About this property

Quirky Cottage in The Heart Of The Yorkshire Dales. Great reviews. Book early.

Good cleanliness reviews.

Superbly positioned on the edge of the bustling market town of Hawes in Upper Wensleydale. This quirky cottage spans three floors offering compact yet cosy holiday accommodation. An abundance of features including Yorkshire Flagstone floors, exposed beams and decorative cast iron range have been retained in order to enhance the character of this delightful cottage. There is free, robust and unlimited wi-fi should you wish to remain connected during your holiday.
Scores well on value for money and cleanliness time and again.
Please note from April 2026, we have a nesting bird in the roof above the master bedroom. We are unable to move the nest by law until the fledglings have flown.

Had another great stay at this cottage, third time back here so that says something. Quirky but great, stairs may be an issue to elderly or less mobile. Excellent position in the town with parking right outside. Shops, cafes and pubs within 100 yards. Fantastic fish & chip shop just across the road. Local buses to railway station and local town stops within yards of the front door. Wensleydale creamery a 10 minute walk. Countryside is stunning.

The property is in the heart of Hawes, it does have a quirkiness to it, 2 nice bedrooms with comfy beds. Lovely sized bathroom. The kitchen is long and has everything you need for a homely stay. The only down side of the kitchen is cupboard space for storing food. The cottage sleeps 4 but there is enough crockery for a dozen or more taking up to much cupboard space. The cottage is just minutes from pubs which also sell food and welcome dogs, nice shops from outdoor to crafts. There are some lovely walks from the doorstep. Annette the host is lovely, she responds very quickly to all messages. I would recommend the cottage and would definitely come back again

About the host

Hosted by Annette Law

Host profile image
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.
