About this property
This traditional stone-built cottage makes a delightful holiday home for couples, solo travellers and small families enjoying a peaceful break in the heart of North Yorkshire. With the breathtaking North York Moors to the east and the stunning Yorkshire Dales to the west, the property is a fabulous base for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers exploring the region’s quaint villages, beautiful woodlands and stark moorlands. Offering cosy accommodation for up to three guests, this charming retreat is full of characteristic touches, with a warming wood burner, exposed timber beams and a courtyard garden.
Leaving coats and walking boots in the inviting porch, head through into the cheery lounge/diner. With a welcoming wood burner, comfortable seating and exposed beams, the lounge is an ideal space to sit back and chat about the day’s events across the Dales. There’s a lovely dining table over by the window, perfect for sharing favourite meals which you can cook in the light-filled and fully equipped kitchen. Upstairs, you will find a soothing family bathroom and two cheerfully decorated bedrooms: a cosy single and a relaxing double, each with ample storage space. Stepping outside, the pretty courtyard garden is reached via a shared path – please keep pets on leads – and features a decked area with plenty of outdoor furniture so you can sit back and enjoy a drink in the evening.
The cottage lies in the quiet village of Patrick Brompton, with the friendly market town of Bedale to the south-east (4 miles). Bedale has a choice of great pubs and restaurants, and is home to a golf club and the popular Big Sheep and Little Cow Farm. The area has a wealth of fantastic attractions including The Forbidden Corner, Thorp Perrow, Harmby Waterfall, Jervaulx Abbey and the remains of Middleham Castle, all within 11 miles.

Wren Cottage was a lovely place to stay - very comfortable, clean and exceptionally well equipped. There were were welcome additional features such as the sensor lights on the stairs and in the bathroom. Just a pity the back door doesn't open directly on to the garden but that wasn't really a problem. There was easy access to various places to visit and I would definitely book again.

Ideally situated cottage for visiting all the places we wished to visit during our stay. The cottage is very well equipped, with virtually everything you would need and more besides. There is also a lovely welcome pack waiting for you on arrival. The beds were comfortable and linen of good quality. All Freeview channels on the TV are there, but only Iplayer and ITVX seemed to work during our stay. You can watch Netflix only if you’re prepared to log in using your own account and remember to log out before you leave. The parking space directly in front of the cottage is a little tight, especially if you have a big car, you have to reverse in off the main road, making sure not to hit a neighbours parked car as you go. A workman parked too far over one morning, blocking our exit. The garden at the rear is nicely set out. We didn’t use due to it being March. However, there is a working farm directly behind the garden, which contains sheep. The cottage does not have a boiler, heating is provided by electric heaters, with none in the kitchen which made it a little chilly. There are a couple of portable heaters provided though. Hot water is from an immersion heater, so you have to remember to turn it on, if you want hot water. The additional radiators only work if you get a roaring fire going on the multi fuel burner and keep it going. You are expected to buy your own fuel for this to work. We did enjoy our stay and if we wanted to visit the same area again, we would be happy to stay at Wren Cottage. We’re not sure we would go in the depths of winter though, due to the heating situation.
