On the whole the cottage was very nice. Central, views were amazing. When we arrived the heating and hot water controls were in holiday mode. It took quite a while to fathom out how to get them to come on as described in the info pack.

Lovely property. Clean and comfortable with everything you need. Bright and airy rooms. Bedrooms large, plenty of storage and comfortable beds. Nice bedding and towels.

The cottage is very practical in terms of location. Parking was easy and the heating and fire kept us cosy. However the furnishing and decor is functional but not attractive.

High House is a comfortable and well equipped with everything you need. Despite being conveniently just round the corner from the shops, pubs etc we found it very peaceful. Beautiful view from the back of the property. Hawes is a lovely little town and a great base from which to explore the area.

Recently stayed at High House, what a fabulous choice! Only two bedrooms but the whole cottage is very spacious. Very well equipped, even a cafetire! The only thing missing was tea towels, I know theyre often not provided but wed forgotten ours. Centrally placed in Hawes so great for pubs, cafes and shops.

Top class bed linen and towels, the beds were comfortable and the shower works great. I didnt park in the courtyard as it looked a bit tight and Im not the best driver but there was plenty of parking on the road outside, just a few yards away. All in all, a lovely cottage and we hope to book again some time. Hide

Ideal location for Hawes, space for a small car to park off road, shops in a short walking distance around the corner. Property is large and spacious.

We loved everything about High House: spacious living room, extremely well equipped kitchen and nice dining area, very comfortable bed-rooms, good bathroom with shower & bath and plenty of room for hanging wet towels to dry. Bed linen and towels provided, all excellent quality. Shame there is only a narrow balcony at the rear to enjoy the scenery. Read moreThe stone stairs up to the front door, not suitable for some.
