A gorgeous hideaway in the vibrant town of Hawes, this is the perfect base from which to explore the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom duplex apartment is ideal for two couples on holiday together. Make the most of being right in the heart of the town, where you can stock up on local delicacies and reserve tables in friendly eateries. Browse the colourful stalls of the market every Tuesday and buy freshly made cheese when you visit the renowned Wensleydale Creamery. Enjoy a circular 4-mile walk from Hawes to picturesque Aysgill Force. You can also walk 2 miles to see the waterfalls at Cotter Force and Hardraw Force. Take a step back in time with a visit to Bolton Castle (12.5 miles), where you can wander the gardens and explore the medieval ruins. Spend a day in Richmond (24 miles), with its impressive castle.
Head through the shared entrance hall and up a flight of stairs to find your first-floor retreat. On entry, uncover reverse-level accommodation with a wealth of original features that blend with modern, homely comforts. At the lower level await the two king-size bedrooms, both with plenty of character and space. Serving the bedrooms and completing the lower floor is a contemporary bathroom with a free-standing bath and a separate shower. Head upstairs to find the social heart of the apartment, the open-plan living space. This charming room sits under the eaves of the house, features more exposed beams, and combines a well-appointed kitchen with a cute dining space and lounge. Find everything needed in the kitchen for cooking up holiday feasts, which you can enjoy at the round wooden table or at a taller table set beside a window framing views of the town and surrounding dales. After each meal, head over to the lounge to sink into the soft seating, flick on the Smart TV, and bask in the glow of the wood burner during the chillier months.
While there is no dedicated outdoor space at the apartment, its central location means you’re never far from the banks of Gayle Beck and the town’s historic streets – both ideal for morning walks and post-dinner strolls. Parking is on-street or in a public car park 100 metres away, both of which are subject to availability.
