  • "Old Stone Cottage is a real gem."

    We have been back 4 times because it is just a perfect place for a couple of nights away. It’s so well equipped, everything you could think of is supplied with lovely touches like Yorkshire Tea. It’s always super clean, with good quality bed linen and towels and the location is so central. You can stroll to several fabulous pubs or take a longer walk across the fields to The Bridge who serve Hawkstone lager. If you ever need to contact the owners they are super responsive and nothing is too much trouble.

  • "Lovely cottage in a great location, well equipped."

    Underfloor heating nice, a small suggestion would be to put a large rug in the living area (in front of the settee). I loved the faux candles in the front bedroom, nice touch and the fantastic library. Utility room great place to store muddy boots.

    Well equipped (no meanness!) and good quality, and well looked after. Got snowed in, which was cosy if awkward for going places. The underfloor heating keeps you snug! For carnivores, or just pie fans, there are two excellent butchers close by. We'll be back some sunny day to do the rounds.

    The cottage is beautifully decorated and fill of warmth. Everything you need is there for a very cosy comfortable stay! Lovely local walks straight from the front door. Parking spot was available directly outside, every day we were there. The cottage is situated on a quiet street walking distance to Pately Bridge main street which has lovely pubs, cafe and restaurant as well as gorgeous butchers and the oldest sweet shop in England! We used it as our base to explore the Dales and beyond. Would highly recommend this cottage!
