"Lovely little cottage in prime location of the village, perfect for our few nights away."
Beds were sooo comfy!!! Found space each evening in the free car park
-
"A beautiful holiday home."
Very central to the town. I would definitely go again.

"Thank you for a very nice stay- overall, it was lovely!"
We, as Americans, are not accustomed to actually having to do anything other than touch a single button to adjust the heat in an entire zone of the building- but we figured that out in short order. The only suggestion for improvement is that you shortcut the checking in process, once they stay has been fully funded, but sending an email with the key lockbox code 24 hours before arrival. We could not get our American cell phones to ring through to owner's numbers provided and ended up bothering the landlord of the pub across the courtyard to allow us to use her phone. I would think it would be much less bother to both the owner and the tenants if that process could be avoided altogether. Otherwise, everything was just as described in the listing and we were very comfortable. It may be that the cookware, specifically the pots and pans could use some upgrading - the saute or skillets had been scrubbed and scratched with metal utensils so many times that the non-stick coating is peeling off. To note it, the good people at the pub were just super and seemed more than willing to help out. We enjoyed some great meals there as well as a drink or more. We would definitely come again and thanks much!

For the rest it was a very nice cottage.

Lovely cottage, super bedrooms and very very quiet at night so good sleep, car park within 200m so much better than expected, good communication from owners, awkeard to find at first as its slightly into a courtyard but that makes it all the more private WELL RECOMMENDED

"Our third stay, and it was extremely disappointing."
Came home two days early, due to no internet, and an electricity problem. We arrived on Thursday, and had internet only intermittently, but on Friday morning it had disappeared altogether. I tried turning it off and back on, also doing a reset, but to no avail. I informed Simon, who said that he would ask the provider to check the line. The line was said to be in working order, but we still had no internet.I had no phone signal at the cottage, and each text/ call to Simon involved a rainy walk of some distance, in order to be able to send it. Due to the current health issues of a close family member, it is essential for me to be easily contacted. On Monday we had to travel to Ripon (some 12 miles away) to use the free Wi-Fi at a well known bar chain. On Tuesday evening at around 7.30 pm there was a loud pop, and we were plunged into darkness. The only thing on was the TV, none of the lights were working.I walked in the dark up the road to call Simon, who said that I needed to go to the fuse box and flick the switch. This was in upstairs in the bedroom, behind the bed. I explained that finding my way upstairs and moving the bedroom furniture to get to the fuse box, in the pitch black, would not be easy.A torch we located in a kitchen drawer had a very weak light and kept going out altogether. I guess that it needs new batteries. We gave up and had an early night.We found the switch next morning and power was restored. It seemed that a blown light bulb may have been the cause.A couple of plug-in rechargeable Nitesafe torches which would illuminate in the event of a power cut, one both upstairs and downstairs, would solve this problem. Having had no internet for five days, and worried about the possibility of further electrical problems, we decided to leave two days early.

"Although this property is for 4 people we found the cooking area cramped and didn't find it comfortable to cook for 2 people."
The upstairs area has a lot of space and the beds were comfortable. The cottage is in a courtyard with a pub a few feet away from the property. As the cooking area was cramped the pub served very good food. The cottage was a convenient place to stay for the activities we wanted to do. At the time of our stay the roof was leaking and the double bed got wet.
-
"We had a wonderful stay."
The property was very clean and just as advertised. Perfect location and very comfortable.
-
"Really lovely cottage in the heart of Pately Bridge, with friendly owners."
Easy access to walking trails from the doorstep, bakery, butchers and supermarket all within a minutes walk. Great cafes and pubs, The Royal Oak is worth the walk over the bridge for dinner, great pub food. We would definitely return if holidaying in the area.
-
"Another pleasant stay at No 5!"
The cleaning lacked a bit of attention to detail, and one loo roll between two loos, seemed a little miserly ( fortunately the shop isn't far away). I do realise though, that this isn't the fault of the property owner, rather the changeover company. Other than that, we had an enjoyable stay, and look forward to returning.
-
"Couldn’t fault the cottage on cleanliness, equipment and communication,when the smoke alarm beeped the owner told us how to re set it, a different blind in the living room would save having to keep it closed so people can’t look in, the only downside is the noise from the pub at the other end of the courtyard."
The cottage is central for walks and the shops and free parking was a bonus. We had a lovely week with our grandson and good weather, food at The Bridge pub is delicious, all in all a great holiday.
-
"Great cottage."
Upstairs is lovely and spacious and light. Downstairs is compact but has everything you need. Not a lot of natural light coming in downstairs but that's just the layout. Everything we needed was already there and available with extra towels and linen if required. We never came across the board games it mentions that are in the living room unless they're in some hidden cupboard. Pateley Bridge itself is wonderful. There's lovely River walks and plenty of lovely chatty people about. There are many coffee shops/cafes and we went to the Royal Oak pub with an amazing steak and ale pie and a wonderful barmaid. We'd certainly return and we'd be more than happy to return to this cottage too. Thanks.

"Although the general facilities were okay we were vrry disappointed by the black mould in the bathroom especially the shower door area."
There was nowhere to sit outside and sharing the "courtyard", which was basically a thoroughfare, with the pubs outdoor seating area was extremely noisy. The door key was a problem and needed much effort to lock and unlock. We loved Pateley Bridge but went home 2 days early as we did not enjoy the position of the cottage.
-
"The cottage is very comfortable, clean and tidy, with everything we needed."
Downstairs loo was a bonus. Parking as described, with the Free car park on Park Road, only a minute away. The cottage is well located, with a two minute walk to the butchers, bakers, and takeaways. Our only slight difficulty was the lock on the front door, which seemed rather temperamental, and maybe needs a maintenance check? All in all a lovely time was had, and we would love to visit again.
-
"We enjoyed this holiday so much we immediately booked another week in September."
The cottage is very clean and well provided with everything needed, although it’s a pity there is no private outside space. Pateley Bridge has lots to do - good shops and great walks and very well located to drive to nearby places such as Ripon and Ilkley. The cottage is well located within Pateley Bridge, close to shops, eateries and fabulous walks from the doorstep. A perfect holiday! A few things need attention though. Some of the blinds can’t be raised properly, the bathroom door can’t be shut, let alone locked, and most importantly, the front door lock needs replacing. It always took several attempts to open the door, the key spinning round to no avail.
-
"Location was great for seeing Pateley, but rather noisy in the morning being next to the pub with deliveries and bins being emptied."
The cottage itself was lovely just a couple of things which could be improved - the bathroom door is really hard to close, the toaster trips the circuit breaker and you can’t see the markings on the oven so it’s hard to know what settings your cooking on. Other than that we had a lovely stay.
-
"It was a great holiday cottage with all the shops nearby including the local pub."
Parking Free and Paid, was nearby, as stated in the listing and the paid parking was quite cheap and reasonable. The cottage had everything that you would expect and need. The shower/bath and heating was very good. A great cottage, which I would recommend!
-
"The cottage is in an excellent central location close to all the amenities in Pately Bridge."
Initially parking looks a bit awkward but with a bit of effort looking there's a nearby car park (on Park Road) and on street parking not far away. If you don't want to cook there is a pub and two take aways withing 5 minutes and more takeaways/pubs within a 10 minute walk- you definitely won't starve! Personally I've problems with my right leg and all the furnishings are very low so caused me some trouble, but if you're able-bodied you should be absolutely fine.
-
"The accommodation is very clean, tidy and comfy."

-

"Cobwebs in the light shades and in the main bedroom , oven knob numbers worn couldn't put anything in the oven, no grill pan so couldn't grill anything, livingroom fire at the bottom of the stares not working when we arrived the cottage felt damp when we arrived so we went home early."

"Lovely place to stay, hope to visit again."

"Lovely clean cottage."
Central location was perfect for all village amenities - including great food at The Royal Oak - and ideal as a base for beautiful Nidderdale walks. Broken shower was a big disappointment as one of our party has difficulty using the bath, although we appreciated the problem in getting it fixed. Plenty of hot water though and bathroom nice and warm with heated towel rail. Bath cleaner would have been helpful. Beds were super comfy; loved the soft duvet & cover, plentiful supply of towels and spacious upstairs. Just to let you know, neither of the can openers worked & we missed having kitchen tongs & scissors. All-in-all, a good value-for-money quaint little cottage. We had an amazing few days. Thank you!

"A lovely cozy clean and comfortable cottage in Pateley Bridge, only downside being no outside space to enjoy the gorgeous( yes we had some!"
!) sunshine! Pub within 50 yards not noisy and delicious food. Spar shop also within 2 minute walk for conveniences.... Would have been nice to have some coffee for the morning in the cottage as we arrived after 11pm Really beautiful part of the world, THANK YOU

"Joanne and Simon were lovely they helped set up a birthday surprise balloons and cake etc."
The place was lovely 2mins walk to everything. My youngest daughter was ill and they were so understanding. We will be back
-
"Upstairs was much better than downstairs for space."
Living room would struggle to accommodate 4 comfortably. The table and chairs were not safe to use. Overall the accommodation was good but could be improved for comfort downstairs.
-
"We had a great stay at No."
5 The Stables. Clean, spacious and great location. The great weather during our stay helped too!
-
"What a fantastic cottage, the pictures don't do it justice."
Lovely high ceilings, really comfortable sofas and beds. Really loved it, had everything we needed and we will recommend and return. Pateley Bridge is a great location to explore the local area, with great facilities and local shops.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our short time in Pateley Bridge."
The cottage provided nothing that we didn’t need and everything that we did. Pateley Bridge is a good base for walkers, hikers and cyclists. The scenery once you are out of Pateley Bridge is stunning. Great short stay and good value.
-
"Please let the landlord know that the extractor fan is not working in the bathroom."
this is not a complaint just something to be aware of.
-
"Great location and lovely property - really enjoyed our stay."
Great walks nearby and good location for any park runners wanting to do Fountains Abbey. The parking area was always full so we parked in nearby street which was fine.
-
"Loved the location!"
Beautiful village near a fantastic park which our toddler loved. Had some great walks and the cottage was a good base for all of our day trips out.The upstairs was a lot larger than expected. Would definetly return! The cottage itself was exactly what we needed and more :-)
-
"The cottage was really good value for the price and had everything we needed."
Great location and facilities.
-
"I read some criticisms of the property before arrival but found them to be overly harsh."
The property is well maintained, clean and very comfortable. It was a perfect base for us being out and about every day. If we were expecting to stay around the property for our break we probably wouldn't have booked that one due to no outside space or natural light downstairs but that's the nature of the property not a criticism. Hosts were very helpful.

"A couple of little niggles ,main standard reading lamp no bulb, some if ceiling ..."
A couple of little niggles ,main standard reading lamp no bulb, some if ceiling light bulbs needed replacing, could also do with new cooker top, but these were only minor points, but feel we won’t be booking that cottage again lounge very dark , and court yard at front very noisy but overall a warm and comfortable place
Thank you very much for your feedback. We have now installed a new Hob and had all the light bulb's replaced in the downstairs, it's difficult to reach the lights with a regular household step ladder due to the ceiling height. Many thanks Property Owner

"The cottage had very difficult stairs narrow tred with a bend near the top, should have been mentioned in description, if it had we wouldn't have booked it, also lack of natural light on the ground floor the one and only window is under a very wide arch, we had to have lights on even on the sunnies of days, the cottage is ok if you use it for just sleeping."
Outlook from one and only ground floor window is the other cottages bins, I could have sat and looked at bins at home!!
-
"Number 5 the stables We had a fantastic stay, the cottage is perfect, lovely ..."
Number 5 the stables We had a fantastic stay, the cottage is perfect, lovely and cozy, there’s everything you need for your stay Very close to pub, cafes and shops and great walks from Pateley Bridge We had a great New Year here

"For someone on holiday I thought everything was comfy."
We didn't expect to spend our time cooking so didn't get round to using the stove.The unit is certainly in a great location with everything you need close at hand.I was a bit disappointed there was no washing machine seeing as I was there for two weeks.However I found a friendly laundry man just over the bridge so all was ok.All in all a pleasant experience and I would come back again.Bert

"I would highly recommend No 5 The Stables."
The cottage is really homely, beautifully kept with everything you need for a brilliant holiday home. The location is fabulous as you are so close to all the shops, cafes & pubs. We were out walking everyday, with lots of walks starting & finishing in Pateley Bridge. We did Brimham Rocks and Malham Cove and Grassington - definitely must dos. A visit to the walk shop (a few doors away) to buy some walk books was the best thing we did. All in all a fabulous cottage in the best location - everything you need to have an amazing holiday.

"The cottage was not in a very clean state there were cobwebs and spiders downstairs and upstairs."
The kitchen facilities were in a very poor state rusty pans cooker and stove not clean rusty rings no cleaning products left.no milk coffee or tea left had to buy after a long journey no toilet rolls washing up liquid left either. The towels were not the best need replacing. The extractor in bathroom needs a good clean very dirty.poor TV choice had to buy dvds.please inform people renting property beer garden out side can get noisy if football on.the only positive for this property is great for amenities shops and bus stop walks.also lock box to high up struggled to reach it
-
"Unfortunately although this cottage was in a good location it was disappointed to find the description inaccurate."
There was no courtyard furniture as stated in the details so nowhere to sit outside. There was hardly any natural light downstairs so needed to have lights on all the time. NO hairdryer or washing machine and the electric hob was really dirty and saucepans rusty. Cobwebs everywhere downstairs. And the hob looked like it was being held in position with blue tack which was also a dirt trap.
-
"A thoughtfully furnished and equipped cottage with quality furniture and fittings with an abundant supply of towels and throws and comfortable beds."
We had ample space and being close to all the small shops in the High street such as the bakery just across the yard was a bonus. Loved it.
-
"Loved this cottage - ideally suited for walking & Pateley Bridge has everything you could need - sofas not as pictured but much more comfy, bed was very comfortable, plenty of hot water & heaters were nice & warm."
..throws were a nice touch. Downstairs loo was handy. Pans had seen better days but very adequate, very happy with the cottage.
-
"The cottage was lovely and the owner is very nice."
However, we had to buy our own toilet roll, hand soap as the one they left was pretty much empty and bin bags which was quite annoying as I would have expected to have some in there. I got over it quite quickly though! Other than that, everything was amazing! I would definitely stay again.
-
"This is a great cottage located in the middle of Pateley Bridge, with everything you need within 5 minutes walk."
For walkers it is perfect for doing the Nidderdale trail and Brimham Rocks which we did and other great walks. I would recommend the cottage to anyone who wants to spend some time in the Dales.
