A spacious and beautifully decorated house in a very central location of Hawes. Parking nearby was easy, had no trouble finding suitable spaces. Shops are less than a 2-3 minute walk.

Gorgeous cottage in a superb location. Kitchen is great and ideal if you have a dog (though she did like the underfloor heating !). Wonderful pubs serving great food. The White Hart pies are amazing. If you like walking in wonderful Yorkshire, then I highly recommend you stay here.

The layout of the cottage is fantastic. The kitchen is an amazing space to cook in. The garden was excellent especially as we have two boarder terriers. The space allowed them to run around off the lead. The location is fantastic, a short walk and your in The centre of Hawes.

Old Penny Bank is a lovely cottage, good facilities within the cottage and a good location for Hawes and the Yorkshire Dales. Unfortunately the lorries going past did wake us up early, mainly due to the road surface changing from tarmac to cobbles outside the cottage - but this is obviously not the fault of the owner and is unavoidable.

The cottage is right in the centre of Hawes and in an excellent location ( it is right on the main road so bear in mind that there will be traffic and people walking past).

Very comfy house and good location for the town etc. Nice garden to sit in beside the waterfall and were lucky enough to be able to get a parking space just around the corner. There is a lot of through traffic lorries and agricultural vehicles which u might hear from 5am if like me you like a window open, but no big deal
