  • "This annex is a lovely find and in a great location for exploring Yorkshire."

    The annex was clean and comfortable. Rose’y and John were really welcoming and helpful. They also generously let us stay later when our plans had to change due to the snow. The kitchen is well-equipped and we had everything we needed. We were staying during a particularly cold week but rooms were quick to warm up and hold their heat so we were more than comfortable. We enjoyed our meal at the nearest pub too - The Roebuck; and found some lovely shops in Otley. Harewood House was a lovely visit not too far away too.

  • "This is a beautiful, high standard and well maintained property, surrounded by fabulous views of the Yorkshire countryside."

    It's a perfect base to explore towns near and far. The cleanliness was second to none. The bathroom is well equipped, with a stunning standalone bath and powerful shower. The kitchen, although compact, pretty much met requirements. The only thing we found is that the smoke alarm is very sensitive and, if you like cooking, a 2 ring hob forces you to be a little inventive. In the living room, as it was September, it was chilly but the electric heaters provided were really effective at warming up the room very quickly. The sofas were lovely and comfortable. The bedroom is also lovely, but the bedding could do with a refresh as it's a little faded and tired (if you pardon the pun) and there's buttons missing off the bottom of the duvet cover. Although we would love to stay again, the proximity to the owners (an inter-connecting door away) made us a little uncomfortable. I must say though that the owners are lovely, we just felt like we were in their home. I'm sure for most it wouldn't be an issue at all. Thank you John and Rosey

  • "Bride Cross Granary is a fantastic property for those seeking a comfortable base to explore the North."

    Perfectly placed with Ilkley, Skipton, Harrogate and Knaresborough all within a short drive, we found it to be ideal for a week of exploration in comfort. You're in good hands with friendly and welcoming landlords John and Rose, who clearly take a lot of pride in the property and were always available to help if needed. It was especially nice to arrive to a few nice touches such as toilet paper, eggs and coffee. The views are spectacular, the location was perfect for us, and it was special to be able to relax in a sauna at the end of the day. Thank you sincerely and we hope to be back.

    We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us - you certainly brought some nice weather! Have a safe trip home and we hope you might be able to stay with us again when you return to the UK. Property Owner

    John, the owner, was very helpful, he showed us around on arrival and provided some eggs, milk and logs for the wood-burner. The cottage was very clean throughout (with slippers provided), the facilities were good, the garden was beautiful and peaceful. I would highly recommend.

  • "Our time here it was lovely."

    We had a really peaceful holidays. We weren't specting such a views, nature and some time alone in the forest. I would recommend go by car, we went by bikes and there is a lot of stiff hills, but going down the hill is an adrenaline that goes 40 miles an hour. It was wonderful, and John is an amazing tour person, he explained us where to go and give an amazing instructions of where are the places to visit. Keep going like that, the house is lovely, sauna and bath a good relaxing night after the cycling.

    Hi Jimena We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and had such a good time exploring the area. Good luck with your studies in London! Property Owner

The property

Perched on the outskirts of Otley, North Yorkshire, is this charming holiday home, Bride Cross Granary.

A tasteful barn conversion brimming with character and a wealth of on-site amenities, this property is perfect for a romantic getaway, and boasts great positioning for breathtaking landscapes, including the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Inside, make use of a well-equipped kitchen, where delicious home-cooked meals can be prepared to be enjoyed at the dining table or even in the sitting area, where a woodburning stove takes centre-stage, or you can sit, relax and enjoy the beautiful Washburn Valley view on the designated area at the rear of the property.

Before you grab a luxurious bath on your way to retiring to the plush double bedroom, take a moment to unwind in the downstairs sauna room, a unique inclusion that offers guests the chance to detox and relax after a long day of exploring.

If you can tear yourself away from your tranquil dwelling, make the short car trip to the nearby location of Bolton Abbey, where you can visit the Stepping Stones tourist attraction or maybe roam the beautiful grounds of The Tithe Barn estate.

Harrogate is also accessible by car and is home to the serene Valley Gardens and The Stray, perfect for walks with your partner on a sunny afternoon, or if you’re up for something spooky as the months grow darker, join a Harrogate Ghost Walk, if you dare.

Further afield you can find Leeds, a lively city full of museums such as The Leeds Industrial Museum, which was at one point in history the world’s largest woollen mill, natural landmarks including the Kirkstall Valley Nature Reserve, and for those soap-opera enthusiasts, book onto The Emmerdale Village Tour where you can experience the setting of one of Britain’s most-enduring television series.

Enjoy all of this and more during a stay at Bride Cross Granary.

About the location

OTLEY

Bolton Abbey 8 miles; Harrogate 8 miles.

The historical market town of Otley lies on the boundary between North and West Yorkshire and is situated in the beautiful countryside of Lower Wharfedale, just eight miles from Harrogate. Steeped in history, Otley has much to interest the visitor including many events throughout the year to attract all the family. Otley has a street market three times a week, a monthly Farmers’ Market, a wide range of specialist shops, award-winning bakeries and butchers, as well as high street chains and three supermarkets. The many traditional pubs and inns offer good food and a range of beers. Along the River Wharfe, which runs through the heart of the town, is the attractive Riverside Park, offering beautiful walks, whilst the wooded hillside, rocks and moorland of Chevin Forest Park provide spectacular views over the town and the glorious surrounding countryside. Adding to its charm, Otley has its own Bellman who calls out the town’s news and events! Nearby Bolton Abbey is one of the region's most scenic areas and the walk along the river to the 'Strid' is a must. Ilkley and Harrogate have a splendid selection of shops, pubs, restaurants and cafés, including Bettys Tea rooms, without doubt the finest tea shop in Yorkshire. Wharfedale is the perfect base for exploring this part of Yorkshire.
