Isolated cottage near Pateley Bridge. Walking distance of Sportsman’s Arms where we had two meals. Well equipped kitchen. Make sure you take shower gel (none available), toilet paper (small amount only in bathrooms). Lovely walk along disused railway line into Pateley Bridge. Beautiful view from cottage. Was warm and there is a great multi fuel burner in the living room.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Wickwoods. The views and countryside location added to our stay. We were rather disappointed in some of the equipment: tv kept cutting out every few minutes, downstairs shower was rather tricky to operate, there was no hairdryer, quite a lot of chipped plates in the kitchen.If the above could be rectified, we would give it 10/10!
