I can only echo what all the other 5 star reviews say! Having had to postpone our trip to Croatia, we decided to sample the delights of the Yorkshire Dales and we weren't disappointed. The cottage itself is beautiful and furnished to a high standard with everything you could possibly need, and it's spotlessly clean. The location is stunning and perfect to get away from it all.
We had great trips out to Brimham Rocks, Fewston and Swinsty Reservoirs, Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Gardens, and Stockeld Park, plus a visit to Betty's and Valley Gardens in Harrogate. Can thoroughly recommend Mackenzie's Smokehouse (5 mins drive) for lunch and/or groceries. We had delicious pies from both butchers in Pateley Bridge.
But what makes Yates Cottage so special are the hosts, Andy and Sue and their lovely family. We felt so welcomed and nothing was too much for them. It really did feel like we were being hosted by friends. The icing on the cake was that our 9 year old son was invited to walk Andy and Sue's beautiful spaniels and I know this has created memories for him he will never forget! We can't wait to return. Thank you the Murtagh family!
