cottage.

Everything you would need and more, beautiful port merino dinner sets, mugs. The beds so comfortable, we slept so well. Sat in the courtyard daily, played darts. The dogs loved the many walks. Such a lovely town. The museum so good, brought back lots of memories. The only small negative is the small TV, we all had trouble watching it. But we loved every minute we spent there. Will define going back. Thank you cuckoo cottage. ❤️

2nd stay here and one I may go back to.

Set in a beautiful moored village that’s friendly and welcoming. Enjoyed walks, scenery and of course local pubs. Property looks small from pictures but it’s two cottages built into one and is large enough for 6 large adults. Dog safe with a small yard and a large park at the bottom of road which allows well behaved dogs off lead.

Great cottage and a great location, even better than it looks in the pictures!

Really spacious and well equipped. Kids loved it too. We all enjoyed the games room (the game with the magnets is quite addictive!) and the occasional game of Yorkshire Monopoly. The town is great and has real shops selling everything you need and more. Great options for early morning runs up the moors and more gentle walks by the river. Already working out what week to book for next year!

We were delighted with the location, facilities and information within the cottage - all very thoughtfully and generously provided, making for a very comfortable and relaxing stay.

Thank you so much. Some minor points to consider (which would have made things even more wonderful!) : 1) The TV is a little on the small side (a larger screen would be appreciated by lovers of football and other sports) 2) A couple of metal oven trays (roasting tin, baking sheet) would make a welcome addition to the already excellently equipped kitchen 3) Outside hose was coming apart when we tried to use it for cleaning our pooch. Could this be repaired or replaced please? All else was perfectly provided for. We were sorry to leave and look forward to returning at the earliest opportunity!

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.

Another great stay in this wonderful cottage, cannot find fault with anything.

We loved our time at Cuckoo Cottage, it was our second stay and we will be back.

Pateley Bridge is a great place to stay and a perfect base to explore the beautiful Yorkshire Dales from.

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

Perfect!

Had everything we needed to make our holiday wonderful. Great location, cottage full of character, facilities great and the games room was a brilliant bonus. Would throughly recommend.

Fabulous cottage, warm and welcoming with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Great area for walking and beautiful village location with butchers, bakers and a small store for all your essentials.

A most excellent cottage , warm and cosy clean and tidy , We loved our stay Thankyou cuckoo cottage

A totally superb cottage.

Beautifully and tastefully renovated. Extremely comfortable and absolutely everything a guest needs catered for. The owners deserve every praise for the thoughtfulness they have put into making visitors comfortable and welcome. Being a map lover, my husband was particularly pleased with the Cuckoo Cottage personalised ordinance survey map! So much to do within close proximity, but coming from fairly flat Suffolk, our two dogs took some time to get used to the hills of the dales!

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

Great property in wonderfully convenient village location, beautifully appointed with everything we needed and more.

It has clearly undergone a thorough and very well considered refurb, all in all, highly recommend.

Cuckoo cottage is a lovely base for exploring the local area.

The cottage has everything you need and is always clean and tidy. This is our second stay here and we will most certainly be returning again!

We spent a very enjoyable week at Cuckoo Cottage.

The cottage was the perfect base for exploring the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. The cottage is very well equipped and we hope to return.

We loved our time at Cuckoo Cottage.

The cottage is comfortable and has everything you need, it’s in a great location with plenty of walks in wonderful countryside. The information in the cottage was very helpful to us organising our days out. We are already planning our return visit.

Having stayed in many holiday homes this rates very highly.

The cottage is two cottages made into one and was clean comfortable and warm. We found Pately bridge a lovely interesting and friendly place with loads of walks on your doorstep and great places to visit via a beautiful short drive. The first thing we did when we got home was book for next year. That says a lot

Beautiful cottage in the perfect location.

Lovely, cosy and warm. Decorated to the highest standard with hotel quality linens. Fantastic stay over New Year. Thank you

Lovely cosy, home from home cottage.

Really enjoyed our stay.

Another perfect, relaxing holiday in this beautiful cottage.

You have everything you need and are perfectly placed for the local pub. The town of Pateley bridge has all you will need and the friendly people always make you feel welcome. As usual we will book again for 2024.

We've had many UK holiday homes and this is one of the best even from the practical pov.

Little touches, equipment. Very well stocked. It's in a great location, great base for families, close to town with walks from doorstep. Hope to be back soon

Lovely comfortable cottage, well equipped, quiet picturesque location, but round the corner from village shops, pubs and eateries.

Parked outside the door no problem even though it was August bank holiday week. Loved being able to do great and varied walks from the door. Highly recommend staying here.

A comfortable and very well-equipped cottage in a beautiful location.

Beautiful views from the front rooms, comfy beds, a sumptuous bathroom with a truly powerful shower and luxurious bath. Relaxing sofas and room to dine inside and out. Enough crockery, pans and utensils to cook up a banquet. Loads of games and books for rainier days that, luckily, we didn't experience. A wonderful dog-friendly stay.

Another fantastic stay at Cuckoo Cottage.

Great location. Lovely cottage. Perfect for our stay.

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.

Excellent property, very well presented with a high standard of finish and everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

I would definitely stay there again and recommend it highly.

Cuckoo cottage is an amazing cottage, one of the best equipped ones we have ever stayed in.

It has everything you can think of at the cottage, and amazing walks, pub and shops from your doorstep. Communication from the owners is fantastic and we will certainly be returning again. Perfect destination for a perfect holiday.

Had a great time away in an amazing holiday cottage which had lots to do within walking distance.

Only caveat, would have to be parking which is no fault of the owners - it’s just unfortunate throughout the whole stay, someone was parked in the reserved bay outside the property which was a struggle when loading and unloading suitcases, etc.

Cuckoo cottage was immaculate we absolutely loved it, Pateley Bridge is a lovely town and everything we needed was a stones throw from the front door.

Would highly recommend staying here we will definitely book this cottage again

Fantastic stay in this beautiful cottage.

Very clean and comfortable. Close to all amenities in Pateley Bridge, would definitely recommend.

Another fantastic holiday in a beautiful cottage.

Everything you need is at hand and the cottage is ideally placed. Great pubs and shops within walking distance. We will definitely book again.

Lovely cottage really nice place to stay

Superb cottage which oused quality.

With so much attention to detail this character cottage was very spacious and very cosy having underfloor heating. Convenient parking right outside the property and all shops/eateries a short walk. Pateleybridge is an ideal base to explore the wider area.

A delightful, conveniently located and perfectly appointed cottage with a shop and pub just a stone’s throw away and fabulous walks straight from the doorstep.

Add to that mix a very generously equipped kitchen and gloriously comfortable and cosy accommodation and you come up trumps with the perfect base to experience and explore this beautiful area. We and the dogs loved it!

We loved Cuckoo Cottage and would have no hesitation recommending it to our friends.

In fact we have already done so! I really loved the Port Merrion crockery and was impressed that such a lovely dinner service was there for the guests to use. The cottage was in a great location in the heart of the village and our dog loved the daily trips to the park. Pateley Bridge is a lovely village with great little shops and cafes to explore. I would certainly book it again.

Cuckoo Cottage is an absolutely lovely cottage, beautifully presented and in a gorgeous setting.

The information left by the owner was so helpful, every question answered before it even arose! We all felt at home and settled the minute we walked through the door. A perfect retreat!

Lovely cottage in a beautiful place.

The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed - thank you

Another excellent holiday in a superb cottage near great pubs and shops.

Great walks around the village and close to places to visit for days out .

Ideal cottage with everything you need.

Location excellent for walking Nidderdale Way.

Lovely cottage in a great location, very clean and well stocked with everything needed.

Comfortable beds, lots of hot water and everything to a high standard. Short walk to the nearest pub and to shops and many longer walks from the doorstep. Great idea to have the little games room in the outhouse, we enjoyed a family darts tournament every evening! Only slight issue was the creaky floorboards and noisy door latches but it didn't spoil our stay.

Lovely cottage, cozy and so well positioned to enjoy as much of the yorkshire dales as possible.

Clean and sufficient! Great little house, would deffinately book again in the future.

The cottage was lovely and comfortable and it all felt very homely.

Great cottage in a great location

Had a lovely stay in Cuckoo Cottage!

Ideally located close to the village centre or Pateley Bridge, and central to many surrounding attractions and walks. Parking for one car was easy on the street outside, but our second car had to be parked a short walk away - not a problem, just something worth being aware of. The property was well presented and equipped, and generally clean, though perhaps overdue a deep clean (don't look under the beds!). Would happily visit again... and hope to soon!

Fabulous cottage within minutes walk of the village.

Great local butchers and bakers. Glassworks definitely worth a visit. The Crown in the village does great food and a lovely pint. Would recommend.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting!

Will definitly come again!

Beautiful cottage in superb location, great pubs on your doorstep and the best butchers shop in dales.

A very beautiful cottage in a great location for exploring the Nidderdale and wider Dales area.

Inside it is very comfortable - could be cosy with 6 adults but we were only 2! Everything you need is provided. The interior decor is lovely - and makes for a relaxing and chilled break.

Cuckoo Cottage was a great space for us as a family with two teenage kids.

The cottage had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable. The dartboard in the garden room was great for some competitiveness in the evening. The village of Pateley Bridge is lovely with lots of nice cafes and pubs. The owners of Cuckoo Cottage provided a very detailed and helpful guide to the house and area. The Nidderdale Valley was great and the Brimham Rocks (15 minute drive) are amazing.

Very well appointed residence.

The kitchen would have benefited from some small basins and another sauce pan. I’m pleased I took my own vegetable knives etc. Everything in full working order. The freezer needed defrosting!

Parking is an issue,no coffee machine as was seen in photos of cottage, tv was very small,
