Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Rosanna Turton 1 Aug 2025 #### The cottage had pretty much everything we needed but there are a few issues. The cottage had pretty much everything we needed but there are a few issues. The sofas are very comfy and recline. The shower is electric and not powerful. The TV is Internet based channels only such as BBC I player. It also constantly wants to update. The tv remote had dead batteries. The pictures on the oven knob had worn away in places so you didnt know what function you were putting the oven on. There were no oven instructions and yet there was a folder full of instructions for everything else. The cottage is one of three in a pub courtyard so you do get pub noise. About 8.45am on a morning they crash the empty bottles into the bin. On a Friday there is a cask delivery. You are a few yards away from the outside smoking area so there is also noise from that on a night. Pateley bridge is a small town with a few gift shops. There are only 2 pubs. Lovely hot chocolate shop. The price we paid for our stay was very good value. ##### Rosanna Turton ### 6/10 Okay #### Little A. 24 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Location #### Nice size, but First off, we booked for 3 people and 10 days. We were given 1 trash bag, 2 1/2 rolls of toilet paper, two dishwasher pods, and one laundry pod. Not very well serviced. It must be noted that the courtyard the flat is in, is also a beer garden for a local pub. That means drunk people yelling and laughing until the wee hours of the morning with cigarette smoke making everything smell like an ashtrray. as well as a daily 7am wake up call from dumping all yhe glass bottles into the recycling. there is also a dog in the area that leaves presents and puddles roght on the front door mat. the flat has no hot eater heater so not even tepid water at the sinks or tub. shower is ok tho. no fans, rotten mop, no broom or dustpan, no vaccuum. ##### Little A.
