Frequently Asked Questions
You are dog friendly - so how many dogs can we bring?
I am very happy for owners to bring one small/medium sized dog (up to Labrador size). If you wish to bring more than one dog, please contact me in the first instance, as space within the cottage can be a bit limited with larger dogs.
Can we check in early or check out late?
Check in times are 4pm, but if the cottage is ready, I can allow you earlier access.
Check out time is 10am prompt please, in order that I can clean and prepare the cottage for the next guests arriving.
How far away are the shops?
Pateley Bridge is 1.5miles away and has an award winning High Street with lovely small independent shops and eateries. Additionally, there are two small supermarkets - Spar at the foot of the High Street on the right hand side and Co-op/Nisa store within the petrol station across the bridge.
The villages of Summerbridge and Dacre, also have very good, well stocked village stores on the main roads, in the heart of each village. They both stay open til late and are open on Sundays.

The Royal Oak is across the river, on the hill at Bridgehousegate.
Where is the nearest EV charging station?
Southlands Car Park, Pateley Bridge, is due to be operational very soon and may be in use by the time of your stay.
There are others in Ripon, Killinghall (behind Tesco) and Harrogate, approx a 20 minute drive away.
