We have picked up outstanding ratings for overall experience (5 stars). Our visitors have rated us highly across the board, for accuracy of description, cleanliness, communication, check in experience, location, and value. Since listing with this platform we have also been honoured to receive four awards for outstanding customer service. Bridge Cottage has been loved by several generations of our family, and as its current custodians we are excited about hosting visitors from around the globe.

About the outside space and the neighbourhood: The outside space has a terraced garden leading down to the river Bain, on which we have fishing rights. There are outdoor tables and chairs, a fire pit and BBQ for al fresco dining, and a further small seating area at the front of the house overlooking the green. There is a well equipped children's playground a short distance away which can be reached without crossing any roads. Askrigg village and the market towns of Hawes and Leyburn are nearby. There is no dedicated parking space at the cottage but it is usually possible for one car to park by the front door and there is free parking around the green. We are in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, an area of outstanding beauty, and we are within easy driving distance of the Lake District National Park, which adjoins The Dales.
