About this property

Three en-suite bedrooms - two of them on the ground floor - and an enclosed garden bordered by the Pennine Way are among the many fabulous features of this handsome holiday home. Super pet friendly and little more than a mile from Hawes, it''s a great base for a Dales break.

This former schoolhouse is full of character and space, its heritage features including high ceilings and mullion windows complemented by a multitude of contemporary must-haves. Step into the large hallway and there''s ample space to deposit outdoor gear and dry muddy paws - up to four pets are welcome here! Head through to the cosy lounge, where an original ornamental fireplace and choice of seating suggest companionable evenings with the Smart TV for home-style entertainment. The stylish kitchen/diner has everything required to cook delicious meals; you''ll linger around the large farmhouse table long after the dishwasher has been loaded. When it''s time to say goodnight, the ground floor has two super-king-size bedrooms, each with stunning views over the garden and Dales beyond. Upstairs, there''s another spacious super-king-size bedroom - for ultra-flexibility and comfort, all three bedrooms have zip-and-link beds that can be made up as twins on request, plus their own en-suite shower rooms. A beautiful lawned garden to the rear of the property has a patio area with dining table and chairs - the perfect place to fire up the BBQ while drinking in the countryside views. To the front of the house, a small patio area is ideal for catching the morning sun.

In the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, Hardraw is a charming village best known as the location of Hardraw Force, England''s highest single-drop waterfall - it''s set within the grounds of the historic inn less than 100 metres from your doorstep. If you fancy a longer walk, follow the Pennine Way to Hawes (1.5 miles), one of England''s highest towns and home of the world-famous Wensleydale Cheese. Alternatively, enjoy a day at Bolton Castle (12 miles), a medieval fortress offering stunning views and engaging tours, visit the mesmerising Aysgarth Falls (10 miles), or drive the dramatic Buttertubs Pass to Thwaite (6 miles).

      Very comfortable accommodation enjoyed by three couples and their 4 dogs. Great location for country walks. Stroll up part of the Pennine Way that runs up the side of the adjoining house each morning to see a stunning sunrise. Local pub has a lovely atmosphere and good food and drink.

      We loved our stay. It was amazing so cosy, warm and had everything we needed. Decorated so nicely with lots of thought put into each room. Sitting in the garden was so peaceful and relaxing after a busy day. Would recommend to everyone and would definitely go back. Thank you.

      We had a stunning week mid-September and made full use of the walks right on our doorstep and the amazing drives over the Dales. Accommodation was excellent. Would certainly revisit.
