About this property
6 Riverdale is a beautiful, character terraced cottage superbly situated in the centre of Bainbridge, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The cottage was previously part of a cottage hotel and has been made into a lovely holiday home. Bainbridge is a pretty village with its green, the river Bain, several shops, tea room, and local pub less than 300 yards from the cottage, which features spacious, well-positioned living areas, perfect for a family of six looking to explore the countryside. Three large bedrooms are situated on the lower ground floor, a king-size with en-suite, a double with exposed beams, and a twin, along with a bathroom. The spacious, open-plan living area has a sitting area with woodburning stove and Smart TV, a dining area, and a modern kitchen, the 'U' shape living and kitchen space allows for guests to be together, but separate in the sitting area. You'll also have access to your own private suntrap, nestled within the pretty enclosed garden; enjoy a glass of wine in a tranquil environment, or a coffee once you've awoken. Easing your self-catering escape, head to the village centre, where you can dine out at Sycamore Restaurant, offering British staples, enjoy afternoon tea at Cornmill Tea Room, or simply grab the essentials at the local Post Office and butchers. The backdrop of 6 Riverdale will be ideal for outdoor fans, surrounded by footpaths and walking trails, throughout the National Park, whilst Aysgarth Falls, a triple flight waterfall, sets the perfect scene for a relaxing stroll. The village of Askrigg is within easy reach, along with famous walks and cycle rides, including around Semerwater with its inland beach, and waterfalls, and the Roman road on return, can be accessed straight from the door. Fishing is available nearby by arrangement and there is a riding centre less than a mile south of the village. By car, venture to Dales Countryside Museum, displaying some fascinating stories of the surrounding community, enjoy a family-fun day at Bolton Castle, including a falconry experience, or take in the beautiful surroundings of Hardraw Force Waterfall just beyond Hawes, and Middle Falls. Threshfield Quarry is also a must-see beauty spot, whilst Richmond Obelisk, and Ulshaw Bridge share architectural history, dating back to medieval times. Relish in the North Yorkshire countryside, by choosing 6 Riverdale as your abode.
Bainbridge, a lovely Wensleydale village, is located in absolutely magnificent surroundings just a mile and a half from Askrigg, well known to millions as Darrowby in James Herriot's "All Creatures Great and Small," and four miles from Hawes, the birthplace of Wensleydale cheese. The community of Bainbridge has a large village green with its own set of stocks. Aysgarth Falls, Semerwater, castles at both Castle Bolton and Middleham, and, of course, Hardraw Force - England's tallest single, unbroken, drop waterfall at 99ft! There are many attractive market towns and villages to explore, such as Leyburn and Middleham, to name a few.

Out of coutesy i emailed the landlord before I replied to your request for a review. My contact number is This is the Email i have sent to the landlord 5 days ago without response. Arriving at the cottage we came into a lovely spacious and comfortable first floor . The small lobby had a dog bowl and towels that was very pleasing for our dog Poppy. The kitchen was spotless with all the updated mod cons anyone could wish for. A bottle of red wine from the owners was a lovely touch. A nice dining table to eat from was also amust. Entering the spacious spottless sitting room found a very comfortable area where you could sit and relax with TV and internet connection which was excellent. However it goes very quickly downhill when going downstairs to the Bedrooms and Bathrooms. Your senses were blasted by lots of plug in airfreshners, reed defusers and random smellies and a plethara of disposable moisture de humiders. Unfortunitly this could not come close to masking the smell of damp. Undetered we ventured downstairs to find nice beds and bedrooms and well appointed spotless bathrooms and shower. Together with lovely clean fresh towels. Trying not to let the smell of damp spoil things we went for a walk and a bite to eat which was more than pleasant. The next morning found the sheets feeling dampish and the overwheming stench of damp. After 2 days our clothes in the wardrobes and the drawers smelt damp and mouldy thus we brought our clothes upstairs and put them all on the kitchen table. We tried another night in bed but the smell of damp became too overwhelming. We managed another night on the sofa but we had enough on the Tuesday morning and we returned home instead of coming home on the Friday which we had paid for.
