As cottage veterans we can endorse all the comments on the quality of this cottage. It is beautifully appointed. Add to that the delightful welcome from Denise and all the treats awaiting us, and no wonder we were set up for a good week. We know Pateley from before and the shops provide high quality food and drink, we must give a special mention to Elliots, such friendly people. The Italian restaurant Ollies is highly recommended , a real treat. The weather has been varied but you can usually get a half day walk in, one way or another. Yorkes Folly is well worth it and the views of the Dale are superb. Scar House Reservoir is a bit bleak but a good walk. We managed one buzzard, ten herons all together and swallows mobbing a bird of prey, perhaps a Peregrine Falcon. All in all a cracking holiday. Thank you again.
