About this property
This traditional, Victorian terraced townhouse is located in the popular town of Hawes, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Enjoying an enviable location close to the town centre, this lovely cottage is a short walk from the fantastic main street and a stones throw from the picturesque waterfall on the River Ure. Set over two floors, the ground floor features a cosy sitting room, a large dining room, and a well-equipped kitchen. Moving up to the first floor you will find two spacious bedrooms, providing ideal family accommodation, and completing the property is a bathroom. To the rear of the cottage is a south-facing, elevated patio area.
This is a superb, spacious place to sit and catch the sun and enjoy family time in pretty Yorkshire Dales surroundings. Next to the patio is a large garage, which offers a space to park your car, along with providing bike storage. Hawes is a real gem of the Yorkshire Dales, a stone-built market town with excellent pubs, restaurants, tea rooms and a very good selection of shops. Visitor attractions include a working rope maker, the Dales Countryside Museum and the much publicised Gayle Mill. The surrounding Upper Wensleydale scenery is absolutely stunning, some of the finest on offer in all the Yorkshire Dales and is renowned as one of the finest walking areas in the country.
A highlight would be taking a stroll alongside the River Ure at nearby Aysgarth Falls or going slightly further afield to the Yorkshire Dales Three Peaks. The market towns of Settle, Leyburn and Richmond are a short drive away, whilst Semerwater and Hardraw Force, England's highest single drop waterfall, are all nearby. A delightful cottage from which to explore Wensleydale, Swaledale and beyond.
The popular market town of Hawes within the Yorkshire Dales National Park has much to offer. There's walking routes from the town, with the Hawes Town Trail, Millennium Walk, Pennine Way and walks along the River Ure. Market day is on Tuesdays, and there's traditional shops, cafés and pubs in abundance. Also attractions in Hawes include the award-winning Wensleydale Creamery and the Dales Countryside Museum.

The owner is very friendly and helpful. The property is well maintained and warm. We wish the checking out time could be later than 9am however,as this is an abrupt end to a holiday, and a later time would add to the feeling of well- being that a week away should bring.
