A very well equipped , comfortable cottage. It's location is very good for walking and day trips in the car around the dales. The cottage is very clean and well decorated.
We booked the cottage a bit at the last minute which always is a concern, but there was no need for this, absolutely no hesitation in reccommending it.
A lovely cottage in a great location for a variety of walking opportunities. Pennine way and coast to coast from the door as well as many other footpaths.
We enjoyed a wonderful week at Patna Cottage. There was a lovely welcome pack from the owners consisting of cake, biscuits, a lovely bottle of wine and even milk in the fridge! Fresh flowers in every room. The cottage was warm, clean and comfortable with everything you need. Wifi is very good too. The rear of the cottage overlooks a field and it was amusing to see the sheep and lambs coming to the window every day. We were lucky enough to actually see three lambs being born from the living room window. We even have a photo of a lamb sucking my finger through the open window!. Keld is a perfect location for exploring the Dales. It is very quiet and a dark skies area. Lovely walks from the cottage and stunning scenery in any direction you drive. There are good food pubs in Muker and Gunnerside nearby. We will certainly be staying here again.
Property overall was good apart from multi steps between all rooms. Better description of facilities to make clear no mobile signal available at property.
Comfortable cottage with quality, modern conveniences. Beds were comfortable and, even though the weather was cool, the rooms heated up well with the radiators.
Great area with lovely scenery and walks out the door. Be aware the closest proper shops are a fair drive away though. But that might be what you are looking for.
We enjoyed our first trip to the Dales and this area specifically. Will be back someday soon.
Such a beautiful cottage in an amazing village. The cottage was a great size with comfortable rooms. There were so many nice touches with the coffee and tea available plus some cake and a lovely welcome message.
Leoâs was spectacular as well with the river flowing by and plenty areas to walk, run and cycle.
Canât recommend this place high enough. Weâll be back
We had a lovely stay at this gorgeous cottage. The cottage is full of character. We were greeted with a lovely welcome tray. The cottage was lovely and clean. The cottage was very warm, in fact, we turned the heating down. We both enjoyed having the wood burner stove in the living room, providing a lovely atmosphere.
The kitchen was well equipped with all you need and plenty of plates and cutlery so if only 2 of you staying there was enough to be able to fill the dishwasher over a few days without having to wash up.
The bed was very comfortable, and space to put clothing in the drawers. I hairdryer was also provided. Thank you.
A nice electric shower and all you need in a bathroom.
The host was extremely helpful with any questions and responded very quickly dispite them being away on holiday themselves.
It was a wonderful stay at a very reasonable price. We hope to stay again.
I would highly recommend this cottage
Thank you for your hospitality
Homely cosy cottage with great walks on the doorstep
We spent a week over the New Year in this traditional dales cottage. All the rooms had stunning dales views plus lovely fresh winter/Christmas flowers which was a lovely touch. Included was a wonderful welcome tray and milk in the fridge! The Wi-fi was excellent and the log fire and radiators kept the cottage warm and cosy. The kitchen was well equipped with utensils and dishwasher.
Keld is well situated at the crossroads of the Coast to Coast and Pennine Way long-distance footpaths. There are several walks straight from the cottage including the many Waterfalls walk, Crackpot Hall and around Kisdon Hill to Muker.
The fascinating lead mine remains are a few miles down the dale and well worth exploring on a day's walk from Gunnerside. We had wonderful weather and made the most of it, coming home to chill in front of the log fire. Hope to visit again one day as I love the isolated beauty of its location.
Excellent place to stay. The best 3 person cottage we have ever stayed in. Stunning location. In my opinion some of the best walking in England. A great 'starter' pack was left by the owners even though we only stayed for 4 nights - thank you. They even left us a pumpkin to carve as it was Halloween, which we all appreciated, particularly my son who did the carving - thanks again. We would definitely recommend this cottage and hope to visit again soon. Five stars. Cheers.
Patna is a characterful, well equipped property, of an ideal size for my wife, son and I. Anthony is an excellent and thoughtful host. The property has many modern touches which make living in this relatively remote corner of the Dales park an absolute pleasure with few compromises to the more densely populated areas ie perfect for us! Please note the web page I saw said the property location was in Muker, but this property is actually in Keld, which for us was better. We would happily return to Patna in the future.
We have just spent another wonderful week in this comfortable and cosy cottage. A generous welcome tray was provided and lovely fresh flowers in every room. The location of the cottage is so peaceful. We loved the sheep coming to say hello on a morning. This was our second walking holiday to Swaledale having totally fallen in love with the area. We enjoyed walks to and from Reeth making use of the little white bus. We had planned to eat out a couple of evenings but the cottage was so comfortable that we didn't want to leave again. We lit the stove in the living room every evening - a coal bunker of free fuel is provided which is very generous.
The cottage now has super fast broadband and a new smart tv which we enjoyed on an evening.
We have stayed in a number of cottages but this is by far our favourite.We were really sad to leave and can't wait to return soon.
We love this area and have visited before and will no doubt visit again. The is our first time in Keld and the cottage was a great place to stay. The owners had left a little welcome gift for us including some wine and cake, my wife liked the cake....Keld is the middle of the coast to coast walk so there is very easy access to lots of footpaths and bridleways nearby.
The local pub is less than 5 mins walk up the road and although the food selection is small it is all beautifully cooked.
The house has TV, WI-FI (handy as the nearest phone reception is over a mile away), one double and one single bed (in two rooms). The bathroom is between them both with a shower over the bath.
Everything is clean and tidy, well looked after, the perfect place to stay for a quite break.
We had everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. It is a beautiful location with walks you can do straight from the door. Or equally get a bus down the Dale. The cottage is well equipped and the owners helpful and welcoming. Recommended
Lovely cosy property with all we desired for a perfect stay. Super welcoming tray and fresh flowers
Tucked away in the beautiful village of Keld, surrounded by fabulous scenery. Lots to access from property, on foot or by car. We also had perfect weather!
The property had everything you need for a great stay and the welcome tray and milk in the fridge nice touch. The views over the hay meadows from the living room and bedroom are a sight to behold. Will be staying again. Don't forget to keep the bird feeder stocked in your stay, intimate views from the kitchen.
The cottage was very comfortable,clean and well equipped.
The fresh flowers were a lovely thought.
The welcome tray was much appreciated and the surrounding countryside was stunning in the sunshine.
We would highly recommend this property.
We would
We found the cottage without any problems after the lkovely drive over the moors. It was really clean and welcoming. There was a great selection of ggodies hat had been left including biscuits a cake a bottle of wine, milk tea and coffee etc. There was also a bottle of olive oil and vinegar which was a great touch - thankyou.
The log burner was really easy to light ( I didn't even have to use a fire lighter!!) and it really gave off an incredible amount of heat.
The cottage is located in a brilliant spot to do a number of walks straight from the front door as on the Coast to Coast and Pennine Way footpaths. We enjoyed the walk to Muker over the moor and back along the river. The walk past the waterfalls is much gentler after the initial drop and climb.
Keld Lodge is handy for a pint and although the choices on the menu ( March) was limited the food was plentiful and nicely cooked and presented.
You would have to drive ( or catch a bus) if you needed to get any other provisions in as there is only a small corner shop in Muker ( closed when we were there).
There was a wifi connection although this did fade in and out occasionally ( BUT we were on holiday and a connection was not essential!!) The phone was a really good idea in case people needed to get in touch in emergencies as there is no mobile network for miles :-).
The view of the hill behind the cottage is great and it was lovely seeing the sheep come close up to the windows.
An absolutely brilliant stay in a fabulous cottage in a wonderful location. We will definitely be back.

We live in West Yorkshire and have always loved the Yorkshire Dales, having visited regularly as children.
We usually go for walks from Keld, one of our favourites is to follow the river Swale down to Muker. A gentle stroll of just over 3 miles, much of it through wild flower meadows.
We also cycle, usually on the road. One of our favourite runs, when we are feeling fit, is up to Tan Hill, down Arkengarthdale to Reeth and then back up Swaledale past Gunnerside and Muker.
In 2011 we had the opportunity of buying Patna which we renovated with with the help of a talented , local builder. We live around 60 miles away and visit frequently.
