Paradise Cottage

Lovely cottage.

Access to property down narrow lane difficult.Reluctant to go out in car because of this.

Peaceful, clean and well equipped.

Decent dishwasher and washing machine. Plenty of crockery and cutlery. Good shower, plenty of hot water. Comfy beds. Wifi ok most of the time. We were impressed that the owners seemed to have responded to previous comments e.g there is now a bottle opener! Own only suggestion would be a new toaster. Garden is wild and would not be suitable for young children. We saw deer in it though. Pateley Bridge very nearby has pubs, cafes, several small grocery stores .The whole area is beautiful..

Paradise Cottage is in a great spot with some local walks close by.

The Cottage had everything we needed and was very clean, warm and comfortable. The rustic garden attracted plenty of birds, pheasants and even a couple of the local sheep who decided to keep us company. We had a wonderful stay, some cosy nights by the log burner and would highly recommend.

Wow!

Stunning location, beautiful cottage, certainly lives up to its name. Clean, cosy and well equipped, had everything we needed for a great week away. We would highly recommend staying here & would happily revisit.

The property was VERY cold on arrival and even after turning up the heating from 9 to 22 it kept reverting to 9 so had to be reset again and again.

It took ages to get warm. No fresh milk was left for us and very little of anything else. The grounds were very overgrown and planters choked with weeds, so not very welcoming. But the bathroom was spacious and well equipped as was the kitchen, and the beds were very comfy. It has the potential to be superb and to earn the title of Paradise Cottage.

Wonderful cottage in a beautiful location.

The cottage was very private just as we wanted and the rooms were quite large bright and airy and spotlessly clean as expected.

The rear garden was a bit unruly but still comfortable to sit out and enjoy the sun.The only downside to the cottage was the drive to the cottage along Peat Lane so many pot holes to dodge but overall a great place to stay

A lovely cottage that is tastefully furnished in a beautiful quiet spot yet within easy walking distance of town The cottage was extremely well equipped and very comfortable.

Cottage was lovely, and a great location to explore a variety of different places!

The cottage and location were amazing, excellent communication and all instructions were clear.

Perfect base for walking and cycling and exploring area. Wildlife in garden was a delight with deer, bats and at least 15 species of birds. Ways to improve would be a small table and chair or bench at front of house to catch morning sun with first cup of coffee. Curtains in bedroom could do with being thicker as bedroom light from 5am so husband found it difficult to sleep.

The cottage was 10/10.

It was exceptionally clean, well equipped and the perfect combination of being in a quiet rural location but also easy to find and just a few minutes from shops and pubs. The cottage had a homely feel and the instructions were clear and helpful but not too much. It heated up quickly and stayed warm. It felt very spacious due to the generous room sizes and good layout. There is a very large utility/boot room and 3rd room upstairs that are great additions for storage. There’s an outdoor tap and hose too. The 360 degree views were stunning and we had deer and pheasants visit the garden. Lovely walks from the front door. Highly recommend. To the owner, the only addition I’d suggest is kitchen spray for the worktops for guests to use during their stay.

A very well equipped and comfortable cottage.

Ideal for enjoying the beautiful and varied area of Yorkshire. Both bedrooms were lovely, beds comfortable. Kitchen spacious and lots of utensils, although maybe bring your own bottle opener. Being really picky, the immediate outside space was a bit austere, but the woodland setting was very attractive. Outdoor seating would be a useful addition for the summer.

Great little cottage, tucked away up a small valley.

Very peaceful, yet only 5 minutes down to Pateley Bridge.

Gorgeous detached property set in a beautiful and tranquil spot.

Sitting outside and listening to the flow of the stream and the birds in the trees was so peaceful. To be visited by deer’s was also another added bonus. Inside it was just as blissful with very well equipped kitchen, huge bathroom and equally large and comfortable lounge and bedrooms. Just two of us so we had lots of room but plenty of room for 6. The steep driveway, off a steep single track lane, was a challenge on arrival but we managed it and it was fine after that first go (had to change the drive mode on the car to do it though). Definitely recommend this property and would stay again.

Lovely cottage in a rural location.

Highly recommended.

A beautiful location; stunning walks from the door.

The house was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed the peace and isolation.

We enjoyed our stay at this spacious secluded cottage on the outskirts of Bewerley.

The beds were some the most comfortable we have found in Sykes cottages. Indeed we regret we had not investigated their manufacture further before leaving to perhaps replace those at home. There was plenty of room with a large kitchen / diner and a very spacious bathroom. The sizeable utility room was an added bonus We found the cottage very convenient for nearby Pateley Bridge and its annual Nidderdale show. We enjoyed our walks from the doorstep as well as exploring the upper reaches of the lovely quiet Nidderdale valley and beyond. What could have enhanced our thoroughly enjoyable stay in this cottage further ?:- We would have appreciated further instructions on operating the central heating and heated bathroom floor to get the best out of them. The lounge sofa was not so comfortable and would have been a bit restrictive if 4 people wanted to enjoy the tv. We found the shower control awkward when trying to use it with wet hands. Whilst the steep driveway’s surface had been enhanced recently, we found it could still be slippery in certain conditions. As the evenings were drawing in we believe the cottage would have benefitted from some enhancements to the lighting with perhaps better illumination of the kitchen worktops , higher bedside lamps for reading and a night light on the corridor between the bathroom and bedroom doors. We were surprised to find no washing up bowl in the kitchen or utility sink. We would seriously consider booking it again when we next want to visit the area.

Paradise Cottage was everything it said it was.

The location was beautiful and so peaceful after a day out walking or sightseeing. It had everything we needed and more.

Paradise Cottage is based in a stunning location, and is furnished to a very high standard.

The cottage is spacious with the added bonus of a utility room to store your walking boots etc. There are numerous walks you can do direct from the cottage without having to take out the car. The beds are really comfy with the added bonus of falling asleep listening to the beck. Bewerley & Pateley Bridge are both delightful with plenty of places to eat. We cannot fault the cottage and will definitely return. The owners were quick to respond to our questions before our visit also.

We had a lovely week here at your lovely cottage.

It was so peaceful and we had everything we needed.

Clean, bright and well equipped cottage.

A good location for walking. Very quiet. Everything was as described and we were pleased to have the freezer. The drive (steeper than it looks on Google Streetview) had just been tarmacked and had a top dressing of very fine chippings which did make it a challenge when we arrived, and there is now a gate across the bottom (which we kept open for the whole week). No real problems going up if you get into first gear before getting on to the drive and take it slowly! We definitely recommend the cottage.

I’ve stayed at Paradise Cottage a couple of times.

A quiet and beautiful location , and very comfortable accommodation. Highly recommended.

A beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings.

The drive access is tricky due to the type of surface & steepness & the road approach is narrow & also steep so care is required. Well appointed, very comfortable bed/bedding, most essential kitchen items present but a teapot & smaller fry pan, tongs wine stopper would be useful. Really cosy in the lounge especially with log burner lit. Lovely woodland walks from the door, easy route via road or more energetic by countryside to Pateley Bridge with access to shops, pubs, restaurants. Local history & plenty of surrounding areas within the dales close by. Had a great stay thank you.

Really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely location and surroundings.

It was a lovely house, very comfortable with everything you could need on your stay.

Great surroundings with a short walk to the village and lots of other walks close by. We did struggle a little getting up the drive but that won’t stop us coming back. Great place to stay

My Mum and I had such a lovely week at Paradise Cottage!

It just felt like home and we didn’t want to leave! So peaceful and tranquil especially when sat out in the garden with the trees and stream close by! Beautifully done inside too! I can confirm there is now a freezer, coffee table and iron now! The access road, as others have said, was a bit tricky, but I managed to get up in my estate car. The owners are working on getting it sorted out though. It won’t stop me from going back however!

The cottage is well situated in a pleasant location and overall we enjoyed our stay, however there were some things that need attention.

The entrance to the cottage is not just steep, as was warned in the listing, but it is also unsurfaced! Which meant our vehicle which is an SUV, was scattering and slipping on the hardcore all the way up. This could easily be remedied by surfacing the hill with either tarmac or concrete. This needs doing as a matter of urgency. In the cottage we were disappointed to find there was no freezer, even the fridge did not have a freezer compartment. Also we could not find an Iron or ironing board anywhere. these are small things which would be easily remedied, and they would have made our stay so much more enjoyable. Finally the hot water system does need attention. Each morning upstairs we seemed to have to have difficulty getting the hot water to come out out of the tap! If these problems are addressed we would be happy to come back.

Beautiful cottage, in stunning convenient location, very tastefully renovated and furnished.

The bed linen, towels and beds are exceptional, and the property warm and comfortable. Overall great experience, A couple of things were therefore a surprise, no coffee table in the lounge, no dishwasher tablets, kitchen roll or J cloth ( there was a sponge) and the drive way is quite tricky due to the loose clippings and quite steep incline. Not an issue for us and probably due to time of year, but an open fire was a feature and no fuel provided. Sorry if these sound picky, but just surprising in such a thoughtfully presented property Thank you
