We just spent a wonderful week at Briardene. The location is absolutely perfect, with tearooms, pubs, grocery shopping and shops within easy walking distance. Bewerley and Pateley Bridge are home to many of England's wonderful footpaths, some flat along the river, and some that lead up onto the moor above, with gorgeous views. Lots of interesting history to learn about. The next-door neighbor, Paul, is absolutely delightful, and a great source of information. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend Rachel's Tearoom. The cottage itself was completely serviceable, although older people should be aware that the stairs are steep. Mike & Jan Olympia, Washington, USA
