We made a long weekend of it.. Can't fault Winn Cottage which is in a great location, although no parking we found no difficulty in finding a space during a bank holiday weekend. Cottage was just the right size for the two of us and our Jack Russell, Scampi. Kitchen was well equipped and although compact we found no difficulty in knocking up a couple of meals.
Overall the cottage was clean and well kept, helpful instructions if needed, plenty of storage space for clothes which is always a bonus for those of us who find it impossible to travel light!!! As we were walking one massive bonus, although I'd already purchased one, was the OS map which is the first one we have come across in any cottage we've booked before, very thoughtful and more owners should take note.
Pateley Bridge is a great centre with all the amenities you could require, very dog friendly, Scampi enjoyed the crack in the Crown and Royal Oak and especially the ladies (and cake!!) in The Coffee House located in King's Court. He also like to press his nose up against Kendall's window which is a must for any visitor.
Plenty of good walks for those inclined, we did Brimham Rocks circular one day and then Bewerley heritage walk taking in Cold Stones Cut the next. For those who prefer a bit of retail therapy close enough to the bright lights of Harrogate.
Winn Cottage is definitely on our list of cottages to return to in the future.
