Guests say
The Barn House in Hawes is a spacious and well-equipped cottage, praised for its cleanliness, comfortable beds, and excellent location within walking distance of the town and local attractions. Guests appreciated the helpful staff and the added bonus of a games room and dog walking area. While the lack of a garden and minor maintenance issues were noted, the overall experience was highly positive, with many guests keen to return.
Multiple reviews highlight the high standard of cleanliness, with guests describing the property as 'incredibly clean' and 'not cluttered'. One minor issue was mentioned regarding a full bathroom bin on arrival, but this did not detract significantly from the overall impression.
The location is frequently praised, with guests enjoying the proximity to Hawes and the Dales, as well as easy access to walks, pubs, and attractions. The cottage's setting on the edge of a campsite was also appreciated for its tranquillity.
Guests found the cottage comfortable, with particular mention of comfortable beds and spacious living areas. Some minor issues were noted, such as a broken sofa and a curling rug, but these did not significantly impact overall comfort.
The property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and benefits from extras like a games room and dog walking area. However, guests noted a lack of spare crockery, some maintenance issues (heating, toilets, sofa), and limited storage in some bedrooms.

Roomy accommodation on the edge of a camper van site a 15 minute walk into town. Quiet and comfortable, site staff very helpful. Close by the site games room, quiet because we were out of season, table tennis was fun, and using the room for our bikes was appreciated. The kitchen was OK but small. Best when only 2 people in the kitchen. Kitchen fire door was very stiff to open. Beds comfortable and plenty of storage in rooms. En suites would benefit from lock on door and brighter lighting needed in the dining/living room. We could have done with more surplus cups and cutlery. Overall though an excellent place we would recommend.

We have just returned from a wonderful week-long stay at the Barn House. We were tackling the Dales section of the Coast to Coast path and the cottage was the perfect base from which to do so. The house is warm, well-equipped and located just outside the centre of Hawes, meaning everything in the town was accessible on foot.The house itself was spacious enough for all eight of us, and the couple who were managing the site during our week could not have been more helpful! An unfortunate issue with the hot water was quickly and efficiently resolved as well. The cottage has no garden, but nor does it need one as the campsite is beautiful and Hawes is in the heart of the Dales. We would unquestionably stay here again and we cannot recommend the Barn House highly enough! Thank you so much Nicola and your very helpful husband!
