Heatherstone Cottage

The serenity is unparalleled in this exceptional Yorkshire Dales retreat, a stone-built cottage that’s been thoroughly modernised for four guests. The property is just off the Nidderdale Way, a walking route for exploring the stunning scenery of the Nidderdale National Landscape.

Follow it to reach highlights including Brimham Rocks (7.5 miles) and How Stean Gorge (10 miles). The picturesque market town of Pateley Bridge is just 3.5 miles from home, complete with the River Nidd running through it and a historic high street lined with locally owned shops, including an award-winning butcher.

Nearby villages include Grassington (7 miles), Burnsall (6.5 miles) and Appletreewick (5.5 miles), all ideal for country pubs and quality walks. Visit the historic ruins of Bolton Abbey (10 miles) and Fountains Abbey (12 miles), and be sure to make time for trips to market towns including Skipton (13 miles), Ilkley (16 miles), Ripon (15 miles) and Harrogate (16 miles).

This holiday home has been entirely renovated to a high standard, maintaining some of its original design features while providing an unrivalled level of luxury throughout. Step into the entrance hall to leave coats and boots behind, before wandering through to the lounge, where a feature fireplace and Smart TV are set into a stunning, hand-crafted Venetian plaster wall.

The fireplace is a real flame-effect electric fire, adding a warm ambience to cosy nights in, while the Smart TV sits above it for entertainment. Surround sound turns this space into a media hub, while mood lighting can be set to enhance the atmosphere of your movie night.

Move from here into the kitchen/diner, a sleek spot with pro appliances, including a bean-to-cup coffee machine. The stairs up to the first floor have lighting installed, guiding your way even in the dead of night.

Upstairs, two bedrooms offer exceptional design: the first is a king-size room with a walk-in wardrobe, while the second is a stylish double. Both rooms feature mood lighting, USB charging sockets and en-suite bathrooms – one with a walk-in shower, while the other also features a freestanding rolltop bath.
