The location is highly praised for its proximity to Hawes, walking routes, and local attractions. It is considered a great base for exploring the area, with positive mentions in nearly all reviews.
The property is described as comfortable and cosy, with a warm atmosphere and comfy beds. However, concerns about steep stairs and suitability for those with limited mobility slightly affect the score.

Very comfortable, warm stone built cottage; everything provided for a good week’s holiday. Great location for walking, with many walk options straight from the door. Hawes town just 10 minutes down the hill with good range pubs, shops and cafes. Very helpful information and welcoming pack.
