Lovely house in a great location. Easy parking which is an advantage in Hawes. The beds were comfortable but one of the sofa's was a bit saggy. The kitchen was well equipped. Just bring your own washing up brush, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and kitchen cleaner. Would recommend the local fish and chips shop. There was plenty of good waRead morelks from the door and the Little White Bus allowed us to explore further afield without needing to use the car Hide

A perfect holiday home. The pictures do not do enough justice. The home is very spacious, and the garden is perfect. My daughter loved playing with the board games and toys available. Excellent location only 2 minutes walk from the center of the village. Highly recommended at a very reasonable price.

Lovely cottage, well laid out, which is nicely located on the outskirts of Hawes, only a 3-4 min walk to the pub and shops. Everything you need is either in the cottage or located close by. But currently there is no WIFI in the house although the mobile phone signal was good enough for all the web surfing and emails we as a couple needed to do. Read more Hide

This cottage (well house really) is beautiful inside. It was very clean and spacious and warm (thank you!) and very well equipped. Lovely kitchen and bathrooms. Super views fron all the windows and all very quiet. Our only criticism of the cottage is that the mattress on the bed in the main bedroom is very hard - we couldn't cope with it as it gaveRead more us so many aches and pains. We gave up in the end and used the other double room which was fine. Luckily there were only two of us so we had options. From the cottage it is an easy short walk to four great pubs, several good eating places and the best chippie we've been to in a long while. There is a Spar shop and another very nice grocers, a butcher and bakers shop. Wensleydale Creamery is on the doorstep which has a nice shop and cafe and does tours. The Dales Museum is very good too. We had lovely weather and did some super walks - two from the cottage up Whether and Straggs Fells and others a short drive away. There's loads to do here - we went on a tour of the Black Sheep brewery, to Middleham Castle, Ingleton waterfalls, Aysgarth Falls and Semer Water but there are many other options - it really is a great centre for a holiday.
