Lovely quirky cottage, close to town amenities but in a great position, we couldn’t find anything that the owners hadn’t thought of , fully equipped and then some, very thoughtful welcome pack, we loved all the item but especially the cheese and crackers , owners where thoughtful enough to email and inform us that the cottage was ready and we could go in early. Will definitely be booking again and would very highly recommend.

One of the nicest and well equipped properties we have stayed in. It had everything you could possibly want and was in an ideal location for visiting Hawes and the surrounding area. We would definitely recommend it for a visit to the Yorkshire Dales
