This delightful Dales cottage is both quaint and quirky, having been tastefully furnished the cottage retains many traditional features with stone flagged floors throughout the ground floor, exposed stone walls and beamed ceilings.
Rose Cottage is both a warm and very comfortable cottage from which to explore the many delights, attractions and events of Wensleydale, Swaledale and further afield.
The living room in this lovely cottage has a feature fireplace with wood burning stove offering a warm and cosy retreat on those cold winter evenings. The beautiful sash windows give wonderful views of the river, fields, and countryside.
Hardraw is a charming village with an array of traditional dales cottages, a church, tearoom, a village pub, and holds regular sheep dog demonstrations throughout the summer. Within a few minutes’ walk you will find Hardraw Force, England’s largest single drop waterfall, reputed to be 100 ft and set in grounds behind the Green Dragon car park.
The cottage sits a mile from the market town of Hawes, home to the famous ‘Wallace & Gromit’ Wensleydale cheese with its working factory, museum, visitors' centre, and restaurant.
Hardraw is an excellent base for walking and cycling with many walks and cycle routes through the beautiful countryside.
