  • "Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wren Cottage in May."

    Everything needed was provided for our stay, including cake and wine. A beautiful cottage with comfortable bed and lovely garden. The views from the bedroom were picturesque. Would most certainly stay again. We go to Yorkshire every year and this is one of the best we've stayed in.

    As with previous visits we were very happy with the cottage. Welcome gifts, clean accommodation, well equipped and then of course the gorgeous views.

  • "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!

    So easy to get to shops and pubs, and walks straight out the door. Perfect for our family of three.

  • "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!!!

    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!

    Just the two of us and our dog, but plenty of space for 4.

  • "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 property

Pateley Bridge 0.3 miles.

An outstanding stone-built, Victorian mid-terrace cottage located on the edge of the popular Nidderdale town of Pateley Bridge, ten miles from Grassington.

Situated in a quiet setting on a hillside overlooking the town, this delightful holiday cottage provides the perfect base for a couple or small family within this ever popular area.

A well thought out renovation of this traditional cottage, the current owners have gone to great lengths to produce a modern home with good facilities and yet still retain the character and charm of the original dwelling.

Individual styling and contemporary furnishings are evident throughout the accommodation in this superb cottage, which features a lovely sitting room with cosy open fire, along with fabulous long distance views.

The modern kitchen diner, extended to include a summer room boasts a bright, light space through the Velux windows and offers a well-equipped and spacious area for getting everyone together and enjoying an evening meal.

Upstairs, the two stylish bedrooms boast lovely views of the surrounding countryside, and the ground floor modern bathroom ensures that guests have everything they need to enjoy that much deserved country break.

The spacious garden is an excellent place to sit and relax and there’s also a useful summerhouse.

A short walk across the river and guests will discover the many delights of Pateley Bridge, the winner of Great British High Street in 2016.

There are traditional pubs, including the excellent Sportsman’s Arms, restaurants, curiosity shops and a wonderful sweet shop.

Nearby, nestled in Yorkshire's beautiful Nidderdale Valley is The Yorke Arms, an 18th century coaching house and shooting lodge, that boasts a Michelin starred restaurant with rooms.

This superb cottage is ideal for walkers as it has the Nidderdale Way running past the back door and guests can visit Brimham Rocks, How Stean Gorge, Stump Cross Caverns and Fountains Abbey, a World Heritage Site.

This charming holiday home is also close to the 2014 Tour de France route so people can experience the route and spectacular scenery that was screened worldwide and bike riders will relish following the route taken by the world’s cycling stars.

Within driving distance are Grassington with its wonderful old town square, Harrogate offering a fabulous shopping centre and famous Bettys tea rooms and the canal side market town of Skipton.

A quality cottage for that long overdue break to the Yorkshire Dales.
