States parking, doesnt say you have to be lucky to get a spot after constant watching/waiting for one as its a town with shops so lots of locals as well as visitors wanting a spot ! Having to do this put us off going anywhere by car after the first 2 days! Once we got a space it stayed there till end of our trip. Next booking i make will have its own parking space.

We loved our stay in this cottage. The location is very central and ideal; a 2 minute walk to the Wensleydale Creamery, the convenience store, chip shop and pubs within a stone's throw. We will be back. Thank you.

The cottage is so cute and quirky!Very clean! It is so very central in Hawes; excellent location. Wonderful Chippie across the street; market outside the door on Tuesday, Wensleydale Cheese outlet/giftshop/factory a few steps away. The entire village is within walking distance and a delightful, nostalgic break from the workaday world. That doesnt mean its sleepy; its a vibrant, bustling village!Perhaps a bit more emphasis on the quirkiness of the cottage would be helpful. The stairway system, while extremely charming, could be quite a hindrance to anyone to has even the slightest mobility issue(s). They are winder-style steps and can be tricky. As well, the bathroom is at the top of the first flight, lounge is two steps up from there; master bedroom is another short flight with the 2nd bedroom up another flight. Although we found this rather fun, to get up to the bathroom in the night was a challenge from the top floor. We left the hall light on.The beds werent the most comfortable. Springs poking in the master bed and the twin beds were quite unforgiving. Ok maybe for kids, but quite uncomfortable for adults. Another suggestion would be a larger saucepan or two. We tried to make porridge and the pot was small and very light-weight with the nonstick worn off. Overall, would highly recommend this sweet cottage for holidays!We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Hawes. Million dollar views all around! From the master bedroom in particular!

A lovely cottage in the heart of Hawes. Easy access to attractions in Hawes, and fabulous walking in the area. Cottage is on 3 levels so there are some stairs, can be busy outside with bikers at weekends. Good access to shops, pubs and chip shop! We would definitely visit again.

About the host

Hosted by Annette Law

I have been visiting North Yorkshire for over 35 years with my husband and latterly with our two children and have now realised a dream and purchased our own cottage to share the the delights of the Yorkshire Dales with our guests. The Dales is a place where we can come and de-stress as we all lead hectic lives. We are pleased to share our home from home with all that you would expect to make your stay complete.

Why they chose this property

Excellent local amenities and good tourist attractions and remote walks. We have visited North Yorkshire for over thirty five years and have fallen in love with 'God's own country'.

Good cleanliness reviews. Disinfectant and all surfaces wiped down. Complimentary hand santiser

What makes this property unique

We have free, robust, intenet access for guests, all local amenities are within walking distance of the cottage and the quirky layout is unique. These are the features that drew us to this property and account for many returning guests.

The property is an ideal holiday home in terms of cleanliness, amenities, location and one pet dog.
