You will instantly notice how original features from the 19th-century building such as the exposed stone walls and beams have blended with contemporary cottage-style décor to create a homely feel, with underfloor heating as an added bonus. At the heart of the room is a wood burner, perfect for snuggling up in front of to enjoy a DVD or good book. Upstairs, you will find the two relaxing bedrooms (one double and one twin) with cool, calm tones and a range of country-style furniture creating a simple, but stylish feel. The family bathroom sits between the two and has a bath to soak into when those weary legs need a rest.

We had a fantastic week's holiday at Waterside Cottage. The cottage had everything we needed for a family of 4. The cottage was clean and the beds super comfy, great after a long walk on the moors. The garden was an added bonus. A great location - quiet but within easy distance for some amazing walks.

Waterside Cottage is delightful - an absolute gem. The riverside location is exquisite, and the cottage's location is both beautiful and exceptionally peaceful. The cottage is welcoming and comfortable, and we, as a family of four, felt that every need was met or provided for. All in all, a tranquil and appealing home from home.

This is a great little cottage for exploring the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Extremely Quiet location which has its advantages but not very near to a shop for the emergency pint of milk so its necessary to stock up a little beforehand, however, not a problem at all.
