Holiday cottage, Pateley Bridge (3mls SE) - Sleeps 4 (FCH89622)

For couples and small families in search of adventure, this charming, traditionally styled property set within the Yorkshire Dales National Park offers a great garden and conservatory for relaxation surrounded by natural beauty. With the River Nidd accessible via the garden gate, rest assured that peaceful walks are not far to find, whilst the vibrant village of Pateley Bridge is just 3 miles away.

This upside-down property has been designed with the views in mind, ensuring you can maximise your enjoyment whilst relaxing in the comfortable living area. On the first floor, the conservatory is a light, bright space where you can sprawl out and read a book, or share stories with your loved ones whilst gazing out over the garden come rain or shine.

Adjoining the conservatory is the kitchen and diner, traditionally styled with everything you'll need to fix up a feast for breakfast, lunch and dinner. On the ground floor, there are two bedrooms with double beds, both styled in calming, neutral decor whilst one enjoys the use of an en-suite for convenience.

When the sun is shining, the garden is a wonderful place to be with a large sloping lawn overlooking the river and a pretty terrace for al fresco dining. Spend a day in the spa town of Harrogate (10 miles) and indulge at one of the local tearooms serving up tasty treats, including the iconic Bettys Harrogate.

Here, the architecture is awe-inspiring and gardens such as RHS Harlow Carr offer a tranquil escape from the buzz of the main town. For an outdoor adventure, explore the national park with a visit to the unique geology of Brimham Rocks (2 miles) or Fountains Abbey (9 miles) for a spot of history, each offering an invigorating walking route with plenty to see along the way.
