This unique holiday property seamlessly blends original features with contemporary luxury and amenities, offering an unforgettable stay for families and groups of friends. Hardraw, nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, is a charming village that captivates visitors with its natural beauty and rich heritage. A prime attraction is Hardraw Force, England's highest single-drop waterfall, set within the grounds of the historic local pub, less than 100 metres from the property. Nearby, the picturesque market town of Hawes (1.5 miles) offers the fascinating Dales Countryside Museum and the renowned Wensleydale Creamery where you can sample and purchase delicious local cheeses. Enjoy a day exploring Bolton Castle (12 miles), a medieval fortress offering stunning views and engaging tours, or visit Aysgarth Falls (10 miles), a series of mesmerising waterfalls featured in the movie ‘Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves’.

As you step into the large hallway, you’ll find ample space for leaving coats and wiping muddy paws after exploring the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Head through to the cosy lounge, where an original feature fireplace and comfortable sofas invite you to relax. Watch a film on the Smart TV or enjoy a glass of your favourite tipple with loved ones in this inviting space. The stylish kitchen/diner has everything you need to prepare delicious family meals. Gather around the large farmhouse table for lazy brunches or formal evening dinners, making every meal a special occasion. On the ground floor, you’ll also find two super-king-size bedrooms, each designed for ultimate comfort with luxurious linens and mattresses. Both bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms, and zip-and-link beds that can be separated into twins on request. They offer stunning views over the garden and the rolling dales beyond. Upstairs, the first floor boasts another spacious super-king-size bedroom (also zip-and-link) with an en-suite shower room, ensuring privacy and comfort for all guests.

At the rear of the property, a beautiful lawned garden with a patio area and dining furniture provides the perfect setting for outdoor relaxation.

Wonderful place, we had a lovely time. Owners are right next door if you have any issues. Beautiful scenery and right on the Pennine Way if you are a walker. Lovely sunny garden to sit with a glass of wine and watch the walkers if you're not.....If you have a dog that isn't great with other dogs you should be aware that next doors garden is onlyRead more separated by a wire fence and they have dogs too, they are very friendly and we didn't see them much but something to be aware of. Welcomed with some lovely homemade Hot Cross Buns that were yummy and set the tone for the week. Hide

Very comfortable accommodation enjoyed by three couples and their 4 dogs. Great location for country walks. Stroll up part of the Pennine Way that runs up the side of the adjoining house each morning to see a stunning sunrise. Local pub has a lovely atmosphere and good food and drink.

We loved our stay. It was amazing so cosy, warm and had everything we needed. Decorated so nicely with lots of thought put into each room. Sitting in the garden was so peaceful and relaxing after a busy day. Would recommend to everyone and would definitely go back. Thank you.

We had a stunning week mid-September and made full use of the walks right on our doorstep and the amazing drives over the Dales. Accommodation was excellent. Would certainly revisit.
