Set near beautiful Nidderdale, this lovely converted cottage is the perfect holiday home being in a secluded spot in peaceful countryside, which is also in short driving distance to the local market town of Otley and the spa town of Harrogate.

There are many miles of leisurely country walks to be enjoyed direct from the front door, including the enjoyable walk around Lindley Reservoir, which will be of particular interest to wildlife enthusiasts, as the area is home to a large number of bird species including goldcrests and woodpeckers. Within an easy drive is the spa town of Harrogate, a fantastic place for a day trip, as are the wonderful gardens at RHS Harlow Carr which visitors can pass on the way into the town. There are also several delightful towns and quaint villages to explore throughout the area, all with a great range of pubs, restaurants, shops and cafes, including Otley, Ilkley, and Pateley Bridge.

Upon entering the hallway, guests will immediately notice the well-designed touches, which feature throughout the cottage. The lounge provides a comfortable place to relax and catch up with friends and family, witha sofa arranged around the cosy wood burner and TV/DVD. There is also a cleverly designed area under the stairs in the lounge which can be used as a safe place to leave your dog, as an alternative to a crate. The well-designed cottage kitchen is equipped with electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and washer/dryer, everything required for holiday dining, and to help with the cleaning after, a dishwasher. There is also a ground floor separate WC. The dining area has an extendable table with seating for four. On the first floor you will find the two bedrooms, both doubles. Completing the accommodation is a charming bathroom with shower over bath and WC.

A lovely little cottage in a great location. Rural but not isolated. Great walks on the doorstep. Lots of birds and wildlife including deer. Nicely furnished. Good wifi connection. Lovely, peaceful garden. (The garden is opposite the house so just be aware of crossing the lane as cyclists do tend to whoosh around the corner!)

Beautiful and quaint little cottage set in a rural location yet in easy distance from small market towns . Plenty of lovely walks both on doorstep and nearby which was lovely with having our two dogs with us. Something of interest is the original emmerdale farm is at the end of the lane , for any emmerdale fans !! We did the village tour whilst theRead morere which this cottage is a perfect location to take in this attraction only being a 15 minute drive away. Harrogate also lovely Highly recommend. Hide

A peaceful week in the countryside, but with easy access to lots of towns and attractions nearby. We drove past it the first time, as we saw the door for the next-door cottage (friendly neighbour) but not Ivy Cottage - otherwise easy to get to and a relatively quiet lane, so felt safe to cross to the garden on the other side with a dog and young chRead moreild, and parking just slightly up the lane was fine, too.

It was our third year staying at Ivy Cottage & it didn't disappoint. Location is superb & so peaceful & private. The cottage garden is great and although across the lane no problem. I love the garden furniture set it's such a good size to sit around to enjoy a meal & comfortable too.

A lovely dog friendly cottage in a perfect location. Out of the way but only a few miles to Otley and lots of lovely walks. A path opposite takes you to the reservoir and beyond. If you dont walk theres plenty of options. Half hour away is Saltaire and the Hockney gallery, as well as the lovely towns of Harrogate and Ilkley. Kayleigh kindly emailedRead more us and said we could take the cat who was ill. Then checked in to make sure I had arrived safely. I would love to go back. Hide

We had a great 3 nights staying at Ivy Cottage. Ideal location for people wanting to visit Leeds, Bradford or Harrogate, but prefer being in the countryside, rather than in a town/city. Ivy Cottage is well equipped and has everything you need. Its a relatively small cottage, but added to the charm. Would definitely consider staying there again.

The cottage was even more beautiful than we expected. The thick walls were keeping us cool during the heatwave. The garden is amazing, we had dinner in the garden. The kitchen is lovely. We didn't want to leave. And we'll share our experience with our Dutch friend and make them want to stay in Ivy Cottage.

Ivy Cottage is lovely and homely, extremely well equipped, do search it is all there, it was comfortable for the 2 of us and our large dog, very much the rural cottage, but it is very small. Right on the roadside on a blind bend, can be busy with traffic, much care is needed, plus the garden being opposite the cottage taking food and drinks into itRead more was too challenging for us. The wine, choccy biscuits, milk and doggy treats were much appreciated. Hide
