"We loved our stay in Wren cottage."
It really has everything and all of the appliances were a really high speck and in excellent order. The cottage was warm and cosy and the shower was excellent. The location for accessing the many walks around Pately Bridge was perfect and the town itself was beautiful. There were some useful maps and information in the cottage and the welcome gifts of milk, cake and wine were very thoughtful . Our only improvement was the unsteadiness of the patio which could be quite tricky in wet weather or for those who are less steady on their feet.
All in all a really lovely stay - thank you !

"We stayed at wren cottage from 28th March 25, on arrival the ample parking bay."
was right outside the property, once inside the cottage we found it clean, warm, neat and tidy with everything you needed to enjoy a week's holiday, with a pub and a Chinese takeaway less than 150 metres away what more could you ask for. As we are keen walkers there were plenty of maps and guides available, we also found the natives very friendly and polite.
Thank you so much for that Mr Povey. You are welcome back any time. We take great pride in providing a lovely welcoming, warm & cosy cottage for our guests. You were also very lucky with the weather.

"We had the best time ever at no 2 Wren cottage."
It was perfect home from home,it had everything we needed and more. I have always booked through Sykes and have visited Shropshire,the Cotswolds several times this was our first time to North Yorkshire,and have fallen in love with it we will definately be back only if we can go back to Wren Cottage. It is the only place I have ever stayed that had blinds on the bedroom windows and heavy lined curtains it was so dark in the mornings which I loved otherwise on holiday or not I am up with the birds. We loved our stay and hope to return this year again. Thank you so much Roland for making our holiday special.
Thank you so much for that wonderful review. I must admit it is wonderful when you draw those curtains in the morning & see that fantastic view. You are welcome back any time. Thanks again.

"Wren Cottage is lovely."
There was cake, wine and some dog biscuits as a welcome which was nice. There was an issue with the cake which was resolved straight away by the owner. Contact with the owner was easy and detailed.
The lane to the property is VERY narrow and anyone with a “wide” car would struggle to get up.
The garden was well maintained and a lovely place to sit in and enjoy the sunshine in the afternoons.
Pateley Bridge is a short stroll across the river.
Loved our stay!

"An excellent cottage, unbelievably well equipped."
The cake, wine and milk left for us by the owner was such a lovely touch, thank you. The views from the lounge across the hills were unbelievable and it was lovely to be able to walk into Pateley Bridge to enjoy a meal in the evenings. The owner was extremely helpful and friendly and I would highly recommend Wren Cottage. Unfortunately the same can't be said of Sykes who were supposed to send us a £40 discount code upon return to book a future holiday with them. Five weeks later, and after numerous phone calls to them, each time being promised it would be sorted, I'm still waiting. This is now the 4th holiday with them this year that I've had the same problem. Their Customer Service, if indeed it exists, needs a complete overhaul. How hard can it be to send me an email with the code? I am now waiting for 2 codes. Come on Sykes, sort yourselves out and give some customer satisfaction!!!

"We had a great holiday in Wren Cottage."
It was very comfortable and fully equipped with all we could need. We took advantage of the two pubs in Pateley Bridge, the Royal Oak and Crown which both served delicious meals. Great location with many good walks in the area, including Brimham Rocks and Malham Cove not far away to name but two. Brilliant holiday!

"We really enjoyed our stay in Wren Cottage."
The house was well equipped and everything we needed for a pleasant stay was available. The house was clean and smelt fresh, all the linen was excellent quality. My wife had broken her foot a few months ago, so she found the roadway at the side of the house too steep to walk down, but this did not interfere with our stay. Loved Pateley Bridge and nearby Grassington. A very happy week was spent at Wren Cottage and we would happily stay there again.

"We have used this cottage for 11 years of the 14 years we have visited Pateley Bridge for our annual week of fresh air."
Over those 3 years away we have had to use alternative cottages because it is a location that has become more popular and consequently good cottages are getting booked out very quickly.
For us this has become a comfortable alternative to home for a week in a great part of the world.

The chocolate cake and wine on arrival put us in a very good mood for the a great week and the owner was very helpful both before and during our stay. The house was in a brilliant situation, with great views across the dale from the sitting room, the town centre only a few minutes walk away with competing local butchers with award winning pies meriting several visits from us. There are lots of good walks from the doorstep and lots of local dog-friendly eateries and pubs. Fantastic attractions such as Fountains Abbey and Brimham Rocks are a short drive away, with Nidderdale llama trekking a highlight of a memorable week. Thanks for a great holiday!

As we drove into Pateley Bridge we we're dazzled by the wonderful Christmas lights in the high street. When we arrived at Wren Cottage there was a delicious chocolate cake and bottle of red wine on the kitchen table and a lovely little Christmas tree in the living room and enough coal for the fire. The beds we're so comfy it was like floating on air. Beautiful cottage and location, we'll definitely be returning.
