Heather Lea

Heather Lea comes fully equipped for a self-catering stay. Electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are all included; initial logs for the wood burner are provided too. The kitchen has everything needed to cook from scratch—electric range, dishwasher, American fridge freezer and microwave—and opens onto the garden through bi-fold doors. The living room and one bedroom have smart TVs. Parking for four cars is on site, and there's an electric charging point available.

The property spreads across two floors with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The ground floor holds a super king bedroom with ensuite walk-in shower, two single beds in a second room, and a family bathroom with both bath and cubicle shower. Upstairs are a double and another pair of singles. A wood burner in the living room adds warmth on cooler evenings, and the garden has patio seating. The cottage is positioned to catch countryside views and sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near Summerbridge, between Harrogate and Pateley Bridge. A pub is within a mile's walk. No smoking is permitted inside.

The surrounding area suits walkers and cyclists, with access to ancient woodland and proximity to Studley Royal, Fountains Abbey and the market towns nearby. Harrogate is 12 miles away; York about 28 miles.
