Overview
Property code: OC-DS041

Part of a converted schoolhouse in the Nidderdale region of the Yorkshire Dales, this welcoming home has space for four guests along with two canine companions and is perfectly located for exploring the town of Pateley Bridge and the surrounding undulating countryside.

Guests to this cottage will be treated by the owners to a lovely welcome pack, along with plenty of information on the local area, and a wide variety of games to enjoy as a family. Everything is set over one floor but you’ll be in an elevated position so you can enjoy views over the area. The hallway’s boot room is a handy place to hang coats and dog leads before you head through to the bright and light kitchen to cook tasty meals. Let sleeping dogs lie and watch movies together in the lounge, before heading to one of the two bedrooms (a double and a twin) to get some well-deserved rest. The property is accessed via an external stairway, and also boasts a patio garden which has a table and chairs so you can enjoy al fresco wining and dining.

Set within the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Pateley Bridge is a pretty, chocolate-box market town with several dog-friendly pubs and a range of shops and galleries. Head off on foot and paw into the surrounding countryside and find a new leash of life on the scenic walk around Nought Moor which offers superb views and contrasting landscapes. Enjoy inspecting the strange historic rock formations at Brimham Rocks which is set amongst stunning moorland (4 miles), or uncover Stump Cross Caverns (11.5 miles), ancient natural cave formations set underneath the Yorkshire Dales.

Humbug cottage is in a perfect location, very quiet, but within a five minute walk of Pateley Bridge high Street. The cottage itself has good quality, comfortable, furnishings and has everything you need. We found the maps very useful, particularly the 'walks around Pateley Bridge'. It's definitely a home from home and we would not hesitate to rRead moreecommend it. Hide

The property is in a central part of town, just off the main street but it is a nice quiet area. It is very comfortable, clean and well equipped. We had a lovely time and can recommend Humbug Lodge as a great base to explore the beautiful surrounding countryside.

We had a lovely stay at Humbug lodge. A complimentary bottle of wine and biscuits were given on arrival which was a lovely gesture. The beds were very comfortable and I would recommend this place. My only disappointment was there was nowhere outside for the dog to run around and the bins left outside had cats rummaging in them. I would recommend anRead more outdoor bin. Hide

We arrived on a wet very windy day after a 6 hour journey and found the lodge to to be warm, light, airy and comfortable. In an excellent location in easy walking distance of all local shops and amenities. There is an abundance of places to see, either on foot or to drive to.

Lovely spacious cottage, felt very much at home. Everything we needed was provided. Comfortable sofas and bed. Enjoyed the outlook on to the church. Only a couple of minutes walk to the high street, excellent coffee shops and highly recommend both butchers. The Nidderdale museum, just across the road, is superb and not to be missed.

Spacious, comfortable cottage. It has a smart tv, lot of books, games and puzzles to keep you occupied on those rainy days. The kitchen is well equipped with lots of essentials provided. These include, coffee, tea, coffee mate, sugar, herbs and spices, gravy granules, salt, pepper, vinegar, cooking oil and dilute juice. Cleaning products, washing uRead morep liquid, hand wash and laundry pods are,also provided. Add to that, a welcome pack of wine and chocolates. The only issue we had was the smell of damp but we kept it well aired so it eventually cleared. It's a very quiet area but close enough to the high street, with the oldest sweet shop and an award winning butcher. I've been to pately bridge a few times and it's a great spot to further explore North yorkshire. Hide

Had a nice week at Humbug Lodge, comfortable, relaxing and well equipped. Enjoyed our evening meals at the Crown Hotel and found plenty of interesting things at the museum the small entrance fee was well worth it. Weather could have been better but it didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves. Will stay again
