We stayed in Watersedge few years ago. It has been refurbished since. Nice cottage. Maybe a bit of extra cleaning on shelves and lampshades required. But in general very clean, well equipped and comfortable. The heating boiler stopped one morning but was rectified by the call-out engineer that afternoon. (A new boiler is being arranged). There was hot water in the shower and no dramas as there was alternate heating with a fan heater and a log burner not that these were needed by us. We were there for 'walking' and the location suited that admirably. The many facilities in Hawes were sufficient and available. Although we were lucky with dry weather the hanging space, radiator and boot storage would prove really beneficial should any wet clothes need drying.

We had a lovely stay at this beautyfull cottage.The curtains in bedrooms are not that usefull. We are travelling with an infant so we had to create a dark room and I sleep better as well when it is darker.
